The TS4 will debut this week at the Valero Texas Open, and is engineered to be a high-speed ultra low-spin design that challenges the notion that a driver designed for extreme spin reduction can't produce this level of ball speed.
Titleist Golf Vice President of Marketing, Josh Talge said,
"TS drivers have exceeded all our expectations both on tour and with golfers around the world. When it comes to driver performance, TS has shown that it's no longer a one- or two-horse race. While we know most golfers find their best fit in a TS2 or TS3 driver, there is a percentage of players out there with distinct performance needs, such as aggressive spin reduction. TS4 is the ultra low-spin driver that still produces exceptional ball speed. If you want to hit it longer but are having trouble controlling spin off the tee, TS4 was made for you."
TS4 TECHNOLOGY & PERFORMANCE
The innovations used to drive ball speed in TS2 and TS3 drivers have been optimized for TS4's 430cc Speed Chassis, designed to aggressively reduce spin and maximize distance for high-spin players.
• Ultra-Thin Titanium Crown
The thinnest cast titanium crown (20-percent thinner than 917 drivers) in the game allows weight to be redistributed low and forward for reduced spin.
• Thinner Faster Face
The fastest face Titleist has ever made, a refined Radial VFT (variable face thickness) that reduces weight and delivers faster ball speeds and increased forgiveness. Every TS driver face undergoes a 100-percent CT inspection to ensure speed performance is at the maximum allowable limit. 
• Streamlined Shape
The aerodynamic design of TS4 features a 430cc classic, pear shape which reduces drag and allows golfers to swing faster for increased club head speed and more distance. 
• Low Forward CG
The low and forward CG position (5mm forward vs. TS2) is highlighted by the placement of the SureFit Flatweight which produces ultra-low spin for a piercing ball flight that is straighter and more consistent. 
Titleist's patented SureFit Hosel, featuring 16 independent loft and lie settings, allowing for additional ball flight optimization through precision fitting.
Talge also said,
"When it comes to ultra low-spin drivers, there's always going to be some trade-off in terms of MOI. But for those golfers who create too much spin because of the way they deliver the club head, we know through our player testing that TS4 can give them greater distance consistency versus what they would see in a higher-MOI product."
PREMIUM STOCK SHAFTS
Call this one not messing with a good thing. I'm happy to report the TS4 will also come with a choice of the same four aftermarket shaft models as the TS2 and TS3. Those are the Even Flow T1100 White 65 (low launch and spin), HZRDUS Smoke Black 60 (low/mid launch and spin), TENSEI AV Series Blue 55 (mid launch and spin - the shaft I play in my TS3) and KURO KAGE Black Dual Core 50 (high launch and moderate spin). If for some reason none of these shafts peaks your interest, Titleist offers an industry-leading number of custom shaft choices.
FREE TRIAL, FITTINGS, AND AVAILABILITY
Titleist TS4 drivers will be available in golf shops and fitting locations beginning in late June. They're available in 8.5 and 9.5 degree lofts in RH and LH, and a 10.5 degree loft in RH. Price will be $499.
You can attend a Titleist Fitting Day or Trial event (including Titleist Thursdays) at hundreds of locations nationwide.
