TS2 vs. TSi2

[TiScape]

I’ve been playing a TS2 for about a year. Bit the bullet and bought a TSi2. Lots of range time and actually am liking the results of the TS2 better. Both are set up at 9.75° and .75 upright. Same exact shaft (Tensei AV blue raw) in both and the TS2 is just easier to draw hit straight for me. Love the feel/sound of the TSi. Just tends to want to fade more for me. Not loving having a brand new head and keeping the old one in the bag. But I’ll stick with what produces the best results. Anyone else experiencing this?

I have the Tsi2 and it has the same amount of natural fade as my TS1 did.  Every now and then I can turn it over slightly, the stock fade is in my DNA not the clubhead in my experience.

I was fitted for my TSi2. I don't find it biased at all. I find I can hit it straight and turn it both ways without any trouble.

Always the archer....

Well hitting multiple buckets and alternating between the 2 heads and the TSi2 goes right more often. Im a 10 handicap so my swing doesn’t change that drastically from one head to the other. I’m not an engineer and I’m not saying either head is biased one way or the other. What I do know for a fact is the AV Blue/TS2 combo is easier for me to turn right to left than the AV blue/TSi2 combo. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The archer, not the arrow. 🙂

So my swing is that erratic and it’s just a coincidence more bad swings happen to occur with the TSi2 head after hitting about 300 balls with each??? Hmmm, ok.

You're right. My apolgies.

I haven’t actually checked to specs.  But is the TSi2 a 1/4 or so longer with the same shafts?   If so that could cause a slight difference in squaring the head.

I’m literally taking the same shaft and using it in both heads. So they are the same length. I’m guessing the spin rates/specs of the heads are different enough that the TS2 combo just somehow works better for my swing. Also, both drivers are at 9.75° loft, .75° upright and the TSi2 has a lower ball flight than the TS2.

Yes. The TSi line has lower spin across the lineup than TS line. 
 

Perhaps there was a bit different head weight placement in the two.

Makes sense. There is def a difference. Of course I wanted to like the new head better. I just can’t ignore that I just get a better result with and have more confidence in the older head.

I’ll buy the slice machine from you 🙂

Haha! Well it’s hardly a slice machine. I just have to be more mindful to draw it if that makes sense. The TS2 is just more automatic for me. For now I’m gonna try trading it for a TSi3 head. If that doesn’t pan out I will sell it.

Would be interesting to know if the static weight of the heads may be a tad different, which might explain why you find one easier to square up just a touch better with the same shaft.

Absolutely. I was wondering the same thing.

If you still have both heads, flatten the lie of the TSi2 by .75° and see what happens.
