TAYLORMADE STEALTH+ vs NEW TITLEIST TSR3 DRIVER TEST!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- ► This is the big one - TaylorMade Stealth Plus versus the brand new Titleist TSR3, titanium versus carbon fibre, Rory McIlroy’s driver up against Justin Thomas’ driver. However you want to frame it, this is one of the most eagerly anticipated comparison tests of recent times and these two drivers will be among the top two contenders for the rest of the year among golfers looking to splash out on a new premium driver. But does one outperform the other? In this video, Joel Tadman hit custom fitted set ups for both indoors on a premium launch monitor and then on the golf course at Peterborough Milton golf club to find out exactly that. So get comfortable, strap yourself in and enjoy!

At the end of the day it depends if you are a Taylormade or a Titleist fan
I use to be a fan boy for ping but I stopped carrying. I want what work best for me. I have tsr3 driver, Callaway fairway and hybrid, ping irons and Cleveland wedges now. And a cobra putter to put a stamp on it 🤣
My experience agrees. The Titleist is more consistent.
I own the Stealth Plus and the TSR2. Dispersion with the TSR2 and a correctly fitted shaft outside with Trackman indicated it is about 5 to 10 yards longer than the Stealth Plus. The six shots hit with the TSR all fell within a 6 yard diameter circle. The Stealth Plus shots were in a oblong about 20 yards wide. And I was fitted for the Stealth Plus this past February when I bought it.
Amazing how many times I’ve seen Stealth reviews where the clubhead speed is faster than its competitors. Same thing against Callaway Rogue ST. So I think it’s pretty clear it doesn’t get its extra ball speed directly because of the carbon face. But whether it’s lighter because of the use of carbon, or has superior aerodynamics due to the “inertia generator”, or a combination of the two, the clubhead definitely moves quicker in most people’s hands. And this is a good thing, because the faces are all maxxed out for speed off the centre anyway, so only way to legally increase ball speeds off the club is to swing it faster (assuming launch and spin are in the right window). But, on the flip side, I’ve also lost count of the number of reviewers who were wayward with it; where it’s great out of the middle on pure strikes but definitely less forgiving on the off centre ones. Interesting….
I think the difference between the drivers comes down to Stealth Plus having the weight near the face. The forward weight helps reduce spin which in conjunction with higher launch gave more carry than TSR3. One of the downsides of the forward weight is it reduces forgiveness too. A 10° Stealth Plus head vs the 9° used in the rest would probably spin more and fly straighter but would lose a few yards carry.
Taylormade fan but switching for the tsr3 right here 👋 the dispersion for me is so tight and just as long as the stealth.
But i prefer the feel of the titleist!
Extra length vs tighter dispersion....like you said it depends on the course and how tight the fairways are and how badly you are punished for missing the fairways. Also the ball you normally use will obviously make a difference, higher spin ball + the Stealth, and a lower spin ball + the TSR would probably be the best combinations.
I’m getting fit today. I have a stealth with a premium Accra shaft. When i hit it, nothing better. When you slightly miss it, isn’t good. I’m looking at tsr 3. Where it wasn’t the longest i tested, it was super consistent
The taylormade was longer but you could argue the Titleist was a more functional flight at 2300 vs 2000 rpm. Wish this got mentioned more often because for most people 2000 spin is really dangerous because the toe becomes 1500-1700 which is just uncontrollable
i went stealth plus. 10.5 surprised me how easy it was to keep low when i needed too. but both are going to be A+. just depends on your day at the links
im a 1-3 cap with most drivers, with stealth plus i was a 10, with various shafts. i couldnt stand it. currently using taylormade mini driver and i love it...
Great video. I just bought a TSR3 at my Country Club Demo Day...can hardly wait until it arrives. I hit the thing a TON compared to my Taylormade Rocketballz.
Good stuff! Hope to see some content focused on the TSR2+ 13 degree wood/the new fairway wood lineup as well! I’m interested in this whole Titleist lineup largely because the UB is an excellent fit for me in fairway woods - so getting it as one of their “stock premium” offerings for a smaller upcharge than other OEMs charge is nice.
Thanks for the great vid! My golf partner just got the TSR2. It goes deep...I have a SIM 2 9 degree. Think I'll keep this for a while. It also goes deep:)
There’s so much good stuff out there it makes my head spin. A proper fitting would be in order and live with the results. Both these 2 drivers are pretty good in the looks department though.
Watching various youtube vids like yours on testing... just for giggles swap the shafts just to see what happens. Put your TM shaft with the TSR3 head and vice versa. Just to see what happens. I bet you'd be surprised. But we may never know.
Would be a good test but i think he would have to get the tips changed over which would be a bit of a headache as dif brands have dif tips not as simple as just swapping then over
Tighter courses are older courses which also play a lot shorter in many cases so I use a Mini Driver instead that gives me about 260 yards and that’s plenty. Wider longer courses are more modern where a regular driver is needed and I carry the mini driver anyway as it can be hit off the deck easily and I sold my 3 wood.
The TSI3 I had sounded different just with shafts. With stiff tensei blue it was metallic ping sound.
With Tensei white X muted pop and more powerful feeling.
Lest ye forget , the stealth drivers are glued together , titleist drivers are welded . question ... would you buy a car thats glued together or one thats welded ?
SHAFT,, SHAFT,, SHAFT! You should always do your tests with the same shaft! That Graphite Design is a $365 shaft & that Rogue is $150 shaft
The VFT technology that the Titleist drivers are using isn't new. Callaway has been using VFT technology on their drivers in the early 2000s (Callaway Hawkeye VFT Driver).
Titleist just oozes quality
Is there a video of Neil Tappins TSR4 v Stealth Plus review?
Class vs trend
Why have you tested the plus v tsr3? They aren’t comparable, tsr3 has all the weight back and not made to be a low spinning all out distance driver like the stealth plus. The test should be the stealth plus v tsr4 which both have weight forward.
The big hitters on tour are using these clubs so maybe that's why it is a good comparison.
As others have commented.... you are comparing apples with oranges. Use the TSr4 with heavy weight at the front if you want to get the most accurate comparison

@@roddnelson1519 Without context here its an apples to oranges comparison. see Mike Laycock's response below which backs that up.
Yes I got that part the weighting system is different and thus the spin and flight. My point no one to my knowledge is using the TSr 4 on tour. Tiger, Rory on team Taylor Made and Justin Thomas, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Jordan Spieth on team Titleist. for example.
I love the TSR3 but hate the standard grip it comes with. Does anyone know how to buy the Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid 360 (specifically the 360)? Lamkin has the 360 on their website and I have it on another driver and love the grip. I can find all kinds of retailers where I can buy the branded down the grip version, but not the 360. I'm almost ready to give in and order the branded version, but thought I would try reaching out here first and see if anyone knows where I can order the 360. Thanks.
Too bad this wasn't a true comparison, with same shaft/loft settings
Just go for whatever works for you. I like titleist but doesn’t mean I would favour that over other brands. Go for what you like for looks, feel and performance over brand “loyalty”.
I’ll take consistent accuracy over minor gains any day. 6 extra yards isn’t worth anything if you’re constantly in the rough.
Thank you for an honest review!
Titleist was 10 TM was 9. Extra spin reduced dispersion and slightly shorter. Contrary to popular belief 2000 spin is not enough for most people.
Just shot my personal best with TSr3 so I can attest to the consistency. And it's long. Well done, Titleist. Looking forward to all the fun golf in the two years until the TSz3 is released. 😅
are you a pro have 107 swing speed wit my driver but only goes 230 on garmin g80 could this be wrong
Titelst TSR 3..Brava BGT R-50 Shaft..Jumbomax UL grip. length 45.25 " Weapon of mass destruction !!
Just got the tsr3, def much more control with the golf ball than any driver I’ve ever had
I've got a LA Golf Blue AXS 70 shaft in my Taylormade Stealth Plus driver and I hit bombs on a frozen rope with it.
I've played around with other shafts in it I've already got like the Hazardous Smoke Black and ProForce V2 and none of them keep the dispersion as tight as the LA Golf shaft. I think it's about finding the right package for the individual with the Stealth and that probably goes for most big sticks these days.
May be one shaft is more adapted to you than the other? Heads, at the end is very close… may be be too close to see any difference for most people…
Stealth favors the heel side big time at address. Kind of a turn off but still a good performer.
You better pick that Titleist! Nice shirt and shoes as well! 🤣🤙🏻
2y more distance to put 50 pct more balls in the rough. Sounds like a good trade to me. ???
Great review as always and very fair. TSR is average at best and I am going to wait till the spring until the new Stealth2 and Apex drivers come out. Nothing to really see here with Titleist.
I’m sure that’s why Titleist is the most played driver on the PGA Tours…..even a few pros sponsored by other manufacturers. Cheers
Not even a fair comparison, the tsr3 isn’t the low spin driver, the tsr4 is the driver with weight forward in the head so not sure why they didn’t test like for like.
Lmao trendy shit like taylor made or pure class like titleist. Guess I know what type of dude you are.
And earlier this year, reviews on Tsi3 against Stealth+ showed no real difference 😂
Im partial to Titleist
Should have been fitted for both to be fair.
The goal is always the longest and straightest driver, period! Go figure, get fitted.
It looks like your site has been hacked. Fix this mate
That’s why I don’t like indoor club fitting
Titleist all day every day.. TM Stealth have durability issues
Mines ok and I've been pounding it since the day it launched. And I mean pounding it 🙂
@@chrissellings I agree put it through its paces as have my mates, not one issue
SMH 🙄
Hang on, you're sponsored by Titleist, are bedecked in Footjoy gear and, despite you having better results with the Stealth, favour the Titleist? Funny that - not!!! Oh for Golf Monthly to do unbiased reviews!!!
Youve got two different shafts. The video is useless.
Titleist all day
I have the TSI3
Best driver ever owned
So consistent
🏌️♂️
Same. And it's more beautiful than anything taylor made has ever even dreamt of.
