What we say...

Titleist TSR fairway metals aim to optimise flight, feel, form and forgiveness for every type of golfer.

Titleist engineers had clear goals with the new Titleist Speed Project fairway metals, which were to improve upon the four ‘F’s: flight, feel, form and forgiveness. The result is an all-new lineup of Titleist TSR metal woods, featuring three distinct models packed with technology and advanced refinements that can benefit every player and which challenge the game’s best fairway woods.

The Titleist TSR fairway metals have proven popular among professionals, with more than 60 PGA Tour players already putting them in play.

“This is an absolute rocket,” said Will Zalatoris, who picked up his first PGA Tour win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship with a Titleist TSR2+ fairway and TSR3 driver in the bag. “I love this thing. It’s the best 3-wood I’ve ever had. It’s pretty cool to be able to have something besides driver that I can hit off the tee and basically hit it as far as I want. And then if I need to hit it high and soft into greens, I can do that as well.”

“Downwind, when you want to hit it up, it goes up,” says Joohyung ‘Tom’ Kim, who claimed his first PGA Tour title at the Wyndham Championship after making the switch to a TSR3 driver and fairway. “In the wind when you want to keep it low, it goes low. So, it’s really the perfect club for a 3-wood. The 3-wood’s the hardest club to fit and they did it perfectly.”

Titleist TSR fairway metals technology

Open Hosel Construction

One of the key new features of TSR2, TSR2+ and TSR3 fairways is the Open Hosel Construction. Titleist engineers were able to remove excess weight found high and towards the heel of the clubhead, which allowed them to reposition weight and make improvements to essential areas of performance. In the TSR3 fairways, engineers utilised the Open Hosel Construction to shift the CG deeper and lower whilst simultaneously moving it closer to the centre of the face. This change creates even more forgiveness, and higher launch.

Low, Face-Centred CG

Dramatic shifts in CG are constant throughout all three fairway offerings. The TSR2 features Titleist’s lowest ever CG for an all-steel construction, whilst the TSR2+ boasts the deepest CG of any Titleist fairway metal. TSR3 has an even deeper and lower CG than its predecessor. The CG location is engineered for the specific needs of each fairway model, but all result in maximum levels of forgiveness, high launch, and speed.

Player-Tuned Performance

The full TSR line reflects a single-minded focus on the golfer, including the look, feel and sound of each, which are a result of direct feedback from tour players and other discerning golfers.

Inspired by the wants and needs of some of the world’s top tour professionals, the TSR2+ fairway is a new addition to the Titleist fairway family, designed to be a long, forgiving, and tee-biased 3-wood that does not sacrifice playability off the deck.
