The Titleist TS2 came out in 2018 [1]. Its headline idea was Speed Chassis: a thinner crown and face that made the TS Titleist's fastest driver at the time. That was 8 years ago, so the questions now are different: is it still worth buying used, and how far behind is it compared with the Titleist GTS2?
The TS2 in 2018: what it was
The TS2 was built around Speed Chassis: a thinner crown and face that made the TS Titleist's fastest driver at the time. It sat on the forgiving side of the lineup, for players who wanted help on off-centre strikes. The 460cc head is the same size limit drivers are built to today.

Is the TS2 worth buying in 2026? A strong used buy
It is recent enough that the face and shaping are close to current models, and it is fully adjustable. For most club golfers, a well-kept TS2 at a used price is better value than paying full price for the Titleist GTS2.
Who should still buy one?
- Buy it if you want a forgiving club on a small budget and can try it before you pay.
- Skip it if you can stretch to a recent used model (the last three or four years) — the forgiveness gap is bigger than the price gap.
Buying a used TS2: checklist
- Sleeve and wrench: make sure the adapter comes with it and that it fits the Titleist system you have. Ask the seller which setting it is in.
- Face: look for cracks, dents or a caved-in look at the centre. A cracked face can't be repaired.
- Crown: sky marks and paint chips are cosmetic; dents are not.
- Shaft and grip: check the flex label. A worn grip costs little to replace; a shaft that is too stiff costs you carry.
- Price check: we could not verify current used prices, so compare recent sold listings before you buy (eBay sold listings).
