TITLEIST THREE WOOD BATTLE // TSR2 vs TSR3

Today, Ian and Mike take a further dive into testing the new TSR fairway metals by going head-to-head with TSR2 and TSR3.

The new fairways exemplify the newest advancements in metalwood technology and offer options for all golfers looking to gain an advantage off the tee and off the deck.

The Titleist TSR2 Fairway features maximum forgiveness with their lowest CG for speed and launch without creating excessive backspin. All while giving players a high and consistent flight.

The Titleist TSR3 Fairway features a 5-position SureFit Adjustable CG Track System to help dial in players with further modifiable characteristics. Featuring a lower, deeper CG and giving players more versatility and precise fitting options to help improve accuracy.

Both 3 Woods have a player preferred shape, let’s see which Ian think is the right one for his bag.

I hit the TSR3 16.5 Head, set to D4 (playing 15.75 Standard Lie), with the Tensei 1k 75g X, weight T1 (slight Toe), and it was just perfect - hit my 240 carry# and had a very neutral flight. Also tried the TSR2 16.5 - it was very repeatable - but it was just a little bigger than I was expecting. If you only carry two woods, give the 16.5 head a try

Fitted for TSR2 Driver & 3 Wood on the w-end. Stunning looking clubs, gained a lot of distance, and have a classic feel to them which is hard to find when so many other brands put colours & graphics around their heads

I doubted you could get such even results with different heads but you did it. Excellent review guys.

Had a titleist demo day and these have quickly become the best lineup of clubs titleist has ever brought out. They are super fast off the face, forgiving, very attractive and of course long. I personally jumped in speed from ~158mph to over 170 consistently with the tsr3 from my callaway epic speed (165 being my previous ball speed record hitting 176 was shocking to me).

You guys are the best in the business … keep up the content … and thank you

For the average golfer whose swing speed is more like 95-100 mph with the driver the 3w is a luxury item because most of us just will not have the speed to consistently launch the ball off the fairway.

I think a more interesting test for the average golfer would be Mike testing the 5w in TSR2 & TSR3 or as they also both come in 16.5 degree lofts which is a 4w, Mike tests the 4 woods

Mid handicapper - tried the TSR 2 and Ping G425 Max 3 wood today, walked away with the Ping but may change my mind. Not sure about the TSR glossy finish in real world conditions as they were glare-y indoors with fluorescent lights.

Decision factor was the G425 being easy to swing after a couple dozen shots and the forgiveness. The sound is kind of obnoxious though. TSR 2 came in really close but it just felt a smidge heavier to swing after a couple dozen shots.

Got 12 clubs in the bag now, looking to improve my swing a bit then visiting TXG for a proper fitting 😁!

Great job guys!!! Going to get fitted next week so loved the info.

[deewomack]

Have been playing 3 wood…TSi 3 and 5 wood that’s TSi2. Love them both, but really wish I had gone TSi2 in 3w. The TSi 2 is just so easy to hit off the ground. Absolutely love it.

Guessing TSR 2/3 will be even better. Great video gents.

[MichaelM-tosg]

Titleist appears to have hit it ‘out of the park’ with new TSR lineup, driver & fw clubs.

I love my TSi3 3-wood so much, I doubt I’d upgrade. The TSR 3/4 driver are both very much on my demo list. The one question I’d love to see you demonstrate before weather turns up your way, how do these clubs perform in first cut and shallow rough? That larger body TSR2 struggle w/turf interaction on less than ideal short turf? I also find it interesting you had a better, at least marginally, smash factor or efficiency w/TSR2 despite it being a higher loft setting. That flies in face of what we would normally expect. Any reason you think for this?

Nice demo gentlemen

[corylazart]

Do you have any plans on doing a comparison of the TSR fairways against the previous generation TSi fairways?

[manskavewoodworking]

Might be a noob question but how is the Tsr3 at 14.25 (D1) and the TSR2 at 15 (with the same d1) setting? shouldn't they both be at 14.25 using the loft sleeve?

[jacobmccain]

I hit the TSR2 5 wood the other day and found it very impressive. But not quite good enough to kick the G425 Max out of the bag. I need the extra spin.

[troyrambo]

This is the first time since the late 90's I am actually interested in any Titleist fairway wood. My club fitter friend was fitted with TSR3 4 wood with that same shaft Ian is hitting and it's a pretty darn nice looking club, I have to admit.

[ryang]

I went and got fit for the new titleist driver and fairway wood. I ended up with the TSR 3 driver. Even though I loved the look of the fairways, I actually got fit for stealth plus instead.
For me the 3 stand out fairways were Stealth +, Srixon, and cobra.

[jvelez]

I have the TSR3 13.5 on the way. Tour Design UB shaft. Gamed the TSi3 wood and it was by far my favorite club in the bag. Absolute rocket offering super ball speed and stability. 👍💪💪💯💯🔥🙏🙏

[cactusjackaz]

Did Ian mention the final length of the clubs? I think he was fit into 42"? I need to go watch the other video.

[Peccs]

Custom ordered TSR2 7 wood, just hope it comes in before season is over! So excited to try it out. I love playing fairway woods, have tried hybrids and utility irons and just can get them to work for me.

[ryanrichardson]

I have the driver and 15 in the TSR2. The biggest difference for me is the lack of loss on off center hits. I picked up 14 yards of carry between the TSR2 and my old Stealth.

[Longarmshortarm]

How do TSR fairways do against the Stealths? I recall you guys saying “it’s not a fair fight” - saying the stealth fairways were head and shoulders above the others.
