The new Titleist GTS300 mini driver features a more forgiving, larger footprint and deeper center of gravity to deliver more distance, control and versatility off both the tee and turf.
The new GTS300 mini driver ($549) model has a 305cc clubhead volume and was built using feedback from tour players such as Justin Thomas and Cameron Young, who used the previous generation GT model.
“We’re always looking for feedback from the best players in the world,” said JJ Van Wezenbeeck, Titleist’s senior director of player promotions. “Both those players were really excited about GT280 and also had some commentary about potential performance improvements. As we worked through some prototypes with not only JT and Cam, but other tour players as well, we were able to gather valuable feedback and put that into GTS300.”
The larger footprint and deeper CG in GTS300 increase moment of inertia for better stability and forgiveness. A forged L-Cup face design helps improve performance on low-face impacts, the company says, while the new model’s dual-weighting system allows fitters and golfers to fine-tune launch conditions. Despite an increase in GTS300’s volume, it shares the same face height as its predecessor to maintain performance off the turf.
“The main goal in development was to make GTS300 a more forgiving mini driver,” said Stephanie Luttrell, Titleist’s senior director of metalwood development. “The increase in volume and shift in CG gave us approximately 15-20 percent greater inertia. At the same time, we still put a premium on versatility and performance off the turf with this club.”
