Of all the ridiculous words that are filtered out here, "Titleist" isn't one of them? Hah!

> I can go at my TS2 as fast as possible without having to worry to much about spraying one either direction. Best and easiest to hit, for me, since Callaway xr16. And I’ve tried most of them. The confidence in being able to really get after it is what gives me the extra distance.

 

Been spending a lot of time with these drivers and up to now I strongly preferred the look of the TS3. However, for whatever reason, the TS2 didn't look too bad to me yesterday and I definitely find it more forgiving. I think what you said is pretty spot on....it gives you the confidence to swing away and not worry about tiny misses.

I am a 12 HC and currently game the TS3 in 8.5 with hzrdus smoke 70 stiff cut down 1" and with the 9gram weight in the head to get the proper swing weight I wanted. I love my TS3 driver. Great feel and ball speed with easy distance. I was hitting a Cobra F9 prior and didnt think i would ever replace her until I hit my buddy's TS3 for a few holes. The baby draw she delivers is pure joy. Not the most forgiving driver, but forgiving enough for a mid HC like me. Great club. Never tried the TS2, but heard good things there too,

I have played the TS2 since it came out and was a long time 915 D2 player. I always played the Rogue Silver 125 MSI TX shaft and have had alot of success with it. My miss has always been a snap hook which is user error. I have 1 or 2 holes per round where this creeps in and it costs me 3-4 strokes. I just recently purchased a TS3 9.5 to try and knock the spin down just a bit more and was fully planning on keeping the Rogue shaft. My new TS3 came in and I figured I would try it out first with the Hzrdous Smoke 6.0 60g shaft in it before I swapped it out and was floored at the performance of the combo. I spent a few hours on the launch monitor with both clubs and swapping shafts and the TS3 with the Smoke was longer, straighter for me. Consistent 108 mph club head speed vs 105 with the TS2 and Rogue. With the Rogue in the TS3 head the club head speeds were similar but the ball exit speeds were 5-8 mph more with the Smoke. Using impact tape my miss has always been heal side on the TS2 and the same swing with the TS3 puts the impact dead center which of course leads to higher smash factors and gains in ball speed. The TS3 also seems to have a tighter dispersion for me over the TS2. Either way they are both great clubs and you going to have to spend some time on the launch monitor to see what works. If you go for a indoor fitting, make sure you bring your golf ball you play with on the course so you can fine tune it.

I went on a long journey from 915 d2 which I loved and none of my other drivers until ts2 could compete with. I tried m1 2017, 917 d2, Ping G400 lst and M5 before going back to a titleist TS2 with the same shaft as my 915 d2 the 125 70TX shaft. This just works for me and I have mine in flat setting and have all my driver confidence back that I lost with the other set ups. Ts2 is a game changer for me.

i was gaming the 915 D2. Decided it was time to upgrade. after reading/watching all the reviews, and with my priorities in hand (forgiveness, forgiveness, and forgiveness), my short list was G410 plus, Cobra F9, and TS2.

I demoed all three (before all this craziness). i wanted to like the G410 plus b/c all the reviews said it was straighter/more forgiving than anything else. F9 got the early boot b/c it was shorter than the other two.

G410 plus and TS2...i got the same results with both. tie went to the sound/feel (G410 felt like a dud compared to TS2), so I went with TS2.

been bombing it ever since. i also wanted to try the ad di...and eventually found one on the bay. for my swing, TS2 + AD DI feels better and faster than my old aldila rogue silver. need to get in the fitting bay to confirm the numbers though.

 

based on the other posts here, seems like 915 D2 to TS2 is a popular upgrade!

Had the TS3 when it first came out with the EF white.... It was not the shaft for me, recently acquired another TS3 head in 10.5 and plugged it into my HZRDUS yellow, I think I may have found the right driver for me after a merry go round of trials. This thing is an absolute bomber and has extreme forgiveness.... Looking forward to putting this thing through the paces in the upcoming rounds....

First round with the TS2.

WOW.

Alot better than my beloved 905r, totally shocked.

It hits "piercing pills", wants to fly straight and is very forgiving. My weak slice turned into a power fade, balls that used to fly into the woods off to the right now ended up on the right side of the fairway.

While I didn't hit any 340yd bombs with it, I hit a lot more fairways than usual, which is really what I wanted.

Solid club.
