Titleist TSR Drivers Are A BIG Hit on Tour Titleist debuted the new TSR3 drivers to PGA Tour pros at the Travelers Championship. It was a Big Hit and was quickly adopted by a large number of tour players. In fact, the TSR3 finished the year as the most played driver on tour. TSR is an acronym for “Titleist Speed Redefined.” This new club has some very interesting features. The crown extends to the rear, creating a “boat tail” effect, which performs two functions. It creates a more even air flow over the clubhead on the downswing, not unlike a rear spoiler on an automobile. It also which provides increased ball speed and distance. Stephanie Luttrell, Director of Metalwood Development for Titleist, was quoted, “Titleist TSR represents the deepest, most complete, and most validated understanding of the tee shot ever held within our walls. Every aspect of impact has been considered, constructed and optimized in service of our singular desire to produce more playable distance from every swing. New TSR drivers take everything that made TSi the most played driver on the PGA Tour and pack even more performance into every head. From new face technologies to CG improvements and aerodynamic refinements, TSR helps the golfer unlock more speed.” Titleist’s driver stable still contains the ultralight TSi1 driver from 2021, for slower swing speed players. At provides a low drag location to place the additional weight in the rear of the club. The variable thickness face interior on the TSR2 and TSR4 are built inward in discrete layers to produce similar rebound characteristics over the entire surface. That provides a more forgiving shot value for those of us that don’t always hit the center of the face every time. The TSR3 is targeted for better players that tend to find the center of the club face more often. It has a ‘Speed Ring,’ which yields maximum rebound allowable inside the sweet spot, By Ed Travis Ohio Golf Journal
