Agree - somewhat surprised all the planned TSR models weren’t released at same time. Perhaps a Titleist staffer can respond?

Do not play one. Waiting for the TSR 1. Why this was not introduced same time as the others baffles me.. I do see it on the USGA conforming list though.

The swappable weights in the TSR4 did it for me. I've been wanting to try a lower spinning drive for a long time now. Tired of flying the ball further than my playing partners yet being outdriven because of no roll. With the front and back weights swapped on the TSR4 to the 3.5 setting, I finally get the lower spin I've been looking for, while also being way more forgiven than past '4' models. I got to game it a handful of times in the fall before winter hit and what I have been most surprised with is just how straight it wants to fly. I'm coming from a TS2 and I'm way more consistent with the TSR4. Just a great driver.

Have just upgraded to the TSR3 and love it, also playing the TSR 18 degrees with a 3 wood shaft fitted, fabulous for length and height for soft landings

Did a fitting 4 weeks and 2 days ago. Loved the TSR3 9.0 and HZRDUS Red 50 6.0 CB Shaft. Was told by my pro shop 1-2 weeks delivery. As of yesterday the shop told me they still had not seen any information from Titleist Australia on estimated delivery date.

Pretty pissed off quite frankly.

I recently had a full bag fitting and was recommended the TSR2. Just by looking at the driver you know this is a real piece of perfection from the inbuilt technology down to the craftsmanship employed during manufacturing. Upon using the driver at my golf course, I was over impressed with how the technology actually works and has made a difference to my game in both accuracy and distance. After switching from another brand can I recommend, you go and get a fitting or try and TSR driver for your self. Just like me I know you will be impressed.

Not so much in distance gain, but it feels lighter off of the face and it’s helping with off centre strikes, compared to my TSi3 Driver

Good drive I hit on demo day I hit it better than my driver just can’t afford it

I just bought the TSR3 Driver and 5 Wood I had the TSI3 Woods I put the Graphic Design Shafts in them they are awesome and like all Titelist clubs very good looking. I’ve been hooked on Titelist for years.

TSR2 fitted by an trusted pro. Extra distance better dispersion HZRD red shaft. Also got the 16.5degree fairway . Both replaced the TS2.
2 issues the head cover is thin and by 818 hybrid is 100times better.
Second is the face marks badly. Titleist uk said keep it clean. Winter golf means a wet towel and a dry towel to clean all clubs and the ball . But the face still marks.
After the round clubs cleaned but driver face drys with ball marks still very visible. Tried neat washing up liquid rinse repeat. Better but not perfect …. Any help

The numbers were better across the board - spin, carry, etc moving from my TSi3 to the TSR2, but what I love about the change is the sound. I like to get my money's worth and use the entire club face, and the TSI3 would sound differently between the center of the club face and the toe or heel strike. The TSR2 sounds great across the entire face, and your playing partners think you are pounding it all day :)

I was fitted for and purchased a TSi3 a couple of years ago. I recently tried the TSR2 and my dispersion numbers were much tighter. In my opinion, the TSR2 performs much like the TSi3, but is more forgiving.

TSR4 because it’s a low spin forgiving unicorn

I went to get fitted for new irons with no intention of getting new woods (can I still call them that these days?). I hit the ball plenty far, so my general philosophy is that I just need to keep the ball on green grass in order to put up a number. I was previously playing the TS3 and was content. After hitting the TSR3 on the trackman it was clear I needed to make the switch. I was carrying the ball 20 yards farther and was able to reduce my spin rate to optimize. I like the feel and sound much better than the TS3. Not going to stop me from sending the ball 300 yards out of bounds but misses are definitely straighter and longer. Reaffirmed again as a Titleist snob. Thanks for delivering the quality!

I almost feel the TSR2 is a cheat code. The forgiveness is unbelievable. As an 8 handicap and having days where I can find the middle of the face consistently, the TSR2 has given me a level of confidence I’ve never had with a driver.

I got fitted a few months back, but I didnt have my TSi3 to compare with. The recommendation was for a TSR2, 9 degrees, S flex, with an adjustment to A1 (.75 degrees, LH). Since then I adjusted my TSi3 also to A1, and I have been much more consistent with it. My cousin is going to set up a private fitting at his club after the holidays, and I will be able to more accurately compare the two, I am very much looking forward to it.

I loved my TSI2 but once I got fitted for my TSR2 what a difference. I like how they made the TSR2 look more like the 3. Improved look down at the ball gave me so much more confidence

I will play a TSR driver eventually... because the best play with the best ;)

Recently hit and placed an order to replace my TSi3 with a TSR4. I tried the TSi4 when I was fitted for the 3, but just couldn't cope with it on slightly off centre hits. Titleist have fully sorted that out now, with much better performance all the way across the face. Lowered my spin by nearly 350RPM and got a few more MPH ball speed out of it, maxing out at 175MPH. Delighted!!

I have played cally driver and 3 metal the last two years. I was fitted for these 2 clubs but found dispersion with the driver when played a round was not reliable. For most rounds, the driver stayed in the bag and would use the 3 metal for T shots. Decided to make a change and my coach told me to try Titleist. Got fitted a few weeks ago. The fitter had me outside on grass and using TM. We started using my cally and got baseline numbers- very typical- some good but plenty that would be in the rough or OB. Then he gave me the TSR3 with a stiffer shaft. Immediately I was longer and my misses were so much better. Got my new clubs a week ago just in time for snow here in Colorado but cant wait to put them in play next season. It will be nice to be confident hitting driver again!

I’ve been fitted for tsr2 driver and tsr2 4 wood. I’ve previously been pretty consistent but after getting fitted for the TSR range I hardly miss a fairway.

I’ve gained an additional 15-20 yds on average and thank god Titleist bring new models every two years otherwise it would be a very expensive season

RE: Why Do You Play a TSR Driver?

Well I changed from TSI 3 because I had better ball speed and increased yardage. I know game the TSR2 it just had better numbers and was more forgiving. I also changed from a g425 max 3 wood into a TSR2 3 wood and it was mind blowing better distance a better flight and spin was so much more consistent. Not to mention the looks are just beautiful

I represent a fairly large group of golfers who have not traditionally played Titleist drivers, in my case going with png for the last 10 or 15 years. I have tried to hit Titleist over the years, but have found them not very forgiving. I am 74 with an index of 3, a driver swing speed of 95 mph and a generally solid golf game. I am also an equipment nerd, keeping up with all of the new technologies, trying demos all the time, wearing out the simulator, etc. I suppose that comes with haven't gone to MIT for 10 years. In any case, I read about the TSR drivers, and when the demos came to my club, was the first one to try them out. I started with the Simulator and quickly found the shaft that suited me the best - Tensei Blue 55 g stiff flex. My swing speed puts me right at the line between R and S, but the stats and the great feel of the shots was strongly in favor of S. The choice between the TSR2 versus TSR3 was a little more difficult, as both performed very well, - surprisingly well given my past history with Titleist drivers. I am a fairly consistent striker of the ball, and so the TSR3 seemed like a reasonable option, but I ended up going with the TSR2 because its forgiveness was significantly better, and I didn't feel I gave up a lot in distance or performance. I then tried those clubs on the course, comparing them to my png G 400, and a png G425 that I was also demoing. One thing that I value a lot in a driver is a face that is neutral at address. Many of the new drivers, including the png 425 look closed to me, and I typically hit balls that start left and often stay left with those drivers. The TSR2 suits my eye very much and I find I don't have to fool around trying to square that face at address by adjusting my grip or the shaft angle. I love the sound at impact, and the feel is pleasing as well. It's as if the ball is flattening against the club face and then jumping off, and I really like that. Dispersion is great. I generally hit a lot of fairways, and I continue to do that with the TSR2, and I've gained a few yards over the png, which I should say has survived comparisons against many demoed drivers from multiple manufacturers in recent years, but not this time. I ended up purchasing the TSR2 and have been using it for over a month and still love to take it out and hit it. The people I play with frequently all agree that it has been a great addition to my bag. The bottom line: looks - check; feel - check; sound - check; face angle - double check; forgiveness - double check; distance - check. I never thought I would say this, but I am a convert.

Was fit for the TSR3 coming from a Stealth +. They driver is just unbelievable. Very stable especially off miss hits. My miss is low heel and the TSR3 manages to keep the spin in a good spot instead of spinning up like crazy. Picked up a few extra yards while having a tighter dispersion front to back, can't beat that. Feels good to a have a full bag of Titleist clubs again :D
