Titleist GT - Simply put, the GT series represents the biggest material and technological leap in the design of Titleist drivers and woods.

“The GT series represents a monumental leap forward in the design and engineering of Titleist drivers,” said Stephanie Luttrell, Titleist Metalwood product development director. “The breakthroughs we have achieved in material construction, shaping, and design were not possible in previous generations. All the advancements contained in the GT work together to create the most powerful driver we have ever made.”

The new GT series consists of three models. The GT2 is designed for speed and forgiveness across the face with a higher MOI setting. The GT3 is designed for finely tuned speed and control, maximizing distance and optimizing flight. The GT4 is a low-spin 430cc driver designed to eliminate excessive spin and provide a fast, penetrating trajectory.

Each driver in the GT series is equipped with a completely new crown made from a new proprietary polymer matrix. This unique ultra-lightweight material allowed Titleist engineers to place discrete mass in optimal locations for each model, providing exceptional speed and stability. The GT retains the classic Titleist driver look from above with a clean transition between the crown and the titanium clubhead body, and the acoustic properties of the proprietary polymer matrix preserve the player-preferred sound and feel. Enhanced aerodynamics increase clubhead speed, and the new Speed Ring and VFT impact face design contribute to higher ball speed on center and off-center hits. The combination of these improvements creates an exceptionally fast driver that offers extremely consistent spin and launch conditions across the face.

“When we launch a new product, it has to outperform the previous series,” said Josh Talge, vice president of Titleist golf club marketing. “The GT had to be faster than the TSR. It had to be longer and more accurate and had to sound, look, and feel better. The GT delivers these qualities in every respect without compromise.”

OVERVIEW OF Titleist GT TECHNOLOGIES

“When we decided to build a more powerful GT driver, it was important for us to go back and consider all performance attributes,” said Luttrell.

Seamless crown. Each model in the GT series features an ultra-light crown made from a new proprietary polymer matrix. A material never before used in golf club head design provided Titleist engineers with unprecedented design solutions regarding internal weight placement, unlocking gains across multiple driver performance categories. The crown is wrapped into the sole using an advanced thermoforming process, resulting in a clean appearance with no visible joint or transition between materials.

“One of our first goals with the GT was to make it faster than the TSR,” said Chuck Golden, senior vice president of Titleist club research and development. “And the only way to achieve our design goals was to avoid an all-titanium construction.”

“The density of this crown is approximately three times lighter than where we were with an all-titanium construction,” said Luttrell. “By wrapping the crown into the sole, we optimize weight distribution throughout the head, allowing us significant advantages in designing our center of gravity and inertia goals.”

When transitioning to a multi-material construction, one of the main priorities of the Titleist R&D team was to preserve the classic Titleist metallic sound. The unique acoustic properties of the proprietary polymer matrix allowed Titleist engineers to finely tune the amazing sound and feel while still maximizing weight savings from the new GT construction.

Split weight. The weight savings from the GT thermoformed crown allowed Titleist engineers to relocate discrete mass to optimal positions in the clubhead. Weight was strategically shifted both toward the front of the club, enabling higher speed through center of gravity placement, and toward the back, providing stable performance with high MOI. The center of gravity placement differs among the three models, allowing players to find the right combination of speed, launch angle, and spin for their game with three unique settings.

“The discrete weight we gained from the thermoformed crown allowed us to place our center of gravity exactly where we want it,” said Luttrell. “How did we distribute the weight savings? We split the weight, isolated it incredibly low and forward, and moved the rest of the weight to the back of the head. We achieved incredible speed along with stability thanks to this balanced mass position.”

Improved aerodynamics. Improvements in internal construction and weight distribution allowed greater aerodynamic optimization across the three models, a breakthrough not previously possible due to design constraints. GT drivers have refined profiles that help reduce drag and increase clubhead speed.

“In our aerodynamic research and engineering, we study head shaping, especially crown and heel curvature, to optimize airflow, reduce turbulence, and drag,” said Luttrell. “The result is a significant increase in clubhead speed.”

Enhanced Speed Ring with VFT. The exceptionally fast GT impact face features two key technologies. The enhanced titanium Speed Ring reinforces and stabilizes the perimeter of the impact face, producing maximum ball speed on center hits, while the variable face thickness (VFT) works to maintain consistently high ball speed on off-center hits, eliminating excessive distance drop-off.

“The Speed Ring maximizes COR in the center and consequently maximizes ball speed,” said Lutrell. “But the Speed Ring naturally limits the perimeter of the impact face, which could lead to lower performance off-center. That’s where VFT comes in. VFT effectively allows us to discreetly thin the face, expand the sweet spot size, and maximize speed on off-center strikes.”

Tour-inspired graphics. GT models feature new face graphics designed to make it easier to align precisely behind the ball. This change, driven by specific prototyping and Tour player feedback, helps golfers align the golf ball with the center of the head with greater confidence.

TITLEIST GT DRIVER MODELS

GT2: Speed and forgiveness across the face. The GT2 driver is designed for golfers who would benefit from a fast and forgiving driver on center and off-center hits. Players who struggle to find a consistent impact spot on the clubface will experience exceptionally high ball speed across the face thanks to the enhanced Speed Ring and variable face thickness combined with maximum stability from the higher MOI GT2 design.

The shaping of the GT2 has been refined for a confidence-inspiring look and enhanced for maximum aerodynamic performance. The clubhead is longer front to back, and its face is slightly shallower. Compared to previous “2” models, the GT2 has a more traditional pear shape, bringing its profile closer to the GT3. Removable weight in the rear position allows control over head weight and swing weight, providing personalized performance and feel.

Like all GT models, the GT2 benefits from the new seamless thermoformed crown and split weight, which work together with other model enhancements to deliver overall driver performance.

GT2 details and specifications:

  • High trajectory, low spin
  • Head: 460cc
  • Lofts: 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0 (right/left-handed)
  • Standard length: 45.5”
  • Standard lie: 58.5°
  • Weight options: 9 grams (nominal) with +6, +4, +2, -2, -4, -6
  • SureFit hosel: Compatible with TSR, TSi, TS

GT3: Tuned distance and control. The GT3 delivers extremely high ball speed along with maximum adjustability for players seeking optimized distance and ball flight control. With a new Center of Gravity setting now located closer to the impact face compared to the TSR3, fitters and golfers can choose among five CG positions (H2, H1, N, T1, T2). Optimal CG placement extracts more speed and greater consistency in ball flight.

Like the GT2, the GT3 head is 460cc, although its shape appears more compact and pear-shaped, and its impact face is taller. Compared to the TSR3, the GT3 shape is more aerodynamic, translating into higher clubhead speeds.

At the core of all GT3 improvements is the new seamless thermoformed crown and split weight, enabling higher ball speeds and greater stability.

GT3 details and specifications:

  • Higher trajectory, lower spin
  • Head: 460cc
  • Lofts: 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0 (right/left-handed)
  • Standard length: 45.5”
  • Standard lie: 58.5°
  • Weight options: 8 grams (nominal) with +6, +4, +2, -2, -4
  • SureFit hosel: Compatible with TSR, TSi, TS

GT4: Exceptional low-spin performance. The GT4 is designed for players who want to eliminate spin – typically over 3000 RPM – to create a more penetrating and efficient ball flight. The GT4’s dual spin control settings allow golfers to choose between a more aggressive spin reduction or a more balanced and stable setting with a milder spin reduction. This is achieved by moving the heavier (11 grams) and lighter (3 grams) weights between two positions. The GT4 also has a smaller profile than the GT2 and GT3 models with a 430cc volume.

Performance improvements in the GT4 start with its seamless thermoformed crown and split weight, where Titleist engineers pushed internal weight distribution further apart, maintaining stability with weight in the back while shifting the center of gravity forward for greater spin reduction.

GT4 details and specifications:

  • Mid trajectory, lowest spin
  • Head: 430cc
  • Lofts: 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 (right/left-handed)
  • Standard length: 45.5”
  • Standard lie: 58.5°
  • Center of gravity options: 11 grams (front) / 3 grams (back), or vice versa.
