Titleist’s GT driver line, which launched earlier this year, expands on the success of the popular TSR family. With three distinct models from which to choose (GT2, GT3 and GT4), players have options.
After conducting several driver fittings and player testing at our Scottsdale True Spec Golf facility, here’s what we learned about the GT line:
GT2: Best for players seeking performance and forgiveness
The model that will fit most players is the GT2. This driver is fast, forgiving and has a much more appealing shape — it appears much more neutral and without a draw bias — compared to the previous generation TSr2 model.

While still having a shallower face compared to the other two GT models, there is still plenty of surface area to suggest that this driver packs a punch and will appeal to intermediate and accomplished ball strikers alike.
In testing, we found the GT2 is easy to launch and sustains ball speed and spin numbers across most of the hitting surface. It also was responsive for players who tend to miss toward the heel and low on the face. The GT2’s start direction is fairly neutral and doesn’t yield itself to a particular flight bias down range.
GT3: Best for players seeking speed and shot-shaping
For those players looking to have additional control over their ball and shot shape, the GT3 answers the call.
With a sleek and more traditional pear shape, the GT3 provides solid feedback through impact and also delivers a satisfying sound. With new proprietary Thermoform material in the crown as well as a redesigned Split Mass weighting system, some Titleist loyalists may have concerns about a change in the acoustics. For me, though, the GT3 produces the familiar acoustics that Titleist fans have come to know and love.

Launch and spin was noticeably lower when compared to the GT2, with the start direction trending toward being more right bias for a right-handed player and a visual at address that gives the appearance of sitting more “open” to the target.
Accomplished players who struggle with a pull or hook miss will appreciate the GT3 for its workability, but the club still maintains an impressive amount of forgiveness and lends itself to a fade-bias profile.
GT4: Best for players seeking lower spin and workability
The most precise ball-strikers will appreciate the smaller and more compact GT4. This head will appeal to high-launch, high-spin players seeking to eliminate the left side of the golf course.
At 430 cc, the GT4 will appear to have a deeper face and produce the lowest launch and lowest spin of any model in the GT family.
During testing, I noticed a surprising improvement in forgiveness and sustainability of ball speed, despite the GT4’s smaller head size.

Compared to the previous generation TSr4, the GT4 was faster across the face and noticeably more forgiving on the miss. Despite the added forgiveness, ball speed wasn’t sacrificed and the head still performed for players with above-average clubhead speeds who are looking for a more boring trajectory off the tee.
Whether you’re a seasoned Titleist enthusiast or exploring Titleist drivers for the first time, the GT family offers something for all game-improvement needs. I would recommend testing all three models and working with your local golf professional or professional fitter to determine what model works best for your individual game.
