The TS2 was Titleist's answer to a simple complaint: their drivers looked great and felt great, but they gave up ball speed and forgiveness to the bigger, more forgiving heads from other brands. TS stands for Titleist Speed, and this 2018 release kicked off that project. The TS2 is the forgiving, higher-launching model in the line, sitting next to the lower-spinning TS3.

Titleist got the speed gains mostly by going thin. A thinner crown freed up weight that engineers pushed low and deep in the 460cc head, which is what gives the TS2 its higher launch and steadier flight. The face is speed-optimized, so strikes off the toe and heel hold their ball speed better than older Titleist drivers did.

This is a driver for the player who wants Titleist looks and feel without babysitting every swing. It launches high, spins on the higher side of the TS pair, and stays straighter than the TS3. If you fought to keep older Titleist drivers in the air, the TS2 fixes that.

• Mid-handicap players who want more launch and forgiveness but still want a Titleist in the bag
• Golfers coming off older Titleist drivers like the 917 or 915 who struggled to get the ball up
• Players with moderate swing speeds who lose height and carry with lower-launching heads
• Anyone who wants tour-level adjustability through the SureFit hosel without a fiddly setup

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Titleist TS2 and TS3?

The TS2 is the more forgiving, higher-launching, slightly higher-spinning of the two. It has a fixed rear CG position tuned for stability. The TS3 adds a movable SureFit CG track for shot-shape tuning and spins a bit lower, which suits faster or more consistent ball strikers. If you want easy launch and straight flight, go TS2. If you want to work the ball and cut spin, go TS3.

Is the Titleist TS2 adjustable?

Yes. It uses the SureFit hosel with 16 independent loft and lie settings, so you can change loft and lie separately. There's also a SureFit CG weight in the sole to bias the flight toward draw, neutral, or fade. You adjust both with the included torque wrench.

Is the TS2 a forgiving driver?

For its era, yes. The thinned crown moved weight low and back, which raised the MOI and made off-center hits hold ball speed better than earlier Titleist drivers. It won't out-forgive a dedicated game-improvement head from a brand chasing max MOI, but among player-friendly drivers it's stable and easy to hit straight.

Who should play the Titleist TS2?

Mid-handicappers and moderate swing speed players who want more height and carry, and anyone upgrading from an older Titleist driver that felt low-launching. It's also a fit for better players who simply want the more forgiving TS option over the TS3.

What lofts does the Titleist TS2 come in?

The TS2 came in 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, and 11.5 degree stock lofts. Because of the SureFit hosel, each of those can be adjusted up or down about 1.5 degrees, so the effective loft range is wider than the stamped numbers suggest.
