No sir. He was on previously with the release of their last irons.
Interesting comments on Titleist’s 2 year release cycle approach by JT. It seems like it’s working really well for them.
JT has a ton of confidence in this release.
JTs irons that are in his bag look so freaking good it’s sick. And the new irons that are coming out…I can’t wait to hit them from what he was telling us at Ballyhack.
Hmmmm. New irons!
Did he call you CanDan?
That missing [B]”eh”[/B] in the middle bothers me… :ROFLMAO:

So Winn users go through 2-3 wedges a season? ?
Switching wedges when the grip wears out. :unsure: I like that.
I think this is motivating me to retire the current lob wedge also.
Glad you guys are enjoying!! JT is a great human to have on.
have not had a chance to listen yet but I will.
Great show [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER]!
Josh was spot on about how cool it was to be able to play the TSR3 w/ Stephanie. She is def. a stick (shot -1 on front Day 2). I asked her after she piped yet another drive if it’s just the coolest thing to hit a ball like that w/ the actual driver that she designed. Her reply was “absolutely!”
Also loved how Josh mentioned that the TSR line works for all sorts of players. I was lucky enough to watch [USER=56250]@Kmench[/USER] just hit nuke after nuke on the range and then played w/ [USER=5377]@Roadrunner[/USER] and witness him just hit that baby draw into fairway every time as Josh said.
This was an awesome listen. Enjoyed it. A company that makes something that will work for everyone.
I want to go out to TPI with you for the new T100 fitting lol….seriously let’s do it
What a great listen and don’t have to tell me how great the TSR line is! Love my 4 with the 1K Black!
Now, left dot….haha! The convo you guys had explained exactly why I enjoy it so much! Looking forward to what they do with the ProV line next year. The Dot hunt continues and will know next week if I can gather more of this fuel. Until then I will wait and see what they bring next year.
Great stuff guys!
Really enjoyed the TSR1 name drop even though everyone knows it’s coming :LOL:
Also you didn’t introduce as THE ORIGINAL Off Course. Made me sad lol
JT made a great point of not changing grips on wedges. Never really thought about it like that.

Yeah I heard that comment and immediately thought “uh I’ve changed my 54 grip twice now…” :ROFLMAO:
Great listen. I really like how Titleist wants to make sure there’s genuine noticeable performance benefits from one line to the next when they consider release cycles. Not that other companies *don’t* think about that, but they want to make sure you can pick up a new club and go “yeah definitely better/different”.
Flying home to Tucson, I finally had a chance to listen to the podcast – great interview, and I appreciate the shoutout from Josh!!

Should I keep that going?
I’ve been debating a different entry to the show. I didn’t know if that had run its course.

I am going to start capturing the durability of my wedges throughout the year. As I only use my 58 out of the bunkers (generally speaking), the other two look fantastic by comparison.

TPI is such a cool place.
The left side range they have set up to look like a golf hole is brilliant.

Your show my friend! I just noticed it was missing for the first ti e sine you started it and I missed it lol
Really enjoyed the show, pretty excited to see how they improve the current t100 line which already feels amazing!

That was a really interesting tidbit there. Also enjoyed the rest of the talk about wedges.
Man, this one was really good, bouncing all through the product line and a bit of teasing of what’s to come.
And [USER=7614]@Candan[/USER], take the leap ?

Finally got around to listening to this yesterday, SO good to hear JT’s voice again after seeing him last month at Ballyhack. Great convos, TSR is the freaking real deal and it was cool to hear your TSR4 story with your center contact, but ultra high spin/descending blow type swing. I am almost the exact opposite, I generate fairly low spin even at ~110mph swing speed (2000-2500) because I have a neutral to slightly ascending blow with driver, but I am all over the face. The TSR2 is absolute money for me.
Also, grind talk and wear talk on wedges/SM9 was fascinating and really illuminating. I have an S grind for the 56* and an M grind for the 60*. The 56* is my go to for tighter turf and sand conditions and I’ll chip with it when I want some spin. The 60* is the one where I’ll play with face angle, flop shots, etc. I plan to get a 52* in an F grind for full shots, soft sand and soft turf.
GREAT show. Awesome to hear about the TSr launch, as well as some sneak peeks on what’s coming down the road with balls, wedges, and irons. Thanks.
