SPOTTED: Titleist TS2 and TS3 fairway woods

Published

on

Two weeks ago at the 2018 U.S. Open, Titleist started its “tour validation” process with the new TS2 and TS3 drivers — here’s a list of players who made the switch that week. Today, at the 2018 Quicken Loans National, Titleist is starting the same process with new TS2 and TS3 fairway woods.

According to Titleist, the validation process will take weeks or months, but that it will keep us updated on its social channels.

“This process will continue over the coming weeks and months across the worldwide professional tours. We will provide additional updates throughout the process at titleist.com and on Titleist’s social channels using the hashtag #TSproject.” You can check out updates here, as well.

    What’s the CC on the 5-woods? If it’s still 175cc that’s awfully huge for a 5W…

    I’m not a fan of the TS3 design, and it’s a shame because i do enjoy the SureFit CG

    Those shiny black heads makes me feel like a big stud pounding that pretty lil’ white ball.

    I was really hoping they would drop that recoil channel. It just feels horrible to me.

    They look great. It’s nice Titleist hasn’t changed the adapter like so many other companies have done at some point (well at least since the 910 anyway).

      I’ll wait for TS4 and TS5… after they work out the kinks from these old models and issue new and improved tour-tested models.

    Those sole fangs will grab and devour the innocent helpless ball and fling it far far down the fairway…. believe it, gearheadbaters…. 😮

Q&A: Martin Trainer on his Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers” putter, 6.5-degree driver, and “butter knife” 2-iron

Published

on

As unbiasedly as I can put it, Martin Trainer has one of the coolest club setups in professional golf. (At some point soon, I’ll put together a top-10 list of “coolest club setups on Tour,” but I know that Trainer will be in the top-10)

What a lineup. He plays a 6.5-degree Wilson prototype driver, a 13-degree Wilson prototype 3-wood, a true blade Wilson Staff Model 2-iron, and a Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers Commemorative” putter!

A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

I mean, look at this 2-iron from address…

To quote the great author R.L. Stine: “Goosebumps.”

On Wednesday at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, I caught up with Trainer to learn more about his bag setup.

Here’s what he had to say:

You have the Internet going crazy over your bag setup, and your putter. Where’d you pick the Bobby Grace-Greg Chalmers putter up? How long have you had it?

MT: This was from when Bobby Grace came to my course in California: Cal Club. And for whatever reason, they just started having them in the shop. So then I took my buddy’s, started using it, and made, like, a million putts in a row, which is how every putter story begins, I guess.

And then, I bought a couple of my own, used it for years, got to the Tour with it, won on Tour with it (the 2019 Puerto Rico Open). Then, about a year later, started using another putter, did that for a couple years, but now it’s back in the bag.

When did it come back in the bag?

MT: December of this past year. So a few months ago.

What year would you say was the first time you threw that in the bag, or, like, when you bought it?

MT: God…Probably, 2016, maybe? 2018?

Do you remember how much you paid for it?

MT: I don’t know, actually. Maybe $100-150 bucks or something. I think that’s the only golf club I’ve bought between high school and now. Well, two, since I bought two of them.

The driver is interesting, too. What went into the prototyping process?

MT: That was a version of the current driver, but it was the prototype that they first came out with for Tour guys to try. And for whatever reason, I just never switched out to the new one.

It’s just 6.5 degrees, right?

MT: Yeah. Very low loft, yeah.

What kind of ball speed do you have with that these days?

MT: Like high 170’s.

Yeah, that’ll work. And then a 2-iron blade? We’re seeing fewer and fewer of those out here.

MT: Yeah. The butter knife.

Very cool thing to have in the bag. Have you done any testing with driving irons? 

MT: Yeah, I used to have a thicker one, but it was a little offset, and I never hit it that well. And then finally, I started messing around with the butter knife. And I remember the first time I looked down at it, I was terrified. And then I ended up getting used to it, putting it in play, and it’s been in place since. It’s a pretty good club for me.

How far do you carry that? 

MT: Like 235.

A good little wind club, I’m sure.

MTL Yeah, exactly. I can hit it very low. It’s great.

I love it. You have people shook looking at that. Thanks for the time, man. 

MT: Absolutely.
