New GT Models Deliver Generational Leap In Titleist Driver And Fairway Design
Titleist, the most played driver on the PGA TOUR for five years and counting, introduces three all-new GT driver models, the most advanced and best-performing drivers to ever bear the Titleist script. GT2, GT3 and GT4 drivers are engineered to deliver total driver performance without sacrifice. In addition to exceptional looks, feel and sound, the new line is faster, longer, straighter and more forgiving across the face than any Titleist driver to precede it.
The new GT driver 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, maximising distance and optimising flight. GT4 is a low-spin, 430cc driver designed to eliminate excessive spin and deliver a fast, penetrating trajectory.
“The GT line represents a monumental leap forward for Titleist driver design and engineering. The breakthroughs we made in material, construction, shaping and design weren’t possible in prior generations. All the advancements found in GT are working in concert to create the highest-performing driver we have ever made.”
- Stephanie Luttrell, Director, Titleist Metalwood Product Development.
GT Technology Overview
Seamless Thermoform Crown
Each model in the GT lineup features an ultra-lightweight crown made from a new Proprietary Matrix Polymer. 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.
In moving to a multi-material construction, one of the top priorities from Titleist’s R&D team was to preserve the classic sound of Titleist metals. The unique acoustic properties of the Proprietary Matrix Polymer allowed Titleist engineers to fine-tune tremendous sound and feel while still maximising the weight-saving gains from GT’s new construction.
“One of our first goals with GT was to make it faster than TSR, and the only way to achieve our design goals was to break out of an all-titanium construction. The density of this crown is approximately three times lighter than where we were in an all-titanium construction. By wrapping the crown down to the sole, we optimise the mass distribution throughout the head, allowing us significant advantages in designing to our centre of gravity and inertia goals.”
