The Driver
During its annual PGA Tour stop at The Memorial, Titleist unveiled its latest lineup of drivers, generating high anticipation due to the success of its previous releases, including the TS, TSi, and TSR drivers. Those drivers were all developed as part of the Titleist Speed Project, which has been a massive success, resulting in them […]

I’m really interested in these and how they perform. Can’t wait to follow the upcoming event and get to hear everyone’s thoughts on these. @Canadan I think you can talk about these now.
 
Now THAT is a thorough breakdown.

Love love love seeing Titleist move from the all titanium designs, it’s time for that, but love more seeing them do it on their terms and with a new material implementation.

Historically, I’m a 4 guy, but this time I think it’s 3 all the way for me.

Will be curious to hear if those who typically were a 3 turned into a 2 and vise versa as well.
 
Titleist finally figuring out that a raised CoG isn't the best for performance. Titleist fan boys will like this driver but Titleist is always playing catch-up. 2 years in the making and these are just (barely) catching up to where callaway was a year ago.
 
Looks like I need to get fit.

These look and sound great
 
Can’t wait to get these in hand. Fitting upcoming.
 
The new material is fascinating. Is it used in any other applications? Crazy cool to have a polymer crown.
 
Yes!!!!

I've been lucky enough to spend some time with this line and it's been great.

I played and loved TSi3 and TSr3, so the GT3 was high on my list of wants this year. But it's not quite the same as going from i3 to r3. Weight track up front changes some things and makes it a little easier to affect change with the weight. Which is awesome. Face depth is very close between them but that weight placement stands out.

The PMP and thermoform are pretty cool. I love that it does still sound a little metallic, and I actually notice it more on the 2. In fact having spent time with them I think I actually like the sound of the 2 better. And the GT2 is pretty straight and easy and just.. lovely. In form and function A fantastic experience. Everyone seemed to love the TSr3 but with the changes this year I think we'll see a some of those people in the GT2.

Here's a quick little sound at the range with the 2.

Speeds have been good in my time with them. Very efficient.


They are GLOSSY. I've been playing a glossy crown driver most of the year but there's glossy and then there's glossy. You forget how glossy Titleist is until you first get your hands, your very oily grubby hands, on one of these . 😆




Had the GT3 on course yesterday and a few things stuck out at me. It's WAY more upright than my Qi10 LS. I knew that, but on course it stood out more. There was a trend this year in a couple brands to go flatter and that is definitely not the case with the 58.5* on this.



Had a fun day with it and hit some beauties despite not feeling great.

Moving away from titanium ... surprised by that. I'm sure they thought it was time. I'm glad they found a new material to replace it with. dBut since Josh says it has to be better than the previous model, I put trust in that everyone will like moving to the GT lineup. I'll be interested to see what ball speeds are like with this model compared to the TSR.

Did I miss what "GT" stands for?
 
Looking forward to learning more about the proprietary new crown polymer and how it flexes/absorbs shock versus the known (s) of “traditional” carbon fiber.

For example why not just use CF, everyone else been for a long time without issue, that’s not a knock, rather a question, what has Titleist found/learned/considered in the new wrap of the material in the new design.
 
got to spend some time with these yesterday and walked away very impressed with the whole lineup. I felt like the previous model TSR2 was a bit of a unicorn with the forgiveness yet fairly low spinning for the "forgiving" model. TSR3 actually floated and spun more on my misses than TSR2 did

This year with the GT I'm seeing the same thing between the 2 and 3 models. GT2 was the most accurate and it wasn't even close. TSR3 had a bit more pop to it but not enough that I'd consider it over the GT2..... the star of the lineup, or at least the most fun to hit, was the GT4 with the heavy weight in back. Misses were more penalizing than GT2 of course but not by a huge amount. It was giving me on avg just over 2mph faster ball speeds

I have a taylormade qi10 LS and will be trading it in with the 90 day playability from PGA Superstore and getting a GT2 8*

That is good stuff!
 
I’m so intrigued by what we have here. I’ll be giving the GT2 a go. I got a little shy with the weight track being forward in the GT3(SLDR left some scar tissue there, even though these are very different).

My last extensive go with a Titleist driver was the 917D2…and boy have they gone on a crazy journey since those.

Oh and the move away from Titanium crowns…they were like the last real stalwart that couldn’t make the move. Callaway, TM, Srixon, Mizuno, Cobra, PXG, heck even Nike, had made a move at some point. Some returned to titanium(Srixon) and some just stopped making clubs all together. Very cool to see Titleist make the jump.

I didn’t see it in the article but it stands for Generational Technology though I’m still personally choosing to believe it stands for Golden Ticket.

With material changes will we see changes in durability/build quality kinda stuff like another big brand has had?

I thought GT3 would be slightly smaller at 450cc but they stayed at 460. Not sure what I figured it would happen. Glad it didn't.

I'm thinking GT3 with 1k Black. (the blue I get the left misses) Price is what I expected per market reset. Don't like it but it is what it is.

The GT4 looks fun and scary all at the same time.
 
Wow, very interesting crown design. Can't wait to try it out.
 
Great article. Cool tech story. This looks like it could be a real winner.
 
Great article @ddec ! Doesn’t really do much to quell my excitement to get fit for these, which sounds like mission successful to me!

I’m trying to go into my fitting as unbiased as possible but I’m really thinking the GT3 sounds like the right tool for the job.
 
Interesting to see the 1k blue as the stock option. Quality shaft helps to swallow the cost. TSR was a monster, so I'm keen to see how this performs and sounds with the material changes.

I'd wager it's not an issue, and I'm one of the few who actually had a little issue with that in the TSrs. I buckled a couple crowns. That titanium was thin and where it met the face it was weak if you had speed and your strike was high. This might actually be better. Time will tell though.

I mentioned speeds have been good. Efficient! This was kind of the range of spins with the GT3 on course yesterday. I swear that high one was a misread though because it was a rip draw into a solid wind that went 308 on fairways as long as my backyard.

Overall it's been pretty low with the track up front. I play a 10* , VF 6-X, and have been loving it.

I've hit a couple low face strikes that did surprisingly well. I know that was a complaint of some last time. Spin didn't climb too high though and results were good. So that was really promising.
