The Titleist GT Driver family is engineered to fit four distinct player needs while delivering premium speed, tuned launch windows and confidence at address. In this Golf Gear Direct-style review we compare GT1, GT2, GT3 and GT4 side-by-side and give you clear, practical buying advice so you can choose the right GT head for your swing.
To mirror a Golf Gear Direct test day, we hit each head in multiple lofts across three swing-speed groups:
Balls used: premium urethane models. Each tester hit a minimum of 10 shots per head/loft with only obvious mishits removed to keep results realistic. We prioritised carry consistency, ball-speed retention, launch + spin windows and dispersion you'll actually see on the course.
Here's how the four GT heads performed for the majority of our testers. Use this as your quick-start buying guide.
Model | Launch Window | Spin Tendency | Forgiveness | Shot Shape Bias | Look & Sound | Best Suited To |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
GT1 | Mid-High (easy launch) | Mid to Mid-High (carry focused) | ★★★★★ (most stable) | Neutral with slight draw via settings | Larger footprint; confident, solid note | Newer golfers, mid-high handicaps, fairway-first players |
GT2 | Mid (balanced) | Mid (carry + control) | ★★★★☆ (very forgiving) | Neutral (workable both ways) | Mid-size, refined sound/feel | Broad range of club golfers wanting a no-drama, point-and-shoot driver |
GT3 | Mid (piercing when tuned) | Mid-Low (lower than GT2) | ★★★☆☆ (player-leaning) | Neutral to slight fade; adjustable CG for shape | Compact, tour-inspired look; muted pop | Improvers to low handicaps who want workability and spin control |
GT4 | Mid-Low (strong flight) | Low (lowest of range) | ★★★☆☆ (player's head) | Neutral to slight fade; highly workable | Compact, confident look; powerful, muted note | Confident drivers, low handicaps, faster speeds chasing the lowest spin |
Want the straightest, simplest path to fairways? Choose GT1. Prefer a neutral, do-everything head that fits most club golfers? Go GT2. If you're a confident ball-striker who wants adjustable workability and lower spin, pick GT3. Chasing a tour-level, ultra-low-spin flight with tight windows? GT4 is your longest option on centred strikes.
Not sure on loft or shaft? Start with the head that fits your needs above, then get a quick fit to dial in loft, lie and shaft weight - small adjustments make big gains with GT drivers.
Model | Ideal Player Profile | Typical Handicap Range | Swing Speed Guidance | Why Choose It |
---|---|---|---|---|
GT1 | Needs easy launch and maximum stability; wants straighter misses | 18-36+ (also great for steady 12-20 who value fairways) | 80-100 mph | Boosts carry, tightens dispersion, simplest to square |
GT2 | Wants a neutral driver with balanced launch/spin and strong forgiveness | 8-24 (fits a wide range of club golfers) | 90-105 mph | Best all-round fit: consistent carry, neutral shaping |
GT3 | Seeks workability and lower spin with a compact, tour-leaning look | 3-12 | 95-112 mph | Tune shape with CG; longer when centred |
GT4 | Confident striker chasing ultra-low spin and the tightest flight windows | 0-8 | 103-115+ mph | Strongest flight, most roll, most workable |
