A few months ago Titleist released their brand new TSi2 and TSi3 drivers. Just like the previous lineup of TS, the 1 and 4 were not far behind and today they are being made official. The Titleist TSi 1 and TSi 4 are quite a bit different than the previously released models, yet are made up of the same high tech materials.
If you missed our review of the original TSi drivers, click here. Tested in the THP Tech Studio both the Titleist TSi1 and TSi4 are quite opposite in terms of who they are geared towards. As like all of our TESTED! series, we give a bit of info, show the swings and then breakdown the data for you.
After watching the video above, which one of the Titleist TSi drivers would fit you best? For more information, check out their website at www.titleist.com.
The Details

Perfect drive brought to you by TSi4.
What is that ball?
Grabbed a TSI4 with Tensei Raw White stiff, based on marketing, I have no business playing that combo. On a good day my driver swing speed hovers around 90-92, other days it’s lower. Only a few rounds in (haven’t got any launch monitor numbers), but it is performing well. Nice flight, on the low side with very minimal right spin. Longer by about 10 yards than a normal good TSI2 drive. On a soaking wet course, recently reopened after a week long closure due to rain and flooding.
It is a nice head shape, but that face is much smaller than I’m used to!
Titleist velocity matte pink.
Found the sweet spot with the head set at C1 – so up .75 and the face slightly closed. A few bad hits resulted in 3000 spin, but the majority were in the low mid 2000s, about 14 degree launch with a slight draw (surprising for me). Club head was still mid to high 80s, ball speed mid to high 110s. 190ish carry, 210 total.
Time is ticking on outdoor golf, I hope to see if this translates to the course.
Man this TSi4 is complete joy to hit. The sound…the sound just makes me want to keep hitting more balls.
My back is now telling me not to listen!
So much fun.
Any idea what your spin rate is with it?
Typically 2900. My new roll out is sweet haha.
Big Mistake on my part. Not letting others hit it, but knowing when to offer.
Had a guy I was playing with today ask after seeing the glory. Should have know better.
Hit the top of the face multiple times. (Sky ball) and when I got it back I could see where the face chipped off. Sounds different too.
Buffed it out when I got home and sharpied the chips.
To say I’m sad is an understatement. If you could love a driver.. this one qualifies.
That guy should offer to replace the head for you, I feel for u
Aw, man … I’d be sad, too. And I’d hope the other guy would offer to replace it. Damn … hate that for you.
I agree, but I was the one to offer. Beside myself!
Was trying to hit irons off the tee to play my T100s on approach. Wasn’t paying that one of attention and happened a few times.
Didn’t really check it out until I heard a different sound when I did hit it. Guess they didn’t really care or are used to that type of flight.
Guess I should look at others driver condition requesting to hit mine. I will from now on.
Not noticeable unless you hold it up close really after the sharpie and polish. Sound is off and no paint will fix that.
No more bombs…haha
This just blows
All three times I used it on the course I was in the fairway, just off, or on the green and very playable.
The last Par 4 I had found a Chrome Soft Flag ball on the way to the tee box. I figured I would hit it and see how it felt. Man did it feel good, a little softer than my gamers and same flight and tracking. Will have to check out the offerings and see what in that series would best fit me as I liked the feel and result off the club face.
Right away I new it was going to be good, just can’t see the green over the small knoll and sand traps. I didn’t sink the 15ft eagle putt, but just lipped by for a tap in birdie!

Finished the day 1 over, so both the T100s and the TSi4 are in the bag for a while!
I sold my TSi4 9* driver and went to a fitting today at PGA Tour SS. I did their tour van fitting on GCquad. I ended up fit for a TSi4, lol. Only the 8* head turned down to 7.25* and with a slightly softer shaft than what I had. The MCA Tensie AV Raw White in 75 gram/x-flex. Carry back to around 280-290 and total 300-310. Club head speed averaged 115. Longest was 117 club speed, 171 ball speed, for 311 total.
I also realized I was doing something wrong with my swing. I started out swinging around 110 but changed my grip from strong to more neutral and I guess that freed up my wrists because I jumped to 115+.
Just roping it all three times I pulled it out!
The sound is still not the same as when I had it new, but I can get over it I guess if it keeps performing. Will hold off on finding a replacement head until the performance (or some of the new stuff) starts to fade.
Soooo much fun!
