Loved seeing this Ian. i can tell you it's been a game changer for me. Like Ronny I was playing the G410+ up until this, and having very good results with it accuracy wise, but no longer than the 400Max I had last year. Immediately out of the box the TS1, I gained 5 to 8 mph swing speed going from 83 to 84, up to 91 or 92. That's translated to a gain of about 12 to 15 yards. My smash factor has come down a bit as it is longer in length. But I still hit it straight enough that it hasn't lost much becasue of that. I listened to who you described a perfect fit for, someone who is accurate, but not long and has a bit of a fade bias. Hand raised that's me, and that's probably why it has worked so well for me. Love to see your still doing great work here!!
Great tidbit from Ian about a lighter head producing less MOI. A heavier head should resist twisting more than a lighter one, but I had not thought about it before.
I was fitted for TS2 (at TXG) last fall. I'm hitting 12% more fairways this year with slightly more distance overall and that's with the wet spring here in Southern Ontario. No need to even try the TS1 for me.
Customary insight for TXG, thanks! I was surprised at how much ball speed the TS2 was delivering for the speed of your client's swing. My G400 Max is barely a year old and has been very good to me, but between the new G410s, the TS2, and maybe one or two others, drivers just continue to get better and better.
I just moved into the TS2 and had the same experience with center strikes. I was down to the 410 and the TS2 and while I hit the 410 a bit longer, I was straighter with the TS2 and I consistently hit the center of the club face.
Love your videos. Have Ronnie, an average golfer, test the same clubs that Mattie tested using stock shafts, factory settings etc. This would give us average golfers a better idea on how the clubs perform. Post the average stats for each club side by side for and easy comparison. Thanks.
I would like to see the guy hitting the balls try the Cleveland HB Launcher and compare it with the TS1 and TS2. I replaced my Cobra F9 driver with the HB Launcher, and I have had a lot easier time hitting fairways on a consistent basis. I'm also hitting the Launcher just as far as the F9.
Can you put in a heavier back weight on that TS1 to bring the head weight up and use a counterbalanced shaft to keep the swing weight reasonable and get that head even more forgiving and higher launching and spinning than TS2?
For an odd moment there I thought that I had tuned in to a "Me and My Golf" vid by mistake before I realised that Ian & Rocket Ronny were in matching ensembles! Very nice, by the way!!!!!! PS Can you ask Ron whether he has any male relatives in Warrington, UK? An ex-colleague of mine is virtually a "doppelganger" of Ronny right down to the beard.
Yet again another objective informative product explanation and demonstration from TXG. Hopefully TS2 owners can relax now. New format? Ian & Ron in team "colours", Matty the ref.? 😊
Love watching your channel it amazes me when you change the club head or a shaft or moving weight around the difference it makes all this convinces me to get a custom fit oneday I just might have to travel from Florida to Ontario to do that
so this driver made ian think about ron on release, but it was clearly not for ron. i wonder whether that’s a good reason why getting fit is so important, or whether the driver is not performing as advertised?
Hey guys. I would have thought Ron's 5 degrees up swing path and 12 degree launch angle would have delivered more height (and hence distance) than it seems to. Is that a factor of the very low spin rates he is producing, or merely ball speed?
Thank you guys about thinking slower swing speed test. It is fun to see Matt swing, but it does not represent most of the players out there. About the test, I was surprised how low the spin was in your fitting for Ron. I though this kind of swing speed (90 ish Mph) would need more spin and launch angle to get a better distance in carry and total. Ian can you explain please?
Will adding 3 grams of head weight slow the swing speed significantly enough to make a distance difference or would it be offset by club head awareness for better contact? Thanks for your great content.
Hmmm. Tricky video to watch. Matt asks the core question at 15:20ish : who is it for and then comes the solution and expertise from experience explanation.
I hate when people get upset over the line expansion, if you needed a super low spin driver when you got a TS3, you would’ve gotten an epic flash SZ, and if you needed something more forgiving when you got a TS2, you would’ve gotten a G410 Plus.
Mike Eastridge I was just watching this video today and he was carrying it 205 rolling out to 235 and not sure that’s realistic until only the hot, dry summer months.
Changing CG with weight placement won't really influence your strike location, it will just shift how that strike behaves. Moving the 410 weight to the draw position will actually make your toe strikes draw more, which is likely not what you want.
Stamped 10.5 and it’s 11.5, wait what? Kinda confusing, what is real maybe TXG Channel is only computer animation, is Ian real is Matty real? Sorry makes me want to stick pin in my eye, and that folks is why you subscribe to TXG. Thanks TXG and Ron appreciate your time and effort as always 👍 #golfisamatrix
So I'm only playing for 4 years and looking for a driver, but for 110 m / h and not 90. Will I look for other testers. Only looked at until 6 min. Ciao (If you want to buy an F1 car, I can test it for you, I do not know, but I can do it for you.)
TS1 is a beast like a wild horse that needs taming…… once you find your comfort level the TS1 will deliver great distances and straighter shots….. it will take some time to adjust to it
Scott Timmins nope. I respect these guys a ton. Yet if you are going to review the club, and the guy you have doing this, doesn’t mean who Titleist designed it for, that could be a problem.
@@ryang1910 the guys swings it's between 85 and 90. You won't get much closer. Ron's delivery and personal feels work better with a head that is heavier, which in turn helped him feel the head, in turn had a more consistent strike. If you told him to swing between 80 and 85, I'm sure the results would be the same
Would you put more charts and figures, numbers(distance) comparison?......So people from non-English speaking countries can understand easily....Thank you very much.
So ironic Titleist getting grief for arguably doing what Callaway and TM have been doing for years. Undeserved grief I might add. Rick Shiels in particular really annoyed me with his comment on the matter. Glad to see Titleist bringing decent drivers to game.
TaylorMade and Callaway do it differently. And TaylorMade don't have this many current drivers. TaylorMade release every 12 months and then older models aren't current any more. Callaway release every 12 months but the previous year's drivers stay "current" so really they end up with the most "current" drivers out, if you look at it that way. Ping were the only ones recently, until Titleist did it, to release other drivers of the same family, within it's "current" cycle.

Love the explanation of differences between the 2 drivers. Ron has keen eyes for details and numbers. Well done 👍

Where in southern Ontario are you? I'm from Toronto and let me tell you my spring was very soggy as well😂

Thanks for making the connections with OEMs to get the newest models to test. I was curious about the TS1 but it's not available yet.

😆😆😆
@@clubchampionmedia I see Ron got the memo. Matty...what gives?

Thanx yall for yalls in depth videos . Broke my hand 2 weeks ago but looking forward to the come back
Great seeing this video again. Making the switch from Ping to Titleist . How is Marty these days. Any updates on his recovery?
Was there an attempt to put the TS2 shaft on the TS1 and vice-versa? I'm in Ronnie's ballpark
Can you put in a heavier back weight on that TS1 to bring the head weight up and use a counterbalanced shaft to keep the swing weight reasonable and get that head even more forgiving and higher launching and spinning than TS2?
Great subtle insights from Ian today especially regarding what impacts strike point/contact location
For an odd moment there I thought that I had tuned in to a "Me and My Golf" vid by mistake before I realised that Ian & Rocket Ronny were in matching ensembles! Very nice, by the way!!!!!!

😂👍⛳️
Why did Matt not wear the same shirt too? Attention to details boys! Great video.
I'm kinda glad this isn't MeAndMyGolf ....
With the TS2 it seems you were playing a half inch shorter. Would that length in TS1 not help with strike and swing weight?
I would love to see Matt hit the TS1. Great video.

Such good information and explained perfectly. You guys are the best hands down.
so this driver made ian think about ron on release, but it was clearly not for ron. i wonder whether that’s a good reason why getting fit is so important, or whether the driver is not performing as advertised?
What a great question about standard deviation!
Hey guys. I would have thought Ron's 5 degrees up swing path and 12 degree launch angle would have delivered more height (and hence distance) than it seems to. Is that a factor of the very low spin rates he is producing, or merely ball speed?

Yes, Matty you didn't read the memo re the matching Camo shirts
Will adding 3 grams of head weight slow the swing speed significantly enough to make a distance difference or would it be offset by club head awareness for better contact? Thanks for your great content.
Does Titiest make the TSi1 DRAW BIAS version?
Have you tested heavier shafts with the ts1 head to see any results?
TS1 kinda reminds me of the Callaway's Epic Star.
But not crazily over priced
Hey guys, what is your opinion on using a slightly heavier shaft in the TS1 head?
Hmmm. Tricky video to watch. Matt asks the core question at 15:20ish : who is it for and then comes the solution and expertise from experience explanation.

Great video lads very informative about 2 different heads and shaft weights cheers Peter
What is a normal rollout we should expect? Is 30 yards realistic when you get outside?
Mike Eastridge I was just watching this video today and he was carrying it 205 rolling out to 235 and not sure that’s realistic until only the hot, dry summer months.
Toeing my 410 set standard. Would setting to draw get closer to center?
Changing CG with weight placement won't really influence your strike location, it will just shift how that strike behaves. Moving the 410 weight to the draw position will actually make your toe strikes draw more, which is likely not what you want.

I can deal with the marketing hype, but to deliberately misrepresent lofts to address consumer bias goes a step too far. Thanks for the insight Ian.
So I'm only playing for 4 years and looking for a driver, but for 110 m / h and not 90. Will I look for other testers. Only looked at until 6 min. Ciao (If you want to buy an F1 car, I can test it for you, I do not know, but I can do it for you.)
Your synopsis is me! I hit most fairways with any driver but crave more distance! #TS1? .....
TS1 is a beast like a wild horse that needs taming…… once you find your comfort level the TS1 will deliver great distances and straighter shots….. it will take some time to adjust to it
As Colin Chapman (Lotus) said - “Add lightness” for more speed.
super vid, thanks for the info.
Ian and Ronnie with the shirts a little uncomfortable?
One of the problems is his club head speed. Ts1 is for under 85mph
You're going to try and tell one of the best fitters around where he went wrong?
Scott Timmins nope. I respect these guys a ton. Yet if you are going to review the club, and the guy you have doing this, doesn’t mean who Titleist designed it for, that could be a problem.
They say he is Mr. TS1 but his swing speed is over 5 mph over what it was designed for, that isn’t really the case
@@ryang1910 the guys swings it's between 85 and 90. You won't get much closer.

He isn’t under 85. That is why ts2 was the better fit

My eyes kept getting drawn to the thread hanging down from the collar button on Ian's shirt
i would give this a shot if it came in 8.5
