Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing
“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

Mid-handicap everyman reviews
“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
“That does feel fantastic.”
The compact, deeper-faced sibling rewards a descending strike with a penetrating flight, and Michael thinks it sounds and feels the better of the two.
+ the facts · 6 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +Compact squat head that sits incredibly square behind the ball
- +Deeper face and even lower, deeper CG suit a downward angle of attack
- +Came out like a rocket off a descending blow, felt really good
- −No 13.5-degree option, the lineup starts at 15 degrees
For: Better players who hit down on their fairway wood and want a smaller head with lower spin
