Titleist claims that their new generation of drivers - the GT2, GT3, and GT4 - are the brand's most "advanced and best-performing drivers" they've ever built. And who are we to argue?
The GT line represents a giant leap of faith towards multi-material construction, and also incorporates many technological advancements that will raise eyebrows, even from an industry leader like Titleist.
The new GT line consists of three models. GT2 is designed for speed and forgiveness across the face with a higher-MOI setup. GT3 is designed for fine-tuned speed and control, maximizing distance and optimizing flight. GT4 is a low-spin, 430cc driver designed to eliminate excessive spin and deliver a fast, penetrating trajectory.
One of the main features of the new GT drivers is the multi-material nature of the clubhead. Each driver in the GT line features an all-new Seamless Thermoform Crown comprised of a new Proprietary Matrix Polymer. This unique, ultra-light material allowed Titleist engineers to place discretionary mass in the optimal locations for each model, providing exceptional speed and stability with GT's Split Mass Construction. The material, never used previously in golf clubhead design, afforded Titleist engineers unprecedented design solutions regarding internal weight positioning, unlocking gains across multiple categories of driver performance. The crown is wrapped to the sole using an advanced thermoforming process, resulting in a clean look with no visible seam or transition between material.
"One of our first goals with GT was to make it faster than TSR," said Chuck Golden, SVP, Titleist Club Research & Development. "And the only way to achieve our design goals was to break out of an all-titanium construction."
