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

[rymail00]

Is the Even Flow T1100 close to the PX HZRDUS T1100? I'm guessing they are quite different but I haven't hit either.

[A.G. Pennypacker]

How dare you question the most accurate driver in the world! Seriously though, only missing 5 yards off center is pretty straight. In my opinion, if you can do that with one driver...you can do that with any out there as long as it's fit for you. Obviously in this case it wasn't.

 

Haha yeah I suppose I'm in the wrong thread. This thread is only for positive feedback on the revolutionary new Titleist product.

 

 

You must spin it around 3k with your XT. There's no way there is more than a few hundred RPM's difference between the Even Flow and XT. I own and play an XT and while it is a very low spin shaft, I have played other low/low shafts and haven't seen more than a difference of a couple hundred RPM's.

 

Perhaps it's the tipping, perhaps it's the clubhead, perhaps it's both? I don't often spin my XT over 3k unless I hit a pretty big cut. Would be interesting to try my shaft in the TS3 for sure. I'm pretty confident, though, that the TS3 head won't be measurably better than my M1 440. I'm also not about to go buy one with an upgraded shaft to test that though.

 

An additional note, off center hits were ok, but again not any better than my current clubhead. They both go pretty good still.

I play the T1100 HZRDUS and I think it launches lower and is a bit more stiff (in the tip for sure) than the EF White. I also believe the HZRDUS in general suits the more aggressive swinger.

 

That’s just my feedback after gaming the HZRDUS and hitting 15-20 balls with the EF White.

 

I’m guessing TT can weigh in with a more educated summary.

[Konklifer]

I found the EF White 6.0 very stout for this 100 mph moderate to aggressive swinger. I liked the Smoke 6.0 more.

[youngunz5840]

Demoed the ts3 with even flow white 6.5. Swing wasn’t the best the first nine. Distance was good on solid strikes. Biggest issue was the sound. Not an annoying sound but a lot louder than I was expecting. I think I’ll be going with a z795 with tensei orange.

Titleist recommending a +2grm increase CG weight if you order ½" shorter than standard at 45".

Shouldn't that be +6grm increase (½" = 3 SW points, 1 SW = 2grm) ? :stop:

[elwhippy]

Demo day this aft. Not owned a Titleist driver since the LFE so curious to see how these stack up. Every review I have read is massively positive. Particularly distance.

[dchoi87]

I attended a team titleist fitting event in south korea last night at sky72 driving range, a really cool 360 degree driving ramge and practice center. Its supposedly the largest driving range in the world. Titleist has a performance fitting center here, which i have been to before for a full bag fitting. About 20 guests were in my fitting group.

 

We started by watching a promotional video of the new ts driver and fairway lineup and then a member of the marketing team explained the features and took Q&A.

 

I had hit balls for about 30 minutes prior to the fitting event so i was fully warmed up beforehand. We started with my current driver, a callaway xr16 subzero 9.5 set to the open setting with 45 inch tour ad di 6s shaft. I had a few mishits and my left miss was showing. Baseline swing speed was 103 mph with 153 mph ball speed. Launch and spin were about 12 degrees and 2500 respectively. Total distance of 260 yards. I do habe the occassional 280 yarder on the course but i didn't feel like i was getting everything out of my driver. These numbers are from memory as i didnt have the foresight to take numbers down at the time.

 

The fitter asked if i had a preference for head shape and i responded that i preferred the shape of the ts3. We hit a 9.5 ts3 in the asian spec stock tour ad titleist 60 stiff shaft and the speeder 661 stiff ina c1 setting. Right away i noticed a slight increase in clubhead speed to 105 mph in the 45.5 inch shafts but my left miss was still showing and dispersion was similar to my current club. Distance loss on mishits was much less than the callaway. The shafts felt like they kicked more than my current gamer as well.

 

We moved on to the ts2 driver with its reduced bulge and roll. I didnt care for the look of the driver so much but once we got dialed in it was clearly performing better than my current xr16 sz. We settled on the ts2 8.5 degree driver with tour ad gp 6x in 45 inches. My strikes were more consistently on center with the 45 inch shaft but my swing speed jumped to 107.8 mph and ball speed to 160 mph. Tital distance 275 yards with 11 degrees launch and 2100 rpm. The 15 yards by itself is great but the dispersion was even more impressive. The courses here in sk are very tight with out of bounds left and right on pretty much every hole. I want to do some further testing before purchasing but i'm very pleased with the fitting results.

 

We moved on to the fairway wood lineup. The aesthetic difference between the ts3 and ts2 fairway woods is not as pronounced as it is in the drivers but i still preferred the ts3 more classic shape. I started with the ts2 15 degree with stock shaft offerings but ultimately the best fit was the ts3 15 with tour ad tp 7x. I'm generally very satisfied with my callaway x2hot 3 deep with tour ad di 7s but picked up almost 10 yards off the deck with the titleist setup.

 

I need to get a quote on these products but im expecting a hefty pricetag for these shaft upcharges. So far im leaning yes on the driver and maybe later on the 3 wood.

Tried both drivers last night on a Trackman at Golf Galaxy. Just couldn't get the TS3 dialed in with any of the shafts. The TS2 was giving me some nice numbers even with my swing not being up to speed. I was still hitting better with my 915D2 with the Rogue Silver 60x. I may have to go back and try the TS2 with the Rogue but don't know yet. I have really been dialed in with my current driver and the Rogues just flat out feel better then the current stock offerings. I was seeing ball speeds about 2mph more then my 915 but just couldn't get the launch and spin figured out. On a side note, Can we please stop with the oven mitt head covers!! The new Titleist head covers have to be the ugliest looking scrotum sacks I have ever seen. Please bring back the 915 Style headcovers...

[duck hook]

Want to try the 80g Smoke before ordering....is it in the fitting cart?

No

How he didn't catch your jest is bewildering... You even used a smiling emojin... Maybe you need to spell things out for this guy in the future. ?

[MattyO1984]

Please bring back the 915 Style headcovers...

 

Yeah, I really can't understand why we no longer wanted to protect the shaft in the bag?!

[DRRicks]

Titleist’s shaft chart seems to have undergone a “shift”. It seems like everything has moved to lower launch/spin. I’m assuming that Smoke is more middle of the road...is that what you all that have tested are noticing?

[Konklifer]

The stock offerings are definitely low launch for me. I'm a low ball hitter anyway, but on Trackman I was hitting screamers. Going to a demo day Saturday. Will see if real world results are the same.

Haha you guys are hilarious. Of course I got it, my comment about only positive feedback being allowed here was sarcastic :taunt:

Do you have a copy of the shaft chart, I have been looking on both the US and UK site and I can't seem to find anything with the updated options on there.

No CP2 Pro Midsize?

[minteq]

I had a fitting this morning, picked up ball speed, better launch, and lower spin than my 917D3. The TS3 was the clear winner for me. Placed my order shortly after.

 

The TS3 looks fantastic and feels amazing, a real improvement over the 917, and I love that driver. Can’t wait for it to come in.

[Nixhex524]

Got mine today... Will not get to hit it outdoors until tomorrow, but will get to put it to the test for sure this coming weekend as we have a 2 day club tournament. This driver is sharp looking though... Will post back up when I get to actually hit it.

Do you have a connection to get it early or did your pre order already come in?

It was just a pre order.... I went to my local shop the day they got their demos in and ordered that day, which was a little more than a week ago. My buddy that ordered it said he placed it online, but shortly after, only way to order was by phone. IDK... I guess I just got lucky. I will take it!!!

Jelly!

Hopefully the rest of you that ordered will be getting yours soon, too... It was MUCH quicker than I expected so hoping thats a good sign.

I believe it was last Saturday, but not exactly sure... granted I'm not far from Titleist so that probably helps, too

[golfjam]

I got it today, pre ordered on 9/6 at a local golf shop. TS3 w/ PX white.

I was told that the fitters who order via their accounts as well golf shops that order through their account are "processing quickly". I have not heard anything about retail stores. Just the orders that go through the fitters and the local course shop.
