Titleist TSR2 Vs Titleist TSR3 Driver Comparison Overview

Titleist TSR2 Vs Titleist TSR3 Driver

The new TSR line of drivers from Titleist has a lot of golfers chomping at the bit to get fitted.

But before you schedule a fitting, it will help to do your research.

The Titleist TSR3 and the Titleist TSR2 drivers are similar in a lot of respects; but there are some key differences you should know about.

In the following comparison overview, we have condensed the most important performance features of both of these drivers to give you a clearer picture on which would be best for your game. Let’s get into it!

Titleist TSR2 Driver Overview

Titleist TSR2 Driver

“Unlike the Titleist TSR3, the Titleist TSR2 driver does not have a moveable weight.”

Instead, the weight of the Titleist TSR2 has been fixed low and forward in the head. This achieves two flight aspects.

One: it neutralizes spin by a significant amount. Two: it promotes higher launch.

This is an interesting combo and it’s one that we found is especially beneficial for higher handicap players.

The Titleist TSR2 launches high and gives you at least adequate hang time and carry distance. Meanwhile the mid spin rates help boost your ball speed for more overall distance.

The face has also been designed to be incredibly forgiving. In fact, having tested the entire new TSR line, we would say that the Titleist TSR2 is the most forgiving of the bunch.

Titleist TSR3 Driver Overview

“The Titleist TSR3 is definitely for more accurate players looking to put precise force behind their strikes.”

The CG of the Titleist TSR3 can be adjusted into 5 positions via the sliding weight. This allows you to custom-position max force depending on where you usually like to make contact.

The face of the Titleist TSR3 is also made of aerospace titanium so it flexes and rebounds quite nicely. The profile of the Titleist TSR3 isn’t at all chunky.

It’s got a nice player’s look at address which again, will appeal to better players. The launch was pretty low and spin rates were hovering around 2500 RPMs on average for our testers.

“If you are hanging around in the 10-15 handicap range, the Titleist TSR2 would be the more beneficial driver to get fitted for.

It caters to players with slower swing speeds and less consistent striking. The Titleist TSR3 is the better driver for players with fast swing speeds seeking penetrating flight.”

The Titleist TSR2 Driver First Impressions

The first thing to notice about this club is head shaping. Titleist have gone for a more classic look in the most stable and forgiving offering in the TSR Range.

That means a Boat Trail at the trailing edge of the club and a rounder smooth curvature that Titleist Traditionalists will love, it looks like a Titleist driver.

All the frills have been removed from the sole of the club and the result again is more minimalist and clean.

Multi Plateau Variable Face Thickness allows this club to be extremely consistent in regard to ball speed and direction. It’s got an incredibly thin face in the middle with strategically thicker areas to the side.

This results in consistent ball speed and flight path when hit in common miss locations on the face.

This ensures that the TSR2 is the ‘Max’ version of this series and will suit players who struggle to hit the sweet spot every time.

This driver produces more club head speed, ball speed, and carry distance than the TSi2. It also has less spin, a lower launch angle, and more consistency resulting in an excellent new driver overall for Titleist.

The club has plenty of options for adjustments too, you can adjust the lie and loft independently with the club lofts running from 8 degrees to 11.

The TSR2 is certainly an upgrade on the TSi2 for us and is a club that will suit both tour and amateur players this season.

The Titleist TSR3 Driver First Impressions

When you see the TSR3, your first impression might be that it looks very similar to the preceding TSi3 driver which was game by a ton of tour professionals over the past couple of years.

If you thought that, then you wouldn’t be wrong. The TSR3 sets out to ‘Refine’ the TSi3 without building an entirely new club.

The incremental improvements have been enough to get tour players already wielding the theTSR3 but it remains to be seen whether regular golfers will find it necessary to upgrade to the TSR3 from the TSi3 and in most cases, they probably wouldn’t need to.

The driver has improved on the aerodynamics with the boat trail at the back housing the tungsten weight which can be easily adjusted to your swing style.

The loft and lie can both also be easily adjusted to suit your swing or the course you are playing that day.

The Speed Ring VFT is forgiving on miss hits but when you catch the ball flush on the sweet spot, the ball will fly like a Tesla rocket ship.

All extras have been stripped to reduce weight and drag. The aerospace-grade titanium produces and epic sound and feel.

Another thing to note would be that while Taylormade have gone for Carbon based solutions and vowed never to return to Titanium, Titleist still continue to use Titanium in their drivers.

Overall the club is very confidence-inspiring at the tee box.

Who Is The TSR2 Driver For

The TSR2 Driver is going to suit all golfers from Tour Professionals, to those trying to improve their handicap with longer, more consistent shots.

The TSR range is probably not going to be a good bet for a high handicapper unless they want to fork out substantial money for this amazing club in place of something second hand or less expensive.

That being said, the TSR2 is aimed at the player who struggles to hit the center of the club face consistently.

If you are a High to Mid Handicapper, this driver is likely to bring optimal consistency to your game, especially when dialled into your own personal swing dynamics.

This is a premium club for those who want the very best performance from their driver.

The club is high launching and with low spin for those that that will suit.

If you have a slice or hook, the VFT and inviting face may have a lot to offer your game.

This is also for golf who want to impress their friends and golf mates with an epic driver from the tour players’ favorite brand.

Titleist was disappointed that Tour players were not using the TSi2 and this big improvement should get more of the biggest names in golf wielding the club in the coming seasons.

The TSR Family Of Drivers

The TSR is the most accurate and forgiving of the clubs and is available now.

The TSR1 is the lightweight, further stripped down version with a lighter shaft and higher loft for seniors and those with slower swing speeds.

Who Is The TSR3 Driver For?

The TSR3 is the most tour-preferred driver out of the 4 on offer in the TSR range.

The driver is long, fast and consistent and you can really dial the club in to your own specific swing.

The better players will love to fine tune the performance of the TSR3 at a driver fitting and the performance of the TSR3 is going to get the sales.

It doesn’t have the flamboyant looks of the Taylormade Stealth or a Cobra driver but when you get to the Tee Box, the TSR3 is one of the best performing drivers ever produced.

the face is confidence inspiring and the sound and feel make you want to hit the club again and again.

The driver will best suit players who can hit the sweet spot more often than not but it has to forgiveness to make it gameable for mid handicappers and upwards.

If you’ve got the money to splash out on a premium driver and hit the ball well, the TSR3 should be high on your list of potential new clubs.

The Titleist TSR Family of Drivers

There are 4 clubs in the TSR family with the lightweight TSR1 not coming out until early 2023.

The TSR2 is the max version with a good deal of forgiveness coming from the Multi Plateau VFT. This will suit beginners most favorably but can also be used by mid to low-handicappers.

The TSR4 is the most configurable of the drivers, you can dial it into to your exact swing easily but it sacrifices a little bit of speed in doing so. This one is for the shot placers.
