Off Course is back this week with a fantastic show and this is episode 297. Hosted by Dan Edwards, each Friday we give you a deep look into the world of golf and equipment in a way unlike any other podcast has done before. Today, Josh Talge from Titleist joins the show to discuss GTS drivers and their 8 year story.
It wouldn’t be Off Course without some tangents, but Dan and Josh dive into many topics including the early Tour adoption and early thoughts from fitting. This show has a lot going on and is one you will not want to miss as Titleist GTS goes Off Course.

Episode 297 is here and Dan and Josh Talge discuss the following topics and a whole lot more.
Taking a Quick Look at Vokey SM11 Launch
The Massive Importance of Wedge Fitting

Figured Josh would be a part of this one – excited to give this one a listen!
JT is the best. Diving in now.
I need to queue this one up.
Their care in controlling the story during release really does make a difference.
That’s how you beat the conforming list grossness.
“This thing will absolutely dust” GT and TSi. Interesting.
The barbell analogy was very interesting!
GTS4 the same shape as TSi3. Very interesting.

This was eye opening to me too. Strong statement that most companies wouldnt say out loud
Will give this a listen later. Always interesting to hear what JT has to say.
Cool video, have a Titleist driver fitting scheduled next Wednesday.
I’m in the car for a while today so i will listen to this. I have my GTS fitting Tuesday for the Titleist experience
Listening in now. Having hit the GTS I’m curious to see what else I can learn
Conforming list photos are mugshots haha, that is a great analogy
The S is for speed and stability. Kind of figured that based on my testing.
Very eye opening to me. Awesome cast. Look forward to seeing these in action.
A different face for every model? Interesting.
Love hearing from Josh. He does sound really excited about the GTS line.
I like the little talk about GTS4 at the end. That is going to be one that people talk about for awhile I think.
glad they figured out how to make it not explode 😂
I have to dive into this one later.
I enjoyed hitting the 3 models, and even though I didn’t get WOW’d, I was still seeing enough to give these another chance. Love Titleist woods so much, I think I might end up with a GTS2 in the bag.
Went and hit this today.

Listened on the way to and from my round today, awesome episode per usual [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER]! It was interesting to hear Josh talk about how the different R&D/component teams work together to come up with the finished product.

It’s a pretty solid strategy, yeah lmao
Dang, the stories that guy can tell. Only half way through and reliving the Vokey Experience is mind blowing (again) not gonna lie, still sad it’s over.

That was good [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER]! It’s funny to hear about your experience with the GT3 because that’s exactly where I am with it right now. I remember you telling me about how good they were at the Vokey Experience and now I’m having my own “revelation”!
What blows my mind with GTS is knowing GT leaves some meat on the bone. That’s insane!
Make it sound like metal without being metal.
🤯

still such a wild concept. Really allowing them to control the sound story more.

The funny part about progress is how much you want to be a part of it, but then you have to walk away from something you currently totally believe in which is such a tough feeling. I’m leaving the GT3 head with SO much positive experience.
But, it also comes with massive opportunity which is cool.

I’m REALLY looking forward to hearing all the experiences moving from GT to GTS. Or “927” as it might be. 🤣
That was a good one. Really enjoyed the insight into the proto testing development piece
