Titleist GT3 Golf Driver

Features of the Titleist GT Golf Driver
The Titleist GT3 has been designed by Titleist to offer speed-tuned distance and control.
GT3 delivers extremely fast ball speed along with maximum adjustability for players seeking to optimise distance and control ball flight. With a new Adjustable CG Track, now positioned closer to the face compared to TSR3, fitters and golfers can select between five CG locations (H2, H1, N, T1, T2), lining up the CG setting to their strike location tendencies. An optimal CG location will extract more speed and greater consistency in ball flight. These benefits are magnified even more in GT3 due to the new, more forward location of the track.
 
Like GT2, GT3’s clubhead is 460cc, though its shape appears more compact and pear-shaped, and its clubface sits taller. Compared to TSR3, GT3’s shape is more aerodynamic, translating to faster clubhead speeds for the golfer.
 
At the centre of all GT3’s advancements are its new Seamless Thermoform Crown and Split Mass Construction, which allow for faster ball speeds and more stability.
 

About the Titleist GT Golf Driver Family
Titleist GT2, GT3 and GT4 golf driver models deliver a generational leap in Titleist driver design.  Already the the most played driver on the PGA TOUR for five years and counting, Titleist GT driver models are the most advanced and best-performing drivers to ever bear the Titleist script.

GT2, GT3 and GT4 drivers are engineered to deliver total driver performance without sacrifice. In addition to exceptional looks, feel and sound, the new line is faster, longer, straighter and more forgiving across the face than any Titleist driver to precede it.
 
The Titleist GT line consists of three models:
- GT2 is designed for speed and forgiveness across the face with a higher-MOI setup
- GT3 is designed for fine-tuned speed and control, maximising distance and optimising flight
- GT4 is a low-spin, 430cc driver designed to eliminate excessive spin and deliver a fast, penetrating trajectory

Each driver in the Titleist GT line features an all-new Seamless Thermoform Crown comprised of a new Proprietary Matrix Polymer. This unique, ultra-light material allowed Titleist engineers to place discretionary mass in the optimal locations for each model, providing exceptional speed and stability with GT’s Split Mass Construction. GT maintains the classic Titleist driver look at address with a clean transition between the crown and the club’s titanium body, and the acoustic properties of the Proprietary Matrix Polymer preserve a player-preferred sound and feel. Refined aerodynamics increase clubhead speed, and a new Speed Ring and VFT face design contributes to faster ball speed on centre and off-centre strikes. The sum of these advancements creates an exceptionally fast driver that offers extremely consistent spin and launch conditions across the face.
 

Seamless Thermoform Crown
Each model in the GT lineup features an ultra-lightweight crown made from a new Proprietary Matrix Polymer. The material, never used previously in golf clubhead design, afforded Titleist engineers unprecedented design solutions regarding internal weight positioning, unlocking gains across multiple categories of driver performance. The crown is wrapped to the sole using an advanced thermoforming process, resulting in a clean look with no visible seam or transition between material.  In moving to a multi-material construction, one of the top priorities from Titleist’s R&D team was to preserve the classic sound of Titleist metals. The unique acoustic properties of the Proprietary Matrix Polymer allowed Titleist engineers to fine-tune tremendous sound and feel while still maximising the weight-saving gains from GT’s new construction.

Split Mass Construction
The weight savings that resulted from GT’s Thermoform Crown gave Titleist engineers the ability to re-position discretionary weight in optimal positions within the clubhead. Mass was strategically pushed both towards the front of the club, unlocking greater speed through CG placement, and towards the rear, offering stable, high-MOI performance. CG placements across the three models vary, giving players the opportunity to find the right combination of speed, launch angle and spin for their games with three unique setups.  The discretionary mass gained from the Thermoform Crown allowed Titleist to move the centre of gravity exactly where they want it.  The mass savings were distributed, isolating it incredibly low and forward, and taking the remainder of the mass and pushing it to the back of the head.  Titleist were able to get incredible speed along with stability from that balanced mass position.
 
Improved Aerodynamics
Improvements to internal construction and weight distribution have allowed greater optimisation of aerodynamics across the three models, a breakthrough that was previously impossible to execute due to design constraints. The GT drivers feature refined profiles that help reduce drag and increase clubhead speed.
 
Enhanced Speed Ring with VFT
GT’s exceptionally fast face has two key technologies behind it. An upgraded titanium Speed Ring reinforces and stabilises the perimeter of the clubface, which produces maximum ball speed for on-centre strikes, while Variable Face Thickness (VFT) works to preserve consistently fast ball speeds on off-centre strikes, eliminating excessive distance drop-off.  The Speed Ring maximizes COR [coefficient of restitution] on the centre and as a result maximises ball speed.  VFT effectively allows us to discretely thin the face, expanding the sweet spot size and maximising speed on mishits.
 
Tour-Inspired Face Graphics
GT models feature new face graphics, which are designed to frame the ball squarely at address. This change, driven by specific Tour player prototyping and feedback, helps golfers align the golf ball with the centre of the club with more confidence.


What Titleist say about the Titleist GT Golf Driver Family

“When we release a new product, it has to outperform the previous line.  For GT, it needed to be faster than TSR. It needed to be longer and straighter, and it had to sound better, look better and feel better. GT delivers across the board without compromise.”
Josh Talge, VP of Titleist Golf Club Marketing

“The GT line represents a monumental leap forward for Titleist driver design and engineering.  The breakthroughs we made in material, construction, shaping and design weren’t possible in prior generations. All the advancements found in GT are working in concert to create the highest-performing driver we have ever made.”
Stephanie Luttrell, Director, Titleist Metalwood Product Development

“One of our first goals with GT was to make it faster than TSR.  And the only way to achieve our design goals was to break out of an all-titanium construction.  The density of this crown is approximately three times lighter than where we were in an all-titanium construction.  By wrapping the crown down to the sole, we optimise the mass distribution throughout the head, allowing us significant advantages in designing to our centre of gravity and inertia goals.”
