Titleist PGA Staff fitting day today for East Tennessee... picked up on average 4 mph faster ball speed (now 166-168 on Trackman) and 10-12 yards carry. The majority of players all gravitated towards the TS3 driver and the fairway was split 50/50 between the two models. The TS3, which I was fitted for, has a great traditional look and AMAZING sound. Yes, I capitalized AMAZING for a reason :) This driver on average also spun 500 rpms less than my 917 D2. I did loft up to 9.5º from my 917 D2 setting of 8.75º and it still didn't spin above 2200-2300. Never before have I ever been able to increase launch using the loft of the driver because increase dynamic spin spin rates until the TS driver... now with 500 rpm less spin I can tinker with additional loft in the attempt to increase launch without increasing spin!

Fitters ready to go September 1 or earlier. I believe in-hand last week of September? Its funny to see how many GolfWRXr's are complaining about such a late release... this release for the TS line is about as early as I can remember. Usually it's a late October or November 1st release.

Yeah, I am with you on that. Hoping that they will be out at the same time here in the UK as the US.

I heard last week while in California that Titleist will debut the TS drivers on or about Sept 6th at Titleist Thursdays across select markets in the US. https://www.titleist.com/fitting/golf-club-fitting/thursdays

I just did a test on my ts3 today...same shaft vs my 917D3 which is an elements gold 6F4 which is 44.5”. I picked up 9 yards of carry with TS3 vs my gamer...actually was fitted for the new Hzrdus Smoke shaft gains were even more but it is a 45.5” shaft although an inch longer it was more accurate than my gamer...haven’t been able to get either combo on course yet....but...all I can say is wow.....nothing I don’t like about this driver, I usually find something I don’t like about new clubs, but this one looks great, love the direction of the alignment aid, love the color, sound, feel and most importantly it’s longer and straighter....win-win..I am usually one that doesn’t pick up any yardage with new drivers...normal numbers are around 14.5 launch at 2200 ish spin with most drivers on the market so it’s usually hard for me to see a difference...only other club that I had this much increase is when I hit epic for the first time...IMO Titleist fans will love this club

[MrShield]

Anyone knowing the distribution between TS2 and TS3 at Wyndham?

[nbigg]

Anyone from Canada have details on release date here? Is it the same as US or is it later? Thanks

[tleader]

Release dates have typically followed US in the past, no confirmation of this time yet.

Regional fitters starting Sept 1.

Dang, I am super stoked for this release.... Just picked up a 913 D3 and am having great results with it, but would love to have something similar and pick up a few....

[Big Ben]

I'm stoked about this lineup. Already getting anal and tinkering in anticipation of this release.

I tried, but I have no idea what to make of the last 10 words. I'm glad you are stoked.

I need an adult....

[Big Ben]

Alright guys I hear ya man think you know what I mean ? I'm building a few shaft setups, you know golf?

[jjrussell12]

Sorry if this was already covered, but do we know what the standard shaft offerings are going to be?

[jlebeane13]

Theres been a lot of different shafts listed over the last two three pages.

The two main are the evenflow white and the HZRDUS smoke. Along with some Tensei options.

[golfyoda]

I picked up 5 mph in ball speed and 15 yards in length. I hit the Tensi Blue, Evenflow White, and Smoke. I'll be picking up a TS3 with a Hzrdus Smoke... :)

I'm seeing lots of positive gains from the TS line. What was your baseline driver and shaft?

[SikhGolfer]

This is tempting... very tempting...

 

For those who have hit it, how would you compare the forgiveness to a G400?

[golfyoda]

My original was the 917D3 with the Rogue Max, same length, 45.5"...:)

[JoeJoeJoeUrBoat]

Sold my M3 pending payment this morning... Which means I can't possibly game my M3 woods anymore so those will have to hit BTS, my OCD won't allow it... What a great time for me to be in the market for a new set of woods. ;)

[cma8516]

im afraid im going to have an m3 and rogue sz hitting the BST as soon as these get released lol -- dont know if the fairways will kick out the m2 3w though

[Matt97GT]

for everyone quoting they picked up ballspeed and carry, can you also please state if you were fitted from 915 to 917 as well?

 

i'm always skeptical of the new model adding significant gains over the previous model.

See #752 for an example

Did anyone else from the Toronto area get the email about the TS launch at the Titleist Fitting Centre on Saturday?
