Should I Buy a Used (but Virtually New) Titleist TSR2 Fairway Wood?

[Darkfrog]

I recently got a new TSR2 driver, and it is the best driver I have ever played. Great look, sound, and has been very forgiving on my mishits high on the face. If the fairway woods are anything like the driver, I'd probably get it if it were me.

That said, I recently got fitted for a FW wood, and a Callaway Paradym high loft 3W (long way to say 4W) was the best of what I tested.

Well, two reasons that shy me away from purchasing it.  First, I'd think getting fitted would result in my finding out what is optimal for me even though I hit it well (although I'd expect to hit it better than my current 3W that is over ten years old)

That reason makes sense not to pull the trigger, but the reasoning of "it's 18 degrees and that's not the 'normal' loft of a 3 wood" is not a good reason not to pull the trigger IMO

and two, I'm planning on upgrading my current 915D2 within the next year or two so one would imagine I'd see improvement over my current driver once I upgrade so using my current driver probably isn't a good factor to include when determining what 3W to purchase.

In that case why not just save your money now and get fitted for a driver and 3 wood at the same time like next year and buy them both then?

Yeah, it's kind of a short hand combination of both in my mind, haha.

Because I figure when Titleist comes out with the new drivers towards the end of next year, the TSR Drivers will have come down in price and I honestly would just like to upgrade at least one now rather than just have the money sit in an account for another 15 months or so.
