“that's money”
In an on-camera TPI fitting the GTS3 fairway at 18 degrees, shortened to standard length with heel weighting, dialed in a consistent 230-240 yard three-iron-replacement flight the player loved.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +New silver face shows more loft, which the fitting data links to players covering the ball better
- +Two-position sole weight lets the fitter tune heel or toe bias
- +Shorter build brought ball flight down and tightened strike, 238-242 carry with controlled window
- −At longer lengths the flight ballooned high and spinny before the build was shortened
For: Faster players who need a flightable 230-250 yard club and don't need help getting the ball up

“I feel like it's a bit of a game changer. I know we say that a lot, but I mean it”
A fitted GTS3 7-wood has this PGA pro calling it a genuine game changer and a long-iron replacement, throwing darts from 220 yards off the fairway, escaping thick rough where a 4-iron would fail, and doubling as a versatile 220-250 yard tee club.
+ the facts · 5 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +Stuck multiple shots flag-high from 220 yards over trouble, with stopping power on the green
- +Far easier than a 4 or 5 iron from the same range, and playable from thick rough (171-213 yards out of it)
- +Versatile off the tee: mid, low and full-out flights, up to 250 yards when hit hard
- −By no means a cheap club, especially with the upgraded Graphite Design Tour AD shaft
For: Golfers who struggle with long irons or long par 3s and want an easy, high-flighted 200-220 yard club

“We've taken everything you love about GT3 and lifted it up”
Framed as an elevated GT3 (the most played driver on the global tours): faster, higher inertia, keeps the CG track and adds a new back weight for a 'tour high spin' stability setting.
+ the facts · 3 pros− the facts
- +Retains the track system to align CG with impact location for speed and dispersion control
- +New back weight alters spin, trajectory and stability without changing looks
- +Claimed faster and more speed/launch/spin stable than GT3
For: Players who need speed, launch and spin dialed in with precision CG fitting
Tested mid-fitting with a slightly duller sound; launched lower with a bit more spin and came up shorter than the GTS2 for him at 263 carry.
+ the facts · 2 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +New aerodynamic shape with raised tail
- +Now has both front and back weights where GT3 only had a front weight, so it can be made more stable than before
- −Lower launch with slightly higher spin for him, carrying only 263
- −Slightly duller sound than the GTS4 to his ear
For: The all-round combination model for players wanting speed with control
