Titleist GT1 Golf Driver

Titleist GT1 Golf Driver
Titleist introduces the all-new GT1 driver, fairway and hybrid, rounding out the tour-validated GT metalwood lineup with models in each category designed to deliver high launch, fast ball speeds and increased stability.

New GT1 metalwoods feature ultra-lightweight configurations to facilitate effortless launch and speed for moderate swing speed players, yet all are configurable in a standard build to accommodate all players seeking higher launch and mid-spin performance. GT1 drivers, fairways and hybrids offer the deepest centre of gravity (CG) placements across the GT metalwood family in their respective categories.

Just as in the GT2, GT3 and GT4 driver designs, Titleist engineers achieved significant weight savings while retaining exceptional sound and feel in the GT1 driver through its Seamless Thermoform Crown, made from Titleist’s Proprietary Matrix Polymer (PMP). The driver features a Split Mass Construction, with weight redistributed internally for higher launch and optimal speed, spin and stability for the GT1 player. Faster clubhead speed was unlocked through improved aerodynamic shaping, and faster ball speed was achieved with GT1 driver’s Speed Ring and VFT technology.

Features of the Titleist GT1 Golf Driver

• GT1 drivers feature an ultra-lightweight configuration, complete with lightweight shafts and a lightweight grip, to facilitate faster clubhead speed and improve launch conditions for the moderate swing speed player. GT1 drivers are also available in a standard build, with a 15-gram (+6) headweight option and standard shaft and grip offerings. The standard setup is ideal for any player looking to increase launch and stability while preserving spin, without going to a lightweight build.
• Titleist engineers unlocked significant weight savings with GT1’s Seamless Thermoform Crown, made from Titleist’s new Proprietary Matrix Polymer, a material never previously used in golf clubhead design before the GT line. The lightweight PMP material preserves the classic Titleist sound and feel, and the crown is seamlessly wrapped to the club body to maintain a clean look at address.
• The discretionary weight unlocked from GT1’s crown is redistributed internally in its Split Mass Construction, with strategically positioned weight helping to increase launch and optimise speed, spin and stability. GT1’s CG is the deepest in the GT family.
• GT1 features more aerodynamic shaping, with refined crown and sole shape curvatures and a shallower face depth to promote faster clubhead speeds.
• An upgraded titanium Speed Ring reinforces and stabilizes the perimeter of GT1’s clubface, maximising ball speed for on-centre strikes, while GT1’s Variable Face Thickness (VFT) technology works to preserve consistently fast ball speeds on off-centre strikes.
• An interchangeable back weight on GT1 allows for control over headweight in the fitting process.

What Titleist say about the Titleist GT Golf Driver Family

“When we began thinking about how we evolve and improve upon the ‘1’ models, we started by tapping into our global network of fitting specialists to understand what it is that would really advance performance for GT1 players,”. “The resounding feedback that we heard across the board for the driver, fairways and hybrids is that anything we can do to increase launch is going to help this player improve their overall trajectory, consistency and distance. Making the line launch higher, while maintaining optimal spin rates, is really going to benefit both the moderate speed player as well as the player that is naturally low spin.” 

“Along with raising launch, we’re always looking at ways we can increase speed for this player,”. “The GT1 driver has a very aerodynamic shape – it is the shallowest head in terms of face depth and profile in the lineup. We worked hard to refine crown and sole shape curvatures to make it even faster through the air. And with its Speed Ring and VFT technology, which drive performance across all GT models in the lineup, GT1 is faster off the face as well.”
