I will still happily play my TSR3 and not spend a fortune upgrading to the GT lineup. The reality is that I’m just an amateur and I only hit my driver 12-14 times per round and each drive is 15 minutes apart. I demoed the GT3 and saw gains but that was because I was hitting driver after driver and able to fine tune my swing. When I’m out on the course it’s not like that I get one shot and have to wait again for the next hole before I swing it again. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
Disagree with why you saw gains. The head is more aerodynamic, so that would make the head speed faster. The weight is closer to the face, and that makes the smash factor better.
In common with many other manufacturers it looks like Titleist drivers have reached their peak with minimal performance gains from model to model. The TS series was the game changer everything since has very similar performance on normal hits
Great head to head. I was custom fit for TSR3 at your Delaware store last Fall and there’s just not enough performance gains in it for me to switch into the GT lineup. 5-10 years ago I’d run out and get the next driver in the series but not anymore. When I retire in 4 years I’ll make a move but it’s not happening anytime soon. Love my TSR3 definitely the best driver I’ve ever played with. Average 1.49 smash and about a 5-6 yard gain over my previous TSR2. It’s very forgiving and when I hit the sweet spot I’m driving it 260-270 yards with rollout. Average drive is 250 with rollout.
Got fit for the Titleist gt2 9deg with tensi black 6x 109 swing speed, was using stealth 2plus ventus blue velecore 6s 104 club head the X in Titleist increased club head speed and stopped my left miss , tired the Qi10 standard model and ls model but still had the left miss both monsters clubs but you can't play golf out of the trees left
Can we get a Jake rating system for clubs? Something like “The new GT3, 4 and a half mustaches on the Jake scale” You could do something similar for Kevin but with obscure movie references.
Zero difference in my testing - but the sound is better. I don't own the TSR3 but there are plenty out there still available. But the sound was cool enough on the GT series that I would choose the new model. Sound is important to me.
Honestly your reviews esp regarding Titleist clubs are doing a disservice to your name. Finding any and all ways to say GT is better. Horrible data presentation. Put the data from full swing in a table.
Clutching at straws in order to find/see any real differences....It's just an ongoing conveyor belt where makers need fresh money every 2 years. Not from me, sorry!!
This was a great idea but I just don't see how such a small sample size is telling the best story. IMO, hitting 10 with each, maybe doing 5 at a time then switching, would have been more scientific. I also would have shared all the data including dispersion and total yards.
Got fitted twice once with Titleist fitter and once at a BM. Saw nothing that made we switch from the TSR3

The TSR3 cost $600 when it came out.
@@kurtiscarr4438 And the gt3 cost near 700. For what maybe 3 to 5% gains for a tour pro

Those are some impressive numbers with the TSR3. Ultimately, everyone plays what suits there game and glad you found a driver that fits you!

This may be the greatest idea we've heard yet!

Yeah sound absolutely be considered, in addition with the data and feel to a club decision.
