TITLEIST GT1 Tour Fairway – The “Amateur” club the tour pros are playing.

The Titleist GT1 range of clubs was originally designed for moderate swing speed players looking for high launch and forgiveness. However, the trajectory and stability of GT1 Tour Fairway Woods have caught the eye of Tour pros like Matt Fitzpatrick with reports that now 30% of all Titleist woods on tour are now GT1.

What will our team of Scott Fraser, James Wilson and Aaron Ellis make of them?

SGGT is known for its unique, detailed 4, 6, 8, PW iron fittings at our flagship Edinburgh and Chesterfield studios. Where as many fitters use only 7 iron to fit an iron set, SGGT goes through the bag to find you the best fit for your game.

Recently, a customer said he thought SGGT offered the “World’s Best Iron Fitting” at our flagship Edinburgh and Chesterfield studios. He challenged us to find anywhere else in the world that offered all this in iron fittings:

• Fitting across set 4, 6, 8 irons & PW. Not just a 7 iron.
• Completely brand independent so you’re guaranteed unbiased advice
• Largest heads/shaft selection in Europe. We have the biggest matrix.
• Premium balls – ProV1s etc instead of range balls.
• Your choice of grip – We’ll put your preferred grip on the clubs you’re testing.
• An opportunity to test off mats & grass, indoor & outdoor during the fitting. It’s the only way to see the true ball flight and test turf interaction. Plus you still get the benefits of our Trackman launch monitors.

We haven’t found anywhere else yet. So, is SGGT the “World’s Best Iron Fitting?”. We’d be genuinely curious to know so please do get in touch.

Please Note: There are regional service variations offered at our Netherlands studios. Please contact them for details.

Interesting topic of conversation today. Titless GT1 Tour Fairywoods. One of the most played fairywoods on tour, but initially designed for the higher handicapper with the slower swing speeds. Welcome back to SGT. Today, myself, James, and Aaron are going to have a look at the new GT1 Tour fairy woods and how it compares to the range of titless woods that are already on offer. Aaron, we’ve given you already. Initially, how does it look behind the ball? Looks nice. I mean, they’ve kept that classic tightless looking style. Still got the gloss head, but the big difference is you can tell it’s it’s a lot flatter to the ground. Okay. a lot shallower of a profile and kind of putting it behind the ball instinctually you feel like that’s going to go in the air. James, why is it so popular on tour? Right. Why is why has this product become popular on tour? Guys want to hit the ball higher. So definitely on tour, if you can hit the ball higher, you can get the ball to land a whole lot steeper. So it’s really useful coming into a green. So if you’ve got a kind of longer par five that all these guys are playing on on tour and you you have 3wood as your second shot, you want to be able to give yourself a chance to get that ball to stick. So GT1 Tour, it launches lovely and high, but then because it’s a nice high peak height, it can land really steep. So it’s that tool to get into a green and get to stop pretty quickly, but from distance and the shallow face, how does it look, Aaron? Yeah, nice. Can we compare it to fairwood from other brands potentially? H I’d put Callaway Elite in the mix. I’d put Ping G440 Max in the mix. So other fairs are doing really well on tour. Yeah, this is almost Titan’s Titless offering of that. It’s Titless version of that. It’s their spin on on that product. Right. What we’ll do half a dozen with it. We’ll see how it feels. I think what we’ll do is we’ll try GT2 and GT3. Just half a dozen with each just to see how it compares more than anything. Sounded nice. That’s solid. Certainly goes up. I’ve missed it a little bit left, but the strike was good. Okay, so one of the things that’s a we bit different with GT1, there’s a weight at the back and there’s a weight at the front. So configuration right now, the heavier weight is in the back of the head, lightweights in the front. So if you wanted to take some spin off and maybe flatten that flight down a little bit, you could move the heavy weight further forward. And for the thing that gets that ball kind of up in the sky, which is this setting, heavier weight further back and send it to the moon. Yeah, that way we just Sorry, James. Is the heavy weight towards the back? Heavy weights in the back of the head. Yes. Interesting to see the flip it. Yeah, definitely. Give us three or four cuz that I pulled that and it’s gone mega high which is a combination don’t always see. Yeah. Sounded good again. P. It’s a nice strike again. Similar. Really similar. Feel like it picks up quite nicely that shallow face. Yeah, really easily. It’s maybe one of these things if you play like a parkland golf course, there’s maybe not that much wind and you can you can send that ball up in the sky, that’s then really quite a good option. It’s it’s interesting for the guys that are going to use this on tour. If they’re using this off a T, it’s going to be a small TE, but it’s not going to run a long way, which they’re hitting this far enough anyway. They want it close to their carry. They want that retention. They don’t really need it running onto if these guys are laying up to something. They don’t want it to then run into it. They want it to spot before the hazard. Good again. Right, James, let’s flip these weights around. So, that was a nice strike. I felt like I had to hold it off a little bit. Yeah. H and it just went up. Okay. Should we cheat a we bit and take the loft in a we nudge as well and we do this. Okay, we’ve put the heavier weight further forward in the head. Let’s see what See what that does. Let’s see what it does. Stop mid sense there for some reason. Certainly felt a bit more solid. I’ve blocked it a touch, but a little bit more lively. Yeah. So, spin a little bit more would be that right shot done. Okay. Mhm. That was lovely. Wind’s got it a wee bit, but normalized. I would imagine that’s going to be fine. The wind, James. The wind. It’s a strong breeze out there, you know. How’s it feel now? Those those weights have moved. More solid. More solid. More solid. Yeah. Sounded good. Yep. It’s a bit more like it. All right. Not a solid kind of shape I’m used to seeing. But seeing this before, see previous videos that we’ve made and you’ve tried switching weights around in product. It doesn’t always make a massive difference for you in terms of spin rates. Whereas for myself, every time I do it, the difference seems to be quite significant. Yeah. Any idea why? Some golfers attack angle is just a bit different. So, I’d put it down to attack. If some if somebody’s like really pretty neutral, it’s maybe not going to affect it that much, but like yourself, if you’re a little bit steeper, it’s maybe going to make more of a difference. It’s all It’s always It’s always one of these things. I think we all we all know in fitting there’s no hard and fast absolute answers. You just have to try just have to test things and see. At some point, there’s going to be a diminishing return with what CG location does. Dynamic Loft is going to take over. Yeah. Um Yeah. I’d put it down to attack angle for me. It’s more of a like that that feels more solid. Yeah. Don’t dress them. All right. Do you want one more with us? Yeah. One more. Good. Right. James, go show us the GT3. The head that we typically associate with tour. It’s a smaller head. We’d think on paper that would be the better player’s head. 160 ball speed. I think that’s a good option as a club though. The amount of guys that we get in a better that are better golfers that want a fairway wood. How many times you doing fairway wood? Do you need the apex to go higher? That’s even so much higher that you fit a guy that swings a 3wood at north 115 mph, but he moans he doesn’t want a 3wood to go 290 yards. Yeah. Like that’s maybe an offering that you can put in that it maybe does kick up and spin and do that, but it goes the distance he needs it to go. Yeah. is how often does your if you hit your driver that distance, do you need a 3wood to go 290 or 300 yards? So, same shaft and things, James. Same shaft, same setting. Okay, lovely. So, this is GT3. Okay. How does that look behind the ball, Aaron? Noticeably smaller. You prefer that? Sits a little bit higher. I prefer it that way. Okay. I could be sold either way on the the depth. Okay. What would you expect to see, James? Little bit flatter. We bit flatter ball flight this one. Sounded really nice. Yeah. Yeah, that felt more solid again. Okay. For me anyway. Similar in terms of spin to be fair. Yeah. Not like one spun anymore or any less than the other. That’s interesting. That was nice. Yeah. wee bit towy, but that was nice flight. Nice strike. Again, I think it just depends. Every golfer is unique in what they’re looking for. Like personally, I prefer that as a flight. It looks a bit flatter. It looks like it’s going to for you and I for a free nine times tennis cuz we’re hitting it into a wind or whatnot. It’s how do we get it to look like that? Whereas a I don’t think as an amateur golfer, you’re longer than us certainly, but it’s how often do you need a three-wood to go high and soft? Yeah. especially in this country. Yeah. If I’m playing most of my golf in kind of Florida where you want that ball landing, you could you want to get that ball up in the sky. Yeah. I think even even in Scotland or like in the in UK like where like where we are, if you play in land a little bit and there isn’t really any wind, you can afford to get that golf ball up in the air. But if you maybe kind of play a little bit more coastal, um, you might want to get that ball slightly down the way a little bit, but it’ll always be golf course depending, won’t it? Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Wouldn’t said you quite got that with your iron, but it’s still going forward. It was It wasn’t bad bad. Yep. That’s the toy one. That was really out the toe to be fair. Certainly notice more curve on the smaller head. Yeah, I feel like the GT1 was more stable and it just went to fly forward or kind of fly square. This thing in terms of trajectories is flatter in a stronger flight. Yeah. So GT3 definitely spins less. It kind of does what it says in the 10, but a little bit more curvature to it. Yeah. So, I mean, if that GT1 was like a 13 and a half head or a 13 head, it’s going to bring that flight down, which defeats the purpose of the product, but yeah, let’s have like another look around. Let’s go into a two product and see what a what a GT2 is going to do for you. Yeah, I think that kind of finishes the lineup. I think as advertised, GT1 certainly even in the tour feels a little bit more solid. Yeah. But spin’s definitely noticeably higher than GT3. Yeah. And I think the good thing of it is it’s what do you want the flight to look like? And I think kind of if we go back to if we’re doing a fairway wood fitting, what does well for us would be a Callaway Elite or Ping, something that is going to get that ball up and going? Tightless version of that. Um for a lot of people is an effective golf club. Yeah. Right, GT2. Let’s finish the lineup. Let’s see what it looks like. So, on paper, this is going to spin somewhere between these two. Yeah. As we’re robot up to the challenge, James, we’ll soon see. Nice. Yeah, I like that. How does that look behind the ball? Yeah, between. It’s probably closer to the three. Okay. I don’t know if that’s just because I’ve just had the three or if that’s accurate or not, but yeah, it’s just a blend of the two of them. So, kind of face depth with like the two and the three is a little bit deeper. Yeah. Um there’s not that much difference from the top line. I would say the two’s maybe a little bit more elongated front to back, but there’s not big big differences. Yeah. This maybe doesn’t hug the ground the same sort of way that that GT1 Tour does. I mean, from a Luke standpoint, this is probably the one I like the look of most. And that ball flight was good. So, so I think almost like everything, it’s not that there’s one that’s right then one that’s wrong. It’s what one’s right and wrong for you. Yeah. And I think it just depends what you’re looking from a ball flight standpoint. And it’s who’s going to play what, James? Who is who’s going to play this GT1 Tour from an amateur standpoint? Who’s going to come into the fitting bait and want to play that? I think I think golfers who maybe need a little bit more help getting that ball up in the air. I don’t think it’s necessarily speed dependent, but if you maybe have that kind of midspeed player, I’m not the kind of the lower swing speed player, but that mid to high SP high swing speed player, you’ve then got plenty kind of up in the air, shallow ahead, it’s going to be easier to get that strike up the face, just a little bit easier. And then for that for that golfer who maybe doesn’t have the same sort of club head speed that’s then when GT1 and this is what it’s designed to do in the first place GT1 being that like slightly lighter weight product that’s really really easy to get the ball up in the air for the guy who doesn’t have the speed. That’s when GT1 comes good. So GT1 Tour almost that guy that wants to play 3-wood but doesn’t spin it enough so ends up in a four or fivewood could get away with playing 3-wood loft. Yeah, definitely. But it would then give him the flight to get the ball up in the launch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Strikes nice. Just a wee bit pulley. Just a bit more shape to that one. I think that GT1 Tour really kind of completes that tightless lineup. The all like the two the two and the three particular the two is going to be the kind of bread and butter one. Yeah. The three offers something a little bit more. And if you’re if you’re a one guy, the two is maybe too far away. and the one GT1 Tour I think that bridges that gap really quite nicely. So suppose James to summarize I think it’s a great lineup. There’s something for everyone. There’s definitely something for everyone. Yeah. Three gives us the really low spin. Mhm. Two sits in the middle and GT1 Tour definitely gives it higher spin. So you could play at the same all the three heads at the same speed and it’s picking the window you want to hit it in. Yeah. Not necessarily a a low swing speed player. That is the normal GT1. Yeah. Still a higher speeds, but that kind of tight this looks. I know. Well, thank you very much for hitting, Aaron. Pleasure.
