  1. Made the move to a TSR2 Driver with a Tensei Blue Stiff stock shaft and TSR3 15/18 fairways with BLK Hzrdus 6.0.

    I was surprised to see that I hit the Hzrdus better in the fairways than the Tensei since thats what I hit in the driver better. Just curious if anyone has insight into why or if this is common since I have always matched my shafts in my TM gear.

    Actually pretty common to end up fitted with different shafts in the driver, fairways, and hybrids.
  3. I also had a Titleist fitting yesterday
    TSR 2 Driver Blue Tensei Stiff Shaft, 11 Degree
    TSR 2 4 Wood Blue Tensei Stiff Shaft, 16.5 Degree.

    Absolutely love how the clubs look and feel just can't wait for them to come now .

    I have not had the same shaft in Driver/3 Wood/Hybrid in many years. Swings are different (especially driver vs others) and I find I am more deliberate with Hybrid over others so I expect part of it is how I load the shaft in the transition. There are so many variables (especially in my swing! ;-) ) - I just trust my fitter who has known me and my swing for years.

    I am a firm believer in the fitting process, and I always get fit for these clubs separately, so I spend time with finding the optimum shaft once we have determined the version of the club.

    Interesting…I was fit into the tensei blue Xlink 65 for my TSr2 three wood, hated the tensei. I just ordered the Hzrdus smoke 70 gram shaft for it, loved those shafts when I had it in my TS and TSi3 fairway woods. I just like the feel and weighting better in the smoke.

    I have the fujikura speeder evolution VI in my tsr3 driver, great shaft.

    Glad I’m not the only one that didn’t care for the Tensei. Good luck!!

    Just got home from my fitting. TSR3 head with Hzrdus Black shaft. TSR2 3 wood with same shaft. Weirdly though, I kill the 5 wood with the tensei blue shaft but not the 3 wood. 3 wood went everywhere. Thanks to Tim Ford with Titleist for a great experience.
  7. I’m the opposite. I got fit for the tsi 16.5 summer last year and went Tensei. This last week I was fit for a TSR2 driver and was fit into the HZRDUS CB, which id never have put myself in. However it’s worked a treat and even when I’ve driven poorly like tonight, I’ve consistently put the driver in a good position.
