Our Titleist TS2 vs. 917 driver test took place at Rudding Park.
I was fitted into the 917 driver when the product launched two years ago.
And I have just got fitted into the new TS2 following a launch event at Woburn.
Titleist TS2 vs. 917 – The methodology
We are always keen to see if a new product can outperform its predecessor.
Titleist have strict tw0-year product cycles so we have come to expect greater improvement than the brands who release new drivers every year.
But even after two years, it’s a tall order to make a driver that’s significantly better.
As I said, both these drivers have been custom fitted. I thought it was best to test each driver out in the exact spec I was fitted into rather than using the same shaft in each head.
For the 917 launch I was fitted into the D2 head with a 70g Diamanna White shaft. A little bit of extra weight was placed in the heel to help me square the face.
I have just been fitted into a TS2 with the new Project X Hzrdus Smoke shaft which is 62g.
Both drivers had the SureFit Hosel set to A1.
Data was captured using a Sky Track launch monitor.
