Titleist's new TS 2 & TS 3 driver - shot @ 2018 US Open

[bkirkley09]

Man i honestly am pumped for this release. I will be ditching the Rogue for these as I just do not love the rogue. It is a great driver but I never felt that connection. Im already undressing these woods from across the room and about to make my move.

Me too. I’ve always played whatever I could get a good deal on at the time, however, I’ve got a lot of store credit built up from old clubs. I’ve made up my mind that this time I’m getting whatever I like best even if it isn’t the best bang for the buck. TS is at the very top of my “to try” list.

Everyone just needs to relax! They will be available here in a couple months. Then we will all be able to move on to complaining about the wait for the new iron lines coming out next fall.

 

I need to double check but I think the embargo date is 30 days out, or less. And don’t worry about waiting for new irons from Titleist. They will have two new sets coming out this Fall.

Is that in addition to the current lineup? Are they still releasing irons next fall as well as part of their current 2 year cycle?

[HuskerDevil_1]

Any update on release date?

I think he’s referring to the “C18” and Concept Irons.

I think we call agree that all Titleist needs to do is update the 910 and add a solid real deal shaft lineup and we'd all be throwing money at them as fast as we could whip out our credit cards. Amirite???

either way, 910 update or not, shaft options or not, we'll still be whipping out our credit cards lol

You sir are quite right. Man I just need some TS in my life.

How many drivers will be launched from other OEMs before we get details on the TS? Lol

 

If these are lower spin heads I’m not overly excited since I enjoy sucking back my current Titleist driver on driveable par 4 greens.

and which model would that be? Haven't seen anything new since the M3/ M4 which was released prior to the TS tour seeding.

The only thing that is bothering me at this point is the lack of clarity on the differences between the 2 and 3, i.e. which is the iteration of the prior D2 and which is the D3. I can't tell from the photos, nor is is the usage currently on tour by the main guys giving any clear indication. I have a feeling that the TS2 is the lower spinning...but I don't think there is a consensus on it yet.

Gloire line have been in Japan market since the SLDR days as a lighter weight driver.

I believe that's just the update on that line for Japan market only.

 

I heard TM didn't have any market on female golfers in Japan because of its heavier weight compared to some of the Japanese brand offerings, so this was their answer. Of course, it was marketed at a premium price well over the regular TM line.

TS3 = D3

TS2 = D2

 

Michael Kim won with the TS2 and said he chose that model because the TS3 was too low spinning for him.

I know he said that. JT - playing the TS3 - mentioned that it spun a bit more. It's not conclusive. Small sample:

 

Hoffman, Walker, Poulter and JT are all playing TS3. They all had been using the 917D2. Rafa is in the TS3, and had been in a 913D3.

 

Hadley and Cameron Smith are playing the TS2. Both had been using the 917D3.

 

I can certainly appreciate the need to dial in several details regarding spin, launch, looks, and feel. It just doesn't seem to be clear-cut as it has in the past with the D2/D3 distinction...until we get the release info from Titleist.

Good point. The TS2 is longer at the back which is similar to the D2 and the TS3 looks deeper and more compact which is in line with the D3. Plus it would seem ridiculous to keep the same numbers yet flip the playing characteristics. Who knows though. It will be nice when we finally get the info. You have to think it will be soon if the rumoured early September release or preorder is true.

Are you serious, or is this satirical? I play the 917 D2 9.5* and definitely don't spin anything back, and the 917D3 8.5* probably spins 500 less RPM than mine does.

Adam Scott is another who is using a TS3, but had used a 917D2 for the most part (aside from dabbling with his 910D3).

I posted most of the TS details previously in this thread. If there is anything in particular you need to know, I’ll be happy to help.

he's the one who spins back his putts too. I call him spinner.

TS2 is the forgiving-bomber head and the TS3 is highly adjustable head. The differences between the two TS heads are more comparable to the M4/M3 rather than the 917 D2/D3.

Do you know if the TS2 and TS3 will be offered at different price points?

[Chowdah86]

Ill bet they perform just like a driver. They probably look and feel like a damn driver too.

 

 

 

Or maybe these will be different! Maybe after just one over the top swipe we will toss all of last year's $500 drivers into a massive pile and burn them in a glorious blaze like they were useless old alien wedges and ladies war birds from the 90s! We'll dance around the burning ball of titanium, graphite and melting composite crowns like dosed out bay area techies in the black rock desert and the blaze will be so bright that it will be seen from space! And an angel will come down from the heavens and try one out in a golfsmith hitting bay and after blazing a fiery hole through the projection screen with perfect numbers, we will all join in harmonious chorus, singing HARK! WE HAVE FOUND THE GREATEST DRIVER!! THE DRIVER THAT SLAYS ALL DRIVERS!!! And then w'ell all join the tour. Every last one of us. It will be a big tour. And there will be 500 wrxers who will battle it out in extra hole playoffs that last last for weeks on end. Everyone will get a green jacket!! ASAGASFASDFASDFSA@#!#$!@$!@$@!#$@#!$@$#$TQRAFSDFDF

Sorry, I dont know what came over me.

 

 

I do actually hope its lower spin than what they have been putting out. Ill probably end up getting one..

Definitely a joke. The 8.5 D3 paired with the Tensei Pro Orange is a 2000 - 2400 rpm lazer.

Adam has played the D3 model for the most part since 2010, only switching to the D2 in 2016.
