I purchased the club only for certain holes on the course I regularly play. After playing with it I found that it not only replaces my 5 iron but my 4 iron as well. Grip down a bit and you have a 6 iron. For those who work the ball you might find it difficult as the flight is true. It’s hard to hook or slice which is great for me and my 12 handicap. The set up feels great, the club handles deep grass and rough very well. I’ve only hit it once out of the sand but I dug into it a little too hard so I can’t elaborate on fairway bunkers. The club will never leave my bag.

and although other clubmakers are experimenting with weight changing and odd shapes Titleist has held true to the classic lines they’ve been known for.

The 975F is a fairway wood that first came out back in the days of the 975D driver, back before gigantic clubfaces were all the rage. The low center of gravity and smaller clubface are not for high handicappers but rather shotmakers who can work the ball to the left and right. The 975F has a shorter shaft than normal 3Ws but this gives more control in my opinion. Combine the shorter shaft with a slightly upright lie angle and this club is great for picking the ball off of tight lies.

This club is great for:

* Working the ball left and right
* Low punch fairway shots
* Low handicappers or middle handicappers looking to elevate their game

This club probably isn’t so great for:

* Teeing up high because of its low profile
* Higher handicappers or beginners who use a 3W because they can’t handle a driver

I have an Elgin K gold antique railroad watch,7 jewel second sweep hand serial number 5013 B.

It has Marlboro and swiss on the face, an Illinois Supreme watch case with the numbers 2105164 and has had two adjustments, also jc1443.
