Testers Wanted: Titleist GT Long Game

Titleist has introduced the GT Drivers and fairways, signifying “Generational Technology”, a significant shift in materials, construction and performance from their previous TS models. Despite appearances suggesting minimal change, substantial advancements lie beneath the surface.

Our Tony Covey and Chris Nickel have done full breakdowns and articles on the drivers and fairway woods which can be found here (drivers) and here (fairway woods). Here is a brief overview to whet your appetite. 

About The Titleist GT Line

Titleist’s goal was to enhance performance without altering their familiar look and feel. This approach ensures players have a familiarity with their clubs year over year while hopefully experiencing performance gains. The GT models feature refined aerodynamics with changes focused on the underside to reduce drag and increase speed, notably through the raised aft section.

The introduction of Split Mass Construction redistributes weight to the driver’s perimeter, enhancing stability and optimizing performance. Additionally, the GT lineup incorporates a seamless thermoform composite crown, marking a departure from previous designs. This innovative crown integrates a Proprietary Matrix Polymer (PMP), improving acoustics and mimicking the sound of titanium.

The GT drivers emphasize lowering the center of gravity, promoting consistent spin rates and enhancing forgiveness. Titleist’s Speed Ring with Variable Face Thickness (VFT) face technology aims to boost speed across the face, catering to off-center hits.

The Seven Most Compelling Outcomes For a Scintillating Olympic Golf Sunday

After another scintillating day at Le National, the “creme” has risen to the top at the Olympic golf competition. The hottest golfer on the planet, reigning gold medalist Xander Schauffele, is atop the leaderboard at -14. Tied with him is Jon Rahm, Masters and U.S. Open champion. One shot back is Tommy Fleetwood, the star of the 2018 Ryder Cup here at Le Golf National. Tied for fourth at -11 is Masters winner Hideki Matsuyama and one of the game’s brightest young talents, Nicolai Hjøgaard, who during Saturday’s third round matched the course record with a 62. One stroke further afield is the heavyweight duo of Rory McIlroy and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

In all, 13 players are within five strokes of the bronze medal, promising plenty of fireworks in front of a crowd that has been at full-throat all week, cheering on their countrymen but also reveling in the feeling that golf has finally been embraced by the Olympics and vice versa. “I think it’s a little more fun than a major,” McIlroy said of the raucous atmosphere. “Sort of like a celebration in a way.”

Now comes the hard part. The final round brings unique pressure with each competitor feeling the weight of their countrymen and the uniqueness of contending in the planet’s biggest athletic spectacle which comes around once every four years. Jason Day has talked often this week about the waves of emotion that come with representing Australia. “It’s definitely reconnected myself with why I play the game and why I love the game so much,” he says. 

With all of this feeling and pressure as the backdrop, here are the most compelling possible outcomes for what has already been a memorable Olympic golf competition.
