Titleist has expanded its GTS range with the launch of the new GTS300 mini driver, a larger and more forgiving option built off feedback from tour professionals including Justin Thomas and Cameron Young.
The new club carries a 305cc head, sitting between a standard driver and fairway wood, with a deeper centre of gravity designed to boost stability and forgiveness on off-centre strikes. According to Titleist, the changes deliver roughly 15 to 20 percent more inertia compared to its predecessor, the GT280, while still preserving strong performance off the turf thanks to a matching face height between the two models.
Titleist’s senior director of metalwood development Stephanie Luttrell said the priority with GTS300 was creating a more forgiving mini driver.
The clubhead features a forged L-Cup face with a high-strength titanium insert wrapping around the base of the face, aimed at maintaining ball speed and consistent launch on lower face contact. A dual weighting system also allows fitters to adjust the centre of gravity, with an 11-gram and 3-gram weight able to be swapped to fine-tune launch, spin and stability depending on a golfer’s preference.
Justin Thomas was among the first tour players to add the GTS300 to his bag, doing so at the Charles Schwab Challenge in May. Titleist says Thomas has favoured the mini driver on courses that don’t call for a traditional three wood off the deck, using it as a longer secondary option off the tee while playing a 46 inch shaft in his GTS2 driver.
More than 60 players across the PGA Tour have moved into a new GTS2, GTS3 or GTS4 driver since the range was introduced in March, including Cameron Young, Robert MacIntyre, Jordan Spieth and Tom Kim. On the LPGA Tour, players including Lottie Woad and Patty Tavatanakit have also added GTS metalwoods to the bag.
