I just picked up a TSR2 with Ventus TR 6S. I’m moving from a Sim2, and looking to get more forgiveness.

Had a great fitting session with the Titleist team and ended up with the Graphite Design Tour AD-IZ shaft which feels great and suits my timing

Back to my 910d3 to start the year again. Every time I put it back in it feels like it's an old friend.

I’m down to two finalists for this year — and they’re very different, but in their own ways they accomplish some of the same things for me.

 

1. TSR3 8* with a Graphite Design Tour AD UB or a Diamana TB. 

 

I should be a TSR2 guy. I even had one for a bit. But the 3 with weight in the toe is just magic for me. For whatever reason, I’m just really, really consistent with it. It calms down the hooks I’d sometimes get with the 2, and certainly it’s not as forgiving on paper but it does seem to forgive *my* miss.

 

The other thing here is that it’s hard to get an 8 degree (turned down to 7.25) head for lefties. I’m a +6 AoA guy but I seem to do best with blue shaft profiles, and the 8 degree TSR3 head keeps my launch down enough to let me play the shafts that suit my swing best without having to worry about absurd peak heights.

 

Also, this driver is beautiful-looking.

 

…or…

 

2. G430 Max 9* at flat -1* with a Ping Tour 2.0 Black 65S

 

I have one on the way. The -1 flat setting on Ping drivers with the weight in the toe is another awesome anti-hook set-up. It worked well to help me move my start line a bit on the G425, and I’m hoping for the same with this one.

 

Once they’re both here, I’ll do a lot of head-to-head tests and then decide.

 

I rambled about all this, but truly did not expect I'd see Ian Fraser debating between the same two heads! Looks like he's going with the G430 Max for now.

I've been going on about how the G430 feels like a sledgehammer to me so interesting to see him take so much weight out of his whilst still playing it at 45.25"

TSR2 11 degree with the Tensei Blue 55 gr, R flex.  Best feeling driver in the fitting.  The only club close to it in distance was the Aerojet 10.5 degree, another great diver in 2023.  
My Epic Speed 10.5 is available but most likely won’t see much action. 

TSr 2, 11 driver, Tensei Blue, 55r

TSi 2, 16.5 fairway wood, Tensei Blue, 65r

Aerojet, 21 fairway wood, Kai’li Blue, 65r
Qi10 22 hybrid, Ventus Blue, 65r
AP3, 5-48* - Steelfiber i95 r
Vokey SM9 - 52, 56, KBS Tour lite
