Why choose Titleist? PGA Professional Tom Maggs has recently invested in a Titleist TS3 driver and here is why.
With a large selection of top performing drivers on the market, don’t be fooled with some over the top branding and fancy looks; go with performance, feel and reputation.
Titleist are renowned for their classic looking drivers and consistent performance throughout the driver market. Therefore, rather than making a driver which can be adjusted in 30 + different ways, Titleist say they started again from the ground up to focus on speed, launch and spin with both TS3 & TS2 driver.
Why have I chosen the TS3 driver? New streamlined shape If you like the look of a classic Titleist driver then you will love looking down at the new TS3 driver. The classic clubhead at address sits flush on the ground due to its aerodynamic shape. As a result this reduces drag by up to 20 percent, allowing us golfers to swing faster, increasing club head speed for more distance. |
Thinner, faster face This is the fastest clubface Titleist has ever made and the head weight has been reduced by up to six grams, this delivers faster ball speeds and increases forgiveness. The TS face is so thin that the score lines must be lasered on (instead of etched into the face like previous generations). |
|
Adjustability Titleist has made the TS3 driver adjustable in two ways. First is the SureFit hosel, which they’ve been using for many generations. The other is the SureFit CG Weight. Titleist first introduced this in the 818 hybrids, but they’ve made a slick upgrade with the TS woods. Rather than asking golfers to have two weights - one Neutral and one Draw/Fade biased - they’ve created one weight which can be neutral or biased. The weight is slid into a port in the head as seen in the picture above. If you would like to try the new range of Titleist TS2 & TS3 drivers then speak to a member of the Professional team or click here to book a custom fitting session. Alternatively, you can sign up to our Titleist Thursday events which regularly take part at Long Ashton.

Titleist Thursdays
Whilst we have a full Titleist fitting cart here at Long Ashton, another option available to you of you are looking to try Titleist golf equipment is the Titleist Thursday event that we hold every few weeks. |
The events are manned by two of Titleist’s own fitting staff and they will have every specification of club available to try on the day. You can turn up without booking to try something on spec, but the events are geared towards those who have booked so if you are keen to get fitted for your next set of clubs and want to assure your slot, booking is highly recommended.
These days are particularly useful for left handers as you will never have access to more trial clubs than on one of these events. Click here if you are interested in booking a session. |

Woods you believe it? It would take a heart of stone not to have been moved by Tiger’s Masters victory on Sunday night. Sure, the American divides opinion when it comes to his off-course antics, but that should take nothing away from the magnitude of his victory at the most famous of tournaments. |

Two-years ago, Woods required a nerve-blocker just to attend the Champions' Dinner and all but admitted his game was done. A spinal fusion surgery later and Tiger has completed arguably the greatest comeback of all time. Tiger's triumph was matched by Molinari's misfortune, with the Italian squandering a two-shot lead on the back nine as he found the water twice in the space of four holes. With the next two majors taking place at courses where the great man has won before - Bethpage Black and Pebble Beach - could we be in-store for something special in 2019? |

Our latest collection of clothing has been sitting in-store for a few weeks now and, in our opinion, there's never been a better selection. From loud to safe colours, regular to athletic fit, and bold to classic designs, we really do have something for everyone this spring. |
 | | Glenmuir Haddington polo |
 | Available with our club's crest
|
|
Some of our favourite pieces have to be these club-crested beauties from Glenmuir, who pride themselves on their craftsmanship having supplied the European Ryder Cup team on numerous occassions in the past. This stylish Haddington polo is one the best picks, with three great-looking colour options allowing you to stand out on the course for all the right reasons. Its subtle hexagonal print on the chest adds a little bit of flare to a classic two-colour design, and we think you'll love its four-way stretch fabric that offers such enjoyable comfort. We have a host of club-crested product available in-store, which make for the perfect present for a loved one (or yourself) so be sure to pop in next time you're down the club. |
