Spotted: Titleist TSR 2-wood “mini driver”
There has been a big demand recently for mini drivers — otherwise known as larger, lower-spin, fairway woods — from every manufacturer. This week at The Players, we spotted Titleist with a TSR 2-wood that definitely fits into the mini driver category.
The TSR is marked with “2W” on the hosel, but when we looked on the USGA conforming list website, it is listed as a 13-degree head. Titleist’s SureFit hosel system is in place, so you can remove 0.75 degrees or add 1.5 degrees of loft, while also being able to adjust the lie angle.
To go further with the adjustments, the TSR has two movable and interchangeable weights on the sole and back of the club, similar to the setup of the TSR4 driver. Usually, this setup is used to move a heavier weight to the back for added launch, spin, and forgiveness. Moving the heavier weight forward to the sole typically will lower the spin and launch for the players who need it.
This TSR looks to have a much deeper face and larger size than the current TSR2+ fairway that is currently available. The club has no markings, and Titleist isn’t dishing details yet, about its construction so we don’t know if it is a titanium head, steel, or a combination of a titanium face and steel body.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

I’ve gamed three of the four TM iterations of their mini-driver. The current one is the best yet. On the launch monitor, it gets 10-15 yards less (carry and roll) than my TS3 driver. But on the course it is a fairway finder. Depending on the course and the tees, I can play an entire round with my driver never leaving the bag.

great looking club. I am hoping it is smaller than the Taylormade mini driver stuff. More larger fairway than smaller driver.. IF that makes sense.

This will be a pure mini driver… already have the TSR2+ to fill that spot.
