New GT2, GT3 and GT4 models deliver generational leap in Titleist driver design
Put simply, the GT series represents the biggest technological leap ever in Titleist driver design. Built on learnings from the Titleist Speed Project, the GT platform breaks new ground using materials never used in clubs before to create a transformative shift in performance. Cloaked in a classic, confident package, GT drivers are the next generation of Titleist driving excellence.
Seamless Thermoform Crown
Each model in the GT lineup features an ultra-lightweight crown made from a new Proprietary Matrix
Polymer. The material, never used previously in golf clubhead design, afforded Titleist engineers
unprecedented design solutions regarding internal weight positioning, unlocking gains across multiple
categories of driver performance. The crown is wrapped to the sole using an advanced thermoforming
process, resulting in a clean look with no visible seam or transition between materials.
In moving to a multi-material construction, one of the top priorities from Titleist’s R&D team was to preserve the classic sound of Titleist metals. The unique acoustic properties of the Proprietary Matrix Polymer allowed Titleist engineers to fine-tune tremendous sound and feel while still maximizing the weight-saving gains from GT’s new construction
Split Mass Construction
The weight savings that resulted from GT’s Seamless Thermoform Crown gave Titleist engineers the ability to re-position discretionary weight in optimal positions within the clubhead. Mass was strategically pushed both towards the front of the club, unlocking greater speed through CG placement, and towards the rear, offering stable, high-MOI performance. CG placements across the three models vary, giving players the opportunity to find the right combination of speed, launch angle, and spin for their games with three unique setups.
Improved Aerodynamics
Improvements to internal construction and weight distribution have allowed greater optimization of aerodynamics across the three models, a breakthrough that was previously impossible to execute due to design constraints. The GT drivers feature refined profiles that help reduce drag and increase clubhead speed.
GT2: Speed and forgiveness across the face
The GT2 driver is designed for golfers who would benefit from a fast and forgiving driver on both on- and off-center strikes. Players who struggle to find a consistent impact point on the clubface will see exceptionally fast ball speeds across the face from GT2’s upgraded Speed Ring and Variable Face Technology along with maximum stability from GT2’s higher MOI design.
GT2’s shaping has been refined for a confidence-inspiring look and upgraded for maximum aerodynamic performance. The clubhead is longer front-to-back and its clubface is marginally shallower. Compared to previous generation ‘2’ models, GT2 features a more traditional pear shape, bringing its profile closer to that of GT3. An interchangeable weight in the rear position allows for control over headweight and swingweight to produce personalized performance and feel.
Like all GT models, GT2 benefits from the all-new Seamless Thermoform crown and Split Mass Construction, which work in concert with the model’s other improvements to deliver total driver performance.
GT3: Speed-tuned distance and control
GT3 delivers extremely fast ball speed along with maximum adjustability for players seeking to optimize distance and control ball flight. With a new Adjustable CG Track, now positioned closer to the face compared to TSR3, fitters and golfers can select between five CG locations (H2, H1, N, T1, T2), lining up the CG setting to their strike location tendencies. An optimal CG location will extract more speed and greater consistency in ball flight. These benefits are magnified even more in GT3 due to the new, more forward location of the track.
Like GT2, GT3’s clubhead is 460cc, though its shape appears more compact and pear-shaped, and its clubface sits taller. Compared to TSR3, GT3’s shape is more aerodynamic, translating to faster clubhead speeds for the golfer.
At the center of all GT3’s advancements are its new Seamless Thermoform Crown and Split Mass Construction, which allow for faster ball speeds and more stability.
GT4: Exceptional low-spin performance
GT4 is designed for players looking to eliminate sub-optimal spin rates – usually over 3,000 RPMs – to create a more penetrating and efficient ball flight. GT4’s dual-spin control settings allow golfers to choose between more aggressive spin reduction or a more balanced and stable setting with more moderate spin reduction. This is accomplished by flipping a heavier (11 gram) and lighter (3 gram) weight between two positions. GT4 also has a smaller profile than the GT2 and GT3 models at 430cc.
GT4’s performance improvements begin with its Seamless Thermoform Crown and Split Mass Construction, as Titleist engineers pushed its internal mass distribution farther apart, maintaining back-weighted stability while driving CG forward for greater spin reduction.
Titleist GT 2 Driver
From The Pro:
The GT2 driver is definitely forgiving! Its spin and launch characteristics are probably better suited for someone who is less consistent off the tee. But even though the GT2 model is probably not the model designed for my game, I have to say that this club looks terrific. The major change from the TSR to the GT is the proprietary material in the crown that is extremely lightweight, so my expectation was a wild look that showed off the multi-material aspect. Instead it’s sleek and seamless and not distracting at all. I love the way this club sets up and looks at address.
From The Joe:
My biggest surprise was with the distance I was getting with this club even on off center strikes. I struggled hitting the center of the face with the GT2 but I saw essentially the same type of distance numbers as the better strikes with my current club. It has a very sleek design too. I was very impressed with how clean the topline was and the confidence that it gives you at address . It has a very different sound and I find it preferable compared to the sound from hitting the “Carbon” face of my current gamer.
Titleist GT 3 Driver
From The Pro:
The GT3 was a ton of fun to test drive because of the moveable track on the sole, which alters the CG (Center of Gravity). I despise the toed-spinny-hook shot, so my strike pattern is a bit to the heel on the driver face. When I moved the CG Track to H1, I saw the consistency improve and I maxed out my distance in this setting too. There are 5 different track settings to maximize the performance wherever YOU hit the ball consistently. I saw that my club head speed and ball speed to be up slightly over my 2 year old gamer, so I tend to believe their claim on improved aerodynamics on the GT3.
From The Joe:
Hands down the best driver I tested out of three GT Drivers. The adjustable track allowed me to get the best results. I was blown away with how tight my dispersion was (For a total of 10 shots I averaged only 4 yards offline to the right). The reason was mostly because the backspin and sidespin was much less than the GT2. The other HUGE PLUS was an increase in ball speed. With the GT3 I noticed an average of 1.7 MPH ball speed increase, with a max increase of 2.4 MPH. That equaled 7-12 yards in added distance.
Titleist GT 4 Driver
From The Pro:
The GT4 is promoted as the lowest spinning and lowest launching model in Titleist’s new lineup and it definitely delivered. When the spin rate drops into the 2500 range it gives me so much more confidence to just swing and let it go. The lower launch and spin numbers I got with the GT4 give me the consistency I crave off the tee. I was so amazed at the look of these new clubs. With a brand new material incorporated into the crown I was dreading some sort of distracting two-tone crown with lines and angles going on. But this thing is a beauty, nothing distracting at all, just terrific performance.
From The Joe:
Being a smaller driver head (430cc) compared to the other GT models, I was surprised with how confident I felt with the smaller driver head. You wouldn’t notice it unless you put them side by side, but I was impressed with how it looked at the address. As a far as performance…If I were a better ball striker this club would definitely be in my bag ASAP. As someone who spins the ball too much with the driver, this club was as advertised. There was a clear drop off on my spin numbers, but the consistency was better overall with the GT3.
