New Titleist TS drivers

[GolfChannel]

Hit the TS2 and had great numbers compared to my 917. Really want to try the F9 and see how that stacks up before I put an order in.

For me the TS2 was in the running for a while against the 190 and F9. I ended up going with the F9 just due to dispersion and ball speed consistency on mishits.

I keep seeing the F9 getting great ball speed numbers in all the reviews. How much difference did you see between the TS2 and F9?

 

For my swing, it was typically between 4-5 mph from centered to mishits. The carry distance was still relatively close, but that's when dispersion kicked in as the deciding factor. You can't go wrong with basically anything out there right now.

Curious if any one tried either TS w/ a Fugikuro shaft?

[HaggisPXG]

Tomorrow is Titleist Thursday - get in!!

[Whiskey_fire]

Anyone wondering how the TS3 stacks against the F9 when both are properly fitted and tested at the same time should watch TXG video from today. Spoiler* they both were within a half of mph ball speed

[Dysfunkshun]

I have a Fujikura Atmos Black TS 7S and my buddy has the Atmos Patriot 7S. We're both pretty happy with em, although I just tried a Graphite Designs MAD 75 and might be sticking with that for a little bit.

Ive been gaming the TS3 for about a month now. I absolutely love it. For me, it produces high launching knuckleballs. It is also very forgiving.

[shaolingolfer]

Anyone have any experience with the Japanese TS3 offering with the Tour AD VR shaft. It looks gorgeous.

I've tested both fairly extensively and the difference was negligible...I really liked the cobra which was a surprise to me, found the head weight slightly heavier, looks pretty good and it produced a higher launch and it had the highest ball speed of the two...but like I said it was very minimal (less than 1 mph overall).

I ended up going with the TS3, the weight, the look, the sound, it checked every box for me, and the performance was great. The adjustability on the TS3 is a huge benefit for better players looking to dial in there ball flight...for me my miss is closer to the heel, with the adjustable CG you can put more weight behind the heal which especially moves the sweet spot...I'm likely paraphrasing the actual effect but you can get the jyst. My dispersion and consistency with this club is the best its been in years...going from Titleist 913 (which I loved), to the Epic (short stint), to a Tour Issue M1 (which was better than the ladder) and finally back to Titleist TS3...couldn't be happier!

Thanks, I'm using the AD TP in 6S right now and may switch out to Evo 757., Over last 5 years it's either AD or Fugi and I like both but Fugi's prove to be more compatible to my swing. The TS3 has caught my eye and my Mizuno MP is great but the AD in a 7 series might have been a better choice for that. So I may hoe a TS3 and re-shaft the MP.

TS3 on the way to battle it out with my F9. Been wanting to try them since they came out last year. Such a good release from Titleist after a couple cycles of lackluster drivers.

 

Has anyone tried the cylinder weights from eBay? Some of the same sellers that I get adapters from have the weights for much better prices than the “real” ones, just wondering if it’s really worth tinkering.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts, keep us posted

I was trying to find real ones locally and could not. Is this another Titleist aspect you have to get them directly from Titleist?

Can anyone comment about the stock Tensei in this head? I hit a number of shaft offerings in the simulator yesterday and got really good numbers with this shaft. On paper, it wouldn’t seem to be a good fit for me, but it had the best ball speed, spin, and carry numbers of the shafts I hit (basically all of the stock offerings in stiff and extra stiff). for the sake of context, I use KBS Tour 130x in the irons and wedges, but the Tensei shaft in stiff flex was really good for me on the launch monitor. I won’t have an opportunity to hit the club outside.

 

I am using a Ping Tour 65 stiff in my current driver with great success. Thinking of picking up a TS3/Tensei. Any reason to be concerned with the shaft?

[aquapig]

I was fit by Titleist a for TS3 with a Tensi Blue Stiff. I used it for about 6 rounds before I had it stolen from me. I absolutely loved it.

 

I went to Play it Again Sports the other day and found an old 905t for 29.99. Has a nice speeder Fuji stuff shaft. Took it out today for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. Hit some very long drives, comparable to the distance I was getting out of my TS3, but my misses were more punishing. Still a heck of a find for 29.99.

 

I think I’ll use it until I find a good deal on another TS3.

I have the Tensi Blue but in 65 gram not the 55 one on the shelf. WORKS GREAT. I tried it vs the PRO BLUE and nothing in difference. You can order the 65 Blue Tensi (non pro) with no upcharge. 65X is what I got.

Went back to PGA SS to do a second driver fitting, swing was better and hitting a little push draw.

Testing the F9, M5, Ping LST, TS2, and TS3.

 

With my swing being more consistent, TS 2 10.5 head with Tensei Blue AV is the winner, it is more forgiving than TS3 and also the TS drivers are more consistent and spin less than F9, really want the F9 but in the end the TS2 looks better, spin less, more consistent and the ball speed is right there with the F9.

 

Ended up ordering the "tour length" 44.5 TS2 driver, titleist is going to put custom weight to the head and make it play at D2. :taunt:

Hi, I'm in the market for a new driver. I'm hearing good things about the new TS2&3

Currently using a 915D3 with a custom shaft and I have a couple of questions.

 

Is it reasonable to reuse my old shaft in the new driver? Does anyone know if the head weight is the same from 915D3 -> TS2 or 3?

My goal would be to have a similar feeling club (I like my existing setup) and get the benefits of the new club head.

I'm thinking if the head weight is the same, the club should feel and swing similarly.

[aquapig]

I can tell you that I was fitted for a TS3 and then had it stolen. Pick up a 915 really cheap and used it for a short period before I started looking for another TS3. The feel of the TS3 compared to the 915 is night and day different. The sound of the TS3 is waaaay better than the 915. And most importantly the consistency of the TS3 is much much better.

I think the TS head will be lighter than the 915 D3.

Sorry about your club getting stolen, makes me angry just hearing about stuff like this. Anyways, did your replacement 915 have a similar shaft? In my opinion that can make as much or more different in club feel and performance.

Although reading through this thread kind of feels like getting custom fitted is the best option. I'm just not too keen on getting fitted to a shaft that could double the cost of the golf club while I'm quite happy with my current shaft.

Yeah that's what I'm worried about. I used the same shaft in the 913 and 915 and the feel was very similar. Tried it in a friends 917 and quite frankly it was not a good experience. Probably a custom fitting is the best option.

[shaolingolfer]

I will suggest to pick the head first, then fine tune with the shaft.

With all these clubs being stolen, is it time to put generic head covers on like we did back in the day when SC putters went missing?! Sad days we live in when we can't trust our fellow man!? :to_become_senile:

[aquapig]

When your entire bag is stolen, it really doesn’t matter what head cover you have.

If you play much public golf generic head covers are a very good idea. No reason to advertise to the thieves.

[t4t3r]

I use older model covers that I’ve held onto after trade-ins to throw on new sticks, especially drivers. I’ve got a stash of R1, 910, i25, etc..

 

[JoeJoeJoeUrBoat]

TS2 has been in the bag since the end of last season... Don't see anything kicking it out. Typically Taylormade or Callaway will have a driver out there that you're giving up 5-10 yards if you go Titleist... But not this year. The TS drivers are right up there with the big boys! They haven't sacrificed any of the feel or looks to attain this either.

[agood3putt]

Curious everyone's thoughts on the unicorn setting for the TS2 hosel settings. I know it is relative to swing, shaft, etc. But want to try out different settings and I am all ears....Have had success with the C4 and A2 settings. A2 produced a nice baby draw and the C4 was a high cut.

[Bobb3rdown]

Just got a new tow to play with. Old head weight was 193grams. Stock weight was 12 grams. Swapped out with the 18gr neutral weight from my 917d2 and put the diamana on it. Will play it this weekend without any practice time. I'll put the evenflow in when I cut it down to play at 44 3/4". Also picked up the head cover on Ebay. They look awsome.

[Charlie11]

Does anyone play their TS at 44” or 43.50”? Added much weight to head?
