I just bought the TSR2, and I absolutely love it. This new model doesn't look too different overall and the performance between the two wouldn't add an additional $250 in my opinion, so I'm happy with my buy.

The best thing about Titleist is, when they bring out their ever so slightly better, overpriced clubs, the previous generation clubs become somewhat affordable.
@LetsPlayThru4 ай бұрын
That’s true. One thing I’ll give them credit for is they don’t release every 6 months like TaylorMade and Callaway. So you know it will def be a bigger step up each time.

From your description I'm interested in GT3. I prefer the smaller head with a deeper face profile. My misses tend to be up and down on the face rather than toe and heel strikes. I really like the sound of Titleist drivers over the higher pitched metallic sound most produce.
