The Titleist GT line is now complete with the release of GT hybrids to complement this past summer’s GT driver and fairway woods launch.
Here are three things to know about the new line of Titleist GT hybrids, which are available now for preorder on Fairway Jockey.
1. More adjustable than ever
With the new line of GT hybrids, Titleist is now the only OEM offering both loft sleeve and center of gravity (CG) adjustability in every hybrid in their lineup.
“The next question we asked ourselves in the design process was, ‘How do we really optimize performance for the player?’” said Tom Bennett, Titleist Principal Product Manager for Metalwood R&D. “We wanted golfers to unlock the best possible performance out of these models through the fitting process. With the forward-aft adjustable weights on GT1 and the heel-toe adjustable weights on GT2 and GT3, we’ve added a considerable amount of customization to each model, which will go a long way in dialing in launch conditions and ball flight.”
All three models will come stock with a 5-gram and an 11-gram weight. With the ultralight GT1, designed for players who need high launch, the 11-gram weight will come standard in the aft position to make the CG as deep as possible to help with launch. Players who want a lower spinning or lower launching setup, but still benefit from the ultralight or high-forgiveness design of GT1 can move the heavy weight forward.
The GT2 and GT3 hybrids will come standard with the 11-gram weight in the heel, but flipping the weights to put the heavy one in the toe gives the club a fade-bias setup and aligns the CG just a little on the toe side of the face, which is where many players tend to hit the ball.
The weights can also be customized with a weight kit with weight options going in 2-gram increments ranging from 3 to 13 grams. The weight of the club head can also be adjusted between 6 grams lighter and 6 grams heavier, depending on the combination chosen.
2. New high MOI designs
Forgiveness was a priority in Bennett’s design process.
“When we set out to improve our hybrid lineup, one of the first things we looked at in terms of our design goals was stability,” he said. “Hybrid forgiveness is particularly important because for most players, these are scoring clubs. Eliminating excessive distance drop-off is a huge benefit — not just off the tee, but maybe even more so in approaching the green.”
Putting the heavier weight in the rear of the GT1 hybrid also increases the MOI. The club has 5 percent more MOI than the previous generation TSR1 while having MOI properties similar to those of the TSR1 with the heavy forward weight.
The GT2 hybrid has the highest MOI in the family, an increase of 10 percent from the previous model. The GT3 hybrid, despite being 6 percent smaller than its predecessor, has a whopping 15 percent more MOI thanks to improved perimeter weighting.
3. Three models
All three of the GT hybrid models serve a specific player archetype.
The GT1 hybrid, like its companions in the recently announced GT1 lineup, is an ultralight option that promotes high launch and mid-spin but can also be ordered in a standard weight spec for stronger players who need more launch. Unlike the rest of the GT hybrid lineup, GT1 comes stock with .335″ tip fairway shafts which play softer to help promote a higher launch. The GT1 can be custom ordered with a .370″ tip and the same shafts available in GT2 and GT3. Compared with TSR1, the GT1 hybrid has longer heel-to-toe to boost forgiveness.
Titleist took feedback from Tour players and made a sleeker profile for the GT2 hybrid, but it remains the highest MOI option in the lineup. Borrowing from the GT fairway woods, a flatter leading edge also helps it stay more flush to the ground.
Meanwhile, the GT3 hybrid has also gotten smaller for players who want a more iron-like look, and it also features the flatter leading edge of the GT2.
Price and availability
All three GT hybrids will be available for pre-sale starting Feb. 4 and will be available for purchase at golf shops and retailers starting Feb. 21.
GT hybrids are priced at $329 a club and can be preordered now on Fairway Jockey.
