  1. I play the TSr3 8* driver because it's the very best driver in golf. It's long and very forgiving. My swing speed is approximately 95 mph and I am able to hit my tee ball around 240 yards. That's vey good for me and am able to hit 75-80% of my drives in the fairway. I played the TSi3 driver previously and loved that driver as well. The TSr3 driver is a little longer and a small amount more forgiving.

    I was currently using the TSI3 along with my trusted 3W TSI3 at 12.75, it got to point with my TSI3 driver that my miss was all over the place. I never really got fitted for a driver before and wow what a difference it has made to my game now. I when for the fitting at the Titleist Performance Center and my fitter was Joey and he was awesome. We took our time, and we narrow it down between the TSR3 and TSR4 drivers. Both drivers I gain about 15-20 yards than my TSI3 driver. All said and done he said the TSR3 was the best fit for you. Well, he has been correct on that. My miss are 5-10 yards now which has been huge to my game and shot by first ever under par with nice 68. On top that we ahead got the TSR3 3W because the other 3W wasn't good off the turf.
    The best decision I have ever made getting proper fitting for a driver and I am excited where my game is going now. I have been hitting this driver about 3 months, huge difference from feels and contact especially the missed now. Got fitted with 1-inch shorter shaft with 70 with the new Project X HZRDUS Black shaft. Now I can carry at least 265 plus in the air now. THUMBS UP!!!!

    Love the new TSR driver, have the 3 with stock stiff tensei shaft. 8* standard tuning, nothing custom. My accuracy is greatly improved with this club, fairway average improved from 60% into the 80% plus range. Also picked up the 3w @13.5* same stock shaft and no special tuning, love it equally. I have played the tsi3 and 4 drivers the last few seasons and they don't even come close (for me) to this series. I feel it's a must have after playing it the last few weeks. (Have about 17 rounds on both clubs so far).

    Went through extensive testing of every major driver. TSR2 now in the bag, 10.5 degree, stiff kuro kage TiNi limited edition shaft which lets me be as aggressive as i want and launch angle/spin don't really move around. the consistency of this driver is what ultimately sold me, and pairs really well for my game with the new avx ball, which takes a bit of shaping away in exchange for high launch, non-ballooning drives.

    also, the hidden star of the lineup is the tsr 2 fairway imo. put a 7 wood in the bag and it's quickly becoming a go to. high enough to hold, easy enough to hit from any lie.
  5. I switched to the TSr3 because it was the best looking and best feeling driver I had ever seen or hit in my life. I am a +3 handicap so I need it to look good and perform just as well. Top notch product from Titleist. I am proud to be a member of Team Titleist and continue to believe they make the best golf equipment in the world bar none.

    I went for a fitting at a local club last week just to see what a TSR could do for me, even though I just did a full bag upgrade in January to a set of TSi2 Driver/Fairways. I was curious of the ball speed hype was real and if I would see some decent gains.

    Ended up settling on a TSR2 8 degree head shafted in the Tour AD UB-6 Stiff and TSR2 Fairways with the UB-7 shaft. I was seeing roughly 20 yard carry increase with a tighter dispersion

    Absolutely love the new driver. Gained 30 yards no joke. Couldn’t believe how smooth it feels off the face.

    After playing for about two weeks with it I ordered the three wood.

    Best wood setup I have ever had.

    Titleist killed it with this club!!!

    Here's the quick version of my experience... I made the switch after a fitting at TPI where we were able to find more ball speed, more distance and tighter dispersion than my previous gamer.

    I ended up with the TSR4 and the performance has been amazing since I added it to the bag.

    I love my new TSr3 driver, and the 4G Black Smoke shaft is very stable. I came from the TSi3 and I think the TSr3 is a little more forgiving, and definitely longer. To me its also the best looking driver on the market.

    I am a life-long Titleist loyalist. I recently purchased 2 TSR Drivers and 2 TSR 15-degree 3 woods. One pair is in the bag in Connecticut and the other pair is in Pinehurst, NC. Titleist did a fitting for me and found a lighter and better performing shaft for the new driver. My spin rates have improved and my disersion is much tighter with the TSR Driver.

    The TSR 3 was the better Driver head for me. I have hit the TSR Driver much more consistently than any other Driver I have ever had. The TSR 3-Wood is BY FAR the easiest-to-hit fairway wood that I've ever had. Better distance, better accuracy with both the Driver and 3-Wood. Distance & Performance - this is way Titleist is the best equipment in the game from your golf ball through the bag.

    It's been almost 2 months since I first got my hands on the TSR3. During the fitting process, our goal was to eliminate the left side of the course as much as possible. The TSi2 wasn't horrible but my left side misses could be severe at times and unpredictable. Since gaming the TSR3, I've pretty much eliminated any misses on the left side; my last round had zero misses on the left side.

    I'm very happy with the TSR and looking forward to more rounds with it.

    I'm 51 now, after 25 years of not picking up clubs, gaining weight, losing muscle in all the core areas and starting back up after a 25-year hiatus, I expected to be in the 90+ range, but I ended shooting low to mid 70’s, 2 64's and a 65. So, I went to get fitted for clubs.

    Moving on from a TM R7Q TP XS and a bag of 25 yr old clubs, I started 2022 with the miz ST-g 220 Stiff, I really liked and was used to the variable weight shifting process. I did NOT hit the TSi3 well in testing. About 4 weeks ago, after an entire season with several lessons and tournaments under my belt, my swing had changed for the better and I needed a new fitting. The TSR3 was the winner. The VFT and shifting the hitting zone fit my game perfectly and the feel is just amazing through impact. I moved into the FW woods as well and after testing the TSR2 FW, the 3 again was the winner, shifting that hitting zone really provides the best impact position for me.

    I have joined the Amateur Players Tour in Chicago and will be competing in several events across the country during the 2023 season. This is a first step for me on my way to achieving my goal of getting to the Champions Tour qualifying events before I turn 55.

    I will also be starting a YouTube channel with the support of a few local courses, Local PGA Teaching Pros as well as our local NBC affiliate to document the journey to the Champions Tour qualifiers as well as my path to getting in shape, establishing routines for work outs and practices.
  14. I went to the range one day at my local course which has TopTracer and a demo program. I was working on my driving as Arccos says driving was one of the weakest parts of my game. I went and looked around and saw the new TSR drivers and hit both the TSR2 and TSR3 and compared it to my current driver. TopTracer showed about 10 mph increase in ball speed and more consistent dispersion with both drivers over my then-current driver.

    I booked a fitting and found the TSR3 did the better job of keeping my launch and spin in the right window compared to TSR2. Since putting it in my bag, I've seen a 15-yard gain in total distance, and my driving strokes gained went from -0.06 to +0.20. I am hitting more fairways and hitting it longer and am excited to continue improving!

    I was able to get fitted at my Country Club and it was an amazing experience, Aaron was such a professional and was able to get me on track in a very short time frame. I played Titleist for about 10-12 years and switched about 2 years ago, and now I'm back. I have the 9-degree TSR3 Driver and the TSR2+ with a quarter more loft. Amazing feel and love the ball flight and cannot be happier. Thank you, Titleist, glad to be back in the family.

    I decided to get fitted for a new TSR driver and made the switch from a TS2 to the TSR3. The ball just jumps off the club face and I have added about 10ths of distance but what is really impressive is the shot dispersion. My shot group has definitely shrunk combined with more distance this was a great addition to my bag. I am getting fitted this week for a fairway wood and hybrid.

    I am 61, play golf several times a week at my local club, and am a single digit handicap. I have played TM, cally, png, Cobra, miz, and Titleist woods all my life. I keep coming back to Titleist and for now I'm here to stay. I recently had the TSi2 and TSi3 drivers and fairway metals. The TSi2s suited my game pretty well, but the TSR2 really focused in on what I look for in woods. It's got a great look to it like all Titleist clubs do, and instills confidence when I'm setting up for a bomb. It is very forgiving and low spinning. The woods have a nice pop to them when they send one from the sweet spot. Dispersion is tight and the feel is fantastic on impact. I have the TSR2 driver (9 degree), 3-wood (15 degree), 5-wood (18 degree), and 7-wood (21 degree). (I wish Titleist would build a TSR 9-wood so I could replace my png 9-wood with it.) I very much recommend the Titleist TSR line.

    Early in my TSR journey. I have the TSR2 11* driver with a UST Helium 5F3 shaft. I've noticed an increase in distance of 10-15 yards or so, with no loss in accuracy. I also JUST got the TSR2 16.5 4-wood and 21 7-wood. They have the HZRDUS Red CB 50 5.5 shafts. Just played my first round with them and still adapting, but I had a few good shots with them, especially off the tee. Looking forward to getting these dialed in.

    How do I respond without being overly philosophical? Simple, the change was necessary because it was obvious. I was playing the TSI line of Driver and Fairways, and frankly I was playing better that I had every played before. My index was plummeting, my wallet was lightening and I was ready for something better. While at TPI for the most amazing experience in my golf "career" Joey and I worked through my Driver and Fairways and found that with a few simple tweaks in my swing, and some serious changes in my equipment I was going to gain yardage and ball speed. Further and Faster!

    My swing speed stayed the same, a TSR2 8* set to D-2 increased ball speed 5-7MPH and my distance increased a whopping 21 Yards of carry. Oh and I must mention, my dispersion improved dramatically. I was now hitting 281 on the carry and the ball was leaping off the face with a pleasant "smoosh" at impact. I had never felt that response in a driver. So, as I said before, it was an obvious upgrade. Good bye TSI4 10* hello TSR2 8*. Now fast forward to today, my distance is staying the same, my spin is low enough to manage, and my wallet is plumping up again as I'm playing to my index and winning more often.

    Fairways... why did I make the change? It wasn't obvious at the start, in fact I was scared. But, after a month of play and getting comfortable, I learned that the most valuable change in the lineup was with my Fairway woods. I went from TSI3 3/5 Wood and TSI2 21*. To the TSR2 15/18/21* fairways. We added some head weight, went to 70g Shafts and sweet baby jesus.... I can pound the fairway metals anywhere I want, with accuracy, and control like I have never felt before. This was the biggest shift in my eyes when it comes to the new equipment. These fairway metals are out of this world amazing. I love the look, the feel, the sound and results.

    ASK me if I made the right choice.... Heck ya! Ask me would I change anything? Not a chance... until there is something better from Titleist.... these clubs are like family to me and go everywhere I go!

    Faster...longer...straighter!

  20. Brought my current gamer to a fitting and compared same loft and same shaft. It was incredible to see that I did gain 4 mph with the TSR which equals more distance. Dialed in the head and the weights. In the last months my driving average has improved and now hitting 70% of my fairways!
