EQUIPMENT: New Titleist TSR2, TSR2+ and TSR3 Fairways

To complement the new TSR driver lineup, the Titleist engineers knew they need to develop fairway woods that helped advance the next generation of the Titleist Speed Project.  Fortunately, the goals for what needed to be improved upon was clear:  Flight, Feel, Form and Forgiveness. Remaining true to those four F’s, the all-new lineup of Titleist TSR metalwoods now features three distinct models packed with technology and advanced refinements that can benefit every player.

Stephanie Luttrell, Director, Metalwood Development, Titleist, said:

“The new TSR fairway metals exemplify the newest advancements in metalwood technology and offer options for all golfers looking to gain an advantage off the tee and off the deck… Combined with its tour-inspired shaping and powerful sound and feel, the optimized performance of TSR fairways sets a new standard for the Titleist Speed Project.”

Available in golf shops on September 30th and for nationwide fittings beginning today, the Titleist TSR2, TSR2+, and TSR3 fairways are engineered to give every player an advantage with their metal wood setup.

Josh Talge, Vice President, Titleist Golf Club Marketing, said:

“Our number one goal was to optimize the CG (Center of Gravity), and it is now as low as it has ever been on a Titleist fairway metal… The lower the CG, the higher the launch. We want to get the weight down, so the golfer can get the ball up. By lowering the CG in each model through our Open Hosel Construction, we also improved the overall performance, including speed, launch angle, spin, flight, feel and forgiveness. Golfers want to see the golf ball get up in the air with their fairway metal, and with the new TSR we achieved that goal.”

All three of the new TSR fairways benefit from 3 highlight technologies:

• Open Hosel Construction: One of the key new features of TSR2, TSR2+ and TSR3 fairways is the Open Hosel Construction. Titleist engineers were able to remove excess weight found high and towards the heel of the clubhead, which allowed them to reposition weight and make improvements to essential areas of performance. In the TSR3 fairways, engineers utilized the Open Hosel Construction to shift the CG deeper and lower while simultaneously moving it closer to the center of the face. This change creates even more forgiveness and higher launch.
• Low, Face-Centered CG: Dramatic shifts in CG are constant throughout all three fairway offerings. The TSR2 features Titleist’s lowest ever CG for an all-steel construction, while the TSR2+ boasts the deepest CG of any Titleist fairway metal. The CG location is engineered for the specific needs of each fairway model, but all result in maximum levels of forgiveness, high launch, and speed.
• Player-Tuned Performance: Another commonality between TSR2, TSR2+, and TSR3 is the player-tuned performance. Implementing key feedback from tour professionals, every detail contained in the look, feel, and sound of TSR fairways has been scrutinized to deliver a metal wood that instills confidence in every player.

For golfers looking to dive deeper into the new TSR fairway lineup:

TSR2 — High, far, and forgiving, the TSR2 fairway features maximum forgiveness and the lowest CG of the TSR fairway metal line, resulting in fast speeds and a high ball flight without excessive spin.

• Adjustable swing weight, fixed CG location
• Designed to promote a high launch with mid-spin.
• Available lofts for Right-Hand Golfers: 15.0°, 16.5°, 18.0° and 21.0°; and Left-Hand Golfers: 15.0°, 16.5° and 18.0°

TSR2+ — Inspired by the wants and needs of some of the world’s top tour professionals, the TSR2+ fairway is a new addition to the TS fairway family, designed to be a long, forgiving, and tee-biased 3 wood that does not sacrifice playability off the deck.

• Built for the tee, TSR2+ has a larger profile, taller face and more forgiveness than TSR2, perfect for those seeking more length and accuracy from their 3-wood.
• Featuring the deepest CG location of any Titleist fairway metal, TSR2+ is engineered for maximum forgiveness and a straight, pure ball flight. Indeed, the TSR2+ was asked for by Tour Pros but is built to benefit all golfers looking for a long and straight option off the tee that is still extremely playable off the deck.
• Adjustable swing weight, fixed CG location.
• Designed to promote a mid/high launch with mid-spin
• Available lofts for both Right and Left-Hand Goflers: 13.0°

TSR3 — For players seeking precision-tuned performance, featuring a lower, deeper CG and a new-and-improved 5-position SureFit Adjustable CG Track System.

• The ultimate fairway metal when it comes to adjustability is designed with a new, easy-to-adjust 5-position SureFit Adjustable CG Track System to fine tune performance.
• Featuring the same Open Hosel Construction as TSR2 fairways, the TSR3’s CG has been positioned deeper, slightly lower, and closer to face center to provide easy, high launch with plenty of forgiveness.
• Everything from the look, sound, and feel of TSR3 encourages players to hit it square and long with total precision.
• Adjustable swing weight and CG location.
• Designed to promote a mid/high launch with low-spin
• Available lofts for Right-Hand Golfers: 13.5°, 15.0°, 16.5° and 18.0°; and Left-Hand Golfers: 15.0° and 16.5°
