THE TRUTH: Titleist TSR Driver vs TSi Driver vs TS Driver Comparison

I test the new Titleist TSR driver to discover the truth... is it ACTUALLY any better than the previous TSi and TS models? This hands-on review and driver comparison was carried out over several weeks in a number of different locations, and is based on the numbers measured from Foresight tech and my own experiences gaming the three drivers on the course.

Pete - I really appreciate you showing the face strike patterns. For most of us, who do not routinely hit the middle of the face, knowing a club performs well off center is a HUGE advantage.

Really happy to see you still doing videos on equipment. I like watching these even though I never buy anything.

This is really interesting. I bought the tsr3 thinking it would really create that extra ball speed for a little more distance, it made absolutely no difference in the yardage. My shots were also missing the center towards the heel. My TSI3 had a kuro kage 50g so I went with the hzrdous cb 50g, the TSR3 launched way lower than my TSI3. Which made me notice the weight on the TSR3 was slights heavier. Reduced the grams and ball strike got centered, launch came back and same with the carry. The only difference is of centered strikes on the TSR3 are slightly better, and (thats all).

This, along with most driver reviews over the last two years, does really leave you wondering what the next great development is going to be. TaylorMade have clearly tried to differentiate with the Carbon faced Stealth but it does feel like we have hit somewhat of a ceiling when it comes to drivers. I wonder if manufacturers have kind of accepted this and it will be with woods and hybrids that we see the really interesting concepts, especially as courses get longer and your average golfer needs more help for approach shots. Thanks for a helpful and genuine review!

Thank you for this review Pete. It helps me confirm that I'll be sticking with my TS3 driver

The TSR reminds me a lot of my 909d2, it’s super consistent and looks amazing behind the ball

[atxrich]

These new launches are primarily a sales/marketing story. Given USGA equipment limits, no OEM is going to provide a massive jump in club performance over previous generations. Where someone might see benefits is how much a club can maintain consistent performance in off center strikes. I’d love to see that comparison in the hands of a mid-handicapper that hits driver all over the club face— like me. 😂

Thanks for this review Peter. Playing the TS3 for a couple years you just saved me a couple hundred euro by buying a TSR. 🙏

Performance out of the middle is going to be almost the same, with every brand.... the stability and spin conditions on mishits on the Tsr are crazy good. A heel strike that should be spinning at 3k is spinning at 2300. Crazy good.

[fastg]

We hit the ceiling for drivers years ago. It boils down to 3 factors. Ball speed, launch angle, and spin rate period. There is no magic club or magic technology, not twist face, jailbreak, carbon this and that etc... Its all marketing hype to move product. If a player wants to increase distance then you need to optimize the 3 factors, once you’re at the redline you’re not going any further. Now there’s nothing wrong with wanting a newer model for something to look at, but the gains are minimal to none.

Love your honesty. I tried the TSr during prelaunch. Really no significant difference. I concur with you the TS3 is the better feeling one

[lindsaynewell]

Great review and comparison. After getting fitted into TSi2 in May 2021 the thing I’ve been most impressed with is consistency across the face. My strike is a lot more consistent which I attribute to loving the Tensei blue 55s shaft, but the head definitely forgives toe and heel strikes a lot more than anything else I tried.

Would love to see you, Rick, Matt and Andy play a round all using the same driver.

[jaseface]

Excellent video Pete you've just saved me £529, I'm sticking with my TS3 👍

[codybryant]

Thank you Pete for continuing to do these reviews… some of the other YouTubers have gotten too big to remember that this content really matters to us viewers, but I appreciate you allowing us to experience the latest technology without breaking the bank!

[troyrambo]

I find it funny that the results were that almost no differences at all for the last 5 years. That is pretty telling when you consider all the manuf claims of forgiveness increases, ball speed, spin, etc and all of them were basically the same.

[HatsWearCats]

I think something more to focus on is the performance of the stock x-flex shafts in each release. The new Tensei Black 1k is the best non-premium shaft I've used, paired with the TSr head, it feels amazing off the shelf for a regular golfer

[coreyelliott]

I love this video Pete. Would love to see you do this with Taylormade from M4, Sims, and Stealth and also Ping and their G series

[rlbjr]

Would be interesting to see what the #'s would be for the TS and TSi with the impact location similar to the original high heel location of the TSR.

[ambientgolf]

The bottom line is that with COR maxed out, any driver from the last few years will be very, very good. I always buy used and it's served me well.

[golfendeavor]

Wow, very surprised. Felt that TSi was fairly straight and long when I tested it but 5 years later I still have the TS3 in the bag and it will be staying for some time. Just can’t justify the 600£ for new shinny driver than I just need to ensure to hit the fairway with my old one
