No....But I can say the TSi2 with Ventus Red 8X is the dogs balls.

Jason, it really is! I feel like it's hotter off the face - only one round in, and I was hitting it places I've never hit it on a course I've played a good bit. I'm really glad I got the 10* TSi3 - I wouldn't be able to spin the 9* enough, and I didn't get the lowest-spinning shaft in the AV Raw Blue (albeit lower spinning in the TX). The sound and feel is otherworldly in this thing.

Absolutely.  The interesting thing to me is how much better the TSi3 sounds compared to the TSi2.  The Ventus Blue - TSi2 8* head combo is bananas though...  Are you a pretty low spin guy? I’m generally fairly mid spin and I have no problem with my 9* head.

With the driver, I'm on the lower spin side and have a +3 attack angle. Last I checked I spun my 917D2/X-Torsion at about 2100, and I didn't want to be any lower than that with this head hence the 10* and AV Raw Blue. The TSi3 is pretty low spinning, and if I needed to I could pop the X-Torsion in there or crank it down to 9.25. I'm really glad I chose the 3 then! I was really drawn by the weight track in the back, and with it in T1 I have little fear of hooks which is amazing.

Anyone able to compare a Ventus 8x in the TSi3 fairway vs the Tensei White AV 75x that came with it?  

Have red vent 9x in tsi3 , 😍😍😍. Tipped 2” low launch low spin monster , think solid P95x rombax 

[Rpete33]

I have a Ventus black 10x in a tsi2 5 wood and a Ventus black 9x in a tsi3 wood, for me the Ventus feels more stable but only slightly, I have the AV raw proto 2.0 in my driver currently, handle in the Ventus is def stiffer, but feel overall is pretty similar to me

Anyone have any suggestions for trying to straighten out a hook with the TSi3 driver? Working through some swing changes now to fix it and my irons are taking well to the changes but driver still having big left misses. Trackman shows me doing well with swing plane at 3-4 deg right but still closing the club face way too much on my misses. 

 

Right now on A1 with the slider at T1. Should I try T2 and a more open face? Seems that's the suggestion but won't more weight in the toe close the face faster? 

 

I'm committed to the process of building my swing right now but yesterday was almost no fun as I found like 3 fairways all day. When I do get the right swing on this driver I love it so still very excited to have it in the bag. 

I went to the B1 setting for a flatter lie angle and moved the weight to T2.  Baby fades all day.

Who has compared the RDX Black to any of the Graphite Design options. Looking specifically at the XC. Trying to maintain same launch as the RDX but lower spin. According to the Titleist chart it looks like at the GD options launch higher than the RDX but spin lower.

I can’t tell you how much the added weight chills out my tempo

Why TSI3 in the 3 wood and TSi2 in the 5 wood?

Simply wanted higher launch off my 5 wood as I use it off the fairway

Did you test both in the 3 wood? Did you see much of a difference?

[Rpete33]

Yes for me there was lower spin and launch in the tsi3 3 wood

First round with my TSi3 driver and fairway. First drive hit well right down the middle but was so thrown off on how different it felt and sounded compared to TS. Two totally different drivers I feel it should have it's own new name. Hit the driver well it's just a much different feel and sound than I was expecting after playing TS for over a year. Loved the sound of the fairway. Driver looks amazing from address much better than TS.

[jph4387]

Sorry if this has been said already.  In a 9.5* TS3 now.  Should I loft down to the 9* TSi3 or up to the 10*?

[wam78]

Currently bagging the tsi3 after playing the ts3 for 1.5 seasons.  I agree it’s a different driver.  It’s taking me a while to dial it in as much as I had the ts3 dialed.  I think the ts3 was a sneaky long driver.  

My miss is a high toe and the ts line did amazingly well with it.  I feel like the tsi is not quite as forgiving on the high toe as much as ts.  Probably has a lot to do with the new shape, which I absolutely love.

 

Also, I have a different shaft on this tsi.  Not sure if it’s the right fit for me or not yet.  I’ve had such a good run with my old Fuji Motore speeder that I’m seriously considering trying to find another one.

 

For those of you that have moved from ts3 fairway to the tsi fairways, are you noticing any huge differences?  The ts3 15* fairway is so damn good, but I’m curious about moving into the tsi line.

Had my first couple rounds w/ my TSi3 3 wood in the bag, and boy am I impressed. I went TSi3 because I wanted a lower trajectory tee club, and the adjustability was an added bonus. It's for sure a rocket launcher off the tee but I also hit it into two par 5's today, on in two both times, could easily shaped a high fade with it too. So so good.

9* if you like the flight you are getting from your 9.5. MGS article from last fall says this:

I am not feeling the autoflex combo right now and I have been demo'ing the TSi3 from my club. I am close to buying one with the Tour AD-DI replacing the expensive #$@ experiment...

[dwboston]

Used my TSi3 on the course for the first time this weekend.  2 rounds, hit 22/26 fairways with it, and it's noticeably longer than my 915 D2 (with the same shaft - GD AD BB 6S).  It's a keeper.

[bjp1]

Moved from TS2 9.5* to TSi3 9* after a driver fitting pointing to needing lower loft, lower spin combo to better fit my swing.  I’m seeing results on course, missing only 2 fairways in 2 rounds and adding 9 yards carry.  Rain has killed roll, so it’s possible I’m a little longer still.  Love the look, shape and sound of the TSi3 the most.

[manima1]

I've played 3 rounds with my TSi3 9 degree head with the AV Raw White 2.0 65TX.  The term rocket launcher is way overused but I feel like that's exactly what this thing is.  The trajectory is much lower than I'm used to coming from an M5, but that is not a bad thing.  I would describe the ball flight as powerful.  Definitely apexes below 100' but in the windy midwest, I actually prefer this slight to the moon balls the M5 would often produce.

 

I had one over 300 that probably only carried 250 - I'm getting rollout that was formerly non-existent - and this was on a soggy/wet course!  This thing has been a lot of fun so far - and surprisingly forgiving on misshits.

[t4t3r]

Ordered a TSi3 over the weekend with the Raw White 2.0 65TX. Looking forward to a nice change from my SIM that has kind of left me at the moment.

[High Draws Low Fades]

Got the tsi3 in 9 degrees with the tensei raw white 65 last week. First titleist driver I’ve ever played! I’m not sure if the shaft or weight are just a great fit but I don’t usually see the face looking like this.

You might need to change your user name to “straight shots” now... 😝

The reductive answer is that I didn’t have to worry about spin with the GD offerings. Whether you do depends on your delivery and particularly with GD your tempo and transition. 
 

I tried all of the “featured” offerings bar KK. 
 

for me, the RDX performed well as anything, but it felt very one-piece, which I then jump at. 
 

I expected the XC to be the fit for me from the GD line but it felt it somewhat similar to the RDX and I hit a few wides with it. 
 

I ended up with the DI, which I really didn’t expect. It certainly launches higher than I’m used to, but spin rarely over 2400 in a 9 degree head set to B1.

 

I went to the fit expecting to be put in the DI for a 3 wood, but that one went IZ, which I timed a little better than anything else. 

 

For me, it shows the value of putting your delivery and the shaft into battle. I’m long done using a spec sheet to fit myself.

I’m a big fan of it. 
 

this bendy long shaft thing will be a passing fad. It’s nigh on impossible to button it above 45” with any consistency for people who don’t play every day. 
 

strike still returns more ball speed than head speed.

Me!  I played hzrdus smoke black in TS line.  Tried the rdx in the tsi, but didn't care for it.  It was softer and more loose than previous line.  I love the XC.  Smooth feel with stable feel through impact.  I also like the AV raw white if you need a good stock low spin option...it's a better stock shaft then the rdx, imo.

Same here - did an outdoor fitting with Hotstix a few months back and really liked the TSi3 head previously which I had tried a few times at my local club (can't remember which shaft but I know it wasn't the DI).  I tried a few different shafts - Tensei Pro White & Orange, Accra TZ6 & RGP, a Fuji I can't remember, the GD AD-XC and DI.  I had the best numbers and consistency with the DI which I wouldn't have chosen based on the specs (my SS is around 113mph).  Once again I'm a believer in a good fitter and proper shootout with different options to find what works.  Currently playing the TSi3 9* at the A1 setting and 46", DI-6x tipped 1".
