I was very lucky recently to attend a demo of the new TSi Drivers and Fairway Metals at Medinah Country Club in Chicago. I have been very happy with my current TS2 clubs so I was scratching my head how Titleist could possibly make a major improvement. To my surprise they have a new winner without question! I have posted a variety of pictures on my Instagram Account under @Chris92009 if you wish to see more (I had some problems uploading on this thread pics so I apologize for the inconvenience).

Here is a Short Review of the new Titleist TSi Clubs from my demo experience, I hope you get some value from my day; TSi Thoughts: I thought we would examine three categories 1.Looks, 2. Feel/Sound, and 3. Bottomline Impressions. 1. Looks: TSi2/TSi3 are both gorgeous and for faders of the ball on the TSi3 the toe area is open in appearance since it is rounded beautifully. My initial impression is that the looks are amazing and a huge step up over the TS and 917 prior “gen” clubs that sometimes looked closed at address. Home run for Titleist here! 2. Feel/Sound: This where the home run turns into a grand slam...in the past they have made improvements but this driver is out of the park amazing. I would describe the sound as a “crunch” feeling like I am really compressing the ball on a serious launch! The track man numbers confirm this as true! It almost sounds/feel you are really compressing the ball and it is shooting with enormous speed off the face. Bottomline: This driver and fairway metal are going into my bag immediately! I could not believe how much less the dispersion is on the TSi vs TS and how much farther they go!

Hopefully, if you have not already, you will have a chance to demo these gorgeous clubs and you will have similar thoughts...regardless I think these are an improvement over the TS and definitely over 917/915 drivers and fairway metals.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Sand Valley in early October and Bandon Dunes later in October!

Cheers, Chris

Greetings, first post. I registered specifically to review this club, because it deserves it. This is a truly phenomenal club.

As a background, I have historically not used Titleist clubs. I am what one would consider a png dude. This is not out of any animus towards Titleist, it just happened that way because png has everything in left-handed. Hopefully one will read that thinking that my review is objective, which it is.

My handicap that fluctuates between 2.x and 4.x.

This is my current composition:

1W - png G400, 10.5 delofted to 9.5, Ventus Blue 6-X. Tipped 3/4" and OAL is 44.75". Fitted, but I have a little bit of lead tape on it. 5W - TM Sim with the V-steel plate on the bottom. Standard shaft which is black Diamana and has a flower on it. It is delofted from 19 to 17. Not Fitted 3-AW (PW is 45 and AW is 50) png i500, black dot, Dynamic Gold S300. Fitted. png Glide 3.0 56 wedge. png Arna putter, fitted or TM Spider X, not fitted (green speed dictates which one I use). All clubs have Jumbomax small Tour grips on them.

For the record, I do have several Titleist clubs. I have a 975D from back in the day, which was awesome. I have a Cameron Newport 2 Pro Platinum from 2002 with original grip even. I do not use it because for some reason Anser-style putters and I don't seem to agree with each other. It took me a while to figure out. I would rate it as a great putter even though the head style is wrong for me. As a side note, it rusted. Should I leave it as-is or restore it at some point?

I will do several posts to review the TSi3 that I received today. I received a TSi3 today from TGW. It is left-handed, 9-degree, Tensei White Stiff. It is entirely stock and not customized at all.

I was in court all day and traveled back home to barely make it to a Top Tracer league as a fill in for a friend. I pulled it out of the box when I got there. So, I had never hit it before. I had however, hit a playing partner's TSi3 with the Tensei Blue and it felt really good ON THE VERY FIRST SHOT even though it was totally the wrong shaft for me. I hit maybe six shots that day with it and they all felt effortless. Instant sale. I bought this one when I saw TGW had a lefty in stock. Tensei white was my only choice, so I obviously went with that. I figured at worst I would have to go to for a shaft fitting.

I hit three warm up shots and then the league started. In all, I hit it about 15-20 times tonight. Conditions were harsh. It is about 30 degrees and the wind was about 20 mph directly into the Top Tracer building.

Observations:

1. This club is the easiest swinging driver I have ever had, bar none. The G400 is smooth, but I did a lot of modification to it to get it that way and most of that is frankly to the credit of the Ventus shaft. The TSi3 is stupidly smooth and my stroke with it is effortless. I have no idea why. It just works. 2. This club is hard to mishit, in that it has very good dispersion and is easy to strike in the center of the face. I had no significantly errant shots. My common miss is to get fast with my hips because they were open in relation intended line, which generally produces an over-the-top pull that is straight, but offline to the right (to a rightie's left) for me. 3. This is a very attractive club. 4. It has a very neutral setup. It suits my eye very well, which I have learned is extremely important. Closed face drivers (read SIM and the like) are a struggle for me. 5. No balls "spun-up" into the wind. Flight penetrated the wind, which was certainly a two-club headwind. That is just excellent. One criticism with the G400 is that it can spin up if I am not careful. I have a positive AofA at about three degrees on average. 6. The Tensei White stiff shaft was firm (a good thing for me -- I do not like a whippy feel) 7. Qualify of manufacture appears to be top notch. This is a complaint with respect to Taylor Made in particular. My Spider X putter has paint chipping despite my excellent care of it. I am a headcover on irons guy if that gives one an idea of how I cared for it. 8. Distance is better than the G400 by a considerable amount. I will quantify that later.

At this point, I don't think I will need to modify except for the grip size. It worked extremely well out-of-the-box, so to speak.

I will do a followup where I go to Top Tracer and get some actual data. I plan to do 15 shots with each the TSi3, G400 and G410, alternating each shot, and not cherry-picking shots. I'll post that as my second review post.

My only complaint is that it came with neither a tool, nor a manual for the settings, which I have no idea how the hosel settings work. I think it came default at D1, whatever that means (I assume that is stated loft and lie). No offense is intended, but the png hosel is pretty intuitive to use. I'll download a chart of the settings somewhere. The overall point there is that it should have come with both. It is a bit bush-league that it did not, particularly considering the cost. Is it fair to assume that any torque-tool will work (i.e., a png or TM one) and apply the proper torque?

That's all I have for now and I hope that is helpful in some way.

I recently was fitted for and purchased the TSi 2 driver. I went into a local big box store assuming I would fit into the TSi 3, but through testing it was obvious the TSi 2 fit me the best. I watch all the YouTube channels and read through club reviews on the 2 drivers. The recurring comments were that the TSi3 would mostly fit/appeal to your low handicaps.

I was surprised the TSi2 was my better option. I am a 2-3 handicap and play blades irons down to the 5 iron. I am a really good ball striker with irons but sometimes struggle with strikes on the driver. Generally, I swing driver just over 100mph and can sometimes push it to 105. My typical shot shape with driver is straight or slight fade. I also hit up on the ball with driver so I typically don’t struggle with too much spin on the driver.

During my fitting I was consistently getting 250 carry and roll out to 280+, great numbers for my better than avg swing speed. Spin stayed in the 2200 range and all other key stats were optimal. The deciding factors on choosing the TSi2 over the 3 was: (1) the ridiculously tight dispersion and (2) forgiveness on miss hits. The eye opener was one miss hit. I thought I completely lost one right and was expecting high spin and loss of distance. That shot still went 270 with 2700 spin and was only about 20 yards right of center line.

I loved the TSi3 look and feel. It was slightly longer for me, maybe 5 yards, but my miss hits were punished more and I did not have the tight dispersion experienced with the TSi2. Using the same shaft on each head I just found it easier to square the face and hit middle of the face with the TSi2. Very surprised by this, but the results don’t lie. The shaft I ended up with was the Tensei Raw Blue 55 stiff flex, set at A1 on a 10 degree head.

I have since hit the driver at my local range and used it at our Top Tracer here in Omaha at a local course. Similar results...crazy straight drives with tight dispersion. Top Tracer showed similar stats I mentioned earlier and ball speeds stayed in the 147-153 range, so I’m getting at or close to 1.5 smash factor on my drives. I’m excited to get this out in the course when the weather gets better and also plug in a Ventus Velocore Blue shaft I used with a previous driver to see if I can get even better numbers. That shaft is the real deal.

My key point I want to make is don’t go in for a fitting without giving both the 2 and 3 a test run. You may be surprised. It’s easy to pick the club that goes the farthest on the launch monitor, but golf is a game that you want play in the fairway. I know I will find a lot more fairways with my new TSi2 driver and not be giving up any yards distance wise.

Hats off to Titleist Engineers & Designers, they have done an outstanding job on the new TSi Woods. The TSi2 Driver Sounds prefect, the rolled toe sets the club perfectly at address. They also got a few more yards, as well as forgiveness. The driver is stunning at address, and inspires confidence, finding more fairways, with 8-10 more yards. The Fairway Metals are the best Titleist has brought to the market. Have been so impressed with these clubs, now came back to a full bag of Titleist equipment. Paid the price for CNCPT 04, and worth every penny, again the Engineers & Designers have produced a great iron, that LOOKS awesome. Would like to see the next generation of Titleist irons incorporate some of the cosmetic designs into the new line. Was not a fan the T200 T300 looks, or feel. So wandered away to another T company. Now, back and extremely pleased with every aspect of my bag. Thanks Titleist
