Titleist Launches TSi Drivers with new Face Technology

Titleist launches a new line of drivers made to push the boundaries of speed through advanced engineering and material breakthroughs

By Sabrina Naccarato

Titleist is a company known for best-in-class golf balls and “serious clubs for serious golfers.” However, in recent years, they’ve produced great clubs that can help any golfer by maximizing forgiveness while helping generate impressive speed. The TS driver line was extremely successful due to the inclusion of players from the PGA Tour player to your weekend warrior and even beginners who could benefit from playing this line. And now, they’re introducing a new line of drivers and fairway woods that might be their best metalwoods yet.

Titleist TSi metalwoods are meant to ‘push the boundaries of speed through advanced engineering and material breakthroughs.’ This is possible with the incorporation of ATI 425 Aerospace Titanium in the face of the drivers to help produce the longest and straightest Titleist driver ever.

The Titleist TSi2 is designed to deliver the incredible speed and accuracy across the entire surface of the face, with a deeper, lower CG to maximize distance. The Titleist TSi3 is for players capable of creating more consistent contact or requiring more precise control over CG placement, featuring a new SureFitCG Track Design for advanced speed-tuned performance.

Check out the new models below, and don’t forget to schedule a club fitting with a certified club fitter at GOLFTEC to get fit into the perfect Titleist TSi driver and fairway wood.

“TSi is simply better when it comes to allfour fundamentals of driver design –distance, accuracy, looks and sound.”

ATI 425 AEROSPACE TITANIUM FACE Accurately tuned for speed at every point of contact, TSi driver faces are constructed fromATI 425 Aerospace Titanium, a unique material that delivers superior strength, elasticity, and durability versus the conventional titanium alloys used in golf. The exceptional ductility of ATI 425(30 percent higher than 6-4 Titanium)allowed engineers to produce Titleist’s fastest driver face while maintaining the durability properties required for consistent maximum performance.

PLAYER-TUNED AERODYNAMICS & SOUND The improved shaping of TSi allows the clubhead to move faster through the air and deliver a more powerful impact. Both TSi2 and TSi3 have been aerodynamically engineered to reduce drag up to 15 percent (versus prior generation TS models), increasing clubhead speed for greater ball speed and distance. The new head shapes feature a tour-requested softer toe profile that looks square at address.

MULTI-DIMENSIONAL STABILITY While golfers often equate“high MOI” with heel to toe forgiveness, Titleist R&D employs a more holistic approach to MOI design. TSi also optimizes sole to crown performance, producing up to 13 percent higher inertia values (versus prior generation TS models) that deliver more speed and a tighter launch and spin range up and down the face.

TSi’s speed-optimized MOI works in concert with a low and deep CG position to drive faster ball speed with a high launch, low spin trajectory and exceptional stability for greater distance consistency

PERFORMANCE-TUNED ADJUSTABILITY The new TSi3 model features a new SureFit CG track technology that offers five unique positions to adjust club head CGandfine-tune ball flight. The track offers more precise incremental adjustments –H2(most heel biased), H1, Neutral, T1, T2(most toe biased) –allowing a player to dial-in their launch conditions.
Both TSi2 and TSi3 feature Titleist’s patented SureFit hosel with 16 independent loft and lie settings, plus head weight adjustability (in two-gram increments, ranging from -4g to 4g)to create a more consistent and optimized ball flight through precision fitting.

CT TESTED AND MAXIMIZED Every TSi driver is precision manufactured to the tightest tolerances and measured multiple times to ensure performance is at the maximum allowable limit.

FEATURED AND PREMIUM SHAFTS
The TSi shaft selection has been assembled to offer world-class options for every swing speed and profile preference. Golfers can choose from four high-performance featured shafts or upgrade to one of three premium shafts available through Titleist’s new partnership with graphite Design.
The featured shaft lineup includes four new aftermarket models –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).
Moderate swing speed players will benefit from Straight Flight Weighting (SFW) technology, which promotes straight flight in lightweight driver shaft options (KURO KAGE Black Dual Core 50 and TENSEI AV Raw Blue 55).
Graphite Design’s premium offerings include three of the most coveted shaft models on tour and throughout the golfing world –Graphite Design Tour AD DI, Graphite Design Tour AD IZ, and Graphite Design Tour AD XC(XtraCarry) –engineered with aerospace-quality carbon-fiber materials for incredible stability, consistency and feel.

Titleist TSi drivers are available beginning Nov. 12. Starting at $549 with a stock shaft option and $749 for the Titleist TSi Premium option

Active Recoil Channel (ARC) 4.0 launches the ball off the face with high launch, low spin, and more speed. The improved design of ARC 4.0 –featuring a shorter channel wall–produces greater face flexibility for higher ball speeds. The more compact geometry also provides weight savings (5 grams)that are redistributed for higher inertia properties.

High-Speed VFT Face works in concert with ARC 4.0 to maximize ball speed and forgiveness across the face. A new high-contrast graphic face design highlights the face center for easy alignment at address.

Optimized Weight Distribution with refined crown and face thicknesses creates a low CG for high launch and low spin. The high-MOI design delivers a powerful combination of speed and stability.

Player-Tuned Aerodynamics allows the clubhead to move fast through the air –from the top of the swing to the ball –and deliver a powerful impact. The improved head shapes feature a tour-requested softer toe profile that looks square at address.TSi feels fast in a golfer’s hands and is complemented by meticulous sound engineering that manages vibrations within the clubhead to deliver a Tour-Quality Sound.

Sure Fit CG Track Technology in TSi3 models offer three unique positions–Toe (T), Neutral (N), and Heel (H) –to adjust clubhead CG and fine-tune ball flight. After adjustment, the new track design disappears into the sole of the club to allow for smooth turf interaction through impact.
Both TSi2 and TSi3 feature Titleist’s patented SureFit hosel with 16 independent loft and lie settings, plus headweight adjustability (in two-gram increments, ranging from -4g to 4g)to create a more consistent and optimized ball flight through precision fitting.
