    As Dale so politely reminded us buffalos, and he was 100% correct, that Lisa did post this very same question on the Ladies site, for our lady members. Now let'er rip tater chip as we say down here in the deep south. Let's hear your comments on the boys only comments subject section. No one else would set it up but the mouth of the south. As I always say guys, hakuna matata. Join us Dale. With deepest respect to all. Oh, ladies welcome. Southern gentlemen would never leave them out.

    Why do I play TSRs? Straight, high and very accurate. The TSR1s are so easy and forgiving. Purchased three in the past week. TSR1f 17*, TSR1h 20* and TSR1h 23* all with Fujikura speeder shafts. Bought then to accent my new T350 irons and new Cart 14 bag. Scottsdale, here I come. Hope a game follows me. The TSRs are the best hybrids I have ever hit. Went to see my favorite and our team got it right. =)

    The TSR-2 driver adjusted to me (shaft and length are not rack options) is the best performing driver I’ve had recently. Like the gen 2 T300’s, the next release will have to be dramatic to get me to switch. Alas, the gen 3 T series irons did that.
    I’ve had the -2 series of hybrids (or equivalent) for the last 12 years. I need a little more ease of launching and forgiveness. Had a chance to hit a TSR-1 hybrid and it looks like it is more than gradually evolutionary from my 818 hybrids. Didn’t see much difference in the subsequent-2 hybrids. Going for a fitting tomorrow to re-gap from my new irons and hopefully gain some accuracy to boot. Remains to be seen if the longest club before driver will be a hybrid or fairway. Haven’t been real consistent with the -2 fairways n the past.

    As a follow up, this won’t help most in this forum, but an acknowledgment that Titleist has worked to accommodate a wider circle of golfers. The T-series irons an now the TSR woods are meeting my game more than what I had at the start of this year.
    At 73, I’ve been losing ground to Father Time. The oldest club in my bag is/was an 818 H1 23 hybrid. It filled a niche but has become more inconsistent after being cherished for several years.
    The end result is ending up with a TSR-1 23 hybrid, TSR-1 7W, and a TSR-1 5W. The former 2 are achieving height in excess of 55 feet and restore a descent angle of 35+ degrees. While the 5W was a little flatter, it was still a 15 yard gap to the 7W to be useful for 2nd shots on par 5’s. My current 23-20 hybrids and 4W are consistently maxing height under 40 feet and inconsistent roll-outs.
    Looking forward to getting these for the Invitational. Hopefully they can be useful as scoring clubs. From the current hoping to get close clubs.

    I play the TSR3 because my school has a titleist account. It also helped that the TSR3 may just be the best thing I’ve ever hit, it just goes a mile and it’s surprisingly forgiving. I have it paired with a tour AD UB 7tx and I can’t see myself switching out of this for a long time.
  5. I was fit into a TSR4 with a very light shaft, and TSR2 4&7 woods with the same shaft. They were shipped last week, so I should have them sometime this week. I’m hitting my current driver well, and I expect great things from the TSR based on the results from my fitting.
  6. curious what your current driver was before the the TSR4? Currently play the TSi3, was fit into TSR3 but like the 4

    I've hit all the Top clubs, especially the drivers. They're all very good, although some are clunky to me, no names mentioned, but Rickie plays one of them. There are 2 I hit farther than my Titleist, 1 significantly farther. What can I say, I'm a Titleist guy! It's not all about distance, for me anyway, I have plenty.

    I’ve always bounced between Titleist & TM drivers depending on which benefit me better.
    I have about 15 years fitting experience for a few different companies.
    Every year or release I double check my numbers and see what works for me.
    I play titleist through the 917 model, then the TM M5 for years until recently where I dented the face near the toe. You couldn’t get that club out of my bag. It just found the fairway with the highest percentage.
    When I began testing to replace the M5 the TSR2 gave me the best numbers but I can’t stand to look at the head shape (even after the slim down) the TSR3 numbers were extremely close with about 3-5 yards dispersion difference. The feel is unmatched off the face, and distance is about the same to my old Trusty M5.

    To be clear Tm took care of me with a custom stealth in all matte black. Beautiful club. It was nice but it just didn’t have the same feel and to me that’s everything. I found that feel & confidence in the TSR3. So I sold the stealth and here I am, back to a 95% titleist bag.
    IMO Titleist made leaps and bounds in the driver market they always had great dispersion, true fairway finders. Now they have closed the gap with technology and surpassed some company’s in distance to become a standard in the distance conversation!
  10. Just got a TSR4 driver, TSR2 16.5 & TSR2 21 last week. The first range session was not good. The second was better. Today, I played a few holes in cold and windy conditions. The driver performed well, and the fairways were fantastic. On the last hole, I hit my drive well past my longest drive all year. They will be great additions to my bag. I have played Titleist balls for a very long time, but, outside of a putter, this is my first experience with Titleist clubs. Based on these clubs, Titleist will be my choice going forward.
  11. I just picked up Titleist TSr2 3 & 5 fairways, along with 4 & 5 hybrids. Best feeling, looking, performing clubs I’ve had in many years. I’m going to get fitted for a TSr driver sometime this winter and based on my last fitting I’m really looking forward to the experience. I want to try many shaft/head combos and very intrigued by the Graphite Design shafts in particular. So far I’m extremely satisfied with my Titleist clubs and looking forward to Florida this winter!

    Been using Titleist drivers for 20 years. Why change?

    I upgrade my driver, 3 wood, 5 wood and hybrid every cycle. If I am having a bad day, at least I cannot blame my equipment!
