Where it wins
- Forgiveness85
- Looks85
- Feel84
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing under ~95 mph, need easy launch and maximum forgiveness, or fight a slice - an ultralight, high-launching, draw-friendly head that adds speed and keeps mishits in play.
You swing fast, want low spin and workability, or a penetrating flight - the GT2, GT3 or GT4 suit you better.
Pros
- The top-ranked GT driver for forgiveness - the highest MOI and deepest CG in the family for better dispersion and playable mishits
- Easy, high launch with mid spin - the highest-launching head in the GT line, ideal for slower swings
- An ultralight build (8g lighter head, 20g lighter shaft) that adds clubhead speed for moderate swing speeds
- Now more versatile - a standard-weight, 15g-rear-weight configuration extends it beyond just slow swingers
Cons
- Low workability - a high-MOI, draw-friendly head built for straightness
- High launch and mid spin - less efficient and less penetrating in wind than a low-spin head
- Built for moderate swing speeds (below ~95 mph) - faster players want the GT2 or GT3
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentThe most forgiving GT - ranked the top driver for forgiveness in slow-swing testing, with every tester reporting better dispersion and more playable mishits, and the deepest CG and highest MOI in the GT family thanks to the largest front-to-back profile. A genuinely high-stability head.
Distance
StrongEasy speed for its target - a high launch with fairly low spin and strong average ball speed, the added forgiveness feeding carry, with distance gains for slower swingers when the shaft and hosel were matched to the player. Long for its moderate-swing audience, if not a peak-distance bomber.
Workability
ModestBuilt straight - the largest front-to-back profile, highest MOI and most draw-friendly bias in the family, a straightness-first head, the deep CG favouring stability over shaping. Minimal shot-shape freedom.
Feel
ExcellentSolid and premium - a solid, satisfying strike, the quality, stable impact typical of the GT platform. A clean, premium sensation.
Sound
ExcellentMuted and refined - a controlled, muted-but-solid note from the Thermoform crown, a confident acoustic. Clean and understated.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean and premium - the clean, classic Titleist shape at address, premium GT styling. A confidence-inspiring, understated head.
