when rick did 5 generation driver testing i think the only company that improved from model to model was titleist - so while these might not be out of this world i respect the fact they do improve no matter how small and are not brining our new gear every 6 weeks

[@Mazrim420]

Cobra did also. He did Cobra f9, then Cobra Speedzone, then Cobra LTDX and each step up he would gain 5 yards or so on average carry distance. F9 was around 285, SZ was around 290-300, and the LTDX was 300 - 307 I think was his longest with it

Friend of mine played on tour back in the day. At the start of the season he got a gross (dozen dozen), brand new Titleist balata's just to use as his practice balls for the next few months. My eye's spun, but since then always try and use the best quality balls I can to practice with, especially short game. Can't believe people who practice short game with range balls.

practice provs are $30 a dozen instead of $48. not exactly cheap but if your just practicing short game its not out of the question and well worth it. i bought 2 dozen just to practice chips, bunker shots and pitches

Rick. Before watching any of your videos I was a walking billboard (on the course) for Titleist. Because of you, I have opened up my eyes and started testing / using new brands. Currently have a Cobra driver and a TaylorMade wood. Trust that your videos are serving a great purpose to a lot of golfers, at all different handicaps. Thank you for your honest feedback.

I was swinging an old Cleveland Hibore with a R flex shaft. Used to hit it a ton. I was out of golf for awhile and I’ve gained weight and gotten a bit stronger. I went and got fitted for a new driver. Out of 5 different brands I swung the TSi3 improved me the best. My dispersion was great and I went from 105mph club head speed to 114mph with the Hzrdus smoke RDX 6.5. Spin down from 5800!!! To 2700. Went from 240 carry to 285 carry. It’s amazing how different clubs work for different people!! Cheers! Love the content!!

Rick you are by far my favorite instructional, reviewer, and ball tester out there. You helped me with your videos I was shooting high 80s to mid 90s and you helped me shoot mid 70s and low 80s now thank you. But I have to have up playing the game for awhile now because my irons and hybrid where stolen from me and I don’t have that kind of money to spend to get the same irons and hybrid my friend lended me his ping irons for the time being but hes starting to play more now so I had to return them back to him.My heart hurts because I love this game you helped me enjoy and grow with this game, and even that my irons and hybrid was stolen from me I will still love this game. Thank you for helping me grow with this game and making me a better player and making me a better person. Thank you rick you have a fan for life

[@drvs2262]

All that to try and scrounge some free golf gear. 😂

[@noelgarcia6707]

Do you know what’s crazy about that tailor maid already sent me back three irons but I turned them down because I didn’t earn them because a good friend of mine heard what happened I didn’t even tell him and Rick told a story about how one of his clubs got stolen and so that just reminded me of that time so before you pass judgment on somebody please know the meaning behind it

[@noelgarcia6707]

And plus not only that I got a hold of Rick’s email and I sent him an email telling him do not send me any free gear if you ever read it telling him I just remember that story that Rick had said and how he had a quick golfing for a little bit I don’t need I don’t want anything for free Because after I sent that comment I realize that’s what it looked like so I can understand your hate and then I sent him that email

[@richardchester3087]

Luckily, managed to pick up a fitted TS3 recently for roughly half the RRP of TSI3. Absolutely love it and will use the savings to put towards lessons to improve my skills (much more limiting in my case than the latest tech).

[@jamesmauckmd8931]

Rick- a couple years ago I purchased a TS1 after being fitted by the assistant pro at my home club. I absolutely love it. I need a forgiving driver as I am a high handicap golfer (25) with a slower swing. It only carries about 160-180 yards, 200 yards if I really hit it well, but much straighter. With watching your videos on hitting a driver, I have improved a lot this summer. Keep up the good work. Jim

[@mathieudeshaies3670]

Just came back from a fitting. Great experience. Tried all the new drivers and the TSi2 came out on top for me. Did not expect it at all especially against the g425, Rogue Max Cobra LTD and Stealth. It makes such a big impact on confidence.

[@cheemomugdoo799]

Me too, but it was the TSi3 for me. I had been using a 913 for years, and it was just too spinney. The fitter was a bit perplexed as to why since my swing is pretty neutral, but of all the drivers we tried (Mizuno, Callaway, Cobra, Ping, Titleist) it was the best. The Ping was close, and more forgiving, but on the best swings the Titleist was the winner. Of course the TSR's will be out soon, but from this video I bet they will be very close in performance to the TSi series.

[@adamboyle3331]

2:50 thank you. I don’t know why other reviewers can’t do something this simple yet informative.

[@grapetonenatches186]

Agreed. I like how Rick gets to the point with solid information.

[@markrotman1654]

Hit the TSi2 and TSi3 drivers today. i I think you nailed the review! Higher handicapper and found the TSi2 more forgiving for me with a tighter landing distribution. Had more issues with control on the TSi3, so my preference was the TSi2. My distance on each was similar with about 250 carry and 260-270 total (trackman, 10-12 deg launch, low spin rate)

[@matthewcawsey8167]

Had a custom fitting yesterday and left with the TSi3. My original driver was a 20-year-old Titleist 983k which I love. Did I notice a difference. OH YES! Amazing. You may not notice much if you change every year or two. 20 years? Night and Day. Awesome driver. 25 yards more carry, tighter dispersion. A keeper!

[@jerrygengler9515]

One of my local pros told a guy who asked him if "THIS Driver" which he had in his hands, really added 20 yards, and his reply was, if that was the case, by now I'd be hitting a driver over 600 yards...fixing your swing and contact spot adds yards....get lessons, fix that swing, then get fitted and that will add yards.

[@roddnelson1519]

I bought the TSi3 to replace the 915. I personally noticed a 10 to 20 yard carry difference. however for me I was able to get a much straighter ball flight and the sound was so much better. Meaty is an accurate description. Quite satisfying. I gave the 915 to a good friend who is undyingly grateful so a win win for me. Thanks Rick for a great review. You are the best!

[@deejayreimer57]

Bought the TS2 which was an upgrade from my 913 and I'm getting almost 20 more yards on it. The technology put into the TS series is hard to get better when it's already near the top! Love my Titleist driver and bought it a few weeks ago when they're clearing them out... If you can get a ts2 or 3 do it for a fraction of the price!

[@sirchdj]

I just bought a TS2 driver and 3 wood for the price I'd have to pay just for a TSi2 driver on it's own

Can always count on Rick to give the honest, no BS feedback. I hope people watch this and realize that really manufacturers are just after the “but maybe this will make me better” golfer. Ain’t the arrow, it’s the archer folks.

[@elchipotle623]

Lol. In fairness, he did mention he felt he lost too much distance-wise and didn't like the sound off the face. Plus it launched higher which he probably wouldn't want. Probably the Speedzone Extreme suits him better in those aspects.

When i test drivers i don't really look at distance a hole lot i like to look at look of club the feel and how accurate i am with it. I'm willing to give up 10 yards if I'm putting the ball in the fairway consistently. And I'm able to shape the ball consistently.

[@swizlestick]

a mile or a few yards?

[@brandonhatten3075]

I had done quite a bit of reading before I went for a fitting today. I had figured I would leave with the G425, but came home with the TSi2. In all I was fitted for: Rouge, G425, TSi2, and Stealth. The Titleist was far and away the most consistent for me and second only in distance to the Stealth. Absolutely love the sound and feel of the TSi2, again, not what I expected, as it wasn’t even on my short list. Happily surprised. Thanks for the review, Rick.

Your review videos keep getting better! Love it! I think it would be cool if you started incorporating more mid to high handicapper data in your reviews. I’m sure most of your subscribers are in that range and it would be interesting to see what this new tech does for a golfer with lower swing speed and higher chance of missing center of the club. Maybe not the best time to start doing it due to quarantine/social distancing but it would be cool to see more of it when you feel it’s safe.

Hard to explain why Tommy Fleetwood and other tour pros who are not contracted to a specific brand have out thin in their bag in and removed the TaylorMade Sim driver. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The TSi3 was the most popular driver at this years US OPEN. Go have a look at the TXG review.

[@lookkool]

The TXG club reviews are great. There are a lot of tour pros (not contracted) that put a TSi driver in their bag for a reason. The review from Rick was a let down...I don’t believe that he was even fitted for the drivers. Fitters want spin rates to be closer to 2000 rpms for his swing speed and the backspin on his TSi2 was at 2800 rpms.

I like the drivers I need a new one, going on a full bag fitting next year, but as far as you testing them goes I think the weather has a lot to do with it and what your carry distance and over all ends up being, cause whatever the weather is in the UK which I’m sure is pretty chilly, you will lose distance compared to when It’s right in the middle of the summer, but keep doing what your doing I love your videos keep being out great new content

Rick needs to baseline it with his own driver in the same session

[@sethjorgensen308]

I very recently just did a Titleist full bag club fitting. I hit both TSi2 and TSi3. I personally loved the feel of the TSi2, it felt like butter when connecting, it was amazing. I new immediately I liked that driver head. I then hit the TSi3, and it felt like I was hitting a brick, didn't feel good on the connection at all. I'm also coming from a Titleist D913 or 915 I can't remember. Either way, very old tech. The sound is definitely muted on the new drivers compared to my current one.

So I will be specific in my criticism. I disagree with his take about this line of drivers. I don't think it's fair to make the statement he did based on such a small sample size. I would almost guarantee that he could get better numbers with some shifting of weight and a shaft change. Is it possible that he is taking the contrarian stance when everyone else so far is raving about it? Of course it is. I wouldn't be surprised to see a "Revisit" video in the future when the TSi3 is being considered the "Driver of the Year"

They look absolutely clean but I’ll still slice into the next fairway

[@chadlynch9743]

You can fix that I fix my slice it one day and I am a junior

[@prod.by.mozalf]

Look, try to like hit the ball at the end of the club face, I did that and I never slice the ball now

[@davidoofdrums5921]

@@prod.by.mozalf so address the ball nearer the toe and swing like normal?

[@grapetonenatches186]

Next time just try hitting the ball straight and keeping it on the fareway.

[@TrevorDandy.]

SO I went through my fitting today for TSi. I walked in with a TS3 and it's for sale. TSi was better in every way. Looks, sound (oh my god it sounds perfect), the feel was 1000x better, the ball speed was only a couple MPH higher, but launch came down 3º, spin came down a couple hundred RPM and I got an extra 18 yards, mostly on the ground thanks to the flatter flight, It's MILES better than TS3

[@mulvihillmatt]

The TS3 and TSi3 are both gorgeous to look at. Too bad they're not all that impressive with distance.

[@Bogeypro256]

Have you been under a rock? Ts3 is long... not quite sim long, but almost.

[@Morleygolfs]

Was never really a fan of your swing over the years, but ive started liking it alot. Crunching it!

KZbin tech reviewer “so this is my daily driver” Rick Shiels.......

[@robjelley1138]

None of the new clubs are shifting the mark, the gains are small it’s the marketing that’s talking big gains!! Good review, drivers look nice great honest round up!

[@ahastar1141]

I love how wide the reactions are to this driver: Rick: 😒 Mark cross field: 🧐 Txg: 🤯 Mr short game: 😌

[@Brewtal2009]

the reason is obvious

[@martinstirling7949]

Michael Newton: 👍

[@JohnnysaidWhat]

Mark was really excited about it getting to 160. Mattie boy from TXG could hit a cardboard tube 300 carry so of course he loves most drivers

[@johnnypenso9574]

When it comes to drivers it's all about the spin, then feel & looks. All drivers from the big manufacturers are going to get the same ball speed w/in 1 mph or so. COR is maxed out so speed off the face is not going to change. All they can work with is spin, forgiveness and launch by moving weight around. You need to get it dialed in to the right spin rate for you and then it's down to feel and looks. I picked up a G410 and it slots right into the 200-2200 rpm range for me and it goes about as far as a driver can go with my 90-95 mph swing speed. Very happy with it.

[@finnobrien7604]

I swing driver about the same speed as you. Just curious, what carry and total distances do you average? Mine are about 235 carry and 250 total

[@cdb195]

I can't say this makes me want to upgrade to them. Sad that after 2 years this is all they could come up with.

[@jonramirez7629]

Great feedback and insight on both new Titleist drivers. Still in search for a low spinning driver as good and consistent as the the Taylormade SIM. Still haven’t found it. You the man Rick!

[@paulinsana153]

Rick don't know how you can keep saying that new equipment isn't impressing you. Your performance has plummeted over the past 7 years I have watched your channel. Love your videos for sure but there is a reason why Peter Finch waxes you on the course. You've become complacent in your game while he has honed his

[@tufph]

Meh, he's a coach + youtuber. Pretty sure he's not allowed to like new drivers.

[@golfraven5669]

Honest review. Glad to see a comparison with TS3 which I have in the bag. I said I will keep it in the bag for a long time and it kind of assures me that this is the right thing to do. TSi became quite popular on tour and I guess it is because it performs consistently rather than giving you outragous distances which most Tour Players already have. Still, TSi 3 looks sexy though

[@francissssss]

Rick - You can’t possibly expect the TSI2 to carry a decent distance when your spin rate is 2800... you’re not giving these clubs a fair shake and it’s not an accurate narrative... especially when you are catering to golfers that aren’t gear heads.

[@robroninja]

I just said the same thing! Not to mention TSi2 is for players who need more spin to carry the ball longer, Rick is definitely a TSi3 player. Clearly he was not correctly fitted for these drivers

[@lookkool]

Completely agree with you. The reviews by Rick and Peter Finch were a joke...the launch and spin rates were not optimized. The TXG reviews are the most accurate with Ian being a master fitter.

[@hunnymb]

Rick’s instructional videos have helped me hit more fairways this year! Unfortunately, I’m so used to hitting out of the rough, I’ve never really learned to hit off of the fairway 😆 Now looking for fairway iron and wood vids.... Another good review here! Thx!

[@golf007sd2]

So let me get this straight bud....you got "professional fitted" hence, customer fitted, for both of these drivers and then you went go out, hit the range in order to find which one is better, goes farther etc...etc. In addition, what is this BS about "no data?" Hmmmmmm exactly whom and where did you get fitted that failed to give you the data in regards to how you hit each of these driver heads, shafts used....? Come here bud....pull my finger? Who exactly was this "professional fitters?" Did they not have a QC Quad or Tracman...or was it that you just hit off the old POS lie board? Those of us that watch you and know a thing or two about club fitting were laughing at your comments....in regards to this clip. I'm a big fan of your Rick but this review was way sub par!

[@jamesratnage4923]

Love the clear honesty of your review Rick - legendary!

[@rockyibasco4142]

Maybe you weren't fitted properly. You don't discuss the shafts and settings you chose. Not convinced about your conclusions.

[@michaelmarcase7561]

My tsi3 is great! 8 loft degree with a tour ad di x6. I wouldn’t change right now for anything

[@jacobneely20]

I firmly believe, although some people don’t use Callaway or feel the same. They found some secret formula in drivers/woods they got hot faces and go far
