2nd Swing Golf
Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing
The GTS4 grows to a confidence-inspiring 460cc TSi3-like shape and posted great numbers when struck well, but its misses gave this player more trouble than the GTS3.
+ the facts · 3 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Now 460cc in a TSi3 shape, much larger and more confidence-inspiring than the old GT4
- +Great numbers on centered strikes, 285 carry with high flight
- +Track weight adds fitting flexibility
- −Misses were less forgiving than the GTS3 back-weighted
- −Low-spin dives when flight got moving left
For: Low-spin players who liked the compact GT4 but want a bigger, easier-looking head

Mid-handicap everyman reviews
“It's unbelievable. That's everything that I want.”
Loved the sound and flight at first strike, but at around 1,800 spin it's simply too low-spinning for his game and was ruled out early in the fitting.
+ the facts · 2 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +First impressions very good: great sound and exactly the flight he wanted on the opening hit
- +Brings back the tour-preferred TSi3-style shape
- −Very low spin (around 1,800 rpm) drags his flight down too quickly
- −Chasing launch with it opened up his dispersion
For: High-spin players who need serious spin reduction, not mid-handicappers like him

Coach, famously hard to impress
The low-spin, tour-inspired head of the range; looks fatter and deeper, sounds a fraction more thuddy, and was not individually data-tested in this video.
+ the facts · 3 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Lower spinning model with the track-weight dual weight system (8g front, 5g back)
- +Same speed-sync face as the GTS2 and GTS3
- +Solid sound and classic Titleist looks
- −Tour-inspired shape is not as aerodynamic as the GTS2 and GTS3
- −Premium Titleist pricing
For: Golfers producing their own speed who want to reduce spin
“The big attraction maybe with the Titleist is just the looks”
The best-looking of the three and now a full 460cc, it produced the longest carry in the test thanks to slightly higher launch.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +Longest carry distance of the three, around 280-281
- +Great clean shaping and the looks he liked best
- +Now a full 460cc head, larger than previous sub-440cc low-spin Titleists
- −Fraction slower club head speed than the other two in this test
For: Players drawn to clean traditional looks who want low spin without a tiny head

“built for those players that need spin reduction to drive their distance”
The low-spin end of the family, now on a bigger 460cc classic-shaped chassis that Titleist claims is exceptionally forgiving versus the prior GT4 while still built for spin reduction.
+ the facts · 3 pros− the facts
- +Now a full 460cc head with a classic Titleist shape, claimed far more forgiving than the prior low-spin four
- +Track plus fore-aft CG adjustability
- +Built for speed and low spin
For: Players who cut the ball, hit down or across it, and need spin reduction for distance

Data-driven independent testing
“I like to now refer to GTS4 as the forgiving four”
The most changed head in the line: a larger, TSi3-inspired 'forgiving four' that keeps GT4-level low spin but claims GT3-level forgiveness, and both hosts were fit into back-weighted GTS4s at TPI the day of filming.
+ the facts · 3 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +Larger footprint than the 430cc GT4 with claimed GT3-level forgiveness at GT4-level spin
- +Track system plus back-CG setting lets you add loft without adding spin
- +Both hosts personally ended up fit into it, and tour adoption is already up (four in play at the Zurich Classic)
- −Loses the old four's extreme four-position aft-CG range in favor of finer spin tuning
For: Low-spin players who found previous 4 models too small or punishing
