Tsr2 and GT2. So you seem to gloss over the reduced hook bias in the GT2. Not for everyone for sure, but if you were turned off by the tsr2 hook face, the GT2 is a good upgrade.
Going into my 4th season with tsi2 and its treated me so well, especially this season. Definitely be looking into tsr2 maybe next season.
500 yards offline? Time for a new robot.
Tsr3 has a right miss bias and tsr2 has a left miss bias
I think aerodynamics is a huge improvement. It's noticeable to me.
I presume the driver heads were all set on the standard lie settings?
After four years with my TSi2, I upgraded to the AI Smoke TD because it was the only model that significantly increased my ball speed and overall performance compared to the TSR and GT series. Even with the same shaft and better swing
What units are the yards offline in? It's in hundreds at the bottom.
Just scored a brand new TSR2 for $399. Love this driver!
Where is the GT1 data???
Your graphs are trash
Please can you test this for me?
Dr. Luke Benoit argues that you should try to hit it straight instead of trying to favour a fade or draw because on tour the shot distribution is a bell curve and not a bimodal bell curve.
Other guys like Scott Fawcet argue that the worst thing you could possibly have for your game is a two way miss.
Here’s what I want to know.
If you get let’s say, a variability of let’s say 5 degrees plus or minus club path, vs a -10 vs 0 degrees vs club path vs a 0 to 10 compared to club path, which gives you the smallest shot distribution?
I think the robot is a perfect tool to put this question to rest. Please do this test!!
How about a comparison among all the major brand drivers on this series ？ you have all the data with the same brand, and it would be very interesting to see all the differences
Still rockin' TSi3
The robot is great but how do you account for differences in the golf balls used? Golf balls have all kinds of levels of QC and a lot of this data could be explained to how one golf ball flew compared to the next, not necessarily the driver head. Is there some sort of control around the ball itself?
Can you guys please break down Srixon? That would be lovely!
Test at 115 mph!!!!
How can you get this much variance with a robot? Either get a new robot or use the same ball over and over again- there's some variable cocking up your data.
I wish they would do this at 110mph which is probably more appropriate for an avid athletic golfer than just the average weekend blader.
Why only test with low speed?
Show me 115mph
I picked up a pre-owned TSi2 9 degree head in spring last year and have been pounding it and find it very forgiving.
Now you got me wondering how much easier the TSR2 is… 😂
But for $200 CAD I'm very happy with the purchase.
This is really great testing. While 95mph /230 driver carry may be the average amateur, I would bet your average readers and viewers are more like 105-110 mph / 280+ carry.
Tsr3 should upgrade to gt3?
