905T IMO is a short ass anyway.

Japan imports i would highly recommend, the Tourstage viq450 or new X drive 435, the srixon w505 (which i currently have), or else the new PRGR! from past experience PRGR are the top of the range, with very high quality and performance.

USA domestic market i would suggest the g5 or the new nike Sq.....

many young guns would love a 105mph swing speed. You're still on the verge of X flex in some shafts..... lol...

if you're looking more distance check your shaft. I've got a G5 with an NV75 in it... i also have an R510TP with a speeder 757 shaft in it.... I hit them both the same distance. Perhaps something with a bit more kick to it would help you.

plus1 any suggestions...

for length the two best shafts ive had were thw W60 Graphite Design and the Axiv. Both ofd these had unreal feel / kick through the impact zone...which i believe contributed to the added yards!

for you i would suggest a w60 stiff tipped half an inch....this will feel to you quite whippy, but it WILL be stable with a 105 ss. the TX flex imo would be too stiff especially if you want more yards.

Also in the axiv i would go for the 6064m.

There is one other option that i would suggest trying, that is the Graphite Design Tour Ad m55. this is the new model, very lightweight which would increase ss and help give you mre from your driver. I am yet to try this shaft, however judging on the previous M series shafts...it should rock!

I am inclined to agree with d**ksy. I don't know your age JET, but swingspeed of 105 should get the ball out there a long way.

I haven't been a fan of Titlesist drivers either.

If you are looking for something really special, I'd look at the new VIQ. The shape of the crown at address is absolutely classic.

So far as shaft selection to get the most out of it, plus 1 and Chris are the gurus.

Thanks !

What about the m65 stiff ?

Rgds, JET (PS. Im still thinking about the MB2's)!

i also have never hit the m65 stiff, however i use the m75 stiff in my 3 wood, which is absolutely awesome. for a 3 wood the 75 is perfect, it feels very lively.....but plays to flex. i find its very easy to cut and draw as well as control the trajectory! - however for me the 75 tends to stay lower and definately doesnt balloon! i assume the 65 will play with the same great feel, but with a slightly higher flight - this woud come from the increased swing speed.
