How does the Titleist TS1 driver perform?

We tested out the new TS1 driver to see how it performs compared to the rest of the TS family

Titleist TS1 driver review

Our Titleist TS1 driver review took place at Leeds Golf Centre, where we met Titleist fitter James Robinson to find out all about the new addition to the Speed Project family.

We have already seen a large number of tour players put the Titleist TS drivers in their bags this season, but with the TS1 driver Titleist aim to provide something different.

You can watch the video below, then head to the next page to see the results…

Titleist TS1 driver review: First Impressions

This driver is the newest addition to Titleist’s Speed Project range where the focus has been ball speed and distance gains. The TS1 is an interesting move from Titleist as it is designed for moderate swing speeds players. This means it has a completely different target audience to the clubs they usually design with tour players in mind.

Titleist now have four drivers in the TS range and are aiming to have a driver to suit everyone’s game. The new Titleist TS1 has the same size head as the TS2 and 3 at 460cc. But is slightly larger than the 430cc head offered in the TS4.

Titleist TS1 driver review

It is a complete contrast from the recently released Titleist TS4. The TS4 is designed to produce high ball speed whilst having ultra-low spin. In contrast the new TS1 is designed to increase launch angle and add spin to allow players with slower ball speeds to achieve maximum carry distances.

Titleist TS1 driver review: The Technology

The TS1 offers the same technology found throughout the Titleist TS family but in an incredibly light 275-gram design. The weight of TS1 has been reduced to help players maximise launch angle and distance at moderate swing speeds.

Titleist TS1 driver review

The 275-gram design is an incredible 45 grams lighter than the TS2 model.  The eight-gram lighter head weight is designed to help players generate faster clubhead speeds, while 20 grams has been saved by replacing the standard grip with an extremely light 32-gram Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 Lite grip.

The Titleist Speed Project family is designed to provide maximum ball speed. The key design area that helped them achieve this is an ultra-thin titanium crown that allows weight to be repositioned for ideal launch.

There’s a lighter and more flexible face which is so thin the score lines have to be lasered rather than etched on. A variable face thickness also increases ball speed and forgiveness.

Titleist TS1 driver review

A new streamlined shape enhances the aerodynamics and reduces drag by up to 20%. The optimised weight redistribution has resulted in the lowest centre of gravity ever in a Titleist driver for higher launch and lower spin.

TS1’s deep CG location generates higher launch and optimal spin needed by moderate speed players to carry the ball further. The design still maximises ball speed on off-centre strikes due to high MOI properties.

Titleist TS1 driver review

Titleist say the MOI (resistance to twisting on impact) is up to 12% higher than 917. This creates a powerful combination of speed and stability even on off centre strikes.

Titleist’s patented SureFit Hosel offers 16 different loft and lie settings for maximum levels of adjustability. This provides additional ball flight optimisation during the fitting process.

That’s enough about the technology – how did this perform for our scratch handicap equipment guru? Find out on the next page…

Titleist TS1 driver review: The results

Visually this club looks almost identical to the Titleist TS2 in set-up position but as soon as you pick up the TS1 you realise just how lightweight this club is.

TS1 is specifically designed for people with moderate swing speeds, so players with clubhead speed of 85mph or less. With my current TS2 driver I have an average clubhead speed of 94mph (which you can see below) so this club isn’t necessarily designed to provide me with optimal performance but I was excited to go test it out and see what results it produced.

Titleist TS1 driver review

Straight away this club felt remarkably easy to hit, I felt like I could swing this really smoothly and didn’t need to worry about hitting at the ball. The strikes were great and really consistent which you can see in the smash factor data below. I also found my dispersion was really accurate throughout my testing.

Overall I gained 1mph clubhead speed, 5mph ball speed which saw me achieve an extra 9 yards of carry.

Titleist TS1 driver review

This driver is specifically designed to increase launch angle and overall height of drivers to maximise carry distances. My trajectory with this driver was definitely increased with one shot reaching a height of 117 feet compared to 99 feet with my TS2.

The TS2 provides me with a more penetrating ball flight, with the TS1 I would definitely struggle into the wind due to the height of the shots. You can see in the numbers I gained less run out due to having a steeper land angle due to the higher trajectory.

Titleist TS1 driver review

Overall I really enjoyed testing this product and was massively impressed with the results I saw.

Titleist TS1 driver review: NCG verdict

If you have a moderate swing speed and are looking for more ball speed and extra height on your drives this club definitely offers just what Titleist say it does.

As there are so many different driver options in the TS range, I would highly recommend getting custom fit to make sure you find the right club for your game.

The details:

Available: Fittings from June 18, available in-store from July 26

Lofts: 9.5 (RH), 10.5 (RH/LH), 12.5 (RH)

Shafts: Fujikura Air Speeder 40/35R3 (high launch/mid-high spin); Mitsubishi Fubuki MV 45/39L (mid-high launch/mid spin)
