There has always been a mixture of reactions to Titleist’s staggered release strategy keeping hybrids separate from drivers and fairways, specifically since it keeps some from purchasing everything at once. However, upon taking a step back you might soon realize that this move not only builds anticipation, but it subsequently brings the rest of the line back to the forefront of thought for golfers worldwide when they do release.
No matter what side of opinion you sit on, it is once again that time, so, let’s say hello to the GT1, GT2, and GT3 hybrids from Titleist.

Creating the Titleist GT Hybrids Family
With TSR, Titleist differentiated the hybrids well, but GT does that and then some. The primary design motivator was to add more stability along with increasing forgiveness. In that however, they made sure to not lose that definitive audience for each model, making sure every design had a different player profile focus.
For whatever reason, when it comes to hybrids there are companies who get so lost in chasing distance that they forget most golfers are using them as scoring clubs rather than tee only. Titleist isn’t one of those companies. For GT they have refined the shape of each clubhead working to improve MOI across the line and according to their internal testing have achieved 5%, 10%, and 15% more in each respective model.

Besides shaping changes, the key to achieving the design goals rests within the new dual CG weight system. While we have seen Titleist use weights in their hybrids before, the dual system has unlocked another gear of performance and fitting for the brand. In the GT1 they have created what they call “forward and aft” weighting (front and back), while the GT2 and GT2 both use heel-toe locations. All three come standard with 11g and 5g weights, though Titleist fitters will have access to 3g, 7g, 9g, and 13g as well.
Without further ado, lets dive into the nuance of each GT hybrid design.
Titleist GT1 Hybrid
The GT1 has a refined focus and embraces its place as the bigger footprint of the lineup. Interestingly, it is also longer heel-to-toe than the TSR1, which helps with lateral forgiveness. Combined with that is the inclusion of front/back Dual Performance Control Settings into the head.

Each GT1 hybrid comes with 11g and 5g weights with the heaviest first placed in the rear port. That orientation helps give the GT1 hybrid the deepest CG of the lineup, on top of increasing MOI 5% from its predecessor. With the weight forward, it essentially tests out in line with what the TSR1 was.
Taking it further, Titleist is also using .335 adapters in the GT1, meaning fairway wood shafts. The reason for that is these shafts typically play softer with higher balance points, both things that give the target audience exactly what they need. Fret not though, .370 adapters fit and any of the shaft options from the GT2 and GT3 can be ordered custom for the GT1 hybrid.
Titleist is making the GT1 hybrid available standard with the Fujikura Air Speeder Next Gen (50g – R2, R, S or 40g – R3/W, JR) and in 20, 23, 26, as well as 29 degree lofts in RH/LH.
Titleist GT2 Hybrid
The GT2 has the highest MOI of all three models, which may surprise you, but the “in-between” sizing compared to the other two heads is key to making that possible. Compared to the TSR2, this has a more enhanced shaping as well as a sole that sits more flush/flat to the turf.

Titleist has managed to increase the MOI of the GT2 by 10% compared to its predecessor, and when you mix that with the deeper CG the results are higher ball flights that can be further tuned with the dual weighting design. The 11g weight will come initially installed in the toe of the GT2 to add some fade bias as well as put more mass where better golfers tend to miss on the face with a hybrid.
Loft options on the GT2 are 18, 21, and 24 degrees (RH and LH). Shaft options include the Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black HY (85 – S, X), Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Blue HY (65 – R, S), Project X HZRDUS Black 5th Gen HY (80 – 6.0, 6.5), and Project X Denali Red HY (50 – 4.0 and 60 – 5.0, 5.5, 6.0).
Titleist GT3 Hybrid
Just because it might be the most compact design of the trio, doesn’t mean it is any less powerful. The GT3 is the shot makers hybrid option from Titleist with its iron-like shaping and size. There was also considerable attention given to flattening the leading edge to improve the interaction from a variety of lies.

Believe it or not, the GT3 saw the biggest MOI jump compared to its TSR counterpart, increasing by 15% despite being 6% smaller. As with the other two models, the secret sauce there is the perimeter weighting as well as the heel-toe CG adjustability. Like with the GS2, the heavy weight (11g) comes standard in the toe initially to add fade bias and put more mass where stronger swingers tend to strike it most.
Titleist will be offering the GT3 in 19, 21, and 24 degrees (RH and LH). Shaft options include the Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black HY (85 – S, X), Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Blue HY (65 – R, S), Project X HZRDUS Black 5th Gen HY (80 – 6.0, 6.5), and Project X Denali Red HY (50 – 4.0 and 60 – 5.0, 5.5, 6.0).
The Details – Titleist GT Hybrids
As you can see, they may have made everyone wait, but the result is pure Titleist with three unique hybrids that cover the entire range of wants and needs. The GT hybrids will come to retail everywhere worldwide beginning 2/21/25. Pricing on each model is $329.

The dual weighting on these is pretty nice feature for a hybrid. These look fun to hit.
Love the options they are giving golfers here. A little busy sole for a Titleist, but worth it to get that weighting imho.
These are so so so cool in hand. The variety they accomplish compared to other brands always amazes me and GT is the same.
Really looking forward to getting them outdoors soon.

The 3 being smaller than last time, but with a 15% higher MOI should have a lot of people wanting to hit it. It’s such a well done shape in person.

Yeah it does.
Oooh. I really like that the GT3 is smaller and that even though they had to change from the full weight track to swappable perimeter weights, the adjustability is still there. Between this release and Elyte, I will definitely be trying out hybrids for that transition spot this season.
Great write up [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER]. Question I have that i hope I didn’t skim over, any idea if these also include the Proprietary Matrix Polymer?
You can really see how the 3 looks like an iron with that shaping. The gt1 looks like a fun tweener if you’re not sure if you want a fairway or hybrid.
Lots of options here.

They do not, that has to do clubhead size/surface-area, it’s more difficult to implement into hybrids and the returns may not have been beneficial enough for the cost.

Haha, same. I’d imagine it’s just diminishing returns versus real tangible performance benefits.
It blows my mind a little that they’re just now really getting into the dual weighting here. But man, 5, 10, and 15% MOI bumps for each head respectively is big time.
Lots of options if you are in the hunt for a hybrid but certainly want to get fit.
15% MOI in the GT3 has my attention. These will be fun to experiment with.
Also, I do think this dual system on the GT3 is superior to what they were using on the previous TSR3
I usually really like their 2 series hybrid. I’d like to see this one in person because I’m not sold on the shape from the pics. I do like how they talk about getting it to see a bit more flush to the turf.

You misspelled GT2, hahahaha
The TSR2 that I have in my bag has been truly special. To think they have improved moi and forgiveness and launch with the GT2 is crazy. Each generation of clubs just goes to show how good these engineers and designers are. Truly amazing.

The GT2 was where I thought I would go. The GT3 might also be an option. As good as my TSR2 has been it’s crazy to think what the GT line could be.
very interesting that the GT2 actually has the highest MOI. That GT3 looks fantastic to me and is my preferred size in hybrids. Titleist always seems to do hybrids very well.
Like the looks of the 2 and 3. Shame they don’t come in the next higher loft. Might have been a contender for my 5/6 hybrid loft space. Still might for the 24.

I think it’s because they’re considered their better players hybrids, same as why the heavy weight comes standard in the toe versus the heel.
But it would be cool to see the 2 in another loft or two.

Honestly, I was looking at pics blind during some editing a couple hours ago and didn’t even realize it was a hybrid. I wondered why you put a fwy wood with hybrids lol
I want to visually compare the GT1 to my GT2 5w just as much as I want to visually compare the GT3 to my U•505. For science.

Hahahaha, when I uploaded I thought “I should label these” ?
I really love the weighting story underneath here [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER] smart move by Titleist I think
These fly under the radar sometimes, but could take the title as prettiest hybrids
Hoping I can get the 3 out tomorrow, maybe, lots of travel prep to do still too.

That what I hope for as a hook is putting it mildly with my misses on hybrids when the hands take over. Know the MOI max talk in drivers is huge currently but personally this would be the perfect spot for it but the squeeze might not be worth it.

The 2 looks killer, it’s that tweener face wise, I think it’ll appeal to many
I really want to try the GT2 and GT3 a lot
Looking forward to comparing the GT2 against my TSR2 4 hybrid.
Looks like I’m out. I play TSR3’s at 19 and 24, and love the compact size, and I was hoping the GT line would include something in 28/29 that was similarly sized, as visually I can’t reconcile the larger head in that slot. ?????

This was another segment we talked about at the Titleist experience, and the team there was very excited about what they had to offer.
These look like they have a lot to offer – the heel/toe weights, that square face, and a flatter sole design that speaks to a guy like me who plays off hard ground most of the year. I really like the shape of the 3, and did they ever slim it down (at least visually) from the TSR line.
Despite the 3 being the “players” design, it’s impressive to me that there was still a boost in MOI to be found, the engineering on clubs is getting so impressive, and recent conversations around the forum have been about embracing playing more forgiving clubs. 5% isn’t a ton, but it’s still a potential boost of forgiveness in a very slimmed down design.
I had the opportunity to hit the GT2, it’s spectacular.
These look outstanding. I love the clear progression from small fairway wood in the GT1 to a true iron replacement in the GT3. I have a TSR2 21* that I absolutely love for my ~215-220 yard slot, and a 4i in for the 200-205 slot. I’d be really curious what a GT2 or GT3 hybrid would do in that slot.
