If I had a 15 yard cut/slice that was a consistent fairway finder, I'd take it. But if that slice could be fixed by the equipment, that's a 15 yard difference down the fairway.

chershey Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I did a driver fitting at Club Champion a couple of weeks ago. Once the fitter found the best shaft for me in my current TS3 head, he did everything he could to beat numbers I was getting from the TS3 and failed. The EPIC Flash SZ, Cobra F9, Taylormade M5, and a few other heads all failed to give me what I get from the Titleist TS3. For me, it is definitively the best driver on the market.

Cakuby Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I first did a Titleist Thursday event, then went multiple times with the pro at my local course, trying every brand offering and like several have mentioned none of the others came close to the TS3 for me. When doing the Titleist fitting the fitter told me it was the best on the market and he would put it up against any others, I figured it was just part of the sales pitch so to speak, even though there was no pressure from him. However, with each driver dialed in, the TS3 outperformed every brand, for me it was hands down the best driver on the market. I hit the Ping G410, M5 and M6, the Cobra F9, and Callaway Epic Flash SZ, the TS3 beat them all.

perseveringgolfer Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I took out the Demo TS3 9.5* at my club yesterday- loved it over my Cobra F9 10.5* thats a couple of weeks old. Going to use the demo club in 3 competitions coming up (that's where I'll see if it performs) and if it does I'll have to find the cash somewhere. Thing is I had fun with the TS3 yesterday, even enjoyed stepping on a couple that took me to parts of the course (fairway) I've not been at for awhile. I want it. Cobra reluctantly will be on ebay shortly.

Jus1412 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I know lots of weekend hackers that control a slice to come back to the fairway. Theres not a pro I know of that consider 15+ yards of movement either direction a fade or draw. They prefer 3-5 at the most. But like with all things golf there’s lots of ways to skin the cat and play this game at an enjoyable level Have you seen the Protracer curvature values on some of the pros shots!?

PMookie Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Just found fitting numbers from Club Champion in 2018 and I’m looking st the TS2 numbers and seeing they were the best of the bunch. The issue was that I told the fitter I wanted nothing going left. Well, the smallest dispersion circle was with the TS2, but it was slightly left of center. The spin was too high as well, but the consistency of ball speed, smash, etc was best with TS2. All the guy had to do was find a shaft and setting to get me down 400 RPMs and it would’ve EASILY stood out. Hmm.

perseveringgolfer Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Titleist came to my club 2 days ago, so took the opportunity to talk in detail to the fitter on what I feel and how I want a shaft to feel, as opposed to him just fitting me for 'X' shaft based on my SS. He listened then put me in a heavy boardy shaft to 'see what I can do' lol Numbers were decent but I had no idea where the head was during the swing. I persuaded him to try other shafts based on what I was looking for. He insisted the shaft doesnt make as much difference to the numbers as the head does, I questioned that but he insisted. He also said my SS was within 1mph for all the shafts regardless of weight and flex. Anyway, he eventually said he doesnt think the shaft I'm looking for exists Best numbers we got was from the Tensei shaft which according to Trackman was giving me an average 25yds extra carry over my norm. So I'll try it on the course for a few days and if it stays like that I'd be foolish not to buy.

All the good fitters I know find head first and then use the shaft to fine tune. When I did my 917 fitting we went thru both d2 and d3 heads and 9.5 and 10.5 lofts. With some minor tweaks to the settings. then we found 3 shafts that worked best and went with the one we both agreed had the swing rhythm the best null 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a light whippy regular flex on a guy swinging 110MPH with a fast transition will be a disaster on ANY head? Yes that's an extreme but surely the shaft plays a big part? Just asking for genuine interest. I have friends who cant even swing my S flex without topping or skittering it along the ground as they play heavy X flex. Overall I think both are important and its finding the right shaft/head combo that suits a persons swing transition and speed.
