The Titleist TSR2+ 3-wood is a new addition to the TS family of metalwoods for 2022. Designed as an option for those who want a fairway wood as predominantly a second driving option, it is being billed as a “longer, more forgiving, tee-biased 3-wood.”
It comes into the range alongside the all round playability of the TSR2 and the more adjustable TSR3 options. One of the key differences comes with the shape and size of the TSR2+.

For me, not being the best fairway wood player, looking down on some additional loft was more confidence-inspiring. What really impressed, and surprised me, about the TSR2+ was how easy it was to launch – Titleist says it has the deepest CG of any of the brand’s fairway metals. In my launch monitor testing, my average…
