    I was fit into a GT2 driver paired with my existing Tour AD-IZ 5S shaft as well as weight changes and I have seen measurable gains from the TSR2 it replaced. +5 mph ball speed, +15 yds carry, +10 to +15 yds total (avg. 285 total), and higher consistent ball flight I have not seen in any other model personally.

    My first round with it and Arcos had me at +10 yds total on the round compared to previous rounds with my TSR2. During that first round I had a horrible, pushed toe strike that still went 263 yards (according to Arcos); I was able to find it and still make par. I just completed a fitting for the GT2 4 wood and 7 wood with the Trackman showing the same measurable gains as the driver did compared to my TSR. The Titleist fitter, who was fantastic by the way, said the 7 wood especially came a long way in this iteration from TSR2.

    Needless to say, I will also be replacing both fairways in the bag, and I also think this underscores the importance of getting a proper fitting with a qualified fitter. I will never buy straight off the rack if I can help it as the surefit setting, weights, and shaft play significant factors depending on your swing DNA. I know there are many opinions floating on the internet as far as "is it really that much better than the last model?" and "Price, price, price". I will say, it is definitely that much better and everything from everybody is expensive these days, do what's best for you.

    Good job Titleist Team!

    I went from a 915D2 to a GT2. I never had a connection with the 915D2 because I bought the driver off the rack after 5 minutes with it on the simulator. With the GT2, I got fitted for it and waited a week and a half for it to arrive.

    I feel excitement and confidence when I pull it out of the bag. It goes farther than my old driver and is more forgiving. I love it!

    As an added bonus, the head cover is a head turner at the driving range and everyone who doesn't have a GT wants to either hold it or asks to hit it. :)

    I'm in the GT2 3-wood, may go with the 13.5. Smashing the 3-wood now, love the control. Ball doesn't balloon like some fairways do for me (I know, it's my swing doing most of it).

    I got mine last week and have 36 holes under my belt. Got fit with the GT2 driver out of the TSR3 and absolutely love it. I did pick up some yardage on the trackman, but I get more consistency and the height witndow I prefer is easier to attain with my natural swing and didn't have to work for it. I think for me personally, it is a combination of a great product, and a Titleist fitting day where the fitter listens and knows how to get results.
  5. So, I may be in the minority here. I've always trusted almost everything Titleist has put out because it's been such quality and top performing. However, in this new line of GT drivers it's been my experience that they are all but the same as the previous edition. Let me expand on that.

    So I currently game the TSR3. I had the TSR2 and I had the TSi3 before them. When the GT models came out, I immediately headed down to the local Golf Galaxy to give them some testing. I took my TSR3 with me. What I found, actually surprised me because I was full on ready to purchase the GT3 going in. But... what I found was that I hit the TSR3 and GT3 the exact same! I mean the numbers were all but identical and the dispersions were fairly tight to each other.

    What I did find, though, is that the GT2 is in fact I believe a true upgrade over the TSR model. The Fitter in GG asked me to try it out even though that wasn't a model I was considering. It wasn't longer than my TSR3 but it definitely allowed for me to get super consistent results when I had the ball finding anything but the middle of the club at the end of a long session.

    Overall, I would say i chalk this whole thing up to one simple thing. Titleist is so good at what they do, that even beating their own previous years products is tough. And frankly, that's not a terrible thing imo. If someone was playing a lot older model I'd 100% tell them to get one of the GT's. But, if you had the TSR range, for me, I don't think its a huge upgrade because you already have one of the best clubs on the market still!

    Okay...so maybe I'm in the minority here...or maybe I just got a bad head...not sure. I tested the GT2 pre-release in my local PGA Tour Superstore and was absolutely blown away by the results. Anywhere I hit it on the face resulted in 2200-2700 spin with the majority hits being in the 2400-2500 spin range. I was sold! Ordered it that day and when it came in I was super excited to try it out. Long story short...hitting it at the course on a GC3 launch monitor and the spin is high and all over the place. Center strikes at 0.5 swing path producing 3500 spin using a Ventus TR black (low spin, low launch) shaft. I had to hit so high on the face to produce 2500 spin that I thought I was going to sky it! I had to go exchange it for a GT4 head to see if the spin will come down.

    Just grabbed the GT3 this weekend (to replace the TSr2) and got to play 9 with it. After adjusting the adapter to my usual B1 setting I really enjoyed it. Nice and straight.

    Now I need to figure out the secondary settings. It's in Neutral right now, need to research to see what the other 4 settings do.

    Purchased a leftover TSR3 this spring. I upgraded from my TS3. Been a Titleist man for quite a few years. Usually upgrade every 2 or 3 models. Have not seen anyone with a GT3. Would really like to try one to see the difference. Makes me wonder if I should have waited.
