Titleist has unveiled its brand-new GT1, GT2 and GT3 hybrids, which have all been engineered to offer improved stability and forgiveness along with exciting flat-weight adjustability, meaning that both fitters and golfers will benefit from greater control over centre of gravity (CG) placement to optimise ball flight and launch conditions.

All three models, each uniquely designed for a different player profile, offer higher inertia setups than the prior generation along with refined shapes to improve playability.

The new GT1 hybrid is the highest-launching model in the lineup, featuring a lightweight, high-MOI configuration and new forward-aft weight settings to control launch conditions. New GT2 hybrids feature a refined, playable shape and the highest total MOI across the lineup, making them an exceptionally forgiving and consistent long-iron replacement. The new GT3 model has a more compact, iron-like profile, offering workability with increased forgiveness. Both GT2 and GT3 hybrids feature all-new heel-toe CG adjustability to optimise speed, launch and shot shape.

GT1, GT2 and GT3 hybrids will be available for pre-sale on February 4th and will be available in UK and Ireland golf shops beginning February 21st.

High-MOI Designs

New Titleist Hybrids

"When we set out to improve our hybrid lineup, one of the first things we looked at in terms of our design goals was stability," said Tom Bennett, Principal Product Manager, Titleist Metalwood R&D. "Hybrid forgiveness is particularly important because for most players, these are scoring clubs. Eliminating excessive distance drop-off is a huge benefit not just off the tee, but maybe even more so in approaching the green."

Greater stability was unlocked through higher-MOI designs across the board. GT1 hybrids offer dual CG positions with new forward-aft weight adjustability, and the models feature increased MOI by 5 percent compared to TSR1 hybrids with the heavier, 11-gram weight in its stock, aft position. The heavy weight can be flipped to the front to lower launch and spin, but it remains an ultra-high MOI setup with similar inertia properties to TSR1. GT2 hybrids, which feature the highest total MOI in the lineup, have a 10 percent MOI increase compared to TSR2, while GT3 hybrids have a 15 percent increase from TSR3, despite being 6 percent smaller in size. The result is the most stable and forgiving hybrid lineup Titleist has ever created.

New CG Adjustability

"The next question we asked ourselves in the design process was, ‘how do we really optimise performance for the player?’" said Bennett. "We wanted golfers to unlock the best possible performance out of these models through the fitting process. With the forward-aft adjustable weights on GT1 and the heel-toe adjustable weights on GT2 and GT3, we’ve added a considerable amount of customisation to each model, which will go a long way in dialling in launch conditions and ball flight."

CG position in the stock setup for all three models is controlled by the position of an 11-gram flat weight and a 5-gram flat weight. In GT1, the 11-gram weight comes stock in the aft position, with the 5-gram weight in the forward position. When the weights are flipped, golfers can unlock a lower-launching, lower-spinning GT1 hybrid setup.

GT2 and GT3 hybrids offer a heel-toe weighting system, with the neutral stock setup positioning the 11-gram weight in the heel and the 5-gram weight on the toe. Flipping the weights to position the heavy weight in the toe and the lighter weight in the heel allows for a more fade-biased setup and aligns the CG with an impact location slightly on the toe side of face centre, where many players tend to impact the ball. Aligning the CG with a player’s typical impact location in the fitting process can optimise performance by unlocking significant ball speed gains, as well as higher launch, lower spin and straighter ball flight.

In addition to the 11-gram and 5-gram flat weights that come standard, fitters are equipped with 3-gram, 7-gram, 9-gram and 13-gram weights for even more control over the CG setting. There are six different weight combinations in total at the standard headweight, ranging from a 13-gram and 3-gram setup for the most significant CG shift to a 9-gram and 7-gram setup for the most minimal shift.

Total headweight can be customised from -6 grams to +6 grams, also in 2-gram increments.

Refined Shaping

Each of the three new GT hybrid models feature refinements to their shape to improve performance. GT1 has a longer face from heel to toe than its predecessor, helping retain speed on off-centre strikes and adding forgiveness. Inspired by feedback from tour players, GT2 has a sleeker profile than TSR2, and it features a flatter leader edge that sits flush to the turf, similar to GT fairways. GT3’s profile has a smaller footprint than that of TSR3, and like GT2, has a flatter leading edge, which helps playability off the turf and improves performance on low-impact strikes.

GT1 HYBRID

The highest-launching model in the lineup, GT1 offers tremendous forgiveness and playability for players looking for higher flight and mid-spin performance. Its lightweight configuration is designed to benefit the moderate swing speed player, and it is available in a standard build through custom order. The new forward-aft flat-weight adjustability gives fitters and golfers more control over launch and spin, and GT1 features a confidence-inspiring profile at address.

GT1 hybrids also feature a .335" tip section to accommodate a fairway shaft. The fairway shafts play softer, and their balance point is higher than that of a hybrid shaft, helping to facilitate high launch and decrease swingweight. GT1 hybrids are also available with a .370” tip section and the same hybrid shaft selection as GT2 and GT3 through custom order.

GT2 HYBRID

The GT2 hybrid features the highest total MOI across the lineup, offering exceptional stability and forgiveness. GT2 delivers a high ball flight and is packaged in a sleeker, refined profile with a flatter sole design that sits flush to the turf. Its heel-toe CG adjustability allows fitters and golfers to position weights optimally, dialling in ball flight and launch conditions.

GT3 HYBRID

It features a smaller, more iron-like profile, yet GT3’s improved perimeter weighting boosts MOI considerably compared to the prior generation.
