The Titleist TS2 and TS3 are 460cc drivers that Titleist released in September 2018, and they were built mainly to add ball speed. They came out of a two-year effort Titleist called the Speed Project, which started after tour players asked the company to make its drivers as fast as possible.
What the Speed Chassis changed
Titleist grouped the TS technology under the name Speed Chassis. The cast titanium crown was 20 percent thinner than the crown on the earlier 917 driver, and a refined Radial VFT face saved up to six grams, thin enough that the score lines were lasered on rather than etched. Titleist moved that saved weight low and back to give the TS drivers the lowest center of gravity it had made in a driver, with MOI up to 12 percent higher than the 917. A more streamlined head shape was designed to cut drag by up to 20 percent. The drivers reached golf shops on September 28, 2018.
TS2 vs TS3
The TS3 has the SureFit CG cartridge in the sole, which lets you shift weight toward the heel or toe to favor a draw or fade. The TS2 drops the cartridge and uses a fixed weight position aimed at forgiveness. Both use the SureFit hosel, which offers 16 loft and lie combinations.
Common questions
Is the Titleist TS2 or TS3 more forgiving?
The TS2 was designed as the more forgiving of the two, since it has no adjustable CG cartridge and keeps its weight in a fixed position. The TS3 gives up some of that for the ability to tune ball flight.
Can I adjust the loft on a used TS2 or TS3 driver?
Yes. Both have the SureFit hosel with 16 settings, so you can change loft and lie with the Titleist wrench as long as the shaft adapter is a Titleist SureFit fitting.
