Hello birkett7-ga,
A logical place to start is Titleist's own web site (
http://www.titleist.com/ ). If you look at "Golf Clubs", you'll see
information about "Fairway Metals" (
http://www.titleist.com/fairways/default.asp ). There, you can get
information about the 980F and 980F Strong, which will both be
available in June. (I misspoke slightly when I indicated that there
was "currently" the 980F -- I had meant that they were currently
displayed on the Titleist web site.)
"Pro Trajectory 980F Fairways"

"Pro Trajectory 980F Strong Fairways"
Titleist
http://www.titleist.com/fairways/details.asp?ID=3
Incidentally, you had mentioned the 983F. The 983 numbers appear to
be reserved for drivers.

I think that the best single way to find the maximum amount of
information on the 970 and 980 is to search on Google as follows:
"Searched the web for titleist 970"
Google
://www.google.com/search?q=titleist+970&num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&filter=0
"Searched the web for titleist 980"
Google
://www.google.com/search?q=titleist+980&num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&filter=0
"Searched the web for titleist 980f"
Google
://www.google.com/search?q=titleist+980f&num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&filter=0
You had mentioned PT, which stands for "Pro Trajectory". If you are
interested in information about that, you can try these searches:
"Searched the web for titleist pt"
Google
://www.google.com/search?q=titleist+pt&num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&filter=0
Searched the web for titleist "pro trajectory"
Google
://www.google.com/search?q=titleist+%22pro+trajectory%22&num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&filter=0
Note: The foregoing links reflect that I conducted those searches with
the SafeSearch filtering off, and have gone to the end of the initial
search results to click on "repeat the search with the omitted results
included". This way, you can see the most results possible.
You might want to try the same searches on Google Groups (though the
Titleist 980F does not appear yet there) or other search engines, such
as Ixquick ( http://www.ixquick.com/ ) , a metasearch engine.
Some of the results will provide little information, but you'll likely
find some good information mixed in. (As a Researcher, I feel that
often the best strategy is to skim the first 100 or 150 results to
look for pages that seem informative on the topic I want. It takes a
little time, but is usually worthwhile.)
Another research tool is the Google Directory, specifically for the
category of golf:
"Sports > Golf"
Google Directory
http://directory.google.com/Top/Sports/Golf/
The two categories under "Golf" that seem most useful are:
"Sports > Golf > Resources" [includes publications that review golf
equipment]
Google Directory
http://directory.google.com/Top/Sports/Golf/Resources/
"Sports > Golf > News and Media"
Google Directory
http://directory.google.com/Top/Sports/Golf/News_and_Media/
Remember to click on the subcategories within these categories, to
find additional web sites.
I hope that this information is helpful.
