The woods inspired by NASA's Mars Rover: Introducing Titleist TSi

The woods inspired by NASA’s Mars Rover: Introducing Titleist TSi

Titleist say their new TSi range features breakthrough face material, player-tuned aerodynamics, and exceptional speed performance. Hannah Holden takes a closer look
 

Finally, I can talk about the Titleist TSi drivers and fairway woods! I have used numerous Titleist woods over the years so I was super excited as soon as I heard about these.

Now I’m not sure you can call this a surprise launch given many Titleist players have been using them on tour in the past few weeks. Ian Poulter let the cat out of the bag with a stream of pictures on Instagram, and more recently we have seen Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick put these in play. 

Titleist TSi drivers

It’s safe to say these drivers look spectacular from the simple gloss crown to the intricate detailing on the club face. But my favourite fact about the new TSi drivers? They’re made from the same metal as a ballistic missile and NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander. That’s some serious technology.

The new ATI 425 Aerospace Titanium face construction is the first of its kind in the golf industry. Titleist have added it to their line up as delivers superior strength, elasticity and durability versus the conventional titanium alloys.

As well as this new material we also see tweaks to the aerodynamics with new shaping to help the clubhead move faster though the air and reduce drag increase clubhead speed for greater ball speed and distance. I also really like the softer toe profiling at address which we see across both models.

OK, so TSi2 and 3. What’s the difference?

TSi2 is about maximum distance and forgiveness. It is exceptionally stable thanks to a high-MOI design giving you high launch and low spin.

On the other hand the TSi3 is more about dynamic distance, you’re still going to get that yardage but really this is about having more precise control. It also features a five-setting adjustability track so you can really get this set-up exactly how you want it. This offers more of a mid height launch but still with lower spin.

Available: November 12 (fittings from October 22)
RRP: £519 (Titleist TSi driver), £689 (Titleist TSi Premium driver)
Featured shafts: Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Black Dual-Core 5G (High launch and spin), Mitsubishi Tensei Av Raw Blue (Mid launch and spin), Hzrdus Smoke Black Rdx (Low-mid launch and spin) and Mitsubishi Tensei Av Raw White (Low launch and spin). 

Titleist TSi fairway woods

In the fairway woods the story is still increased speed with technology such as the active recoil channel 4.0 designed to drive up your ball speeds. This is done by allowing the face to flex slightly launching the ball with increased speed. We’ve also got high MOI for stability helped by a more compact geometry that allowed weight to be redistributed.

Again TSi2 is for max speed and forgiveness where 3 is offering more workability.

I’ve gone TSi2 in my driver and TSi3 in my fairway. Keep your eyes out for my full review next Wednesday!

Available: November 12 (fittings from October 22)
RRP: £279 (Titleist TSi fairway wood), £449 (Titleist TSi Premium fairway wood)
