Meet The New Titleist TSR Driver
FIND YOUR FASTER
This years tag line from Titleist is ‘find your faster’ as they have worked hard to increase ball speeds with their new driver on the market. Meet TSR.
With new face technology and aerodynamic features, Titleist have found speed without hurting performance.
Evolving from TSi, Titleist have introduced 3 new heads, featuring the TSR2, TSR3 and TSR4.
All looking for faster, longer and straighter ball flights through an improved aero dynamic look and advanced face technology.
TSR 2 and 4 feature variable face thickness , which allows for a thicker centre spot with a thinner perimeter, allowing for increased ball speeds in any location of the face. While the TSR3 offers ring variable thickness. This is centred more around precision, with better golfers benefitting from centre face strikes.
WHAT DOES R STAND FOR?
At its core, the ‘R’ in TSR stands for refined. A declaration of TSR as the ultimate expression of the Titleist speed project. It could equally stand for the repeatable distance TSR provides with speed that shows up on every swing. Or reputation, for the legacy TSR builds on as the latest in a Titleist driver line that has
been #1 on tour for three years running. However, what matters most is that TSR is the right driver for more players than ever.” ~ Titleist
Each head is slightly different in size and appearance, to showcase a driver for every player.
- TSR2 has the biggest head with an elongated profile for more speed and forgiveness.
- TSR3 is built for precision, with the COG position for optimal ball speeds from players who can offer repeatable centred strikes.
- TSR4 is the lowest spinning driver with a weight track to alter MOI and effect the spin.
In comparison to TSi, there are increased ball speeds through the aerodynamic improvements and better placed COG for optimal speed. Our very own AFGolfStore, Titleist ambassador, Ollie Fullerton saw the results for himself as they he was fitted at the Titleist national fitting centre.

OUR VERDICT
Our fitting at the national fitting centre was a fantastic eye opener to the product and the changes made since TSi.
The three heads all gave impressive results, speed being the obvious improvement. And with 5 shafts to work with it was great to narrow down to the one that gave each player their optimal performance, i.e. longer, straighter, faster shots.
Every player will find a spec to help their game, as the beauty of modern technology is that each new model now comes with a variety of options, from head shape multiple shaft choices.
It is a must try!
