cael ffyrddag nine one five nine one seven expected the next release of drivers to be in 2019 but that's not the case and the TS two and three are the clubs that we will be looking at today let's have a quick look before we go any further at this let's get a bit of a close-up we'll talk about what I think of the looks in a minute but that's the TS three at least anyway um so yeah first of all I think the question I'm asking is why is the TS three being released why is there being a break in the cycle what is the logic in that from titleist perspectives we'll soon going to find out first of all let's talk about what is in the TS two and the TS three in terms of how they differ how they're aimed different perhaps different golfers and the way I've been explained first of all let me tell you I met up with Fraser from titleist is a product specialist we spent an hour or so first in foremost this is mega mega important is that I got fitted for this driver um and there was huge variations in terms of performance from where we started in terms of shafted in terms of setup in terms of waiting in the TS three in particular in terms of where we started and where we ended up so I think that's a key message with this driver as it all as it is with all drivers you have to get custom fit so TS two very much aimed I would think perhaps in its setup the most forgiving out the two drivers cg well and truly as far back as possible all awake strip back as with every driver at the moment that's all I'm trying to do in these kind of things and all the aim is on forgiveness but not forgiving on ball speeds and overall distance and performance that's what TS two does TS three so that's for somebody maybe who's got a bit of a variable strike pattern hit it in and around all over the clubface and I think that was the camp that I certainly thought that I would fit into when we first sat down we then look at the TS three and the TS three is again both 460 heads on these by the way the TS three slightly different in the um I think in where it's aimed that they might want to say that it's aimed at different markets but somebody who's got a more consistent strike pattern and not necessarily out of the middle either because of the way in which the waiting system works and how we're allowed to move the waiting round um for me for example what we ended up doing was a lot of my strike pattern came out centre to toe area and we ended up moving the weight more to the toe area placing that CG more directly behind my consistent strike pattern even though it not being out of the centre and again it made mass differences in terms of the overall performance and that was nice to see and we'll see that in the numbers again shortly but before we go any further I think what we've got to do is talk about as we always do it's about looks on these golf clubs so here's a few images of the TS three alongside me now and I think you've got to draw parallels to the nine one seven and make reference back to the nine one seven so I think one of the major things here is how much different the TS three looks from the nine one seven because the nine one seven in effect looked very very similar to me to the nine one five and they kept in very much a repeated pattern of each of those releases whereas the TS three is very much a break from the norm from tight list and I've got to say a real change on a positive note as well it's a far cleaner looking club it's less complicated in my eyes it's a more modern looking golf club and it's been really stripped back and I think that's a first major box that this club ticks from tight list and obviously that's something they've worked hard on we then look at how this sits behind the ball and once again they've gone to the traditional gloss black finish which again is something I am much more comfortable with on the eye the gray and the sort of elongated sheep I think it was with the d2 in particular last time around on the nine one seven reason didn't suit my eye at all I wasn't keen in and all honestly I wasn't a great lover of the nine one seven range full stop and performance wise I've always struggled to get any great numbers out of tight list drivers in all honestly so this is a real interesting one for me but once again looking from the top of the ball which is the majority of positions you're going to see forget what it looks like underneath it looks really spot on meeting tidy no messing round and again ticks a box other big move for me notable move with this range is the shaft options that are being offered by tight list they've always been particularly associated with diamana shafts for many many years and I think what they've done here again is they've offered some stock options that are even flow we've got the 10 size shafts and we've got the hazardous smoke as standard options which again is much more in line with what the other manufacturers are offering and I think that again is a very very positive move from what tight list I've done so my setup what did I end up with well like I said for me it is key to make sure you get custom fit with any driver and I think that's certainly the case with the tight list as well lots of variations in terms of setup in the tight list driver and for me where we started from and ended up was quite differently but I'll throw up the spec in terms of the shaft that I ended up using in both of these two drivers when I hit finally got hitting some golf balls right so I ended up with a 10 side blue 55 gram stiff standard length 9.5 degrees aloft standard weight positioning obviously in the in the in the T2 TS2 that is and we stuck the weight position in the toe area in the TS3 so that's enough about how it looks like I haven't got interesting enough I've got no great tech spec to relay in terms of what tight list are claiming because they kept this very much under wraps so I've only got what I've had from discussions with Fraser from tight list but I've got nothing in front of me to relay back in terms of what tight list they're saying so it's very much a first look and I suppose what they say and what it actually does is the more key thing and that's what I'm going to find out shortly so I got in some golf balls and quite a lot to be fair of golf balls with both clubs I spent a lot of time on the TS3 because what I found out for me very very quickly is that at my performance was far greater with the TS3 than the TS2 and that was unexpected I fully expected to be more in the camp of the TS2 from the descriptions that were given of the two clubs and that wasn't the case and it's quite a big difference on number of levels in terms of the sound and feel of these clubs I think there is a difference between the two and again I was drawn towards the TS3 sound and feel I'd like to get out there on the course because I once again I think the acoustics inside of a driving range bay are quite different than when you tear it up outside in that wide space on a fairway but for me both far better sound and feel than the 9117 so there's straight away for me this I'm massively forward from the 9117 range it really is on a number of levels and we haven't even talked about performance yet and that's where we'll get to so like I said let's start off with the numbers that I achieved first of all on the TS2 and I'll throw these up on screen for you now right so like I said it I use the 10 size shaft in both of these clubhead speed 95 mile an hour 96 mile an hour almost 146 ball speed 2 9 spin which was a little bit high average 227 carry 252 overall and launching fairly low still at 9.8 now I think the first thing to note for me with the TS2 like I said is that it just I just didn't quite get on with it maybe again more and more time spent in tweaking this driver to get more performance out of it I don't know I found it even though it was supposed to my launch angle at 9.8 I was expecting the ball again to be much more of a kind of high launching driver again didn't really do that it did spin high it just didn't produce a numbers wise in and around sort of that 230 carry is okay without being great and I'm back to where I was really with the 9117 in terms of numbers so I quickly moved away from that and went on to the TS3 did spend the time in terms of setup in terms of the weight in particular because the strike pattern like I said was certainly sort of centre to toe area and moving the weight behind that area made a big difference to my performance which sometimes you know we question how much difference it makes in terms of these weighting options but it certainly did make a difference from my performance considerably I'll throw the numbers now on the TS3 and they're going to come up in two batches because I hit quite a number of shots and so the first batch I think is numbers one to ten why are we at now shot number five was a 245 carry almost 246 carry 266 almost 267 overall and then shot number two was 240 carry 266 shot number nine two three four 262 carry so you can see there pretty impressive numbers but if I then show you straight into shot 11 to 18 we've got some averages to work with now so 96.9 so 97 slightly quicker clubhead speed on this one ball speed 148.8 so we're starting to see some differences now still spinning quite high really to 8 to 24 you'd probably look to achieve want a better number and again that's about spending time getting custom fit and probably like to see that number drop a little but we got an overall carry a 236.2 and a 260 overall 10.2 launch now they're all as we know dry ball data they great to see it's a great way of mentioning performance and I think that putting them to one side for a minute I'll just tell you what I've seen out there in terms of the driving ranges of performance for me big difference between the two really enjoyed the performance of the TS3 TS2 okay didn't perform that great for me and once again I think that's I keep going on about it's the importance of the custom fit I love the feel out the TS3 and those numbers in and around that sort of 240 carry to 260 265 roll out getting that spin down a little is as good as I can hit to be honest with it is good as anything that I've hit in the last 12 months or so but I think my overall assessment would be this it's as good as anything I've hit over the last 12 months or so not better than and I think that's the big key for me I think that I mentioned at the beginning of this video why is this product been released out of sort of cycle and I think it's because Titlist are playing catch up with this they've felt behind in terms of performance for me in the driver and fairway market and I think what this does is it puts them very much back in the game Titlist is now these two products are very much an option when you're walking and looking at the major brands that you would normally consider I think now this is back in there as being an option whereas for me the 917 just wasn't an option it fell behind so when we talk about has performance changed or not changed for me the reason Titlist have brought this out is because performance has changed in other drivers it has moved on a little bit certainly in terms of MOI in terms of forgiveness and ball speeds across the clubface and I think that's what they've managed to achieve now but they've only achieved it in terms of catching up I don't think they've moved any anyway they haven't moved forward with this in terms of gaining any advantage but they've now put themselves back into a position where they become an option and they're back up there with what I consider to be the main players in terms of driver sales at the moment so overall really impressive product but only catching up with what's already out there and it'd be interesting to see where this goes to next and how TS2 and TS3 evolve what happens in terms of 919 interesting stuff from Titlist as you'd expect quality quality build great performance hope you enjoyed the review from the perspective of the average golfer I'll do some head-to-head videos on this one in the coming months and maybe maybe my opinion will change you knows be interesting to see like I said when we stick it up against some of those drivers have been talking about and we shall see anyway if you like
