Why I’m Loving The Look Of The New Titleist TSR Drivers
It’s only been six months since we had glut of new driver releases from golf’s biggest manufacturers, but I’ve been itching for a new release from one of the major brands for a while now.

After glimpses of players testing and using the new TSR drivers and fairway woods at last week’s US Open, the brand has announced that Titleist Tour Reps will be working with players over the next three days at TPC River Highlands, fitting them into the new TSR models and gathering their performance feedback. With that in mind, expect to see plenty of TSR drivers and fairways come Thursday morning at the Travelers Championship.
It’s worth noting that US Open winner Matt Fitzpatrick had the Titleist TSi3 in his bag en-route to hitting 70% of fairways at The Country Club – it’ll be fascinating to see how quickly he switches out of his trusty old gamer.

Starting with looks, and there is a slight air of deja-vu when it comes to the aesthetics of the TSR. Not this is a bad thing though as I thought the TSi series…
