Today from the Forums, we take a look at a discussion on Titleist’s TS driver series. WRXer ‘FormerDimer’ asks if the drivers can compete in 2020 against more recent additions and our members have been sharing their insights with the vast majority holding the drivers in very high regard.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

rxk9fan: “I have been TaylorMade for years, with the M2, M5, and then M6. I really never loved the last two though I know they are quality drivers. I also owned the Cobra F9 which I hit poorly, and the Mizuno ST190, which I liked a lot but the HO in me ruled after a bad week or two middle of last year. I went to the TS3 with just the stock Even Flow T1100 after the M6, and it has become my favorite driver of all time. Until now, the TM M2 was the all-time winner. I had tried 4 shafts in the M5 and M6, and I just could not keep either consistently in the FW (and not blaming them for my swings). For me the TS3 sounds better, feels better, and the results have been as good as I have ever had with a driver (and while not a big hitter, driver has historically been the one club that could get my swing back on track in a slump). If I am answering your question, the TS3 is not only still relative, I feel for me it is the best available.”
DFS PFD: “TS3 is as good as anything out there if you get it fit properly.”
DFinch: “The TS line definitely keeps up with the shiny newer stuff. Like rxk9fan, the TS3 with EvenFlow White remains in the bag.”
j3rw1ch0holic: “TS3 stays in the bag for quite a while; definitely the best fit for myself and I love the Sure Fit hosel more than any other adjustable hosel out there. I’ll admit to being somewhat skeptical about the “hype” at first, and I’m not sure if I gained a lot in distance from the 917D3 personally, but overall I’ve hit better drives with this thing, and it’s not leaving.”
naws-golfer: “The TS series was a close second for me in the last driver fitting. I went with the epic flash SZ, but the ts2 was up there in ball speed and forgiveness. I didn’t try the TS3, looking back, I wish I would have. The TS2 sound and feel was better than the epic flash, but I loved the look of the Callaway. I would have liked to put my shaft from the epic into a TS3 and see how that went, but the fitter didn’t have that one with the Titleist tip. I also tried the M5/6 and the ping g400, but the Callaway and Titleist were the clear tops. ball speed on the TS series is as good as any driver out there currently.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
