Titleist Golf Clubs
Titleist GTS Drivers Compared: GTS2, GTS3, GTS4 and GT1
Four heads solving four different problems, and how to work out which one is yours.
GTS2
460cc, mid launch, mid spin, and the most forgiving head in the family. If you took a hundred golfers and gave them all one Titleist driver, this is the one that would work for most of them.
It is also the head that better players skip too readily. Forgiveness is not a beginner’s feature — it is what protects your average drive.
GTS3
450cc, slightly more compact at address, and fitted with a SureFit CG track. That track lets a fitter shift weight toward the heel or toe, biasing the head’s shot shape.
The compact shape suits golfers who prefer a smaller footprint. The track suits golfers who have a specific shape they want encouraged or discouraged. If neither of those describes you, the track is a feature you will pay for and never use.
GTS4
460cc but built low-spin. Aimed at fast swings that produce more spin than they want and lose distance to a ballooning flight.
The requirement here is consistency, not just speed. A fast golfer with a scattered strike gives up more to GTS4’s reduced forgiveness than they gain from its reduced spin.
GT1
The lightweight head, built for moderate swing speeds. Lighter overall build, easier to swing quickly, easier to launch.
This is the most underrated club in the Titleist range. A great many golfers playing GTS2 with a heavy shaft would drive the ball further and straighter with GT1, and never consider it because it is positioned as the “easy” option.
Which one is yours
Work from the problem, not the model:
- Strike wanders, distance inconsistent → GTS2.
- Good strike, want to bias your shape → GTS3.
- High speed, high spin, flight stalls and drops → GTS4.
- Moderate speed, driver feels heavy or hard to swing → GT1.
- Genuinely unsure → GTS2, and get the shaft fitted properly.
The SureFit hosel is not a fix
Adjustability refines a head that already suits you. It does not convert one head into another.
Two things worth knowing. Adding loft usually closes the face slightly, which helps a slice and can worsen a hook. And if you need an extreme setting to make a driver work, the driver is wrong.
Recording the comparison rather than remembering it
Four heads in one session is more than memory handles well. Whichever you hit last tends to win, and the single best strike of the day overshadows the twenty around it.
FocusGolf keeps the record instead. It runs on Wear OS, Apple Watch and Garmin, picks up each swing automatically with no sensor on the club, and logs swing speed, tempo and shot distance throughout. Hit a block with each head, then read the blocks back from your session history afterwards. The head with the best average is frequently not the one you walked out convinced by.
Fitting tip: Keep the shaft constant while comparing heads. Change both at once and you learn nothing about either.
