There is little chance there is a huge crowd looking for D4 size and characteristic...

On the podcast released yesterday, the Titleist people said they expect the TS4 to account for 5-10% of their driver sales.

Interesting that they would even bother with a product that they don't expect to sell a ton of. Probably had some push from players on tour, but I still think it's noble of Titleist to build a product without dollar signs being the only motivation.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great they are doing it. It just won't benefit very many people. From an unscientific standpoint, most of the high spin guys I play with have both bad attack angle and clubhead path. It's hard pressed for a less forgiving driver to fix that.

Off topic but it'd be really cool for Titleist to release a 975D retro look with current style head size and tech.

is this finally the one that replaces my 910 D3??? looks great!!!

Just to add to what others have already stated....There is a growing crowd looking for the D4, who LIKELY shouldn't hit it at all because they don't have the swing speed and consistency to make it work. It's still shocking to me how many people claim they're going to buy anything sight unseen without being fit for it.

That looks quite nice, will have to see the numbers on it and how it compares but looks wise one of the best IMO right now.

I'm sure there are a lot of folks here that have built up a collection of shafts and can do a self fitting just fine.

He probably just tested this out but not going in his bag per IG post. Sticking with TS3.

[jshuff]

You have my attention. ?

[victrc]

Well, negative comments aside, I am looking forward to it. I havent found anything in this years offering that gets me under 2500. I know that is becasue of a flaw in my swing, but I like the smaller head drivers and will give this a chance.

I cannot wait for the TS4 to be released! Has anyone here had a chance to hit one yet??

I spoke to my Titleist rep just today. He is expecting pre-ordering to start June 3.

Thanks for the Intel! Can't wait to start hearing some reviews

Best shaped Titleist driver since the late-90s. Looks great!
