While the Titleist TSR2 driver is one of the most forgiving the company has ever made, the TSR3 is one of the most advanced for players looking for speed, distance, and playability.
New for 2024, the TSR3 is packed with tech and design features that help elite players get the most out of their game from the tee.
Let’s take a closer look at everything the TSR3 has to offer.

Key Features
Speed Ring Variable Face Thickness Technology allows golfers to focus the CT/COR relationship into a precise point for maximum speed.
Refined clubhead profile increases aerodynamic capabilities.
SureFit Adjustable CG Track System allows for precise speed zone placement catered to your swing.
Design and Technology
The first thing I read about before I started testing the Titleist TSR3 driver was Speed Ring Variable Face Thickness Technology. That’s a mouthful to be sure, but it sounded interesting, and I wanted to know more about it.
This technology allowed Titleist to focus the maximum CT/COR relationship in a strategic point to make the sweet spot even sweeter. We’re talking about ball speed like you’ve never seen before.
Once I got into testing, I noticed a substantial increase in my clubhead speed. That’s thanks to some subtle refinements that have been made to make the TSR3 more aerodynamic.
Another cool feature is the SureFit Adjustable CG Track System that makes it easy to adjust the CG to your specific swing for optimal launch conditions and ball flight.
Lastly, SureFit adjustable hosel makes it easy to adjust loft and lie angle so you can really dial things in.
Just like the TSR2, there’s nothing new that really jumps off the page with the TSR3. Titleist just took what worked well already and made it even better.
Titleist TSR3 Driver
If you’re like me and need all the forgiveness and distance features you can get in a driver, you might be better off putting the Titleist TSR2 in your bag.
However, if you’re looking to not only maximize distance but achieve ultimate control and playability, the TSR3 will get you there.
This is an advanced golf club meant for advanced players.
PROS
- Speed Ring Variable Face Thickness Technology concentrates CT/COR in a central point for unbelievable ball speed.
- Sleeker design makes the driver more aerodynamically efficient.
- Lots of shaft options allow for easy fitting and customization.
CONS
- Driver lacks some of the forgiveness needed for high-handicappers and inconsistent ball strikers.
- Price point is higher than other drivers.
- Availability is dependent on demand and inventory levels.
Our Experience
I’ll be honest, the Titleist TSR3 driver was a lot of driver for me to handle. In other words, I’m just not a consistent enough ball striker to realize all the benefits it has to offer.
However, in testing, it was easy to see how hot this driver is when you catch it in the center of the clubface. I achieved some ball speeds I never had before.
I also picked up some clubhead speed. That had to do with the TSR3 being more aerodynamic than in years past.
Overall, this driver offers a lot for elite players that want control and speed. I just don’t happen to fall into that category.
