Lead with your miss

Speed is the number golfers quote. The miss is what costs strokes. Find yours:

  • Right, weak, dropping out of the air — you need launch and forgiveness. GTS2, more loft, and possibly GT1 if the club feels like hard work.
  • Right, but flying reasonably — a path and face issue. Loft setting and shaft matter more than head model.
  • Left, low, running out — you are closing the face hard. Adding loft may make this worse. Look at shaft and grip size before changing heads.
  • High, stalling, landing short — spin. GTS4 if your strike is repeatable; otherwise stay in GTS2 and address it with shaft and tee height.
  • Everywhere — strike quality. Take GTS2, and shorten the shaft.

Speed as a secondary filter

Moderate speeds are well served by GT1. Lighter build, easier to accelerate, easier to launch. Also take more loft than instinct suggests — under-lofting is the most common self-inflicted distance loss in amateur golf.

Middle speeds sit naturally in GTS2, with GTS3 available if you want shape control.

High speeds open up GTS4, but only alongside a consistent strike.

The shape-bias question

GTS3’s CG track is genuinely useful for one specific golfer: someone with a repeatable shape who wants it encouraged or moderated.

It is much less useful for someone whose ball goes both ways. A weight setting cannot correct an inconsistent face, and chasing settings week to week is a good way to never establish a baseline.

Length beats almost everything

Stock drivers are longer than most golfers should play. Half an inch shorter reliably improves centre contact, and centre contact beats marginal clubhead speed nearly every time.

If two GTS heads test the same, try the same head shorter. That change often outperforms switching model.

A short decision path

  1. Slicing or losing height → GTS2, more loft, lighter shaft. Consider GT1.
  2. Driver feels heavy or effortful → GT1.
  3. Consistent strike, want shape control → GTS3.
  4. Fast, consistent, spinning too much → GTS4.
  5. Undecided → GTS2, fitted for length and shaft.

Coach’s tip: If your good drives only come from a smooth swing, the club is too long or too light. Fix the build, not the tempo.
