Titleist launches new GT2 and GT3 fairway metals

Published

1 year ago

Aug 1, 2024

Titleist has today unveiled its new GT2 and GT3 fairway metals.

Both GT2 and GT3 fairway metals feature all-new constructions, beginning with their Seamless Thermoform Crown, made from Titleist’s Proprietary Matrix Polymer.

The crown is designed to maintain the classic Titleist look while the acoustic properties of the Proprietary Matrix Polymer seek to provide the classic Titleist sound and feel. Much like the GT driver line, the ultra-light crown on GT2 and GT3 fairways allows for the redistribution of discretionary mass, leading to optimized center of gravity positions in each model. The result is higher flight with similar or lower spin and fast speeds in both models.

A new L-Cup Face is also designed to improve performance on low impact shots, and refined shaping on each model gives players two distinct options to choose from.

“A line of high-performing fairway metals needs to excel in a number of different ways. For most golfers, fairway metals need to be highly versatile. They need to be fast and long off the tee, and they need to fly high and hold greens. Playability and forgiveness are hugely important as well. The changes we made to GT fairways help deliver across all these performance attributes.” – Stephanie Luttrell, Director, Titleist Metalwood Product Development

Seamless Thermoform Crown

The ultra-lightweight Seamless Thermoform Crown on GT2 and GT3 fairways is made of the same new Proprietary Matrix Polymer found in GT drivers. The density of the Proprietary Matrix Polymer is about five times lighter than steel, giving Titleist engineers significant weight savings in comparison to prior generation fairway crowns, while maintaining Titleist’s classic sound and feel.

The crown is also completely seamless, offering a player-preferred look at address without compromising any of the performance gains from GT’s multi-material construction. To accommodate varying center of gravity targets between the two models, GT2’s crown uses more Proprietary Matrix Polymer than does the GT3.

Low CG

The discretionary mass gained from GT fairways’ Seamless Thermoform Crown allowed Titleist engineers to reposition the center of gravity in each model in a bid to achieve optimal performance. GT2’s CG is pushed lower and closer to the face, in design to produce higher launch and lower spin than its TSR2 predecessor. GT3’s CG is moved deeper in a bid to allow for higher launch while keeping spin in a low but playable window.

Forged L-Cup Face

The clubface on GT fairways is specifically designed to improve performance on strikes low on the face. A new insert wraps around the bottom of the club in design to preserve ball speed, eliminate excessive spin and enhance sound and feel.

Tour-Inspired Shaping

Both GT2 and GT3 fairways feature refinements to their shaping. Titleist engineers flattened the sole curvature from heel to toe on both models, which gives the head the appearance of sitting lower. Impacts on the toe and heel side also hit higher on the face now, in design for added forgiveness.

Based on Tour feedback, the GT3 face is now taller, which differentiates the two models, helping accommodate a wider range of player preference.

GT2 Fairway

The GT2 fairway is designed to deliver high flight, low spin and exceptional forgiveness. The model comes in five different lofts, allowing players to dial in their distance gapping at the top end of their bag. GT2 has an inviting profile with a shallow face, ideal for players who have a more sweeping delivery with their fairway metals.

Specs:

High launch, low spin

Lofts: 13.5, 15.0, 16.5, 18.0, 21.0 (RH/LH)

Standard Lengths: 43”, 43”, 43”, 42”, 41.5”

Featured Grip: Titleist Universal 360 Grip

SureFit Hosel: Compatible with TSR, TSi, TS

GT3 Fairway

The GT3 fairway offers controlled flight, fast ball speed and maximum adjustability. Each of the three GT3 loft configurations features a refined SureFit Adjustable CG Track System, which allows fitters to move a sliding weight track into one of five positions: H2 (Heel), H1, N (Neutral), T1 (Toe), T2. A taller face helps differentiate GT3 from GT2, a profile preferred by many players who like to hit down on the ball with their fairway metal and prefer the look of a deeper face.

Specs:

Mid/high launch, low spin

Lofts: 15.0, 16.5, 18.0 (RH/LH)

Standard Lengths: 43”, 43”, 42”

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.

Best driver of 2025: The top 5

5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%

Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”

You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.

4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%

Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%

Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”

@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%

Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”

@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%

Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”

@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
