Titleist TSR3 Fairway Wood

Wood Options & Stock Shafts

Tour Fairway Wood

Titleist built the TSR3 fairway for golfers who already have a fairway flight and want to control it, not patch it. This is the shot-shaper of the TSR fairway family. Smaller footprint than the TSR2, a flatter and more compact crown, and a face that rewards center contact more than it bails out the toe. If you sweep the ball off the deck and tend to favor a fade or a draw, this is the head Titleist points you toward.

The headline feature is the SureFit CG Track on the sole. It is a movable weight you slide and lock to set a draw, neutral, or fade bias, so you are tuning launch direction without changing loft. Pair that with the SureFit adjustable hosel for loft and lie, and you get real fitting range in two separate dimensions. That matters because a lot of fairway woods force you to fix your start line by changing loft, which then changes your launch and spin too.

Spin runs lower here than on the TSR2, and the ball flight is a touch more penetrating. That is great off the tee and on firm fairways, but it asks more of your strike. Catch it thin and the TSR3 will not flip the ball into the air for you the way a game-improvement fairway does. It is honest about what it is.

• You deliver a consistent strike off the deck and off the tee and do not need extra forgiveness to get the ball airborne.
• Your fairway wood tends to spin too much or launch too high and you want a flatter, more controlled flight.
• You like to work the ball both ways and want a weight setting that supports your shot shape.
• You want loft, lie, and shot-shape bias as separate adjustments rather than one compromise setting.
• Lower-handicap and tour-style players will get the most out of the smaller head and demanding face.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the TSR3 and TSR2 fairway?

The TSR2 is the more forgiving, easier-launching option with a larger footprint and adjustable weighting tuned for stability. The TSR3 is smaller, flatter, and lower spinning, with the SureFit CG Track for draw, neutral, or fade bias. Pick the TSR3 if you strike it well and want control. Pick the TSR2 if you want help getting the ball up and forgiveness on mishits.

What lofts does the TSR3 fairway come in?

Titleist offers the TSR3 fairway in 13.5, 15, 16.5, 18, and 21 degrees. The SureFit hosel then adjusts each head up to 1.5 degrees stronger or weaker, so a 15 degree head can effectively cover roughly 13.5 to 16.5 degrees depending on how you set it.

How does the SureFit CG Track work?

It is a weight that slides along a track on the sole and locks into a draw, neutral, or fade position. Moving the weight toward the heel promotes a draw, toward the toe promotes a fade, and the center setting plays neutral. It changes your launch direction and shot bias without touching loft, which the hosel handles separately.

Is the TSR3 fairway good off the tee?

Yes. The lower spin and more penetrating flight make it a strong tee club on tight holes, and the adjustability lets you set a fade or draw bias to match the hole. The tradeoff is that it is less forgiving than the TSR2, so off-center hits off the tee will cost you more distance and accuracy.

Is the TSR3 fairway hard to hit for a mid handicapper?

It can be. The head is smaller and the face is less forgiving than a game-improvement fairway, so it rewards solid contact and does not do much to rescue thin or heel strikes. If you flush your fairway woods most of the time and want flight control, a mid handicapper can absolutely play it. If you need help launching the ball, the TSR2 is the safer fit.
