GT2 had another good weekend. I didn't have anything close to my best swing either day but I was 15/24 FWs hit with it and averaged (ball park) 250-55 including a couple of shots low on the heel that only got out to about 230ish.
Titleist GT Drivers – GT2, GT3 and GT4
Looks to me like you’re teeing the ball way too high and have sky marks from a downward impact path, getting under the ball.
Sounds about right i been working on getting my hands down to my waist trying to limit my over the top and pull.
Solid driving day for me Friday with the GT3. 276 P-Avg on a kinda wet day on the fairways is pretty big for me, and I did it all hitting 5/9 fairways. >50% fairways is a huge success in my world (I've averaged around 35% with my last several drivers).
Now that I've gotten back to confident swings, this driver continues to impress with its ability to cut down the big misses. I didn't miss the fairway by any more than about 10 yards with driver all day, and FOR SURE not every swing was that good. It's just a good fit for me, and forgiveness across the face and up and down is very good considering the type of head. And I'll honestly take a little speed hit when I'm way off center for improved precision.

GT3 was solid in a scramble yesterday. Didn't have my best driver swing, but the spin characteristics again kept a couple dicey blocks and "power fades" in play, and the ones I centered were all 270+ right on the target line or just right of it (little cuts are money). I even managed to pull off a high draw over some trees, a shot that is NOT in my comfort zone.
I continue to marvel at how many times this driver returns solid, solid results on 5/10 contact. You know from the feedback in the head that you missed it, but you look up and it works out fine 9 times out of 10.

Messing with the 4 a bit, and really loving it.
Started with the TS4, then progressed through all the iterations in the 4.
I love the smaller head. Currently rocking the custom smoke yellow I have in it. I did just grab a new generation black to try as well.

I'll dare say that I hit the GT3 better than the AI Smoke, maybe not further, maybe not straighter, but I believe I am, and am really enjoying it more than the Callaway products.
I can tell by looking at the club face that I'm certainly finding the center more than anything else I've tried, and same goes for fairways or near misses. A few mega slices here and there, I'll just blame that on the grip instead of me. Next week I'll blame it on the ferrule if I have any wild misses.

Had a big day with the 2 today, and this driver continues to impress. Was my first trial run playing the Left Dash, and the guys at the shop said I might see a big extra distance off the tee, and I was able to find some at some critical moments I needed it today, including reaching a par 5 in 2 that I haven’t seen all season. I didn’t really see the forgiveness aspect a whole lot today, as I was finding the center of the face pretty consistently, but I’m happy that we chose this model from what I’ve seen somedays this year as I don’t always swing it well. The Left Dash feels considerably firmer off the face, but it’s not unpleasant - it’ll take some time getting used to but it could be a really good swap based off what I experienced off the tee today.
Left dash/GT3 has been a great combo for me.
This is the best 4 head that they've made for shape and performance. The shape reminds me so much of my 915D3 and lets me feel really confident when standing over a ball.

I think this is gonna work out really well, once I get used to the difference in feel. It hits a similar window that I saw with the V1X, which has helped a lot for me with overall distance this year. Driver is set up to go high and take the right side mostly out of play, and that box has been checked pretty well.
V1x spun too much for me off driver. I like it but it balloons. V1 has the right spin but launches a little low. Left dash was the perfect in between Goldilocks solution for me.
I agree. Every generation has seen solid improvements. I didn't think it could beat the TSR, but it did.

I’ll be curious to see if I get any of that ballooning with the Left Dash - I imagine you are pretty concerned with that with living in a bit of a windy spot as well. It was relatively calm today but we’ve had some howlers this season.
The left dash seems to do pretty well in the wind. I will play the V1 sometimes on really windy days just for the lower flight but I really don’t get much ballooning with the left dash the way I used to with the V1X.
I did my driver fitting outdoors on grass with a trackman. Once we were down to the final two shafts we switched from range balls to the various proV balls and got some good numbers. I secretly wanted to V1X to be the winner. I always liked the way it felt off of my irons. But the numbers confirmed what I suspected about it not being the best fit for me.
I’m curious to see how it does for you.
Been grinding away trying to get rid of my flaws. went back to the stock shaft and am seeing very good results. Hitting over 40% of fairways in the last month and gained over 10 yards. quickly becoming the strength of my game.

Another really solid driving day with the GT2, and a couple of compliments from my playing partners about the sound. I’ve had enough time with this driver to have a pretty good idea of the result from where I’ve struck it on the face, but also from how it sounds. A miss lower on the face, and heel/toe have pretty distinctly different sounds than out of the center, but nowhere on the face sounds unpleasant to me, or them apparently. The wind was blowing pretty good today, and I like the flight I’m seeing when going into a headwind - it’s not ballooning and losing a ton of distance, it’s holding a strong trajectory. I’ve had some decent scoring rounds this season despite playing in some tough conditions, and a lot of that has to do with the top end of the bag and the confidence I have in it.
Went with my kid to Carls for a driver fitting. Came down to the Elyte and GT2. They were neck and neck when hit well. The GT2 was more consistent on mishits. He ended up in a 9⁰ GT.2 with a Hzdrus Black 70G XStiff (6.5). Kid loved it so much he decided to hit the fairways
Same shaft, got the 4 wood and 7 wood.
We never played the same driver before.
GT2 line fits you at 25 and 66....

Nice. I have the same hzrds black 70 6.5 in the 13.5 GT2 3 wood and like the shaft a lot. I think I like it better than the tensei black in my GT2 driver. Now might try the Denali black in a gt2 5 wood.

Had a really good couple of days with the GT2 in Nebraska. For the most part, the course was very playable off the tee, despite not being able to see your landing areas all the time. If you were wayward, you could find yourself in some tough spots, and the 2 kept me in play and set me up for some pretty decent scoring opportunities. It feels good to have some confidence in the driver, and put a hurting on the golf ball every once in a while. Over the off-season I’d like to play around with some set-up stuff and see if I can start hitting up on the ball more consistently, but the peak heights and flights I saw at the experience were more than adequate, and very playable.
Wow. Impressed. I couldn't figure out how to time that shaft, I had to slow down so much that accelerating through the ball was difficult. And I play Regulars. I cant imagine how anyone with any speed could time it.
I wanted to tool around with driver shafts after my iron fitting... We confirmed my 24 BB 53S is the right shaft vs the WB 53S... Then he asked if I'd ever tried the autoflex...we threw it in and he said "just swing"...and from the first swing, it was so good. We both couldn't really believe it but I was getting 5mph more ball speed with the AF...
