Max Game Improvement Driver

The Titleist TS1 is the lightest driver in the TS family, and that is the whole point of it. Titleist stripped weight out of everywhere they could, the head, the shaft, the grip, so a player with a smoother or slower swing can move it faster. Faster clubhead speed with less effort is the trade this driver makes, and for the right golfer it works.

Think of this as Titleist's answer for the player who has watched their driver distance slip. Maybe your swing speed sits in the 80s or low 90s. Maybe age or a bad back has taken some zip off your move. The TS1 leans into a high launch and a light overall build to give you carry you might not be getting from a heavier, lower-spinning head. It won't turn a 78 mph swing into a bomber, but it can add a few yards and get the ball climbing.

This is not a low-spin, tour-style driver, and Titleist never pretended it was. If you swing hard and hit down on it, the TS1 will balloon on you. Matched to the golfer it was built for, though, it does exactly one job and does it well: help slower swings launch higher and carry farther.

  • Swing speeds in the mid 80s to low 90s that have lost yards and need help getting the ball up.
  • Senior players or anyone who wants a lighter driver they can swing faster with less effort.
  • Golfers who launch the ball too low and want more carry rather than more roll.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Titleist TS1 good for slow swing speeds?
Yes, that is exactly who it was built for. The ultralight build helps you generate more clubhead speed with the same effort, and the high launch turns that speed into carry. If your swing is in the 80s or low 90s, this is one of the easier drivers to get the ball airborne with.
How light is the TS1 compared to a normal driver?
Noticeably lighter. Titleist cut weight from the head, shaft, and grip to bring the total build well below a standard driver. The idea is simple physics: a lighter club is easier to swing fast, and for a player without a lot of speed to spare, those extra few mph matter.
Can you adjust the TS1 driver?
Yes. It uses Titleist's SureFit hosel with 16 loft and lie settings, so you can raise or lower launch and tweak your shot shape. There's also a SureFit CG weight in the sole to adjust ball flight and spin. You can fine-tune it without swapping shafts.
Should I get the TS1 or the TS2?
Pick the TS1 if you have a slower or smoother swing and want the lightest, highest-launching option. The TS2 is a heavier, more mainstream game improvement head for players with a bit more speed. If you swing above the mid 90s, the TS2 will usually suit you better.
Will the TS1 help me hit the ball farther?
It can, if slow speed and low launch are what's costing you distance. The light build helps you swing faster and the high launch adds carry. It won't add distance for a fast, aggressive swinger, since that player needs less spin and more weight, not more launch.
