Tour Titleist TSi 2 & TSi 3 driver and 3 woods - 2020 Safeway Open

[alpineto]

Talked to my club fitter and swing instructor today through email and he 

said he'd have the new TSI heads by the 15th of this month for fittings looking forward to 

getting fitted for whichever driver suits me better .

Does anyone know if there is a no upcharge counter-balanced shaft option for the drivers? Thanks in advance.

The Fujikura Speeder Pro tour spec 64, 74, and 84 is a CB shaft that has no upcharge.

I've booked my fitting for Oct 29th. It's getting deep into the fall here in Toronto, so I am uncertain whether or not I'll be able to get my session completed outdoors.

I am coming from a 917D3 8.5*..

Can I just say that this is the biggest drawback of living in Canada? We're getting good weather out west, but it's going to turn to shite soon and I want to move to Palm Springs full time.

Agreed. Short season here in Ottawa too. Fall came quickly here it seems.

Ditto here just west of Toronto.  I will likely wait until the spring for any new driver decisions.

The struggles of living in Canada! From the Windsor area, already down to just weekend golf... Titleist always releases when people are storing their clubs for the winter. We’re only 1/10th of the US population, but it still sucks.

I live in the states (Nebraska) and the clubs very rarely make it to November for most here. Your pain is not isolated and you have our sympathy.

If the sound and feel are muted on the tsi3 than the ts3 I’ll order one next week even if I can’t test it. I loved the performance of the ts3 but outdoors it was loud for me. I have a tour ad xc sitting around for it. Not that it matters much but it would be a clean looking combo

[SBH9458]

Got really fortunate and ran into an introduction and fitting session for pros in this area...got to see the TSi3 in hand, listen to the pitch of the Titleist rep...and couldn't convince him to let me give it a run haha.  What I can say is this...I'll be buying a TSi3 ASAP!!! Looks fabulous and I cannot wait to put it in play!!!!

Just back from my fitting.  I was fit into an 8 degree TSI 3, A1 with Graphite Design DI-6S. I picked up 5-7 mph ball speed over my Ping G410 LST (little -) with Ventus Blue 6S. G410 LST...153-155, TSI3...160. 

The driver sounds great!  Should ship about 2 weeks before the launch. 
 

I hit 3 heads and 5 shafts. Started with DI-6S then went to Smoke RDX and Tensei White. I liked the Smoke better than Tensei. I mentioned that I had previously played the GD-ITZ 6S so we popped it in. The ball came out a little flatter but my consistency and ball speed dropped.  Ultimately, I was fit in to the driver that felt the best to me. 
 

I only hit a couple with the TSI 2. I prefer the look and feel of the TSI 3 and spun the 2 too much. 

Honestly I haven’t looked at the stock length for TS3 but the stock for TSI 3 is 45.5. I was actually hitting it really well. My pro hit the 45.5 terrible. Once he moved to the 45 he was good to go. The fitter did give him a 44.5 but that didn’t work either. For reference I’m about 6’3 and he’s about 6’5. He also hated the DI shaft I was fit too. 
 

I’m not in the market for a 3W but they had me take a couple swings with TSI 3 16.5 and it was not a good fit for me. My pro was freaking killing the 3W.

What was the upcharge for the DI?

This thread has stated $200 but some have have said $130 or so. The rep previously said $200 but my pro won’t charge me anymore than what than what Titleist charges him for the upcharge.  Honestly I didn’t ask. 
 

I did get a free TSi hat out of it.

Were you able to hit TSi with Ventus Blue for an apples to apples comparison?

No...unfortunately not. 
 

I’ve played GD DI before and liked it. Truthfully I love the Ventus Blue 7S in my 3W but thought it was just okay in my driver. For whatever reason it doesn’t feel as stable in my driver.

You poor people with your 'golf seasons'. Looking forward to trying the TSi3 driver. Bring it on.

As a fellow Ottawan, I couldn't agree more. The playing season here is brutally, and depressingly, short.

does anyone know what x flex shafts come in the new titleist fairway cart?

[UnderPar18]

Honestly I keep going back and forth. The G410 was a phenomenal driver for me last year and the G425 LST seems like another proven winner. But with Ping releasing in 2021 it’s tempting not to get a TSi3 especially if Titleist fixed the shape and lowered the spin. 
 

I still would like to see what stock shaft offerings there are. I hear GD shafts are $200 which is cool but would make the driver likely too expensive for me all at once.

I am with you, I have a G410 LST that is doing some good things right now.  I would like the G425 LST, but the TSi is calling my name due to these likely inaccurate or unrepeatable gains folks are claiming.  So here is the plan!!!  You buy the TSi3 with a Diamana ZF shaft then use it for a few weeks, decide it performs the exact same as your G410 and regret selling your G410.  You send me your TSi3 with ZF and I send you my G410 plus a little cash.  Then we repeat again with the G425 where you regret selling your TSi3 and want it back so I send it to you for the G425 but this time no cash.  Whatever you decide to do after that is on you because clearly you cannot be satisfied 😆

Do we have a deal?

fix the spin? TS3 was as low spinning as anything I hit on Trackman so not sure what you’re getting at.

Very much so. TS3 is arguably the lowest spin driver I tried 2019-2020

It wasn’t as low spinning as G410 LST or Mav SZ. Numbers were not good at all for me.

Not sure if anyone has said this yet but does anyone know what the stock shaft options are going to be?

Fair enough.

 

Sometimes it’s not the head but the overall weight/face angles in which a club is delivered in terms of path.

 

Mav SZ was a hook machine for me but the regular was just awesome.

 

Never did hit the LST as I just went SIM and now blindly ordering the TSI3 LOL

I am also going to order blindly. I was going to do a fitting at my club but they are already booked up until December. Not to mention, it wouldn't be much of a fit with limited flight range balls.
