it's might where the fun and game
[Music]
start all right guys welcome back to the
channel be sure to like And subscribe
and I'd love to hear your comments down
below about the new titless drivers as
well first off let's kick things off
with looks these new drivers look
phenomenal like they really really do
there's three in the lineup GT2 GT3 GT4
and they all for different types of
golfers I'll come on to the technology
in a minute but for tight list they've
always been very classic with their
design and this doesn't change it could
have changed this year and I'll come on
to why that's the case as well in a
second but it's this very Classic this
kind of black dark glossy top finish
this very streamlined sole of the golf
club I love love the styling of this GT
I mean even coming on to the head cover
how nice is that head cover that's one
of the nicest head covers I have ever
ever seen makes me want to use the
driver just for that um but really they
have stuck with tradition when it comes
to looks where things have dramatically
changed this year is the technology
tight List have always been kind of
refiners the they'll go yeah we've got a
good product we're just going to refine
it every two years we'll bring out a new
drive we'll just refine it well they
honestly believe this time bringing this
new GT line out they have completely
stepped ahead in technology in fact it's
the reason why it's called GT
generational technology now GT for most
of us means kind of speed you know Grand
Turismo GT when you see a fast car
typically means speed and this isn't all
just talk from Titus this year there is
actually a big technology story as well
there's three main stories in fact
first off the crown there's this new
seamless therof form Ultra lightweight
material that tit have used that
apparently has never been used in golf
before and what this allows is this kind
of split Mass construction so even
though this does look like all one
material on the driver head it's
actually multile materials but they've
kind of Blended it so it still looks
like a titless driver I think if in the
hands of other companies this driver
would have looked very different like
the Crown would have probably been a
different color um just to almost
showcase that technology but tiers
didn't want that and their Tor Pros who
very much have a say in the design of
the drivers didn't want that either they
wanted it to look like a classic driver
orbe it it is patched full of technology
and then the last thing again it's
internal so you're not really going to
see this but it's a new speed ring vft
face so two technologies coming together
to create GT's apparently amazingly fast
face we'll see if that's the case
they've also really streamlined the head
design so it's more aerodynamic than
ever before and last thing it's not a
massive technology story but it's the
face Graphics again Titus very much used
the feedback from their tour Pros to
inspire the new look of the drivers and
they their feedback is they want this
kind of new graphic on the face where I
actually quite like it the middle
section is a little bit darker it's not
really got any Groove lines on it
ideally that's where you want to hit the
golf ball from and then there just three
kind of I spikes almost graphics on the
toe and on the heel it's nice I really
like the graphics of the face it's not
have any advantage on ball speed or
distance or very little but it's just a
really nice look certainly when you're
addressing it behind the golf ball
price-wise 579 per driver so about $600
roughly it's expensive but a lot of
drivers are going that way now
um I don't personally like to see the
driver price that high I I think drivers
in my opinion should never be over £500
but they are certainly going that way
now where you're not getting a lot of
change out of 600 for a driver so let's
get back to the testing as I mentioned
earlier on there's three different heads
GT2 GT3 GT4 so to start things off I
went down to titless fitting Center wurn
here in the UK and had a really good
fitting actually for these drivers um
I've not always had great fittings from
different particular Brands uh but this
was really good I hit it like I would do
normally some good some bad I wasn't
trying to smash it as high as I could
just get a realistic fitting so I could
obviously give the review and give these
drivers a fair test um actually came out
pretty much standard in most things I've
actually just gone up in a 10 degree
head in each one uh but all of them in
A1 setting all of them in pretty much
the same shaft this 10i xflex 65 G shaft
and basically I wanted to go through
what was different with these three
driver heads and initial hits each Drive
head looked a little bit different
naturally and just did perform a a
little bit different starting off with
the GT2 this driver is for the majority
of golfers it is the most forgiving head
model it's
460cc it's not got the weight super far
forward it's still generating speed
that's the big story but it is the most
forgiving model for handicaps of
anywhere from probably to be honest
fairly low handicappers from maybe five
handicappers all the way up to 28
handicappers and higher um I
in the future not so distant future
there'll probably be a GT1 model coming
out as well which will be the ultra
Ultra forgiving model titless have done
that for the last few years it wouldn't
surprise me if they did again I liked
hitting that drive it was really nice
I'll come on to a bit more testing and
data shortly GT3 this one is probably
the one that's most suited again to a
lot of golfers from lower handicappers
maybe not to much as higher
handicappers um this drive ahead again
460cc slightly different makeup compared
to GT2 a little bit squashed in but
still the same sized head there's also
this adjustable weight chamber at the
front where you can actually take that
chamber off and there's a weight and you
can get other weights that you can slide
into five different settings neutral
heel one heel two toe one toe two so if
you've got a bit more tendency of
drawing it you might stick it in the
heel if you got a bit more of a tendency
of hooking it you might stick it a bit
more in the toe but it's a bit faffy I
didn't like the weight changing setting
on it you have to take that kind of
plastic panel off you then got an
adjustable weight in the middle it's
very very very difficult to fiddle with
even the fitter was let's be honest was
struggling a little bit when I've had a
little mess about with it I didn't enjoy
doing it unlike other brands where it's
really easy you you know I think Taylor
Made always do a good job in their
shifting weight you un clip it you slide
it you clip it back in that's one of the
fafi weight changing methods I've ever
seen however I really like the driver it
felt great it looked fantastic it flew
superb it's not as forgiven as the GT2
from initial testing but it's very very
very good
GT4 the low spin monster now again this
if I'm honest with you is really
designed for Tor Pros for guys with
faster swing speeds um who
maybe increase I have too much spin on
the golf ball want to lower the spin a
little bit more but really you need to
have fast Club head speed fast ball
speeds I enjoyed hitting that driver I
did it feels fantastic it's a smaller
head size at 430 CC so it feels like
will you can shift it a little bit
faster through the air but it's um it's
harder to control and actually I saw
similar results when I got the drivers
back home to Mar at Worley Park and took
them out on the golf course and give
them all a hit um I I really really
enjoyed hitting GT2 I felt like it was
very easy to find Fairways and knew I
wasn't getting ultimate pop off the face
I could tell that even without any data
just yet but it was flying straight it
was easy to hit the ball flight was
solid um just really really enjoyable
driver I think a lot of people majority
of golfers probably watching this video
will probably fit into that kind of GT2
line okay next up titless
GT3 you could tell it had a little bit
more punch in it there a little bit more
speed in that Drive ahead the ball was
coming off hotter I was still hitting it
fairly straight but just losing a couple
every now and again either overturning
it or leaving it out to the right it was
longer I could tell that it just wasn't
quite as forgiving okay last one tight
list
GT4 it's might where the fun and game
start this is fun driver like I said
this going back to this kind of sports
car analogy with the GT this is the V8
tur turbo injected absolute Beast like
this when this changes gear it pops and
it bounces and it and it grows it does
everything you want from a fast GT car
sometimes you don't always want that in
a driver it was fun I loved hitting out
on the golf course when when you catch
one when you catch one it flew but when
you don't catch one you hit it from the
toe you don't hit it as pure it
definitely definitely struggles with
performance so then I brought it back
into the hit Studio get some data I hit
a load of shots with all the three
drivers and I'll be honest just before I
even show the
data I've tested a lot of drivers over
the years 12 years of creating content
on YouTube testing different golf clubs
and typically when Brands bring out two
or three drivers for me there's always
one that I'm like ah I'm just not the
biggest fan of that one I don't like
that one as much or you know that one
doesn't suit me
personally I really really enjoyed
hitting all three drivers for three very
different reasons I just I just every
time I didn't matter which head cover I
took off if it was the GT2 three or four
it didn't really matter to me I actually
enjoyed hitting them for all different
reasons whether it was to definitely
find the Fairway maybe not get the most
distance whether it was to hit a little
bit faster or whether it was just to
have a bit of fun with the GT4 now just
a quick one before I come on to the data
if you've watched my videos before my
normal swing speed is about 110 mph I
want to get about 160 mph ball speed if
I carry it around about that 280 yards
I'm happy that's a good performance for
me GT2 kicking things off my average
swing speed was 10 19.9 so pretty much
exactly where I'd normally see it
distance-wise it's getting 274 yards of
average carry distance solid not
mind-blowing but very solid total
distance 292 yards spin rate was a
little bit higher 2600 and ball speed
definitely didn't get to that 160
157.6 however
I did not miss a fairway and some of the
shots with the GT2 were so outrageously
straight like really really impressive I
knew I wasn't going to hit a long one I
could you know I can tell by the driver
I've hit it got so many times in this
testing I knew it wasn't going to go
long but I can stand there with a driver
and just feel like it's going to hit
Fairway which is a huge Advantage moving
into GT3 my club at speed increased
slightly to 110.4 mil per hour just
worth noting and this one really for me
almost hit my um Target
driver stats perfectly average carry
distance 280 yards on the nose total
distance 299 yards ball speed 160. 4 mph
light perfect perfect perfect spin rate
2,600 a little bit higher on the spin
than I normally see I think if that if I
get the those kind of slightly lower um
spin numbers when I hit it slightly
higher on the face that's when I did get
this driver popping into the high 280
yards if you catch it a little bit off
the bottom I found that the performance
wasn't that bad I didn't hit as many
Fairways I didn't but again it wasn't
Reckless I really enjoyed hitting that
driver finally the GT4 the fun driver
now I expected to see faster Club head
speed with this driver being a bit small
I just I felt like I was swinging it
faster the actual stats said wasn't 10.8
mph so again average to how I normally
swing my driver 283 yards of average
carry distance solid but that doesn't
really tell the story this driver when I
absolutely crunched it was getting me
into 290 yards of carry distance
comfortably when I misstruck it we saw
some 270 yards 260 yards even um and
also it was Reckless I didn't know where
it was going to go if we look at the
dispersion rings of the three drivers
you can really see the yellow ring there
the GT4 just being wide very wide um but
there will be a there'll be a golfer out
there certainly the best players in the
world will be looking at that GT4 for me
I think the lineup is fantastic this
year like really really really solid I
think there's some I I
think I'd go as far as saying they're
the most exciting titless drivers they
brought out in the last God
15 years the most exciting drivers
they've brought out the last 15 years
and I think if they can build on this
now I think they are going to have a
real I don't know I feel like T this
stock has slipped a little bit in the
driver Market compared to like Taylor
May Callaway even ping I feel like with
this driver it's going to help them kind
of get some market share again and more
importantly help you guys become better
golfers guys thanks for watching stay
tuned lots more to come that was my full
in-depth review of the brand new tight
list GT drivers
