Titleist TSi2

Reviewer testing: head ranks as one of the most forgiving fairway woods that money can buy — designed to help off-centre strikes. Reviewer testing: losing only 5mph ball speed and around 10 yards carry from a heel strike. Manufacturer: more compact design has seen five grams of weight redistributed to boost MOI and create a fast, stable, and forgiving clubhead. Shorter channel wall provides more face flex and lower / more consistent spin. Above-average forgiveness — best-in-class 2020 forgiveness with measurable heel-miss ball-speed retention.

Reviewer testing: ball speed numbers were consistently between 122mph and 128mph during fitting, showing excellent dispersion across the face. Reviewer testing: both long and easy to launch, and when coupled with high levels of forgiveness, it's a top performer. ARC 4.0 provides more face flex, a higher launch, lower / more consistent spin, and increased ball speed. Above-average distance — strong, consistent fitting numbers with ARC 4.0 ball-speed retention.

Reviewer testing: head features higher launch and greater forgiveness, while the tour-spec sibling offers a penetrating flight and movable weight technology — this is the forgiveness-spec sibling. Reviewer testing: easy to launch — designed around launch ease, not shape manipulation. Standard 175cc neutral CG (no movable weight track). Below-average workability — forgiveness-tier head trades shape control for launch ease and high MOI.

Reviewer testing: head has a softer feel and acoustic than most on the market while delivering increased ball speed. Reviewer testing: the feel through impact was a standout feature. Reviewer testing: head feels fast in a golfer's hands and is complemented by meticulous sound engineering — Tour-Quality Sound. The contact sound is very satisfying and powerful without being too dull. Top-tier tour-tier feel — standout softer-than-most impact with deep, satisfying contact.

Reviewer testing: the head produces a sound that has depth beyond a crack, more attune to a healthy thwack at impact — contact sound is very satisfying and powerful without being too dull. Reviewer testing: moderate level sound matched the solid feel, though strikes that wandered towards the heel or toe sounded duller and felt muddled. Reviewer testing: meticulous sound engineering that manages vibrations within the clubhead to deliver a Tour-Quality Sound. Above-average tour-tier acoustic — deep thwack with audible miss feedback.

Reviewer testing: 175cc size head with the weight at the back of the head designed to help with launch. Standard gloss-black crown with clean alignment (carried into the successor). Reviewer testing: a clean traditional shape that inspires confidence at address. Above-average tour-spec address profile — classic 175cc shape.
