Ordered mine on the 15th and got my tracking information today. Looks like it was picked up yesterday and I’ll have it in hand by Sunday. Hoping it will come a day early so I can take it to my Sunday morning round. 

That is encouraging - my order hasn't updated since the day I ordered on the 16th. and the socks I ordered at the same time have been stuck in Sacramento for nearly a week.

I have a number of TSi clubs and what worked best for me was tsi3 in driver and tsi2 in fairway woods. 

The main difference in my opinion is MOI. The tsi2 just wants to go strait no matter what I do to it so its great for fairway woods.

Well, bummer. The TSi3 I'd ordered through TGW with the no-upcharge AD DI came. But it's the black version, not the orange version. Aesthetics don't matter to some people but they do to me, so I'm sending this back. I called Titleist and they do have the orange version in stock, it's not an inventory problem.

Mine came with the black version too.  Is there a difference in the orange and the black in regards to performance?

Seems to be the norm. I ordered orange. Came black. Things is a rocket launcher tho. Great combo

I have always been a deep face, "FD" guy.  Starting with the TS3 they were too low spin for me - although the TS3 is the best looking club I have every seen.  I moved to the TS2 and was very happy, then to the TSi2 which is absolutely perfect.  I won't try the TSi3 based on my experience with the TS3, but I wish I had the game for it.

TSi2 is just an awesome fairway. Not too big, shallow-ish face, easy to launch and sounds great.

None - its just color.

How did you get the AD DI with no upcharge?

Same for me. Got mine a few days ago. I actually think the black looks better.

Go to custom specs and you can order the orange with no upcharge. There's a lot of us that just did it. Mine took about 2 weeks from order to delivery. Like the others mine came with the black shaft but I'm ok with that as I preferred the look of the black.

 

The club itself is an absolute beast, I highly recommend trying it out. I wasn't sure if I'd like it since I had never hit the head or shaft before but after 1 range session and round I'm hooked. That combo is just great and it performs beautifully.

[kingbing]

I received mine a few weeks ago.  It came with the orange AD DI.  FYI, TGW had the Tour AD Di at no up charge for the TSI3 fairway only.  The price has been like that for at least 6 weeks.  Not sure if they changed the price yet.

[tofur99]

thanks for the heads up on tgw, just ordered one and actually hoping it's the black version

I started with the tsi3 but switched to the 2. Much better launch and spin combo. Most think they need to lowest launching and spinning combo. Even though I have good speed, I need launch and spin. The tsi2 was way better.

Completely agree.  The nice thing with the Tsi2 is you aren't really giving up anything either.  It's still reasonably compact and has a reasonably deep face despite being the "easy" to hit model.

[OSUBuckeyeFan8]

I went with the TSi3 for my woods. My home course requires less than driver on a lot of holes and since I mostly use my fairways off the tee I wanted the lower launching options. I have not found them difficult to hit off the deck but admit the TSi2 would probably be easier to hit and would probably spin more. I also preferred the looks of the TSi3 as the leading edge is straighter to my eye. I think both are great but there are more forgiving options.

For sure. I think it actually has a better shape and feel. Plus performance is better. Despite being the “forgiving” model..

That's why I have the Tsi2 for my 5-wood.  Can get the loft dialed into the course you play the most and use it as a par 5 weapon, nice compact head as well.  Tsi3 is amazing off the tee

Thanks for the info…I tried on TGW and it was full price…I tried to use it on the driver..I see now it’s just the fairways

This thread inspired me. Got my TSi3 3 wood with GD AD DI for the $299 from TGW (orange shaft). I can get a TSi2 head fairly cheaply (trade with a friend). I am using this mainly as a tee club and the heads are both 175 cc and look similar. I do not need more spin so looking for thoughts on the potential swap. (I know I should try it, etc. etc. but I am asking). Looking for additional comments.

Currently playing the ts3 15* and it’s been incredible!  I paired it with a smoother shaft (blueboard) but tipped it an extra .5” and it has given me a fantastic ball flight.  Allows me to launch it high and is long!

 

Also have the Tsi2 7 wood and I prefer the shape of the Tsi2 to the ts3.  I’m just too scared to change it because I’m hitting it so well.  I’ll probably get one more season out of the ts3 and then change to the Tsi2 this time next year.

Obviously if you can hit the 2 side by side, do it, that will give you the best info you can have at the time.  I wouldn't say that the TSi2 spins a crazy amount more than the 3, but your strike will determine that more.

 

I only upgraded from my TS2 4wd because I picked up a TSi2 head for less than what I ended up selling my TS2 for...  It is a fantastic head.

[sofla]

Just swapped out a TSi3 head for a Tsi2 on with Tour AD DI. Both real good but the 2 is easier to hit.

[bjno1300]

What are you guys thoughts comparing the 15 degree to the 16.5 in the tsi3??

Weird, I did this same thing and got the orange. I ordered in mid-Feb and it arrived mid-March. I actually prefer the black, so hopefully that's what they'll put into the TSi3 5-wood I ordered, although I might end up sticking with my Ventus Blue anyway.

[uglande]

I find the differences between TSi3 and TSi2 to be so slight that it's really hard to differentiate. The shaping is very slightly different, the face height is slightly different, but they are probably closer than any of the previous 2/3 models. 

What sold me on the upgrade from the TS2 to the TSi3/TSi2 was the face angle. The TS2 -- especially in the 4w and 7w had a noticeably shut face. Not compared to some models, like SIM Max. But still noticeable. The TSi3 and TSi2 both sit perfectly neutral to my eye.

I just called Callaway customer service and they said they definitely don’t have any non-Velocore made-for Ventus shafts; unlike TaylorMade they only sell the real-deal versions from Fujikura.

 

I also called PGA SS and they confirmed this would come directly from Callaway, not out of any proprietary made-for Ventus stash that PGA SS happens to have. In other words, if Callaway says they only do real-deal Ventus shafts, PGA SS doesn’t have the ability to place orders for anything else. And for what it’s worth, these exact same shafts are shown WITH an upcharge on the Big Bertha hybrids.

 

The Callaway customer service rep said it sounds like a screw-up on PGA SS’s website and sort of laughed and said I should jump on it.
 

So, who knows? And I’m definitely not trying to sound critical of @Mobert19 here — I was skeptical as well, and still sort of am. Just sharing what I was told. It’s not an enormous deal to me anyway because I was planning on swapping out the shaft myself. But if I can get a real-deal Ventus Blue in it for free… 

 

Anyway, this is off topic; just wanted to put it out there!

 

Is this confirmed a real velocore shaft? I just spec'd a Rogue ST Max fw on Callaway's site and they have the Ventus Blue with no upcharge. $356USD seems like a steal if it's a real Ventus Velocore.

No, that’s a made-for, definitely not a real deal VeloCore shaft.

 

That old post you’re quoting was about a temporarily glitch on PGA SS’s website; you could only get that deal through them, and only for a few days before they fixed the glitch. Since then, Callaway has started offering a made-for Ventus without VeloCore.
