Titleist engineers designed the next-generation TSR fairway metals to improve the four F’s: flight, feel, form and forgiveness.
The Titleist TSR2, TSR2+ and TSR3 fairways are built to give every player an advantage with their metal wood setup. More than 60 PGA Tour professionals have put the TSR fairways into play, including Max Homa, Will Zalatoris, Cameron Young and Joohyung “Tom” Kim.
“This is an absolute rocket,” said Zalatoris, who earned his first career PGA Tour win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship using a TSR2+ fairway as well as his TSR3 driver. “I love this thing. It’s the best 3-wood I’ve ever had.”
All three models feature an open-hosel construction, with excess weight found high and toward the heel of the clubhead removed, which allowed engineers to reposition weight and make improvements to essential areas of performance.
The TSR2 (with available lofts of 15, 16.5, 18 and 21 degrees) features Titleist’s lowest center of gravity for an all-steel construction to create speed and launch without excessive spin, while the TSR2+ (13-degree only) with its larger profile and taller face boasts the deepest CG of any Titleist fairway metal to provide more length and accuracy, especially off the tee.
In the TSR3 fairways (lofts of 13.5, 15, 16.5 and 18 degrees), the center of gravity was shifted deeper and lower while simultaneously moving it closer to the center of the face, creating more forgiveness and higher launch. It features a new, easy-to-adjust five-position SureFit Adjustable CG Track System to fine-tune performance.
“Our number one goal was to optimize the CG, and it is now as low as it has ever been on a Titleist fairway metal,” said Josh Talge, Titleist vice president of golf club marketing. “The lower the CG, the higher the launch. We want to get the weight down, so the golfer can get the ball up. By lowering the CG in each model through our open-hosel construction, we also improved the overall performance, including speed, launch angle, spin, flight, feel and forgiveness.”
Titleist TSR fairway metals are available for fittings and will be available in golf shops on Sept. 30, with a minimum average price of $349, $549 with premium Tour shafts.
