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

[JStang]

I picked up my TSi3 last night from the pro shop. Once I got home, I checked the specs and it was bang on at 45", D2 swing weight and the head weight is 195g. 

 

I typically play a head closer to 200g but I am going to see how it feels as is before tinkering. It looks perfect at address and can't wait to get out on the range in an hour. I would typically just add some hot melt but if the sound is as good as everyone says, I may just pick up a heavier weight.

Does anyone know anything about availability of +/- replacement weights for the TSi3? I want to increase mine by +4 or +6 grams but I can't find any info on Titleist's website.

Does anyone know when Titleist will start to offer weight kits for TSi2 / 3 drivers? Want to make my TSi2 driver lighter.

They are available through Titleist dealers.  We will have ours in by mid December.

I have 195 also , 313 over all with 60 g shaft

[Bdmac79]

Mine has the +2 weight and weights a touch over 195g.  With an adapter, it is 204.5.  Weighs exactly the same as my prior tour SIM (including adapter) with 5-6g of hotmelt.

Had the chance to demo the drivers tonight.  Wow....really really good.  The TSI3 especially.  The look and sound was fantastic, and I found them to be long and spin right in the right neighborhood (2000 to 2600 at 120 mph club speed).  Man that is going to make for some tough decisions.  

What loft did you test 

[Nixhex524]

Got my TSi2 out today for it's first round... First few holes I used it on were just ok, feel was great but I was pulling them left.  It wasn't until the back 9 where I really started to get the hang of it... on the front 9 I was getting some mid launching  bullets that would run out nicely but I wanted more height. 

 

On the back I decided to let loose a little and tee it up higher and try and attack it from a more upward angle.  This thing came to LIFE!  I am amazed at how easy it is to hit this driver straight and it is about 5-10 yards longer than my previous gamer G400 Max.  Had one or two toe strikes that hooked but didn't kill me and they were still lengthy... So far I am really impressed.  I will get it out Friday and see how consistent todays results were.  Driver has been a thorn in my side this season, I am lucky to hit 5-6 fairways a round, today I hit 10.  

 

Honorable mention to my newly acquired 718 CB.... I always liked the AP2 but preferred the look of the more compact CB.  These are clearly a great blend of both, touting the looks of the CB but all the forgiveness of the AP2.  I had them bent strong to a more modern player CB loft and they are fantastic.  

 

Will report back with more on the driver, but round 1 is a huge success for me.

What color is the +2 weight?  Fitter said he added this to my head but upon receipt of my driver, the weight I have in my TSi2 is the red one and wondering if it got overlooked.

Speaking of SIM, can you compare off center strikes of the two? Flight, distance loss etc......thanks

[drbonesvt]

So I made the leap , 9* tsi3 and a fw 15* (getting the ventus’ installed blk 6x and red 9x ) long long long time TMAG guy 

 

deeper face , feel , sound , and a bit of forgiveness across the face sold it + I feel the lofts on titleist are closer to spec 

 

was debating 8 or 9 , I’m 116-117 driver , + 3 aoa , spun 2400 rpm  , 14* LA , great control , was estimating my ventus blk would knock some off vs getting the 8* & knuckle balls .    Reason for the switch , TMAG is my go to , the 3w will be hard to beat , but I want something that’s going help a little more on off days.   TMAG LM king and maybe king of the drivers , possibly,  longer than this , but I want something that will impact my game +\- couple yards won’t kill me (I think😉)

 Red weight is +2.  I have the red one in my TSi3.

Man.. those will be awesome with the Ventus shafts in them.  I'm really curious to hear how the 9x performs in the 15*.

I think I actually had the most success with the 10* if I recall correctly.  Haven't actually ordered yet, but I'd probably go down to 9* when I actually do.

 

Waiting on the whole TX shaft debacle to get fixed before I make a move...

Nothing to be fixed, they said all along January availability 

[Hstead]

I ordered mine weeks ago and ordered the AV RAW Blue TX at 44.5" knowing it will not ship until after the new year.  I guess mine will be on of the first TX shafts to go out lol.

I know this is sacrilegious, the white avs 65,75 raw x wasn’t bad !!!

Had the read in the sim 3w 9x , stiffer ad di , Ad tp , or a more beefy Rombax P95x 

 

it’s good

Agreed on the shafts.. I have the 75x in my 3 wood and am really surprised how much I like it.

In my limited time with TSi3, off center strikes seem to keep ball speed and distance quite well.  

[jonflesh]

Any lefties get their driver yet?  I preordered the tsi2 on 10/30 and still waiting. Wondering if it’s a lefty thing.

you should be ashamed of yourself...

 

I actually demoed with the 75 x white and really liked it.   I just know the first time I hit a hook on the course I’ll say “wouldn’t have happened with TX.”   
 

It’s very scientific.

Well FedEx made the delivery of my TSi3 quite the adventure. I was at home all day Saturday (which was supposed to be date of delivery). Upon refreshing my tracking around 1:00, it said that my club had been delivered. I knew this not to be the case as I was watching for it most of the morning. I started a claim with FedEx and their "investigation" was a joke. They take no responsibility if their driver effs up, apparently. Fast forward to yesterday afternoon... my elderly neighbor that lives across the 4 lane highway from my house called and said I had a long package on her porch. She hadn't been out of the house much due to COVID and was just now seeing it on her front porch. Luckily she knows me and knew how to reach me, can't imagine if she didn't know me and had to contact FedEx to inform them they delivered someone's package to her house. I had checked my immediate neighbor's next door, but never dreamed they'd mess up bad enough to take it to her house.

 

Titleist had already actually started the replacement process because FedEx determined through their "investigation" that the package had been delivered and that it was up to the shipper to now start the lost package claim procedures. I can't speak highly enough of Titleist' customer service during this. They were building me a new club and about to overnight it when I informed them mine had turned up. Hope to get some golf in this weekend.

How is hitting this thing off the deck (TSi2 mainly)? I'm looking for something a bit easier than my SIM Ti Rocket 3. Will probably be looking into the 16.5 TSi2

This happened to me with usps. I drove around my neighborhood to see a package on a porch, ran up to it to find my name and address I just grabbed it and went back home. not my tsi3 but with some vokey wedges I ordered 2 years ago.

[cota0429]

Had a TPI fitting... Tsi3 with GD-XC 6x @45” in route.  Might be the best driver I’ve ever hit.  And that’s against a 100% optimized SIM

Just a delivery driver not paying attention and put my package on the wrong porch

Had this happen with FedEx recently too. It was a Velocore shaft that was sent overnight ,taken clearly across town and dropped off on someone else's porch. I was home when I got the delivery notification but no goods on the porch. I called and the FedEx rep asked the driver to go get it back. Here's the kicker ,they didn't end up delivering it for the next 2 days , although I had talked to the same person multiple times. I had to end up picking it up because they kept forgetting to put it on the truck. So much for overnight delivery.
