The takeaway

Last year's head still beating the field.

They agree

  • +still the fastest thing off the face
  • +remarkably consistent smash and spin
  • +price drop makes it a real value

Buy it ifyou swing fast, need spin and launch knocked down, and like a deal

Skip it ifyou struggle to launch the ball or need forgiveness first

2nd Swing Golf

Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing

Loved it

This thing is so fast off the face.

Fitters-choice winner in the low-spin category: still the fastest thing off the face and remarkably consistent despite being a prior-year release.

+ the facts · 4 pros
  • +Voted low-spin winner even against 2026 releases, still not being beaten on ball speed
  • +Extremely consistent in testing: 1.49 smash on all three swings, tiny spin deviation
  • +Front CG weight track lets fitters shift toe/heel weight to knock spin down

For: Higher swing-speed players trying to bring down spin and launch

UK magazine, season-long testing

definitely I would say cross theboard improvements with the GT3

The GT3 won the fitting outright over his beloved TSR3 with cross-the-board gains in speed, distance, dispersion and forgiveness.

+ the facts · 5 pros · 2 cons
  • +Carry jumped from 255 to 267 yards, within 3 yards of his optimal
  • +Spin dropped nearly 1,000 rpm and ball speed rose to 158 mph with some shots touching 160
  • +Tighter dispersion with smaller misses and better distance consistency, made his bad ones look better
  • Slightly duller, thuddier sound and firmer feel than the TSR3
  • Gains may be partly accentuated by a grip issue with his old driver, so not everyone will see the same jump

For: TSR players and fitting candidates chasing lower spin and tighter dispersion without giving up the classic Titleist look

Loved it

it's just a bit good that driver

The model he was fitted for and is putting in the bag, delivering the best carry and total of the range for him with 7-iron-tight dispersion, the only real downside being the £579 price.

+ the facts · 7 pros · 2 cons
  • +Best carry and total of the three for him, 218 carry and 241 total
  • +Ball speeds notably higher than expected, 136 mph average
  • +Adjustable weight track to place forgiveness where you strike it
  • Very expensive at £579 RRP
  • Bolder face may put off players used to a cleaner TSR-style face

For: Golfers who know their strike pattern and want a bit of everything with adjustability

Peter Finch Golf

Long-term on-course testing

Loved it

You hit your driver 297 and the driver we fit you into you hit 338.

The head he was fitted into and the standout of the whole day, adding roughly 40 yards over his old driver while staying forgiving on his heel miss.

+ the facts · 7 pros · 2 cons
  • +Blistered a 181 ball speed at 121.9 mph club speed with 13 degree launch and 2500 spin
  • +307 carry and 331 total on a strike he described as shocking
  • +Heel CG setting protects his heel miss and lets him hit his preferred draw
  • Left-right dispersion with the driver was more inconsistent than with his long irons before the shaft change
  • Needed a heavier, tip-stiffened shaft and a 2g weight to settle it down

For: Faster swingers who have been living in high spin and want to convert speed into distance without a big miss.

Club Champion (TXG)

Tour-level fitting studio

Loved it

the dispersion is is a joke

The one he was fit into: front weight track and forward CG turn his old TSR3 misses into playable numbers with a dispersion he calls a joke.

+ the facts · 5 pros · 1 cons
  • +Weight track moved from back to front with five neutral/toe/heel ports
  • +Forward, lower CG delivers higher launch with less spin
  • +Spin now roughly 2100 on good strikes and 2700 on misses versus 2700/3400 with TSR3
  • Still takes time to fully dial in the launch window

For: Better players chasing high launch, low spin who like a shaped, adjustable head.

Mark Crossfield

Coach, famously hard to impress

Liked it

Now shaped so close to the GT2 that he says you can dial the two into being exactly the same club, with the front weight offering a fraction more CG-to-sweet-spot fine tuning.

+ the facts · 3 pros · 2 cons
  • +Front weight track aligns center of gravity with your strike for 1-2 mph more ball speed
  • +Shaping and looks have converged with the GT2
  • +Top-end ball speed and carry numbers in his testing
  • Little reason to pick it over the GT2 unless you want the extra dialing in
  • Expensive premium pricing

For: Players who want a personalized, dialed-in setup rather than off-the-rack forgiveness
