After years watching golf videos Michael is my favorite reviewer.
Same here. He's the most informative and gets straight to the point. Helps me decide if the club is best for my game
Thanks 😊
Just bought a TSR 3 a month ago after playing the PXG 5 all I can say is WOW love my PXG 5 but the TSR just seems to go longer and longer and more controllable. I have test the stock Gen 4 smoke shaft and a Kai'li blue and a Tour AD DI 6 S/R the smoke just fits me so good
Great review Michael watch all ur reviews
John from the US in Ohio
I put my TSi3 up against the TSR3 and vertically the TSR was so consistent. Apart from some left and right the dispersion front to back was really good. TSi has a bigger gap. Hit 5 with the Paradym but it went back into the shop. Horrible feel. Just felt like the Rogue from last year with a new paint job.
After 20 years of being a TM fan I tried and Epic Speed switching from the Sim. I then purchased a used TSI2 and WOW! Currently have the TRS2 and its hands down the best driver I have ever hit...long, long , long. 270 yards all day long with a 100+ mph SS. Orgasmic when you hit the sweet spot...
I bought a Ping G425 at the end of 2020 and have really liked it. last year I was paired with a guy in a scramble and he had a Titlist driver. Not sure the model. I held it for a few moment and swung it a time or two and the feel was awesome. Definitely will keep it in mind down the road when in the market again.
Picked up my new Titleist clubs last week which I was fitted to a full bag fitting. Driver I was fitted to is a tsr2. I noticed instantly my carry was longer than on my stealth especially on off centre strikes and the sound of the driver is the greatest sound I’ve ever heard!!!!! Favourite club in the bag!
Mike, here’s an interesting one for you - could you put the Paradym up against your favourite of the two new Wilson Staff DYNAPWR drivers? Just as a most expensive (£599) vs relatively cheap (£349-399 depending on whether it’s the carbon or Ti model) head to head. Could be very interesting!
I noticed the same thing... with the paradym last week, had the 2-way miss going on, and with the tsr3 I had a 1-way miss. I went in fully expecting to buy the paradym, and it is good, but it was like I could not NOT hit the center of the clubface with the tsr3. one round in so far, and I love that thing! TSR3 for me!!
I’ve had two rounds with my TSR2 and I couldn’t be happier. Hitting the ball way more consistently than the Srixon ZX5 I had before. Also added a TSR3 16.5° fairway wood to the bag yesterday, which is a cracker of a club. Glad I went Titleist.
Cant go wrong. Their drivers are so consistent and been great every year since the 910. They just dont have all the hype the other brands do.
@@brettfrimmer6567 100% agree, I did the same as well, added the 16.5 and couldn't be happier
I jumped into the TSR3 in Oct after having just jumped into the latest Rogue about 6 weeks earlier (which was after playing TSi3 for over a year).. Rogue LS had lured me in with low spin bc TSi3 was slightly over spinny but it had been very accurate.. the shape of the rogue was very challenging for my eye on course and I had the two way miss Mike spoke of here.. as soon as I hit the TSR3 in a bay I almost fell over, unbelievable speed and forgiveness and I’m not the type to just say that.. it gave me incredible protection on my heel miss and the sound / feel is so solid.. any time I ever get away from titleist woods it’s for callaway they make GREAT products, but you owe it to yourself to try TSR the hype is real
Got a tsr2 I keep thinking of trying the 430!but every time I take the titleist out I just love it. Sound feel forgiveness. Love it.
I’ve demoed them back to back. Both plenty forgiving. TSR2 edges the 430 max a bit in distance and sound. Both good clubs. Enjoy your TSR2
@@brianpetersen6128 thanks. I am a dick about new gear and trying not to be 😂
Im in the same boat as you!
Did a fitting for Paradym... I couldn't get over how big the head looks and feels. Put some range work in on my TSR3 with LA Golf DJ shaft, dialed in loft and lie, and I fell back in love with it. It sounds and feels bettet than any driver I've ever hit.
Had a driver fitting Dec 2022 that included TM Stealth, Callaway Rogue ST, Titleist TSR2, Ping G425 (each with multiple shafts). Titleist felt absolutely dead to me. Couldn't get anything out of it. Came down to Stealth and Rogue, with Rogue ending up the clear winner. Couldn't be happier. Pure hits go like crazy, but the mishits are what amaze me the most. Barely any loss in smash, distance accuracy. So far only indoors. Can't wait to take it outside this spring. Funny how different people can get such different results from similar club tests. The message is clear... Spend the $100 to get a proper fitting if you can afford it. Odds are, if you're spending $500-600 for a new driver you can afford the fitting fee. You won't regret it!
I was fitted for the TSR2. I went in expecting to get the Paradym X. The Paradym was an amazing club, the consistency was there, the dispersion was low. But I was getting 15-20 yards more with the TSR2 with roughly the same dispersion size and a straighter ball flight. I could have went with either and been happy but the extra yardage helped, and the look of the TSR at address definitely sealed the deal.
This is nearly exactly my story, but I ended up with TSr1.
Michael, haven't tried any of the 2023 releases but have tried all those before it. The only one that was better than my Epic Flash SZ was the TSR3 with an upgraded shaft. Didn't want to pull the trigger for a minimal gain at the $910 USD price point, but to date the TSR3 is my favorite driver. Will try the new ones but haven't as of yet my opinion may change, but don't see me changing drivers for the current prices.
Just got fitted today for the TSr3 and it was night and day (given that should be expected when upgrading from an old Taylormade R1 driver lol) but it was amazing, even though my strikes weren't all out of the middle I was still getting 1.49 smash. Absolutely great driver through the fitting and looking forward to gaming it this summer.
I wonder if this is the same club that Mark Crossfield received when doing his review. I think there has to be something different from the review sample in the UK vs the US because the US testing results showed that it was competitive with every other brand out there. At any rate, Titleist went from being an afterthought for woods to being one of the best you can buy. Pretty amazing dramatic turnaround for their R&D.
Even as a slower swinging Senior (68 years old and about 88-90 club head speed) I have found the same results as you have as far as ball speed retention on not my best strikes with the TSR Line (im playing TSR2) vs Callaway Paradym or Taylormade Stealth and Stealth2 and dispersion results for me were very similar to what you have seen. I had been a loyal Ping Driver player since the Ping G2 Tour head (also played the G10 then G then G400Max then G425 all Titanium heads) I dont feel that I have given up much on MOI over my Ping and have found that I have been able to sneak a few extra yards (8-10) out of my TSR well! Driver of the year for my money!
Last week I went to my local thinking I would end up with Paradyme but walked out with TSR2.
Better sound, better look and was much more consistent the the TSR. I found the miss hits went much further than both my old driver and the paradyme
I had a driver fitting with Michael in December and loved the TSR3. I had just bought a new putter following a putter fitting the same day, so the 529 price stopped me from buying. Instead I got a TSR2, just back from 5 days in the Algarve and I am really pleased with it. I got my handicap down from 9 to 7 in 2022 despite some pretty rubbish driving, my driver was the only club I could not hit both draws and fades with. Not any more! I hit some really good ones both ways in Portugal, so really looking forward to 2023 now. I can really recommend both the putter and driver fittings at Penrith.
Nice one Chris 👍
Went from TS3 to TSR2 & hit my highest ever ball speed in my sim on my 3rd swing with it. I've probably hit 500 balls since then & it's just efficient period. Enjoy your channel & just realized I wasn't subscribed even though I've been watching for years.
Thanks Mike, yeah I'm an average golfer but most of the time when my strike are a little high toe they get out there, not sure why ,I guess it cuts that spin down, anyway thanks again looking for tradein this year and I'm definitely leaning towards the TSR category, no doubt in my mind best looking driver by far on the Market!! Stay safe!!
Put TSr3 in the bag at the end of last year and I’ve been blown away with it. It’s monstrously long, looks and sounds incredible and very forgiving as you saw in this test. Best driver I’ve ever owned no question.
2nd that
I got the TSR2 with a Ventus Blue and it's a monster too. So straight and long and very forgiving on off centre strikes.
@@method341 Waiting on my TSR2 Ventus Blue. Should be in this week. Can't wait to try it out.
Just spec'd one up online with the ventus, over £800! Madness
@@John_Wood_ I had a Tour AD DI in mine so was £700. In real terms after I sold my old driver plus a couple of other old clubs it cost me £100 to change.
Michael I have to say that I'm not very long but I picked up the TR3. I don't even feel like I have a great shaft in that driver and I'm hitting it at least 20 yds farther than the generation one stealth. I pretty much hit the ball straight so I don't really know how forgiving it is but I don't miss many fairways with the titleist. I think if I had a nice Ventus shaft in there I think I'll get even more ball speed. Great video
A great video Michael. I hit all of the Paradym drivers today and I was seriously underwhelmed. It looks garbagio. And the performance, for me, was nothing special. I hit the Titleist before the holiday and it looks and feels great. I am going to go for a fit at the Titleist fitting centre and get dialled in for a TSR2 or TSR3. It is the best looking driver on the market. Classic and elegant with the performance to match.
Just put a TSR2 in the bag (with Ventus Black 6x), from Cobra LTDx. TSR is the best driver ever for me, cut my HC in half in 4 weeks
Great video!! Could you compare the tsr3 to the triple diamond version please? Would be interesting to see how they compare.
I was comparing the Paradym vs TSR 3 and sure enough I was hitting the TSR 3 better so I ordered one yesterday and get in two weeks but sucks being a left hander and have to wait for two weeks to get it! Can't wait to have it. I had the Callaway Rogue for four years.
All of the drivers are beautiful!!
After watching your review videos, Mizuno tops them all.
Minuno- 285 Yards
Titleist - 284 Yards
Stealth2- 275 Yards
Paradym- 274 Yards
Cobra- 272 Yards
Ping- 261 Yards
I purchased a Mizuno STZ !!!!
Just bought a TSR3 and can’t believe the difference. 1500rpm drop and piercing flight.
I recently got fit with a buddy of mine. I hit everything even some demo stuff since he works for taylormade. He got all pissed when he realized I put the TSr3 in the bag. The sound is just amazing, that paired with how compact it looks plus the forgiveness its kind of a no brainer for me.
TSR3 in the bag.. my first ever Driver which I’ve been fitted for.. Sounds incredible and have gained bags of distance over my old driver
Got the tsr3 in the bag with a red ventus velocore can hands down best driver out and after owning the ping g425, stealth, tsi3, tsi2
The tsr wins by a country mile it’s a fairway finder for sure and never disappointed in distance with it won’t be changing the driver for a few year now 😊
I have a tsr 3. I took it out of the bag. I got fit twice for it. Just don’t feel comfortable with the shaft. Looking forward to spring where I will look for a different shaft. It is a nice looking club. Looking forward to getting it back in the bag
Mitsubishi Diamana TB. I recommend you try one or find someone that has one. really smooth in feel
I have a TSi3 and hit a lot of drivers before my fitting. Rental set of Titleist in HHI last spring with TSi2 and t100 irons. After that round, I knew titleist woods would eventually be in my bag. I was fitted for the TSi3 driver and 4wood. I’m curious if the TSR3 is all that different. I’ve never noticed any drastic changes in clubs from the next generation.
Ive owned TS2 and 3, TSI2 and 3, and now I have the TSR2. Each model has got a little better. My Smash is always around 1.47 or.48. Sound is amazing.
I have TSi2. Is TSR2 worth the upgrade?
@@mattforst6591 totally upgrade
Great video Michael.
Would love to see the new Callaway, Ping and Taylor Made 3 wood comparisons video
Tsr3 8 degree down to 7.25 best driver I have ever owned looks feel sound performance are great it’s very very consistent even on miss hits within reason no driver is helping with really bad strikes/swings cracked three callaway faces in 3 years in the exact same place which I why I switched I can’t fault callaways customer service though but changing driver every year was a pain in the **** great videos as always keep up the great work 🏌️♂️⛳️
Thank you 😊
After some testing of different brands and models I ended up up a tsi driver at great value- now that the tsr are out. No regrets. Best driver and reliability I have had with a driver. Great looks too. Tried the paradym and not impressed. Stealth also. Will be sticking with my tsi for a few years I suspect.
I must admit, this surprised me. Great video and head to head test. Spin was right where it should be for both on good swings. Titleist was just a little better!
Michael your reviews have been my main go to for a long time now. I have to ask though what is with the lower carry on all these new drivers? Your speed is good if not better than last year, swing looks great ball speed is good but all of your reviews from the 2022 drivers had around 280-285 carry. Elevation change? Range balls? Or are these drivers just not as good as last years? Cheers!!
No surprise here. Titleist is pure quality.
After a 90 minute driver fitting, It came down to the TSR2 w Hzrdus Black Smoke shaft 6.0 and the Paradigm with the same shaft. I chose the TSR2. Better ball speeds and accuracy for me.
Have had an R11 for around 10 years. I'm a fitter so have had access to all the new products. Nothing could beat the R11 on overall performance. Until the TSR3. Definitely the longest and most forgiving driver I've ever played.
Great review mike, You can't go wrong with either one of those drivers , I haven't bought a driver yet I am waiting for the tour edge C-723 driver to come out in the next couple of weeks, from what I heard It's gonna be a bomber. I hope you give it a review when it comes out. Keep up the good content !!!
I’ve never seen better numbers from him than when he was swinging a tour edge.
Test test test if you are going to drop that much on any golf club. These reviews are great but I might be able to hit the ball better with the Titleist then my buddy but he hits the Aerojet better then anything he tests. So test test test!. Thanks for a great review all the same you give the best content in the most reliable way!
Hi Michael, love the channel, been subscribed for years. Would you be able to do a head to head of the TSR4 vs Paradym triple diamond? Thank you!
I want to see this too! For some reason I hit the TSR4 the best. I use Arccos and I’m Averaging 15 yards further than my TSI2 and I’m more accurate. There really isn’t a lot of RUclips content on TSR4
Michael, what ball(s) were you using during this test? Can we get a 2023 ProV1 vs ProV1X using you’re TSr3!
Great video Michael, the rest of the industry is swearing the Callaway is a revolution. Can you do a triple diamond comparison please ?
Great request!
Can you do a test of the Paradym standard and the Epic speed standard 2021 model? Curious to see if there are and differences and is it worth upgrading???
Paradym sounds better than last years Rogue. The dull grey strip on the crown kills it for me. Looks terrible imo. TSR beats it in every category. Do TSR vs the G430 next. I already have a prediction on the results but would like to see what both clubs do with your swing.
Toss in the Mizuno stz330 too.
i actually have the tsr2 fitted and went for callaway fitting yesterday overall the callaway for me was 14 longer............but titleist has been good to me............
Paradym did not beat Titleist for me but Rogue ST LS beat both of them. Much better spin profile. It’s a great sounding driver. I’m not sure Callaway improved on last year’s tremendous lineup. Dull grey strip on crown? Didn’t even notice it. Performance is fantastic.
I have a TSr3 and got a Rogue TD to cut spin. After four real rounds, TSr3 was better for two, Rogue was better for two. Can't wait to check out Paradym.
I’ve played a few rounds with the stealth, epic LS, Maverick sub zero, Mizuno stg, also I’ve had both a Ping g 400 and 410. I’ve played all those drivers (only owned the pings, I rented the others) with stiff to extra stiff shafts and had them all in their lowest lofts as well as set them to their lowest loft hosel settings. The best I could get out of them was a random ball or two a round that went long. Long for me then was 330 total. After I played around with equipment for a while I got fitted and much to my surprise and at that time slight disappointment, I was fitted into a TSi3. I wanted a cool new stealth but the numbers didn’t lie. Now that I’ve played this thing for a season, I can’t tell you how happy I am that I was fitted into this club. I have less dispersion (my Ping was a 2 way miss. This club almost exclusively draws). And it is LONG… like really really damn long. I’ve had rounds where my AVERAGE was 326 total and long drives over 360yds. I track all my stats and shots via gps so there’s no guesswork here. This club by far and beyond, out performed everything else on the market by a huge margin. It’s not for everyone and I can tell you, miss hits can be really bad, especially low spin knuckle balls off the toe… but if you are a high swing speed golfer that can hit it out of the center of the face most of the time, this is a club you need to look at (that and the TSR3 of course as well).
Again, for reference, it’s both the lowest loft offering (8*) and cranked down to both the lowest adjustable setting (7.25*) and I flattened the lie angle (I forget by how much but it’s probably around a degree flatter). The hosel configurability on this club is incredible, similar to that of the Callaway which is important since lowering loft opens the face and changing lie angle can change shot shape. Few clubs let you tweak both at the same time.
Sold my sim2 and bought a tsr2 and I’m very happy with the forgiveness over the sim.
Tsr ball speed! Wow! Gotta go with the refined multi generation progression of titleist over all others, especially those that are early generation carbon. I guess the real story is how mizuno has done w their new model v titleist. Thinking that might be an epic showdown.
I’m a TSR3 player, traded it from ST220G, mostly due to sound & feel.
As you demonstrated, the magic of this club is its performance off-center. I can miss by up to 5mm and I’m still seeing almost no discernible drop in ball speed.
I’d be curious to see you in TSR3 with some adjustments in back weight and loft. My club speed and strike pattern is very similar to you but my carry is 12-15 yds longer, overall length the same. I play the back weight toward toe in position 2, halfway between full toe and center as my misses tend to be toward toe. Hosel setting is D4 on 9* head, netting 9.75 loft. The primary data I always look at on launch monitor w/driver fitting is launch * and spin. I also like to see ball speed, height and dynamic loft. My target is always 12/2450 for our clubspeed. My TSR3 fitted w/Speeder NX 50X @44.5” is 12.2/2400 with deviation of 0.3/230.
I know you’ve said you’re a low launch guy, and perhaps that’s the best choice if you’re in a lot of wind. I do think if you could get your launch >11.5* you’d see much improved carry and more ability to shape the ball and play hilly courses. Just my $.02 😉
Really brilliant demo of these 2 driver heads 👍
Anything ffs
I just went to a fitting and it came down to the Paradym X or the TSR1. My numbers were similar to yours, not as long but only a few yards difference with the TSR being slightly longer, but better dispersion. Going in I wanted the Paradym X, especially now that it's $100 cheaper. I ended up ponying up the extra cash for the Titleist. It had better numbers, I love the sound and I had more confidence that I could get after it more. I could have gone either way since they were pretty close and better than the others I tried...Stealth, Aerojet, Wilson, Srixon and the Ping. Wilson was a surprising third for me.
Don’t go getting rid of that new Titleist just yet! Been waiting to see this comparison!
I finally upgraded from my Nike 2016 Vapor Fly to the TSR2. And I tell you, I don’t think I’ve ever felt a driver click better than the TSR. It’s a classic sleek look, nothing too fancy, less techy looking…but the titanium sound and their feel to this driver is superb. I swung the new Stealth2, and the Paradym to compare and they really did not perform for me the same as the TSR at all.
Hey Michea nice review, could you please review the new Ai smoke against the TSR3, just to see if 2 years old technology beats today new one!
As soon as I realised the tsr2 gave me the forgiveness of a ping driver but with the sound and looks that I prefer I was sold. Arrived last week but been so cold I’ve no idea how it goes on the course yet
Have a TSR2 coming this week and hope for the same as I been playin the Ping g410
I have the TSR3 fitted with the Graphite Designs TP-6 XS, -.5in length and a slight fade setting. I love the playability. I upgraded from a TS2. I hit Callaway, Stealth and Ping G425. G425 was my second choice.
How significant was the improvement from TS2? I’m contemplating a change from TS2 but it would need to be substantial to justify the outlay
@@darrenmiller1981 The improvements were substantial. I’d have to go back and look at the numbers. Much better launch angle, ball speed and carry distance. I shopped drivers for about 6 months before going and getting fitted. I went from a Tensei Blue Stiff shaft to the GD TP6 XS and it made a big difference. I am very happy with it.
@@plew2629 thanks for the response. One more question, if I may, did the configuration change compared to the previous ie loft, lie, shot bias..?
@@darrenmiller1981 I kept the loft angle the same at 9. I average about 11 degree shot angle. I didn’t adjust the lie. And I went from a draw bias to a fade bias, adjusted the weight to Heel 1 in the driver and am consistently hitting the sweet spot. I can shape the ball with draw or fade off the tee.
@@plew2629 appreciate the detail, thanks man, sounds like the fitting process was comprehensive and ended up working well for you
I purchased the TSR3 just before Christmas and I can honestly say for me it’s the best driver I’ve owned.
Currently I have a Paradym standard with Ventus TR Blue 5S and really interested in TSR3 with Tour Ad Stock Titleist 60g S shaft. Would it be as forgiving as Paradym Max?
Thank you in advance.
Very nice test. I have the TSR2 and I still believe the TSR is the best driver out there and it is 100% titanium best ball speed and best smash factor. I love it
Michael, I believe your site is hacked
If the Smash Factor was the same, I'd say Titleist was the clear winner. In this case, I'd say the Titleist fits you better. Maybe it's CG location, the shaft itself (weight, kick point, tip stiffness) or swing weight... something in the Titleist is just better suited for you.
Enjoyed this review! Informative for sure. Thanks.
@@textme3614 thank you
EXCELLENT! Thanks so much!!
For as high as you tee the ball and hit below the equator on most hits why wouldn't you drop tee height a bit to find center mass or just a touch above the equator for a more solid hit??
I have watched many of your driver testing reviews and you are mostly below the center line on hits, is that the area you feel you get the best results?? Because if I teed the ball that high I would have nothing but sky marks on my driver !
Was using the Taylormade Sthealth2 Plus, and swapped it out for the TSR3. Titleist for sure for me!
Started with 915D, then 917D, then TS3, now TSR3. Love Titleist!
Love this! ! ! can we have a TsR vs G430?!
I game a tsr3 myself. Have zero complaints. Have absolutely n desire to go look for another driver. Glad to see michael also feels tsr3 to be superior
I have a tsr3 and a callaway rogue triple diamond. The trs3 is great on center strikes and slight misshits, but don't miss it big. The Callaway rogue triple diamond is absolutely fantastic. While both drivers are very, VERY, good, the Callaway triple diamond won out for me bc of its forgiveness.
The rogue ST TD is the least forgiving driver I’ve ever owned. A low spin knuckleball machine. Your mileage may vary.
@GOONIE as it turned out, my LA Golf Trono shaft was more responsible for my consistency. I put the a Trono 75 X into my TSR3 and now it's unreal how good it is.
@@drewgwins6073 yea people underestimate how important the shaft is for feel players. If you can’t deliver the club consistently you will struggle. Same happened with me and the Ventus TR Red 7x vs blue TR 6x. Went up in weight and changed the bend profile -> 15 yards longer.
TSR, Higher ball speed, less forgiving. He hit the TSR right more often. Also, a better comp would be either Standard Paradym vs TSR2, or Paradym Triple Diamond vs the the TSR3. Oh, and how about using the same shaft with both heads?
Is it me or did the Mizunos perform just as well as the Titleist even with a shorter shaft and slower club head speed? Mizuno is underrated.
The ‘forgiveness w speed’ that he spoke of at the beginning reminded me of the Mizuno 225’s they are revolutionary.. haven’t tried the woods
PXG even more so, unreal drivers!
@@toonlad4091 just bought a pxg 0311 xf driver today, range tomorrow 👍🏻 🏌🏻♂️
@@ginge5168 what love to know what you think! I’m In the market.
Ordering my Mizuno ST230-X next weekend 😁
I have TSR3 with TX Hzrdus 60g shaft and it's a bombing machine. I am a scratch golfer but this has changed my driving so much. 70% fairways with this driver. Titleist is being overlooked and it shouldn't. Great comparison Michael. Thanks.
Titleist released their drivers too early and they now being ignored amongst the sea of fancy names and carbon bling. Yet the TSR range still producing better numbers than any new release. Go figure.
@@TheflyingkiwiRC totally agree.
Got TSi3 and pondering if gains warrant moving to TSR?
Does Mizuno beat both ? 309 total and 1.46 smash from the Mizuno with a shorter shaft.
Was it last year or the year before, the Mizuno was the top bracket driver with TXG ?
I watched a bunch of vids, from you and others. Can’t figure out the final result. I’m trying to figure out which driver is the most forgiving with the furthest distance. Cobra ltdx, cobra Aerojet, titleist tsr, ping g430. (Paradign is definitely not, and stealth is not. What is your thoughts?
Take it from me...an average hacker. I bought both the TSR3 and the Cobra LTD LS drivers to try out for a week. The TSR3 sounds and feels PHENOMENAL and was easier to hit for me. The Cobra sounded a little hollow and felt soft. I sold the Cobra on ebay 4 days ago. The TSR3 is the bad boy what. I love it. Came from hitting a G10 for 10 yrs.
I've always thought carbon was sort of not the biggest help in drivers.
Carbon clubs always seem to null or dull the impact feel.
So it's intresting that the tsr was the better.
No surprise. After years of having different drivers, brands and models and being in my 70s with obviously now much slower swing speed i was looking to see which driver (and shaft) would give me the most reliability, reasonable distance but tighter dispersion and be a fairway finder and thus give me more confidence. After having and testing some clubs including the stealth for example i ended up with the tsi1. Far happier with this than others including feel sound and looks. Not much difference with the tsr1 so went for the tsi1 as better value. Shaft was key - in my case the cb hzrdus red. Also adjusted the length - shorter for more accuracy. Lovely club. So also for me the titanium outdid the carbon!!
I have played and loved Callaway and Taylormade drivers over the last 20+ years. I upgraded from the Taylormade M3 to the Titleist TSR3 a couple of months ago. The TSR3 is unbelievable! It is the best looking, feeling, sounding, and performing driver I have ever owned. It is also very forgiving, which I think isn't talked about enough. Will not be entertaining a new driver for at least 4 or 5 years!
Currently in M3 and thinking about TSR2/3. Will go for a fitting, but good to have your insights as well. Could you please share some further insights?
@@FitchYoungTV I used the M3 for 2 seasons and it performed very well. I used it with the weights back in the Y track 10.5 degrees lofted all the way down with a ProForce V2 shaft in X stiff. I finally cracked the face.
I had the SIM2 and didn't like it because of the spin rates dropping so much on high toe misses then Stealth Plus.
I'm now in the TSR3 and I can't see myself using anything else until I kill it.
It's a fine tool. It's precise, long, feels and sounds incredible. Considering the M3 was 5 years ago and since then I've had some physical issues the TSR3 has given me back those lost yards. I've actually had the shaft made shorter than standard in an attempt to find the centre of the face more often which has worked well and my ball speed out the centre is in the mid 170's and off centre it's 170 which is incredible. The M3 I lost around 10% ball speed off centre. TSR3 is more forgiving than you'd imagine too. The weight track I have in T1 setting which helps on the slightly out the toe strikes. Do try the TSR2 though. I chose the TSR3 because I can work it both ways a bit easier. The TSR2 for me hit huge high bombs that went straight and high.
And a word of wise 😁 I've now got the TSR3 fairway 3 metal which is also very very good.
Frisodj, I played the m3 440 so it was the slightly smaller, lower spinning version. I loved it but on days where I didn't have my best swing it could be a little erratic dispersion wise. Out of the middle it goes as far as anything including the new stuff but it just lacked that bit of forgiveness I have really come to love with the tsr3. I tried the tsr2 and tsr3 in my fitting along with the callaway rogue st ls, stealth plus and the cobra ltdx ls. I am a higher spin player so the tsr2 just spun up for me too much but it looked, sounded, and felt pretty good. The Stealth plus felt and sounded great, but it was super unforgiving and did terrible out of the slight high toe. My miss is a hook and with the stealth plus small misses were severely punished. I Didn't really like the cobra either. It sounds and feels very firm, which I dont like. In the end it came down to the rogue st ls and the tsr3. They were super close in ball speed, distance, spin, and dispersion. It really came down to the looks, sound, and feel. The TSR3 is seriously the best looking driver I have ever seen! It is the perfect pear shape with a beautiful mirror black gloss finish, and a black face. I could not get over how good it sounds and feels as well. It has an awesome muted tink off the face and it feels like butter! The sound and feel when you hit it out of the middle is addictive! The biggest shock is how much forgiveness I get with it. All of the reviews online made the tsr3 out to be a "players club" but I'm a 12 handicapper and it is plenty forgiving for me. I got the 9 degree head with the new hzrdus black shaft and I just keep hitting beautiful mid high baby fades 270+ right down middle. The callaway rogue st ls looked, felt and sounded great too, and any other time it would have been the one. It just so happened to be going up against what is for me, the perfect driver. Sorry the post is so long. Hope this helps.
Was just given a ts3 cus the guys said he wasn’t good enough to be consistent with it, I’ve used it for one round and swear I’ve gained 10-20 yards on drive compared to my Taylor made m1 sounds very nice too
I think the Triple diamond would go more head to head with the TSR3. I think the standard vs the TSR2 is more comparable.
Great review though. I’m trying to decide between these 2 myself on what to put in the bag
I don’t think it would. As he explained the the video the triple diamond is the low spin head so that should be compared to TSr4.
nice opinion but wrong, spin number, head size and weight adjustability all point to the opposite.
I think the triple diamond is a bit in between TSR3 and TSR4. TSR3 fits a much wider range of golfers than triple diamond. So a bit tough to compare Callaway and titleist this product generation. But I still liked this review. If the standard paradym was a lot more game improvement than TSR3, it should have spun higher and launched higher than the TSR3.
@@mvansb23 that’s a good point
Absolutely agree with you 💯.
If you look at the tour guys you won’t see the TSR4, but you’ll only see the Triple Diamond Paradym.
Tsr3 seems like it's released after the callaway. Looking forward to stealth 2 vs tsr3?
yes.....tsr3 vs stealth2+
Can you test the standard Paradym vs. the TSR2 driver?
So the TSR4 has lower spin than the 3 with faster club head speed due to 430cc and smokes them both.
Tsr3 on the low ball is nuts!! Better speed from a few mil low than in the middle lol 🤷♂️
I tired the TSR3 at a practice round when traveling the sand belt in Melbourne, Australia.
It's really the best driver since the SIM came out. Absolute cheat code.
I would like to see you do it again with the triple diamond against TSR3
Literally just got fitted. TSR3 was clear winner, the others werent bad though but i was getting alteast 10-15 yards more and the dispersion was amazing with the TSR3. The other clubs i tried was Callaway Paradym, Ping G430, Taylormade Stealth 2 and Srixon ZX5. The other definately werent bad but the feel, distance and forgiveness was insane on the TSR3. I was getting the Titleist mostly between 270-280 meters, i hit one so good it went 300 meters. The guy at the golf fitting said im crazy if i dont get the Titleist
Hi Michael, I haven't played golf for a year or so. I'm 52 used to have good rhythm but I'm a flipper so lose distance etc. My driver is a Nike covert which I've loved but I know I lose distance when playing other people with new tech. How can I contact yourself for maybe a lesson or two I'd love to stop my fault and drive much further than I do. Cheers
Hi there, please drop me an email at michael@michaelnewtongolf.co.uk and we can organise something in the diary. Mike 👍
Can you start putting the shafts you are using for both drivers with their lengths in your videos or at least use the same shafts? I think that makes a huge difference in comparing the club heads.
I was worried that the Callaway would beat the TSR 3...haven't hit the Paradyme yet but love the TSR 3.
The Callaway is better he’s just a fanboy he could review the best driver ever made and put it up against a Titleist driver that’s 20 years old and he’d say the Titleist is better. No fair reviews on this channel.
Just to be clear I don’t use the Paradym and I have a mixed bag. I don’t fanboy over one maker.
Hi Michael liked the head to head Video 👍, 2 weeks ago tested Para/dym Std & X, Ping Max & HL, TM Sealth 2 HL, TSR1 at Driver fitting, got Best results with TSR1 182carry 206total with 81mph club speed nice high flight with a tiny draw, & super sweet feel, it outperforms other Drivers for me, Think they have got the light weight build 👍”spot on” unlike some of the other Drivers Thanks Dickey 9hcp 76year senior golfer
Have see those same numbers from you with mizuno driver...
Quite interesting comparing against someone who hits a little harder than you like Peter Finch - he seemed to get more ball speed out of the Paradym. I always find it close between Titleist and Callaway for myself (a bit faster average clubhead than Finch, about 127mph average) - but prefer Titleist as I seem to have the best control with their drivers.
Every club is different for every person. Thats why fittings are so important.
i got fitted to both....tsr2 and triple d....callaway was 14 yards longer for me ....but both are great
@@CHRISBROGAN-ce2wn It seems quite crazy the difference between two people and how much they seem to extract between two different drivers. It would be great to see how these companies use statistical data to determine which is the driver for the majority of people, and how many people they first test to create data. I do suspect for some people though there's a massive placebo effect going on and sometimes they come from transferrence from the fitter themselves - whether that individual is sponsored, fitting for a particular golf brand, and whether the individual being fitted has some form of bias.
@@TimBarnesPolygonPerformance i agree with that also....confidence or excitement in a certain look of a product maybe makes you more relaxed and not think as much..and swing better.......for me the tsr was great to me fitted and the set up was really nice........the same shaft i had in the tsr didnt work as well in the callaway so ended up with a diff shaft set up as well....but it ended up 14 yards longer and the shape was more what i wanted........
Tried both and stuck with my Titleist 910 D2 always straight and distance so keeping to my old driver to be honest, I just think these new drivers don't do much probably 10-15 yards, just look at Mcllroy still using his old driver stealth
Great test! Shouldn’t u have used the Paradym tripple diamond for the better comparison ?
TD probably more aligned to TSR4 👍
