Titleist released a pair of drivers two years ago, the TS2 and TS3, designed to be more aerodynamically efficient so golfers could create more speed and generate more distance off the tee. Now Titleist is releasing the next generation of TS drivers, the TSi2 and TSi3, and the company said they deliver even more speed while boosting stability.
TSi2: Distance with forgiveness

Available in 9-, 10- and 11-degree versions, the TSi2 is an all-titanium, 460-cc driver with a classic glossy-black crown and adjustable hosel mechanism. Golfers and fitters can independently increase or decrease the club’s stated loft by as many as 2 degrees.
What golfers can’t see are the subtle aerodynamic improvements Titleist has made with this upgraded driver. According to the company, it produces 15 percent less drag on the downswing than the TS2 it replaces – golfers can swing it faster with the same effort.

To take full advantage of that speed, Titleist has given the TSi2 a face made from ATI 425, a titanium alloy that can bend without breaking more than other titaniums used in golf. Previous applications for ATI 425 were in ballistic armor and the aerospace industry, including on NASA’s Mars lander, and Titleist said it is the only company using it in the golf industry.
The TSi2 is also designed to maximize forgiveness. More weight was moved to the back of the head to increase stability and encourage a higher launch angle.
A flat adjustable weight in the back of the sole is not designed to be removed by golfers. It allows fitters to tweak the swing weight more easily based on the club’s length and the golfer’s preferences.
At the same time, designers also worked to increase the moment of inertia, not only from heel to toe but also up and down. As a result, golfers can expect better performance on shots hit slightly high or low in the face.
TSi3: Distance with adjustability
Tsi Driver Release Date
The TSi3 is designed for players who want speed with shot-shaping maneuverability. (David Dusek/Golfweek)
The 460-cc TSi3 comes in 8-, 9- and 10-degree versions and has a classic pear shape, adjustable hosel and ATI 425 titanium alloy face like the TSi2.
The TSi3 has a deeper face, which is often preferred by golfers who like to shape the ball off the tee, and looks smaller at address than the TSi2.
The TSi3 has a weight track in the back of the sole. (David Dusek/Golfweek)
The biggest difference between it and the TSi2, however, is a moveable weight track in the back of the sole. The track has five settings. Affixing the weight into the H1 and H2 positions moves the center of gravity to encourage a draw. When the weight is in the T1 or T2 setting, the TSi3 has a fade bias. The N setting in the center stands for neutral.
Titleist said the advantage of having a weight-track system on the back of the head is to create a shot-shape bias without dramatically lowering the moment of inertia, so players are not sacrificing stability.
Titleist say their new TSi range features breakthrough face material, player-tuned aerodynamics, and exceptional speed performance. Hannah Holden takes a closer look
Finally, I can talk about the Titleist TSi drivers and fairway woods! I have used numerous Titleist woods over the years so I was super excited as soon as I heard about these.
Now I’m not sure you can call this a surprise launch given many Titleist players have been using them on tour in the past few weeks. Ian Poulter let the cat out of the bag with a stream of pictures on Instagram, and more recently we have seen Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick put these in play.
Titleist TSi drivers
Tsi Driver
It’s safe to say these drivers look spectacular from the simple gloss crown to the intricate detailing on the club face. But my favourite fact about the new TSi drivers? They’re made from the same metal as a ballistic missile and NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander. That’s some serious technology.
The new ATI 425 Aerospace Titanium face construction is the first of its kind in the golf industry. Titleist have added it to their line up as delivers superior strength, elasticity and durability versus the conventional titanium alloys.
As well as this new material we also see tweaks to the aerodynamics with new shaping to help the clubhead move faster though the air and reduce drag increase clubhead speed for greater ball speed and distance. I also really like the softer toe profiling at address which we see across both models.
OK, so TSi2 and 3. What’s the difference?
TSi2 is about maximum distance and forgiveness. It is exceptionally stable thanks to a high-MOI design giving you high launch and low spin.
On the other hand the TSi3 is more about dynamic distance, you’re still going to get that yardage but really this is about having more precise control. It also features a five-setting adjustability track so you can really get this set-up exactly how you want it. This offers more of a mid height launch but still with lower spin.
Available: November 12 (fittings from October 22)
RRP: £519 (Titleist TSi driver), £689 (Titleist TSi Premium driver)
Featured shafts: Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Black Dual-Core 5G (High launch and spin), Mitsubishi Tensei Av Raw Blue (Mid launch and spin), Hzrdus Smoke Black Rdx (Low-mid launch and spin) and Mitsubishi Tensei Av Raw White (Low launch and spin).
☑️ Same material as the NASA Mars Rover ☄️
☑️ New aerodynamic shaping 🚀
☑️ Seriously impressive performance 💥
Say hello to the new @Titleist TSi drivers 👀👇🏻https://t.co/42fpaKFQi5pic.twitter.com/DBVZabFRqv
Titleist TSi fairway woods
In the fairway woods the story is still increased speed with technology such as the active recoil channel 4.0 designed to drive up your ball speeds. This is done by allowing the face to flex slightly launching the ball with increased speed. We’ve also got high MOI for stability helped by a more compact geometry that allowed weight to be redistributed.

Again TSi2 is for max speed and forgiveness where 3 is offering more workability.
I’ve gone TSi2 in my driver and TSi3 in my fairway. Keep your eyes out for my full review next Wednesday!
Available: November 12 (fittings from October 22)
RRP: £279 (Titleist TSi fairway wood), £449 (Titleist TSi Premium fairway wood)
