2nd Swing Golf
Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing
“I'm blown away by how easy this thing is to hit”
The reviewer is blown away by this 14.5-degree tour take on the GT1: remarkably consistent spin, workable both directions, and instant confidence as a tee-ball replacement.
+ the facts · 6 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +Remarkably consistent spin (about 200 rpm between highest and lowest)
- +Very forgiving; toe strike lost only a few carry yards and stayed on line
- +Flippable two-way weight system tunes launch and spin (forward suited this tester)
- −Larger footprint than a traditional 3-wood, which may take getting used to
For: Players who want a confidence-inspiring 3-wood or tee-ball replacement, including better players who thought the GT1 wasn't for them
Michael Newton Golf
On-course, season-long club tests
“the tightest best tightest looking fairway wood out of all the models”
A quietly released fairway wood that pairs the shallow GT1 profile tour players love with a lower CG for tour-friendly spin, and Michael calls it the best looking Titleist fairway of the lot.
+ the facts · 7 pros · 3 cons− the facts
- +Lowest profile head in the GT fairway range, sits incredibly square and looks phenomenal
- +Launched extremely easily: 253 carry at 2,800 spin on the first swing
- +Keeps GT1 forgiveness and stability while lowering spin for better players
- −Launched so quietly it was not even on the Titleist website at the time of filming
- −Low face strikes spin up noticeably and cost carry
- −Moving the 11g weight forward did not actually lower spin in testing
For: Players who struggle to launch a fairway wood off the ground but still want low spin distance
