Titleist 904F

I have to say this is the worst fairway club I own. I went back to my 980F, much better sole, and much easier to hit. The face on this club is way too tall, like probably taller than an iron. It reminds me of the first taylormade metal drivers, it's basically the same club.

 

The biggest problem with the 904, it bounces so easy off the turf, (the sole sucks) I am not a very steep swinger either, I never thought I would say that a club bounces, but this thing does.

 

I love my other titleist clubs irons and woods, but this is the only club that I hate.

 

All my fairways have the aldila nv 75s, that is my favorite shaft. I was the guy who rated this club a 1. No wonder this club wasn't out for very long before titleist started replacing it on the tour, I would guess the pro's must hate this thing.

 

980f is still as good as it gets, the 906f2 is better than the 904, but still not as easy to hit as the 980F

I have the 15 deg. with the speeder. Am I crazy, or does the face set up closed at address? I let my friend try it out and he swore it was a closed face club. After comparing his 906 with the 904, I had to agree with him. But its strange...all forums say its supposed to be neutral. Can anyone explain?

 

And yeah...I do tend to hook if I really go after it. Can't put the same swing on it as I would my driver or irons. With those, I play a light fade if I want to get aggressive. With the 904, forget it. I almost feel like I have to play a cut in order to hit it straight.

I have 15 and 19. I love both and can rock them both, sometimes to almost the same yardage....I have problems with fw in the rough and tended sky several in heavy rough with ball floating, thats all me. The club just shoots off the face. I really like them, and have played them for over year. I pulled my sonartec for this club because of the deeper face. It's just as long tho. very nice club. just get the right shaft.

I picked up a 904f 3 wood (15 degree) with an Aldila NV shaft a few months ago and it has become my favorite club.

It's long and accurate off the tee and I have good success with hitting it off the deck (never could hit a 3 wood off the deck in the past).

This club is solid, makes a beautiful muted "tink" at impact, and it's surprisingly easy to hit for this 14 handicap.

I have the 15* with the YS-6+ in an X-flex. Did not work out too well for me as a 3 wood since I could not get it to stop ballooning. Shortened it and inch, added some lead tape to the toe and it makes a great 4 wood. Awesome off the tee and great into the greens.

Why in the hell would you put a YS-6 in a fairway that is already made to hit the ball higher. No wonder it balloons.

I've had my 15* and 19* for three years now, and I'm not looking to change them. I haven't had a problem hooking them, but my usual shot shape is a gentle fade. I replaced the YS-6+ with Purple Ice 75 (S) which helped some distance control issues I was having. I will say that I found they perform best when I take a little divot. They are without a doubt the best feeling fairway woods I've played.

I know its an old thread.....

The 904F is still in my bag. I took last year off of golf and this year I started hooking this club MASSIVELY. It is DGs300 so it inst the shaft. What I did discover was that my hands in my setup was creeping behind the ball. This caused a lot of closed club faces and the 904F REALLY exhibited this. Once I got my hands back to slightly ahead of the ball I started smoking this club again.

I posted in this thread in 2008 and I am still playing the 904f 3 wood. I picked up the 904f 5 wood later in 08 and it is my favorite club in my bag.

Love these clubs!

Just bought a mint 904f 4 wood (17) off ebay for $40. I now have the 3,4, and 5 woods. I've tried other fairway woods but the 904f is by far my favorite.

Seriously, I've had the 3 and 5 since 2006 and tried to replace them for at least five years in a row, partially out of boredom and partially assuming fairways have improved since 2006. I hit these further/better/more pure than anything else. Off the deck, tee, whatever, pure. Phil still carries one, pretty unreal. Dude can have anything and carries a competing company's 8 yr old club, crazy. Guess I need some new head covers, it's going to be a long ride. YS-6 fairway in stiff, no balloning, just rockets.
