Which head beats the other in the H2H matchup? 

Stealth 2+ is longer.  TSR2 is higher launching and has tighter in dispersion.

Thank you for the insight! I am debating on coming to a TSR3 head from a Stealth plus head and after a 7 year run with TaylorMade Drivers!

When I say tighter dispersion, something like 10 to 15 yard wide circle.

 

My oldest son who is a PGA Management Major generated a 6 yard wide dispersion at 280 yards in his TSR fitting last year, with an 11 degree TSR2.  Don’t know what he and I can get with a TSR3 though.

New to me G425 Max with a Grand Bassara 29R shaft and 30g grip, playing at 44.5".  Looking for a nice fairway finder, high launch, and easy to swing.  Hopefully hitting it for the first time this afternoon.

Gaming a TSR2 with ventus red and couldn’t be more happy. Coming out of a Sim2 with hzrdus black that I got ‘fit’ for at golftec. Looking back on the experience the fitter was trying to fight my spin numbers with a shaft that didn’t work for me when in reality a lower lofted head should’ve been the first thing we tried.

Staying in my Cobra SZ until I get my swing where I want it... then changing to whatever optimises the driver launch and spin windows I want. Leaning towards trying the new Srixons or Titleist TSR. Not loving the new Cobra look. Cant stand the Taylormades look nowdays and the new Callaway is also a no go for me... Would love to go Ping but thats a lot of buck so it would really have to outperform

Why not  up a G425 for $399 new?

Giving the Gen5 XF a spin this year.  Moved on from the Gen4, which was great during the honeymoon period, but then got Jeckyl and Hyde on me.  So far, the Gen5 seems more consistent, my good swings produce similar results, and my bad ones stay on the planet, which is a huge plus in my book.

A few rounds in for ‘23 and I think I’m staying with the rogue st td.  Just love the way it sets up and the matte crown.  Might be tempted with a g430 or tsr3, but not in a rush.  Been striking it really well.

It amazes me that the Mizuno driver lines get so little love. 

 

I know their drivers were not the best a while back, but ever since the ST190 line came out, I think their drivers have been fantastic. 

 

I'm still rocking my ST190 with GD Tour AD DI and the newer stuff hasn't changed that. But I'm tempted by the TSR line and the G430. I plan to give those a go to see if there is anything there at is a huge leap from my current gamer.

Had the exact same experience at Golftec.

 

was fit into TSR3 with a HZRDUS black at 10.

 

got refit later into TSR2 with ventus Red TR at 9.

 

finding way more fairways. Same distance.

 

good fitters are important

G430 Max with Kai'li White will be on order shortly.  I currently have a Radspeed XB and the difference was night and day. The consistency of the G430 Max is astounding, backspin and sidespin std dev. were both < 150rpms, gained on average 4mph in ball speed and everything went nearly dead straight. It was a no brainer.
