Why We Like It
- Designed to provide maximum forgiveness to inconsistent players with average to above-average swing speeds.
- New shape is sleeker than last year’s TSR2.
- Improved stability on off-center hits (an increase of 10 percent compared to the TSR2) provides meaningful distance gains.
- Adjustable heel and toe weights in the sole control draw or fade trajectories and dial in the best energy transfer for where players tend to contact the face.
- A flatter leading edge increases the hittable area low on the face where most impacts occur.
- Higher launching with higher forgiveness on heel and toe mis-hits compared to the GT3.
- Relief pockets in the rear heel and toe of the sole improve turf interaction for cleaner contact.
- Top 5 in Performance, middle-handicaps
- 18, 21, 24 degrees (with a 16-way adjustable hosel)

Head is a little big for my liking. I found the ball flight to be a bit too high and spinny, too. It doesn't penetrate through the wind. Left/right dispersion is minimal and a plus.

Molly

Way more forgiving than it looks. Toe shots did not overspin and while some felt like they might go sideways, they didn't. Big jump in ball speeds and distance. Club feels very balanced and smooth when you're swinging it.

Scott

More traditional fairway wood-like shape. Gave me more confidence that it would work well with my sweeping swing. Sound was crisp and feel was buttery through my hands. Rising ball flight. Off-center hits had great carry and distance to them, and stayed straight.

Ryan

The reflective nature of the crown threw me off at address. I wish that could be turned down a bit. But I soon forgot about that when I watched the ball climb high and land very soft. Seamless interaction with the turf; there would be no issues hitting this out of the rough. Distance was there when I wanted it.

Matt

Delightful distance. I found it easy to get the club through the ball and the turf. Ball flight achieved a nice apex and dropped out of the sky. Everything about this club is quality. Looks good, feels good, plays good.

Sean

The trajectory is just awesome. Not too high and workable. Once I was fitted into the right shaft, the ball flew off the face. This is like a filet mignon with butter sauce. Very pleasing and easy to hit.

Peter
57, Handicap 7

Nice, flush feeling off the face with matching mid-to-high trajectory. Ball gets through the wind with ease. I like the adjustability from side to side. You can hit a little bit of a cut but it stays relatively straight. Easy to control with adjustable settings. Consistently high ball speed and very good distance.

Alex

Felt like I lost too many balls to the right with this club. I don't generally hit a draw, but I could with this club. I definitely picked up a bit of distance, too. Effortlessly long off the face, almost 15 yards longer.

BK
41, Handicap 1

Very simple design. Clean, nothing awkward. Good depth to the clubface. I wasn't too worried about using it off the tee or in the rough. The neutral face is great if you're concerned about hooking it. A real high launcher once you get the setup right. Adjustability is huge.

John

This club is all business, nothing fancy. It definitely helped in terms of forgiveness. The few shots I hit offline, you could almost see the correction at work, like the ball was fighting where the club was trying to send it. It made me feel like a better golfer.

When I think of GTs, I think about Porsche. I think about speed, money, elegance, class. This has all of them. Incredible ball speed, high launch, super tight dispersion. Just money.

Ryan

A great looking club that really inspires confidence. The ball flight was higher than my standard hybrid. Carry distance was slightly down, and total distance was closer to my iron numbers. I felt like this club could hold a green with ease.

Gary
37, Handicap 13
10+ years testing
The adjustability options helped take this club from good to great. Perfect medium-high trajectory to hold greens. The proportions were bigger without being bulky to swing. Impact had the feel of a line drive up the middle off a wooden baseball bat. Just the right amount of reverb.

Jamie
51, Handicap 5

Every swing produced a high, straight, soaring ball. This is the exact club I want to hit into the green, especially on long approach shots. The sharp bottom edge had no problems entering and exiting the turf.

Wayne

I preferred the GT2 to the GT1. It was easier to get airborne. The ball really jumped off the clubface with all types of swing speeds. Even mis-hits produced good shots. I can see myself playing this from the rough or fairway without sacrificing too much distance.

Wei
54, Handicap 13

Unsurprisingly easy to hit straight. The surprise was that I had a tough time working the ball. Mid-high, stinger trajectory. There's no dramatic rise or plummeting out of the sky with this one.

This wood-like hybrid is Titleist’s most forgiving, targeting players looking for a higher launch.
It has the deepest center of gravity in the GT hybrid lineup to improve stability on off-center shots and increase the launch angle.
Movable weights in the front of the sole and rear perimeter allow players to tweak launch (heavier weight in rear) or lower spin (heavier weight up front).

More compact than the GT2 and last year's TSR3, the GT3 offers iron-like control for players looking for more ball speed than their lower-lofted irons.
Because of a wider face, this year’s model boasts a 15 percent improvement in stability on off-center hits for more consistent carry yardages.

With a focus on forgiveness, this model is the highest launching of Cobra’s hybrids and features a larger head size than the King Tec.
A bridge-like structure inside the front of the head attaches to internal heel and toe weight pads to push the center of gravity low and forward for better energy transfer.
That structure also yields extra stability on off-center hits.

The face is 10 percent thinner than previous models and saves mass that’s distributed internally along the perimeter for better stability on mis-hits.
