We’re back with the age-old question: What would you rather have, distance or accuracy? For Russell Henley, it’s not entirely clear that it’s a “would he rather” situation. It might just be what he has.
Henley’s club speed of 110.89 mph ranks 156th on the PGA Tour and his driving distance is 147th at 293.1 yards. But he has something else about him off the tee that some golfers will be happy to receive.
Most accurate driver on the PGA Tour
Henley bounces back and forth from first and second for field goal percentage each week. He finds the grass short 70.24 percent of the time, ranking him first on Tour while the field average is close to 62.
Interestingly, the accuracy story doesn’t stop at the tee box. Once Henley is in the fairway, he is also the most accurate approach player on Tour from that position, ranking first in approach to the hole from the fairway with an average of 17′ 9″. This seems like a direct reward for consistently playing from the right side of the touchline.
His range on approach shots from the rough drops to 58′ 0″, ranking 148th. This is one of the steepest descents in the terrain. His game is not built to recover. It’s built not to have to.
A scorecard built around a skill
The chain reaction that Henley’s accuracy creates during his round is hard to overstate. Here’s how it looks in numbers.
| Statistics | Value | Tournament ranking |
|---|---|---|
| Fairways Hit | 70.24% | 1 |
| Proximity to the hole (fairway) | 17′ 9″ | 1 |
| Bogey Avoidance | 10.80% | 2 |
| Putts Per Round | 27.72 | 10 |
| A shot percentage | 44.60% | 18 |
| Average score | 69.39 | 14 |
Hit the fairway, get close to the pin, make the tee shot, avoid the bogey. Henley has industrialized that loop. He currently sits eighth in the world rankings and 18th in the FedEx Cup rankings with three top-10s in 2026.
Club: Titleist TSi3
of TSi3 it’s been in Henley’s bag on and off since 2022. He plays it at 10 degrees with a Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black 70 6.5 TX shaft.
When Titleist started TSi3 in October 2020, the main technology was face material. They became the first golf brand to use aerospace titanium ATI 425 in a driver, a material developed for ballistic armor. The result was a faster, more resilient face that maintained ball speed even on off-center shots. The club also introduced a 15 percent aerodynamic improvement over the previous TS3 and a five-position SureFit CG track for precise shot shape control.
In MyGolfSpy’s 2022 Most Demanding Driver Test (35 golfers, 38 drivers, 18,000+ shots on Foresight GCQuad monitors), the TSi3 finished:
- Second overall for Strokes Gained
- Third for distance with high swing speed
- Among the top rated clubs for feel and head shape
It’s a player’s driver with a compact shape, lower launch and lower spin built for consistent ball hitters who want to control their loss.
Could a used TSi3 be for you?
Used TSi3 heads regularly appear in the $160-$250 range depending on condition and shaft. If you’re a single-digit handicapper who values ​​distance accuracy and wants a compact, workable driver with a classic title look and sound, the value proposition here is hard to argue with. The most accurate tee-to-green player on the PGA Tour still trusts this club over everything newer in the Titleist lineup. That’s probably worth something.
