Titleist TS2 Driver VS Titleist 917 D2 - Is New Better Than Old?

I put the brand new Titleist Ts2 Driver up against the 917 D2 Driver head to head style to see if the new model is better, longer than it's old version!

Michael you're really the best when it comes to club reviews, thanks for being honest and you're not trying to sell anything so it makes us viewers feel comfortable with you

[andersborum]

Michael, a good advice is to try and get the launch video stream to your editor, such that you don't have video the video (with all the artifacts etc. that comes from that approach). It'll give your viewers a much more stable picture to read numbers off. Aside from that, good stuff as always.

Just tried the TS2. Was fitted for my first driver 8 months ago and titleist D2 917 suited me. I’m a 5 yr golfer 54yr old 14 hcp. 5 shots with TS2 showed slightly further distance but a lot straighter! Maybe my next purchase when price drops

[richardsdiaz]

I have a 917D2 and I had a chance to try the new TS drivers this week! I could feel the difference, especially on poor strikes. Just didn’t seem to lose much on heel or toe strikes with the TS drivers.

Pretty sure I’m buying one soon. A little more testing is needed to be sure.

Michael great review with comparison details to support the outcome. Inadvertantly I did likewise trying out the new TS2 v a D917 D2 on trackman and found similar (shorter distance as an amateur) results. Higher launch angle with the TS2 with slightly lower spin rates. Interesting I too found the hitting experience with the T2 to be more enjoyable which I believe added to consistency.

I just purchased 917D2 for a $100 on Global golf, so according to the nmbrs it was worth it, 6 yard difference? Nah, TS not worth another $400, glad I watched this vid.

[mikenorthern]

Would change simply for the looks and the sound plus it gives you 4-5 extra yards I believe the new driver will be worth it

[gregcrezee]

The joy I get is the whole #'s thing. Although let's be honest and factual. No matter what the #'s are. Ya need to go out and make the club perform. And that comes down to one thing... a consistent golf swing! Which for 99.5% we don't have that. That's why we watch the guys on TV. And are not playing in the tournament. Clubs are obviously important. Confidence, playability, etc.etc. But the gear only takes you so far. It's the Indian, not the arrow that allows you to rise to the top. Thanks for the vid.

[ryanesposito]

so your difference in distance was your draw vs. your fade. = Clubs perform no differently.

[plag]

very similar results, saw almost the same results from others, only real difference is teh TS2 is slightly lower spinning, if you are already a low spin player you probably wont see much difference at least not for $500

[jessetraskal]

Theres only 2 yards difference from longest to shortest carry with ts2 where it was 13 yards with 917... big advantage for ts2

Top video Mike
Thanks for posting
Will be testing myself soon

[blair-]

Nice vid keep up the good work and ur seem to be improving with days going past

[jergernice]

ive found gc2 does not like higher launch. i believe the delta between the 2 is greater outside. i like gc2 as a simulator not as much for fitting...

[gregorywalker]

the ts model drivers remind me very much of the cleveland/srixon drivers (favorites). going to try the ts2 and ts3 models with that marvelous titleist adjustable hosel. might try both in the bag for shot flighting.

[joeplichter]

I need to go in for a fitting and compare to my current gamer. Still not sure I want to spend 500 and give up my 915d2 that is still good enough for Spieth...

Why don’t they just say TS2 is more forgiving and consistent?

Looking at your numbers for longest:

TS2 308
917 305
917 304
TS2 303

If you did the test again you might actually hit 917 longer. Max potential distance is limited by USGA right?

[gregorysantilli]

How about testing these drivers with X100 shafts?

[samslade]

Looked like the difference was the new shaft

[thomasross]

Were the heads static weight the same? The shaft you are using is 45 inches, right? This head looks like 915 d-3. The 915 was 5-10 yards longer from testing I have seen compared to 917 d.

[jeffb.]

So you delete your worse shot with TS2 and your best shot with 917? Seems good
