Cool to see JT going with a more forgiving head this week. I’m surprised more tour players, especially Titleist players, don’t do this. My son (14) just went from TS3(Ventus Blue 6s Velocore Siff flex) to TSi2(AD IZ 6 X-Flex). He is loving the little extra bit of forgiveness while keeping that penetrating ball flight.
Agreed. I’m curious about the tsi2 because I’m in between lofts on the tsi3 head.
how does the tsi2 sound outside relative to the 3?
I noticed a lot of tour players play the TSi3 in the upright setting as it is fade biased. I had to play it upright as well. Maybe the TSi2 can play at the standard lie angle and not be as fade biased.
Eddie i thought the sound was similar between my son’s TS3 and TSi2. I’m not sure about the TSi3. My son is a strong junior player. His miss with his driver is low heel, which produced a weak block with the 3. The same shot with the 2 is much less penalizing. However, he isn’t getting the spinny ball on solid strikes like he has with Max and/or forgiving heads. For him the TSi2 is in between the players head and a “Max” head. Solid shots are still very penetrating.
Chubbs01 why do you think so many utilize the upright setting?
kyledrum2002 could be any number of reasons, but I’d imagine for faders it helps them start the ball slightly left of target while still allowing the ball to fall right. A flatter lie would tend to start the ball right and have it go further right; obviously not great.
what puzzles me is why the OEMs’ products for better players tend to have lie angles so flat they’d be unusable for the vast majority of their staff players. Makes very little sense. A stock lie angle of 55* on a 3 and 5 wood? Never seen a tour player build anywhere near that flat.
Chubbs01 this has been my experience with SIM2 Max set toward upright…..really helped soften my fade
