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

[JB_007]

For those that had the TS2/3 Fairway woods, how do the new TSi2/3 compare? I thought the TS3 3w was one of the best I've ever used, but I'm always interested at what new products bring to the table.

For those of you that have used the TS2 prior.....I had the driver for a good amount of time but could not get the thing to stop hooking on me and the face always looked closed even with the Surefit settings. I purchased the TSi3 blindly and hoping for the better!

I don't wanna sound like a jerk, but if your hooking the ball with a relatively forgiving/easy to hit driver it is best to address your swing first then blindly buying equipment to fix it. I hit both the TSi2 and TSi3 heads and they both gave me similar results, but preferred the look and shape of the TSi2. The TSi2 IMO doesn't look closed at address and is def. not a "draw biased" head.

Off the deck is all I hit at my fitting.  I ended up with tsi2 but at the lower loft than you would play the tsi3.  For me if comparing the two you need to go with the tsi2 [13.5] to the tsi3 15deg head.  That puts you at level ground for launch and spin.  The tsi3 just went left way too much.  For me and others the tsi3 has more of a shut face look than the tsi2 and I saw that in the performance.  I think theres some YouTube videos that back that up as well...

I was never fitted for the ts3 F but with my tsi3 F I was fitted and was able to get drastically lower spin on the shots and picked up 10 yards

You wouldn’t say the tsi3 has any fade bias?

My shot is always left of center and I was hitting shots center and right of center with my tsi3 fitting

Not a jerk at all! But who wants to work on a swing when you can just "fix" it with a club (joking of course). Appreciate the insight, we'll see if the TSi3 does it for me. Would you say that the TSi3 is more fade biased than the TSi2? Or would that be easily overcompensated using the SureFit neck?

Small sample size for me today.. hit some at the range.  I really like my TS3 13.5 and didn't think it could be beaten.  However.. I was killing my new TSi3 13.5.  Granted.. it was on a range with range balls, but I like what I'm seeing so far.  The new TSi3 seemed to be flying better.. especially into a stiff breeze.  Obviously no scientific data to share but I'm really anxious to get them side by side on the course.

What shaft worked for you and was it the same in each head?

Interesting. I love the look of tsi3 but I’d be afraid of any fade bias having a history as a slicer

Stick with the previous iteration.  The new models both look close and went left on me even when I put in in the flat B1 setting.  I actually ordered another TS2 in 15 degree with slightly heavier stiffer shaft to compete with my TS2 13.5 degree.  Also, the sound and feel felt far better with the last model.  I knew before I even hit I couldn't play it.  Definitely a step backward for me.

I tested both with the same shafts.. the stock tensei raw white 75x.  Also tried a Diamana 80x and Hazardous smoke black.  The TSi3 was better with all shafts but especially with the raw white..

First time I've seen someone say the sound and feel was better with the TS series fairway over the TSi. That isn't the case with the driver by a long shot.

I love my driver and didn't even look at the new Titleist.  I can't comment regarding it.

Forgot to mention weight was in T1 so I'm not sure if that made a big difference for me or not

This just goes to show that everyone should try before they buy because it can give anyone different outcomes. Tsi3 got into my bag really fast.

Ordered TSi3 8 deg and TSi3 15 deg first day of pre-order and was just notified today that my driver shipped but not 3 wood.

Hopefully the 3 wood isn't far behind.  You are going to really like the driver...

So after calling Titleist because my order status had not updated since the fitting on 11/05, they told me the club shipped today, which is great. One thing I did think was a bit annoying is that I asked for them to do the Tensei White in TX, which is listed on the site and even let me know if there's an upcharge option. But they just said they dont have it in TX and its shipped/built with X.

How...

 

I mean its not some mystery shaft, its right here: https://www.mca-golf.com/products/av-raw-white

 

Anyways... Still excited, but now maybe just sprinkling a dusting of annoyed in

This is interesting - I had a call from my pro this morning (significantly after my order) to let me know that the TXs are on back order in the UK and that unless I change shaft choice, I won’t have my sticks until the end of February(!) That said, I’d prefer to wait than have the choice made for me. Three months seems an unfeasibly long delay for a shaft to be made and shipped.

 

my money is on Titleist not planning to put the TX on offer originally and now hoping that a long delay encourages people to change their pick.

I didn’t find it sat closed necessarily, but the 3 was much more prone to left than the 2, for me. 
 

went into the fitting expecting to take the 3, but numbers were undeniable. 2 was much better for me. 3 produced much better results for me on the driver - there’s really no substitute for spending time in trial and error.

I saw that Titleist is now selling the TSI woods on the site directly, pretty good shaft choices but not all of them. I’ve used a couple of sites where it lets me order a whiteboard TX for like 100 bucks extra, anybody know if Titleist actually processes this order? Is this an “off menu” shaft that they will actually carry?

With the TSi3, the shape was the only difference between the two for me. The face felt deeper/taller, which wasn't as friendly for me and my swing.

If you place the order titleist will process it.

Apples to pineapples comparison of TS2 3w to TSi3 5w.  It was a little chilly this morning on the range.  Cold temps and firm ground are a great motivator for finding the center of the clubface.

 

[EddyVN]

Picked the TSi3 up at lunch finally, long wait post fitting!

 

Had time to kill so hit a bucket of balls too, prob 20 or so with it and hit a few switching back to my G400 Max gamer. All I can say is wow

 

The sound is 14 out of 10. Goes like a bome and only missed one left. 

 

Denver (so altitude) but the range has a picker parked at 325 and I was carrying it/hitting it. G400 was landing short and hopping over. I can't wait to get this thing on the course.

[dvyChan1987]

I got mine today which is super exciting and I know people were talking about not getting a wrench. I noticed at the bottom of the packing slip “Add a Wrench?”. Ha

 

Anyways very excited to get this thing on the course and see if it performs as well as the fitting.

Emailed DD's the last two days hoping to get an update on my order from 10/22 and yet to get a reply. A little disappointed in that. Anyone know the policy if you want to cancel the order before it's shipped?

I’m not sure on the cancellation policy, but I also ordered from DD on 10/22 and was given a 11/19 ship date. My club shipped on 11/19.

My new driver with a Ventus black 7x should be here by Tuesday. Can’t wait! I did get an opportunity to hit the tsi2 3 wood and I must say I was a little disappointed, felt let It had no pop off the face

Maybe it’s the angle but new fairways look pretty closed
