- Titleist TS3... A New 3-wood in my bag? Titleist have sent me a new Titleist ts3 fairway wood to play with. am I going to hit it miles off the tee? will I hit more fairways with it? is it suited for me? what fairway wood should I be using? what fairway wood should a mid handicap player be using? should you hit 3-wood off the tee instead of driver? win this video I take the brand new Titleist ts3 fairway wood out onto the golf course. will it stand the test of time? with the imminent release of the Taylormade m5 and Taylormade m6, and the Callaway epic flash ranges... this club is going to have to be special to stay in the bag.which will be the best 3-wood of 2019?
I bought the TS3 Driver and Fairway wood recently and never looked back, both with Evenflow shaft awesome purchase!!
Thanks for the comments James. Please test the TS3 vs all good new 3 woods for 2019.
I like the TS3 3 wood. I've been able to actually hit this thing and also off the deck. I'm very happy adding this to me bag
I’d just like to be able to actually hit my 3 wood. Most neglected club in the bag for me.
Same here Jeff, been searching for the one for so long but can't get one I love! Would go for 3 iron first every time. Maybe James will send me his old one now that the TS3 is going in the bag?😉
Hi James I can't wait to see all the new kit you have to test. Given the speed I change my clubs I will be ready for the new tested irons by 2050...... doesn't stop me drooling over the new stuff now though!! 😀
I know that feeling paul. I am still using my callaway x18 irons from 2008 a callaway 5w from around 2005 a hand me down driver from 2010. Putter and wedges are newish from 2015. And constantly drooling over m3 driver and p790 irons. Maybe one day 😂😂😂😂
Daz Smith
Hi Daz my set up is similar to yours mate. John Letters F90s from 2005 and Driver 3 and 5 Adams tight lies. My next newest set after that were made in 1977😂🤣😂🤣
Oh mate, don't peak too soon! I tested a Mizuno ST190 3 wood last week. It is unreal!!! I'm crap with a 3w but that thing was a weapon!
Koepka and Casey trying the driver so 3 wood must also be on their horizon.
After changing to the TS 3 driver (because of the great numbers on trackman and on course) I also tried the TS3 fairway woods and never thought It would replace my G400. ....but it performed so welll (more ballspeed and distance ) from the deck and off a low tee. Indeed ....Poefffff...straight down the fairway 😎👍🏽🏌️
I’ve been hoping you’d post a video on the TS2/TS3 fairway woods! I’ve heard nothing but great things about them. I know of a bunch of guys who switched to them including some you tubers and they can’t stop singing it’s praises!
For most of my life my 3wd was my favorite club in my bag. I used it a lot off the tee and off the deck. Also, I’ve almost always carried a Titleist FW. But as driver technology has improved I’ve found myself using my driver off the tee more and more. I’m generally really accurate with it. I average 285 total distance most days with a smooth swing and have been averaging 85-90% fairways hit. Because of this I’m using my fairway wood less and less.
I’ve recently puta Cobra F8 FW in the bag because its so forgiving off the turf(rails). It’s not quite as long as my old Titleist 917 but it has actually gotten me using my FW more again! I rarely use it off the tee though.
If the the TS3 can compete off the turf with the cobra it might actually give me another option off the tee again! Which would be nice!
Nice distance lefty!!!! 😍⛳️🎥🤙🏼
Playing in soft conditions in the southeast US, max carry is what it's all about. I find my normal high flight low spin ball still goes further than trying to hit down and trap it. It does run a bit more but the spin is so high it doesn't carry very well.
I have the TS2 3wood...I have a flat swing and have always had trouble getting woods in the air. I love this club...great feel and very good distance. Enjoy your new 3wood!!!
Love my TS3 driver and 13.5 FW. I use the 3 wood for mostly of the tee. All the par 5"s at my course a reachable in 2 with a long iron 3-4-5 iron. I carry the driver around 275-280 and the 3 wood 250-260. I use the Evenflow white 85G Xstiff in the 3 wood. I love the compact shape and look. Feel is also great.
Would love to see a similar vid with the TS2 for sure as that one has been billed as more of the bomber than the 3. And a 3w has to be forgiving off the deck to get a spot in my bag.
Excellent video. Much prefer this style of “review” than all the other guys on YT hitting 50 balls on a monitor and going through the numbers which us normal golfers have no chance of matching anyway. Personally I want to know how it performs on the course, in the wind, how it runs out etc. and that’s hard to do on a monitor.
Big thumbs up James 👍
Just replaced my 3wood and hybrid with a titleist 917 5wood. 3 wood was hardly ever used. Putting the 5 wood in has allowed me to hit more consistent and dropping the hybrid as it was very similar to the new club has allowed for more space else where. Maybe a extra long iron to bridge that gap we will see over the next few weeks.
I like a #3 wood to be useful off the tee, as my course has 5 Par 4s between 300metres and 360metres, and on several if you do not hit straight for 220 metres you end up in water or a bunker and a #3 wood is the safe option off the tee. Also relability off the deck is important and consistent accuracy when doing so.
3 wood is my kryptonite I hit every other club fine. Currently carry a 917. My TS3 arrives tomorrow 🤞 on a side note I never used fairway woods before.
I don't use a 3 wood in the spring I had a full line bag fit at titleist's national fitting centre and due to producing some of the lowest spin numbers the fitter had ever seen I was fit into a 5 and 7 wood, even though I'm a single figure handicaper, shows how important a proper fitting is.
Versatility and Consistency are a must for a 3 wood.
Lovely club, got one fitted three months ago and it has changed my game. Hope you will be happy with it and keep it in the bag, mine is going nowhere !
CBX hands down best 3 wood I’ve ever had. It’s my unicorn club, there to stay in my bag for a long long time. I’ve always struggled with my 3 wood but this club makes it incredibly easy.
Great video as always!
You make birdie putt look so easy..!!
And great Tee shots Mate.!!
Pooooooowww.!!!!
Nice video James. I paly the Titleist TS2 fairway wood 15 degree head cranked down to 14.25 degrees. I use mostly off the tee on long Par 4s or tight fairways
I have a TS3 driver, TS3 3 wood and an 818 H2 hybrid due to be delivered any day now.... these follow a set of Callaway X Forged 2018 irons and 2 Mack Daddy 4 wedges that arrived yesterday... all custom fitted. I am now torn between wanting to play with them, but not wanting to get them dirty 🤣🏌🏼♂️⛳️
Titleist have upped there game, if can get a few free agents like Brooks playing with these clubs they might get the edge on Taylor made.
i've had the same razr hawk 3-wood since it first came out - every other club in my bag has been swapped out except for it. learned to hit it off the deck when i went to scotland in 2015.
versatility is important for sure - i use it for normal 3-wood shots but i often use it when i need to control the ball flight instead of driver, hybrids, even long irons sometimes.
Confidence, ease of use that it was I look for in my 3 Wood.
I am using a callaway mini driver set at 13 for tee shots and fairway shots at the moment. Looking at getting ts3 driver and maybe a ts 16.5 fairway wood......Callaway is mighty fine club tho!!!!
I like a 3W to be versatile. Currently have a G400 Stretch set at 12 deg(really a 2wood) and use it for shorter par 4s and long par 5s off the deck. Never had any problem getting the ball up in the air, have trouble trying to keep it low.
Have a safe Christmas from sunny Australia
Cheers Bob
Shoot, most important thing to me is how well I can hit it off the deck. I currently use the 915F 15* on A1 setting. Looking to put an X-Stiff shaft. Love the sound of this club though!
I've been playing a 913F 13 degree for a few years. Probably the best club i my bag. I'd have to be pretty impressed to replace it.
My driver is longer and more accurate off the tee than my 3 wood. My 5 wood is easier to hit from the fairway than my 3 wood , So it now lives in the shed with the cross - trainer. Which I also never use.
I like the dog at 2:18.
Titleist always makes the classiest looking clubs that perform like a modern day club.
All I want of a 3 wood is to be able to hit it from the fairway. The Cobra F7 is the only one I've ever felt comfy with. have the TS2 and I don't warm to it at all.
James I love your videos and I appreciate your daily content, I think that's one of your advantages over all the other UK golf channels, Rick Shields, Mike Newton etc
What I would love to see since you produce daily content are first look at all the new stuff. If you prefilm now and release the video first on CZcams that would be massive cuz there's a lot of guys like me who love equipment and want to see the newest and latest so I don't go buy a TS3 or smth in Xmas only to realise there's new goof stuff coming out...
Ps I'm a subscriber from Hong Kong!!
Hey James, you hit that club really well, would you say its forgiving enough for a mid handicap golfer with a 100 mph swing speed or a high swing speed golfer. I need a 3 wood , but I usually hit low bullets, solid but never any height, from the video it looked like you where launching very high,Thanks merry Christmas
I use my 3 wood off the tee mostly, but currently learning to use of the deck. also like using around green for those bump and runs because I can use the shorter back stroke I still get same results if I use an 8 iron per say. Also helps that's its new and I want to hit it all the time lol.
I am really looking forward to seeing and trying these Titleist woods, as someone you uses a cut down 917D2 Driver, I may be looking for something new very soon. My swing has changed dramatically since I got fitted.
I am not the longest hitter but I want a 3w that I can hit 240 yards off the tee - more is always nice but a 3w is a fairway finder and go to driving club for 350-380 yard par 4s. I have never really got away with 3w off the deck (5w for me for that) but I do like to be able to scuttle a 3w under trees 150 yards down fairway - although that may say more about the accuracy of my driver
Great video James. I would love to test the TS range from Titleist. But I will say the dog running around behind you on the first green was funny. He seemed intrigued by the new 3 wood as well.
Looking forward to the test between M1-M2-Rogue-Titleist . Mega 3 Wood Test!!
Nice club because you are a player I get it. I need more forgiveness with Over the top moves that creep in once in a while so the M4 Fairway is my choice Thanks for the review
Great video James.. I too just need a 3 wood to be versitle also.... The Ts3 looks great
good video James ....3 wood for me has to be like a Swiss army knife ......I am thinking of putting in my bag either the TM m4 or m4 tour haven't decided just yet .....keep up the good work
Great clubs James, I’ve got the TS2 driver and TS2 3 wood played about 6 or so rounds none in good weather and they are really starting to perform better than when I used them say 3/4 rounds I wasn’t 100% convinced but now I’ve played a bit more wow wow🚀🚀🚀 definitely the pilot I know that but I can feel where the head is and on miss hits I definitely don’t loose much distance. Got to go doing it now 📹✋let’s see the dry data on the 3 wood please.
A bit of everything of a 3 wood
Ok I hv a few things to say.
1. Do you hv a hard time finding things to talk about everyday.
2. I don’t use a fairway wood anymore I use a 3 hybrid callaway XR steelhead I can hit it 220 to 230 carry, it’s my go to club if I’m not hitting the driver very well that day.
3. In 2019 are you going to leave the flag stick when putting when doing your videos, I’m thinking not just because you have this new putter that retrieves the ball from the hole. Thanks keep up the good work. Bro😃👍🏌🏼
3 wood and PW on a Par 5, what would a big hitter with a driver be left with? I currently use the M4 3 wood, I find that it goes straighter if I hit it towards the bottom of the face so off the deck or really low tee. If I hit it higher up the face it has a tendency to hook uncontrollably. My main reason for a 3 wood is distances of 250-280, I'm not good at hitting a driver with less power and my 1 iron hits too low for approaches to greens.
All I used to care about was distance. I now realize how important accuracy is. These old boys hit there 5 iron as far as my 9 iron but are absolute pin hunters
I hit driver well but struggle with the 3w. Off the tee I tend to draw it with the odd hook when my natural shot shape is a fade
Getting a g400 3 wood. For me its a fairway finder and to hit off the fairway
I just got one, will be trying it out later today!
Same. Got the stretch 3 wood. Numbers are insane and my driver will be staying in the bag this year.
@@thecman26 what loft does it go down to
@@browning0605 would recommend it over the normal version
I hit mine straighter and longer than my driver...haven’t even been bringing the driver out since I started playing it 👍🏻
Can you compare them with the 917f? Many people i can see still keeping their 917f. The fairway woods were awesome not like the deivers
I have the 917 Fairway 3 wood and love it.
I just wish I could find a Fairway Wood that I could actually hit! If I use one off a tee instead of my Driver they can go anywhere and if I try to use one from the fairway they basically go nowhere. I of course carry a Fairway Wood, but its only there for show!
James, what is the difference between the driver and the 3 wood (price , distance etc); could you just use a 3 wood and leave the ts3 driver out of bag and save your pocket money, cheers
Keep it coming - great content
Probably the least used club in my bag, but I've never been great at hitting it off the deck? Dare I ask how much this retails for?
An old wise headed pro once told me. The average golfer will hit a 3wood as far as his driver.. more loft , shorter shaft and more forgiving
Wayne Douglas the world has changed though! Drivers are soooo much more forgiving than they used to be and driving irons are encroaching on fairway wood turf as well.
Fairway woods are truly being squeezed at both ends these days!
James great video but any chance you could use shot tracer app so we can see the shot
You really think its worth trying vs my EPIC 3W? My requirements for a 3W is simply a fairway finder, so forgiveness is def key as I’m “long enough”
Great video, some nice results with that club, just curious what the sort of difference in distance is there between your driver and that 3 wood
I wish I had that new clubs
3 wood is 50% easier to hit out of the center of the clubface than driver.
Why is best hair product for playing golf?
3 Wood looked good James
White bag. White shoes. White glove. White ball. White hat. White belt. Black driver. Word.
unexpected? didnt they email you asking what shaft you wanted?
Great shots, my M2 3w hits 240yd and looks similar to this TS3?
I sense a test ... 😍😂
I’ll take your TS3 on 😀
I just picked up Titleist ts2 3 wood. But it’s 16.5 degree lift. Should I move the sure fit down .75?
I have both ts3 as well
Don't own a driver. Never have. I hit my 3 wood 250 off the tee just fine, thank you.
That is one nice looking club, I just like to be able to trust my 3 wood for when I’m struggling with the driver.
I have to admit that I have been neglecting my 3 wood recently only because since I changed my driver and shaft I have been driving the ball the best I ever have done
Can’t wait to see what you will be testing
How come the i500 are not in your bag. 👍🏼
Not using the Bridgestone balls anymore then?
My 3w is only for when driver is too much and going for par 5s.
stock shaft?......... on that 3 wood!
No 3wood for me as I play udi 2 iron. But planning giving the f9 3 wood a try in 2019.. why.. why not?
T3 looks v nice James
Is it forgiving off the floor ? 🏌🏿🏌🏿👍
When you take this out of the bag, I’ll take it
How far was it going James ?
Where is Huddersfield?
What is the putter you use?
I go driver straight to 2 hybrid
Say James did you review the Ping G400 Stretch ?
Easier to hit off the fairway
I would like to have one in general I you 2 iron atm
James!!!!! I’ve messaged you on Instagram about a video. Love the Videos as always almost better the Rick Shields.
Show me the "Numbers!"
