Tsi hybrids

[TimBuma]

Just watched TXGs video on these hybrids and really intrigued by them. Has anyone hit them or seen them in person? Thoughts?

[jmevox]

I ordered mine weeks ago. Still waiting for it. 21 degree tsi2. Will take pics of it if it ever gets here

[IPA4Me]

Hoping to hit them soon.  I have a TS2 and love it.  If the TSi2 is even better, I'm all for it.

I can’t tell a difference between the two #2 versions

Did anyone get one yet?  I'm still waiting for mine to be shipped.

Did the titleist pinehurst 2 weeks ago and used the $200 promotion on a tsi2/3 hybrid fitting.

 

I currently use a 17° 816h1 hybrid.

 

The performance of the tsi2 and tsi3 were very similar - distance, height, descent angle seemed very close. The fitter was talking about how the tsi3 does a better job with height/spin than the ts3, but that may be a salesperson talking.

 

I ended up going with the 18 tsi3. My miss is off the toe and being able to move the weight to the toe seems like it helped.

 

Is it better than the 816... Who knows. The 816 has been very dependable for me, so the tsi3 might end up on the bst here soon.

 

I am still waiting for it to be shipped to me.

I hit the TSI2 and the TS2
TS2 was way better for me in terms of sound/feel. TS2 was more clear, higher pitch, just felt good in the hands. TSI2 was more thud and deeper. 

[jmevox]

That’s interesting. They just told me my tsi2 ships in next 1-2 business days so ill give a review next week. I know my tsi2 3 wood took me a few weeks to get comfortable with and now im bombing the ball so we will see.

Not sure about their rationale for changing the loft of "2" line. If tsi2 gears toward more average golfers, those golfers now tend to use strong lofted irons. So for t200 iron players, both 5 iron and 4 hybrid are 24... even with the surefit hosel, the loft difference would be only 1 at best... I know 4 hybrid would go longer then same lofted 5 iron due to the shaft length, but I am still baffled. One may go with tsi1 but that's a different story as it is for golfers who want ultralight clubs...

Not sure I understand the concern ... with the SureFit hosel, the TSi2 range can accommodate any loft from 17° to 26°.

Suppose you have 20 and 22 set-up, which I do by lowering one loft from 21 and 23 (d1; 818 and ts2). For tsi3, you need to have two 21 hybrids with different lengths. Or, may be i have had terribly wrong information about the surefit hosel.

Surefit in the hybrids allows you to decrease loft by 1º from standard or increase loft by 1º or 2º from standard.  

 

You have options - for the TSi2, you can bump an 18º up to 20 and a 21º to 22 (shaft lengths would be 1/2" different).  Or, you could start with two 21º; lower one to 20 and raise the other to 22 (shaft lengths would be the same). 

 

The TSi3 model only comes in 18º or 20º, so you could bump each by 2º if you want different shaft lengths, or start with two 20º if you want the same shaft length.

I got mine at the beginning of this week. Just swapped the shaft today so should be good to hit tomorrow

[jmevox]

Nice.  Let me know how it goes.

I tested the TSi2 on Trackman this week and it was hot for me, best ball speeds of any hybrid I tested.  Consistency wasn't on par with the ball speed for me so I ended up going with another OEM, but if they work for your swing they could be excellent.

[kwainio]

They're really good. TSi2 is really big to my eye, bigger than the G425 hybrid even, super forgiving though. TSi3 looks the same as the TS3 to me, maybe even sits a little open? I was initially sold on the TSi3 but ended up getting the Apex Pro, but really could've easily gamed both.

Hi Folks - been following this thread and have a quick question....has anyone changed up from TS2 Hybrid to TSi 2?

I have a TS2 23deg and looking to add a '5 hybrid to my bag...not sure if I should go with TS2 25deg (to keep the same design, feel etc), or TSi2 24deg

Was wondering if there are big differences between TS and TSi....and if the difference if big enough to change

In 2009 I bought a Titleist 19 degree 909H hybrid. It was stolen in 2012. I found one in a bin and bought it again that very same day. Tech has changed and my 4 iron now goes almost as far so I decided to upgrade. I play as a 9, and I went with the TSI3. I tested the TSI2, but the TSI2 was more like a fairway wood. The notion that the TSI3 is for better players is kind of ridiculous. A 2 or 3 iron is for better players. A 2 hybrid is for everybody. Looking at the head size of the TSI3, its about the same size of my 2009 hybrid. So the TSI2 shifted to be more like a fairway wood while the TSI3 is more the same. I couldn't be happier with the TSI3. The thing pops and is easy to hit (as a hybrid should be). Also, the adjustability is great. I want to hit greens with it so the ability to dial in 18-20 degrees and anything in between is great. Plus the plate at the bottom is great. My miss is either off the toe or an overdraw (i.e. hook). Moving the weight to the toe helps both of those misses. If you're looking for a long iron replacement, the TSI3 is the way to go.

agree 100%......i am about to replace my 909H as well.....

[herkyjerk]

Hit these at a demo day and ordered on contact.  Took a pretty nice club to break my 14 year run of Ping & Callaway only.  Before these the last Titleist I had in the bag was the immortal 905R driver.  That’s like a dial phone to you young bucks out there.  No idea what I’m talking about.  God I’m getting old.

I got the 18 TSi2.  Knocked my 5 wood out of the bag for what I need it for.  My 5 wood went a little too far on good hits and not far enough on bad strikes.  I found this to be a lot more consistent in terms of strike for me.  

[MH2]

I just picked up a 20* tsi3 to replace my trusty 816 H2. Only hit a few balls out to the field but seems like a solid replacement for me and the 816 has been in my bag since it’s release date

[hartrick11]

Got the 18* TSi2. I was previously using the 818h2, and I have had all sorts of hooking issues with other hybrids in the past. I found this easier to hit than my h2 and the TSi3 (though only had about 15 swings with that), and at the flat setting (plus cut down 1/2" which makes it even flatter), it doesn't want to go left for me.

[r3www]

I’m still waiting for tsi2...ordered 6 weeks ago. 

[hartrick11]

I’d add that I tried the Sim2 as well and if a smaller profile hybrid was a priority, that was easier to hit for me vs the TSi3. I was very close between SIM2 and the TSi2. YMMV obviously.

I ordered a ts2 in november. In february was told its still backordered. Changed my order to tsi2 and said it would ship out immediately. Still don’t have it. I may sell the damn thing when it gets here because im so annoyed.

Strange- mine arrived 5 days after I ordered it, which was like 3 weeks ago. Maybe it’s a specific grip or shaft holding it up? Though if that’s the case it’s almost even more frustrating they didn’t just say so...

I have no idea what’s going on with them. My tsi2 3 wood came in 2 days after release with the same shaft. Its just a mitsubishi raw blue
