    New GTS drivers have been making their way across global professional tours for almost a month now, most notably at the Houston Open, Valero Texas Open, and The Masters, and the number of players putting them in play continues to grow worldwide.

    And now you can experience New Titleist GTS metals for yourself.

    GTS fittings begin May 13. Book today to be among the first to experience GTS. Find a fitting near you: titleist.com/locator

    Whether it's TV coverage, social media, a tip from your local PGA pro, or something you overheard at the shop, what have you heard that has you fired up to try a GTS driver?

    For me, it started with a text exchange shared during our Monday team catch-up meeting: a message from a prominent non-contracted Tour player to one of our Tour fitters. I won't share the exact words, but it's not every day a Tour player texts a club fitter like a kid on Christmas.

    The other notable one for me was a common trend observed in early fittings. Tour players were registering faster swing speeds with GTS. We typically focus on ball speed gains for driver performance, but our Tour reps kept noticing something different than past launches: players were swinging harder. More stability. More confidence. More freedom to go after it.

    And as an employee who has been fortunate to play a GTS3 in my last few rounds, I completely get it. For you that know me, I am not the most accurate driver of the golf ball. My first three drives with GTS3 found the fairway. Tension on the tee faded. The swing freed up. I've been letting it fly with GTS and gettings "oooohs" and "aaaahhhs" I haven't heard in years. I am in love. 

    So tell us—what have you seen or heard about New Titleist GTS driver that has you excited to try it?

    I'm hoping the GTS3, with it's back weight, or the 4, with it's sliding front weight, can dial in the spin rates, and offer some accuracy adjustments.
    My current GT2 is accurate, but I spin it lots. Conversely, my GT4, spins in the right range, but accuracy suffers..

    So fingers crossed I'll come away with a newer, IMPROVED dance partner lol. Best part is, I won our indoor league this winter, and my prize was a new, fitted, GTS !

    Allan - 3 straight fairways - where do I sign up?

    Not being a long hitter, 5-10 yards new distance will open a couple more chances for a GIR per round.

    It's a substantial upgrade from none-in-a-row, Don!

    Any additional speed will always be a good thing for me as “father time” keeps breathing down my neck. Looking forward to the new sound, which equates to feel, and hopefully will free me up too.

    I generally hit the spot on the clubface on the button and really pretty straight --- so forgiveness is not a real big issue but welcome. Like just about everybody, though, I can always use more clubhead speed so I'm anxious though to see how they launch and perform. If these clubs are going straight into the bags of the pros as I've been hearing, they must see and feel something that they like using these new clubs --- a lot. I can't wait to check them out!

    You said it right there Allan. I'm hoping to see an improvement in dispersion that will help me gain confidence off the tee. That's where I lose a majority of my strokes. Many times I tee it up the thought "where's it going to go this time" pops in my head.

    Love my GT2! Looking for added ball speed. Dispersion and added distance for me given my age...

    Looking forward to seeing the GTS2 with the dual position weights if it will reduce spin for me while still keeping the great forgiveness the 2-model head already has.

    I'm excited to see what gains I can get in distance and accuracy. When I was fit for my TSR, my handicap was a quite a bit higher. Swing plane was bad. Club path was off. Attack angle was too steep. Basically, everything was bad. Had to get the 3 to adjust as much as I could to straighten things out.
    Now 4 years and many lessons later, I'm using the A1 setting. I think a new fitting would be good for me. I would get more out of it now that I have improved and understand my swing better.

    “I feel the need… the need for speed.”

    If Tour guys are swinging it faster, that says a lot. That’s confidence, not marketing. I’ll be trying it ASAP and seeing it in a real fitting.

    Honestly, I haven't seen anything like the buzz around the new GTS driver and fairway metals. When any existing line is updated, I think most people expect minor cosmetic tweaks and slight performance improvements; however, overwhelming feedback from professional GTS players and seeing the release timeline pressed earlier than any previous model have me thinking this is a much bigger upgrade than even Titleist expected.

    Can't wait to swing one!
