While the new TSR drivers are sure to get the largest share of initial attention, make no mistake, Titleist knew they had their work cut out for them to take the immensely popular TSi fairways and improve upon them for this release as well.
How did they do it? By focusing on what they call the “Four F’s”, Flight, Feel, Form, and Forgiveness.
Say hello to the three new TSR fairway metals.
Titleist TSR Fairways
A major focus with this release was in trying to perfect the CG within each model, what Titleist ended up with is the lowest CG they have ever built into a fairway. By achieving this, they have created a higher launching clubhead which means more playable for golfers of all types.
This CG movement was of course done by removing and replacing weight elsewhere in the heads, to do that Titleist created what they are calling their “Open Hosel Construction”. Typically, a lot of weight is located in the hosel region of a design, Titleist has removed a significant portion of that by opening the hosel and moving that weight into specific locations depending on the clubhead in the lineup.
The TSR fairway release is made up of three different clubheads, but no, they are not the same as the drivers. Here, Titleist is introducing the TSR2, TSR2+, and TSR3 fairway metals.
Titleist TSR2 Fairway
The follow up to the incredibly successful TSi2 fairways, the TSR2 builds on that same foundation of easy launch, massive forgiveness, and impressive distance. This clubhead is the lowest CG of the three TSR fairway designs, in fact, Titleist is also calling it the lowest CG ever for an all-steel design. The TSR2 is a high-launch and mid-spin club which offers the company’s SureFit adapter for additional adjustability. Worth noting, like the TSR2 driver, gone is the grey finish which the TSi2 had as now the look blends with the whole lineup.

Loft Options: 15.0, 16.5, 18.0 RH/LH, 21.0 RH Only
Titleist TSR2+ Fairway
This one is going to turn some heads.
Listening to its Tour Staff, Titleist went to the design table and came back with an answer to their clamoring for a tee-biased fairway metal which could still be used off the deck. While it won’t be for everyone, this stronger lofted design fills a need in the TS family that is sure to excite many.

The TSR2+ has a larger overall profile than the TSR2, including a taller face. What it also offers over its sibling? More forgiveness. Due to its profile, this club features the deepest CG location of any Titleist fairway, that means maximizing long and straight. In all, it is a 13-degree rocket launcher. As is the case with the whole lineup, the SureFit adapter will also allow some fine-tuning.

Loft Options: 13.0 RH/LH
Titleist TSR3 Fairway
Finally, the TSR3, the precision instrument of the new TSR fairway metals. This head not only features the SureFit adapter, but also the new five-point Adjustable CG Track System which adds to the precision aspect. A mid-high launch and low-spin design, this is the players fairway that showcases not just power but workability for the demanding golfer. With a classic and sleek shape as well as a compact look at address, the TSR3 rounds out the lineup very well.

Loft Options: 15.0 and 16.5 RH/LH, 13.5 and 18.0 RH Only
The Details
Like the drivers, the TSR fairway metals will release on 9/23/2022 and feature the same wide-ranging, no upcharge and custom shafts. As standard, the lineup will offer Project X’s HZRDUS Red CB and HZRDUS Black 4G, as well as the Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei AV Blue with Xlink and Tensei 1K Black. More than that, for a $200.00 upcharge the Graphite Design Tour AD UB, Tour AD IZ, and Tour AD DI will also be available. Yes, there is a full catalog of other full upcharge shafts, but the Graphite Design “Premium” level option is quite cool to see. The TSR fairways will be priced at $349 for the standard options, and $549 for premium.

Top of the bag is slowly going right back where it was before I tinkered ?
Hahaa yes my TSR2 4wood is boring as well.
My 2+ isn’t boring, it’s a rocket ship.
That said, I have found if I try to hit a small cut with it in either case, things go WAY better. Straight to like 10 yard cut and it gets up in a hurry. And I still think this is top 3 best feeling fairways I’ve ever hit. Explosive but still feels solid and not springy, with that classic muted Titleist sound.
If it’s repeatable, that’s a big win!
Jury’s still out
But it certainly looks more promising with a cut swing!
Nothing wrong with a cut!
Put the 1K Black back in and this was the first shot I hit with it. Quite frankly didn’t hit it all that well, toed it, but just as I was hoping for with the shaft change, DIDN’T hook and just kinda stayed dead on line. Led to a 2 putt bird… Yeah it’s staying in! Should have never questioned the fitter I guess

I have tried many of the ‘23 drivers and I am not sure that any of them is better for me than the TSR3. I keep thinking about the TSR2+ fairway.
I play the TSR3 3-wood and love it. Definitely hit some if you have a store near you with demos.
I can’t hit the 2+ with the shaft that I would want. I have only seen them with Hzrdus Black in stores.
Super love the TSR2 4 wood. Really nice forgiveness and height. I still love the TSi fairways too.
Back to standard loft, and just let it go. It’s a rocket.
Off the turf when I remember what my fitter for the Titleist Experience told me and take a little scuff of turf with it, it’s not hard to elevate there either. I see why internally marketing didn’t really want to put the loft on the club itself, it doesn’t at all play like a 13.0 fairway.
Have you thought about giving the 14.5 a try?
Love them! Long and easy to elevate, and they have the best sound out there IMO.
Nah, no need to. I hit peaks off the tee with this at 36/37 so I don’t leave anything on the table really
Can you expand on what you mean by flattened it out? How was the launch compared to your previous FW?
Caved the face in. The second picture is how the face should be lol

Launch was great, definitely off the tee it was higher. I wanna say when hitting at the range off the grass they’d be pretty similar in launch and height but the TSr definitely went further.
I kind of thought that was what you meant.
I love that the TSR2 is really forgiving but you can still actually work the ball somewhat if you need to. My previous more forgiving fairway woods always had a shot shape they wanted to follow – usually a draw. If I wanted the ability to hit that cut, I usually needed to go with something less forgiving. TSR2 lets me have both.
Had some pro-shop credit and decided to get fit for a new one.
Did fitting yesterday with a Titleist rep at our club and got fit for the TSR3 15* with the AD IZ-7 X-Stiff
Excited to get it in my hands. I’ve got the TSR3 driver and love it. Tried out the TSI3 and hated it…
1) Sometimes, despite that I’m usually a pretty solid driver of the ball, I have a rough day with the big stick and an alternative would be awesome.
2) I’m trying to eliminate full swing, higher lofted wedges based on some discussion with @MSEASU and Marni at Titleist, and as a result I’m finding that full swing wedge gaps matter less and I’m pretty much never using my 60*. I could easily eliminate it and add another top bag option.
The other option would be to slot something into a 3H type spot, but I’m not sure whether I need the tight gaps that would create past 210 yards more than an easier tee market.
Also, I tried something I saw on an instructional video yesterday where I teed the ball up just a touch higher than normal and took the ball slightly more forward, to get a little bit of a driver type, more level to slightly ascending strike. It carried 252 ?
Excited to see how that works out for you! Still a ponder for me
Case in point to both of these. I hit the 4W once in my Thanksgiving round with the intent of hitting it to a 235-240 number, reflecting that it was in the 40’s. Teed it up slightly higher like I mention in the quoted post and absolutely bombed it. 255, through the fairway
I really need to try the 2+ next time I’m in the golf shop because holy crap, that thing could be going STUPID far.

Such a great club. Was almost as long as my driver though so I didn’t use it as much as I hoped.
Very curious about how it will fit in. I’m hoping it will be more consistent for me than driver but still able to hit off the deck for long approaches. I used to have an Aeroburner Mini 13* which was exactly this, but it was too draw biased for me.
3’s a crowd! Should be fun to see how we all get on with them.
