Best for

You're a low-HCP (0-10) at 100-125mph who wants the most adjustable tour-spec fairway in the 2024 GT line — comfortable with a compact deep-face pear-shape and willing to use the 5-position CG track for fitting precision.

Avoid if

You want max forgiveness (the GT2 sibling is bigger / easier), you have slower swing speeds (sub-95mph — the GT1 or GT2 are better), or you want current-generation tech (the upcoming GTS3 2026 is the direct successor).

Pros

  • A true shot-maker's club — low-spin performance, workability, premium adjustability
  • Most-adjustable head in the 2024 GT line — 5-position CG track plus 3g-18g weight options
  • Reviewer testing: ~2mph ball speed gain to 160mph total — about 4 extra yards from the predecessor
  • Compact deep-face pear-shape — really good-looking club with a smaller head

Cons

  • Not the most forgiving fairway wood — the compact deep-face tour profile intentionally trades MOI for control
  • Not overly forgiving on off-center misses — the standard sibling is more forgiving
  • Now 1 year old (2024 release) — superseded by the upcoming GTS3 (2026) within the brand's own lineup
  • $400 MSRP — premium pricing typical of the brand's tour-spec tier

By dimension

80

Forgiveness

Reviewer testing: it's not the most forgiving fairway wood, but for players who value precision and control, it delivers exceptional consistency. Industry awards coverage: it is not overly forgiving on off-center misses. Compact, deep-faced tour profile intentionally trades MOI for control vs the standard sibling. Seamless Thermoform Carbon Crown + Adjustable CG Track helps recapture some forgiveness via custom weighting. Above-average tour-spec forgiveness — explicit reviewer note that it's not the family's most forgiving by design.

84

Distance

Reviewer testing: a decent jump in ball speed of around 2mph (160mph total) was observed, equating to around four extra yards. Manufacturer: controlled flight, fast ball speed and maximum adjustability. Adjustable CG Track moved closer to face for more concentrated CG placement and ultimately more control and ball speed. Above-average tour-spec distance — measurable speed gain via the carbon-crown weight savings and forward CG placement.

86

Workability

Reviewer testing: the head is a true shot-maker's club offering low-spin performance, workability, and premium adjustability. Manufacturer: much more adjustability than the standard sibling with a new weight-track system on the sole that has been brought closer to the face — 5-position track (H2, H1, N, T1, T2). Reviewer testing: produced a lower, more penetrating flight compared to the GT1 and GT2 — ideal for golfers who prefer a fairway wood off the tee or need a reliable shot shape for control into greens. The head feels more neutral than the standard sibling. Top-tier 2024 tour-spec workability — designed explicitly as a shot-maker's club.

84

Feel

Reviewer testing: the feel is nice and firm without being hard, and the feeling of impact is solid more than anything else, with a feel that is more traditional than technological. Reviewer testing: as understated as the prior-generation sibling, but the head has little to no metallic characteristic to the sound — it's more thud than tink. Premium Seamless Thermoform Carbon Crown (PMP) adds vibration dampening. Above-average tour-spec feel — classic firm/solid impact signature.

82

Sound

Reviewer testing: the head has little to no metallic characteristic to the sound — it's more thud than tink. A louder shot sound at impact but more in a powerful way. Reviewer testing: just as understated as the prior-generation sibling. Above-average tour-spec acoustic — refined thud-not-tink character that classic-feel players love.

84

Looks at address

Reviewer testing: a compact, deep-faced design that appeals to players who prefer a strong, piercing ball flight. A pear-shaped, tour-influenced design that will appeal to a large number of golfers. Industry awards coverage: really good-looking club with a smaller head. Above-average tour-spec address profile — compact pear-shape with tour-clean carbon-crown finish.
