Titleist 975D driver (7.5-degree)

“We started by rebuilding Tiger’s legendary 975D exactly as he played it: 7.5 degrees, 43.5 inches and a True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shaft – a setup that looks prehistoric now but powered perhaps the greatest golf ever played.”

“Woods switched to the 975D in ’97 and won five majors with it before putting a Nike driver in play in 2002 which he used to win the Masters and US Open that year. He returned briefly to the 975D in 2003.”

“I had a 137-gram shaft in a very small Titleist 975d head at 43.5 inches, and now we're at 45 inches and 460cc heads with a shaft that weighs nearly half as much as what I used originally.”

“The final build was a Titleist 975D 7.5-degree head with a 43.5″ Dynamic Gold X100 steel shaft, but how Bobka and Woods landed on the specific head and shaft took some time.”

“I bought a Titleist 975D driver, a PT 15 fairway wood and some really old Maxfli Australian Blade irons to knock around at Sawgrass.”

“I [used to play] a 137-gram shaft with a small 975D head at 43.5 inches.”

“Back in 2003 at the Buick Open he went back to his old Titleist 975D driver and also used a TaylorMade driver at an event in Germany that August before putting Nike’s Ignite driver (remember that one?) in the bag.”
