Titleist introduces ultra-lightweight TSR1 metalwoods

Engineered for the moderate swing speed player – those with driver swing speeds less than 90 mph – TSR1 promotes optimal launch conditions through an ultra-lightweight design, enhanced aerodynamics and strategically placed Center of Gravity (CG).

The line is designed to bring these players effortless speed, distance and high launch without sacrificing forgiveness, looks or feel.

The TSR1 driver is built for ultra-lightweight speed and distance. According to industry research, the moderate speed player accounts for roughly one-third of all golfers worldwide. The TSR1 driver provides these players with the launch characteristics and speed to deliver effortless added yards to every drive.

As a maximum performance 460cc driver, TSR1 is roughly 40 grams lighter than TSR2, with weight savings coming from a lighter head weight, 40-gram shaft and lightweight grip. The elimination of excess weight, combined with improved aerodynamics and a similar “boat tail” shape to TSR2, helps golfers swing TSR1 faster through the air.

Multi-Plateau Variable Face Thickness technology found in other TSR driver models assists in speed retention from off-center hits, while a deep CG almost perfectly centered to the face promotes higher launch and exceptional ball speed.

“The TSR1 line represents a continued commitment to deliver speed to every style of player,” Titleist Director of Metalwood Development Stephanie Luttrell said. “With the TSR1 driver, we found more speed and launch for the player through a lightweight design, better aerodynamics and our deepest CG ever in a Titleist driver.”

TSR1 drivers feature MMT SpeedMesh shafts that play at under 40 grams in all flexes, offering ultra-lightweight speed paired with incredible stability and energy transfer at impact.

The lightest and highest launching TSR fairway metal, TSR1 is designed to help moderate speed players get even more speed and launch out of every strike.

TSR1 fairways have a larger footprint than the TSR2 offerings at 180cc, however, TSR1 is 20 grams lighter. An open hosel construction helps create a deeper CG placement that promotes higher launch and more forgiveness. TSR1 fairways also have a 15 percent higher moment of inertia (MOI) than their predecessor thanks to improved shaping and weighting.

For golfers seeking to get the golf ball up in the air higher and faster, TSR1 is designed to do just that.

“In designing TSR1 fairways, high launch was the top priority,” Vice President, Titleist Golf Club Marketing Josh Talge said. “We wanted to make the highest launching and most forgiving fairway we could. The result makes for a seamless transition from TSR1 driver through the top end of the bag.”

Built for golfers seeking distance and stability in their hybrid game, TSR1 hybrids achieve more speed and higher MOI through its enhanced profile and ultra-lightweight construction.

A larger “wood-type” clubhead allows for a deeper CG placement and a more confidence-inspiring look at address. Despite the larger profile, the TSR1 hybrid’s design achieves performance gains without increasing swing weight.

“Keeping with the increased demand for higher lofted fairways from players, TSR1 hybrids are the most ‘wood-like’ hybrids we have ever made,” Talge said. “With a larger profile and a slightly longer shaft, TSR1 hybrids promote the speed and launch golfers may want from a fairway but with the added gapping flexibility to fit into the rest of the bag.”

SRP: $949 (drivers); $569 (fairways); $479 (hybrids).
