Thomas.r.kasper Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 The face design looks awesome, the finish on the crown looks very expensive car shiny. The sole design is pretty woof, but how often do you even see it? Hopefully it comes with a nice headcover.

agregory Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Titleist is in many ways always a little unique. These clubs display that uniqueness. Those who have commented “they look luke Titleist” have articulated the thoughts that I have. I would put them in my bag and not think twice.

Shaned888RTR Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I have tried to like the Titleist driver ever since the 915 series. In my opinion they all are ugly and unplayable. I just don’t get along with them.

Douglas Stefanson Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 They look pretty basic and plain which I would not prefer.

alexchung Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) Neither for nor against at the moment. Would need to see if IRL and have it in my hand, but initial thoughts are the Matt sole is not brilliant but then who looks at the sole when hitting a ball and I am not sure of the GT logo instead of the old Triangle (then again I don't really notice it on the TSR2 that I am currently using) From address it looks like any classic Titleist driver which at the end of the day is what you are looking for and wanting.

Mezz Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I get the appeal of a simplistic look, but in the age of the Darkspeed line, Titleist is gonna have to step it up. I’m sure they perform really well, but something about the titleist drivers never really appeal to my eye. Maybe it’s the shape, maybe they’re just a little bland. Also not a fan of the gloss finish on the crown. I also have to say that the “GT” name is played out in almost every single industry- bicycles, cars, musical instruments, etc. I’m kind of over it.

TBGumby12 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 The GT looks kind of plain which is normal for Titleist. I would prefer a less shiny top. The bottom, though not really important, looks a little cheesy.

chadmariage Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Drivers can sometime get too busy. While, if done right, it can sometime look pretty cool, bland/clean is, sometimes, a better way to go. Titleist is an elder statesman in drivers so this fits that bill, classic. I'm sure the performance will be good. Can't wait to try it.

RetiredBoomer Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I suppose that like any old grump, I'd be the wrong one to ask. I thought that the PT was their best looking effort, post wood era. I've got an old 13, 17, 20, 23° set. Simple one piece heads, still shaped like wooden clubs. I even love the cosmetics with no club numbers, just lofts. I really should get them re-shafted and play them right now. Or just get them re-gripped and play them as they are. It's not that I'm threatening any course records anyway.

JeremyD Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 As someone who loved and misses my 975D, I've always been a fan of Titleist. I had a TS3 for about 3 months and hated it. Maybe, once they drop in price after a couple of years, I may jump at trying one of these. I'm not sure about the shiny top however. My luck, I'll tee up where the sun reflects off it into my eyes.

Hennbird Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I am curious to see how this new Titleiest Driver performs. As for the look it is a little shiny to me.

Cagolfer Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 My very first reaction was the I did not like it, but I could not articulate why. As I looked through the pictures, I realized that it was not the look of the driver, but rather the name and badging. It won’t deter me from trying it, and putting it in play if it performs though. When I hear anything GT, it evokes in me thoughts of race cars. It’s almost as if they are trying to hard to tell you it’s fast. Like when Taylormade had the Speed line of clubs. I think it’s fine, but IMO, it was gonna be hard to improve on the looks of TSR lineup.

nv00021 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I am an admitted Titleist fanboy, so I love them. I game the TsR3, and I love it.

rkj427 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 The look from the top is the traditional, classic Titleist look, and the flat black surfaces on the sole may actually be an improvement to stop the scratches or tee marks from causing damage to what once were shiny black on the TSR models. Initial "news" or "reports" are increased ball speeds, so it will be interesting to see what gains or improvements may actually transpire. The weight track to the front of the GT3 is interesting to me, as I play the TSR3 fairways with the track in a similar position and am more than happy with them. Possibly they added weight to the back to counter the shift to the front? As far as the GT2 fairways having the weight in the front, that is similar to the TSR2 hybrids, and I play a TSR2 21 degree without issue of ball flight or forgiveness. I like them, will need to see if there are any substantial gains to be had before I would make a switch from my current set-up.

GolfSpy_KFT Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Maybe it is just me, but the gloss finish on my TSi3 has never, not once, given me any issues with glare. Clearly that is something that comes down to personal preference, but for me it's never been a problem. I love the look of a gloss crown, and the less busy the better. Anyone remember the Taylormade R1, RBZ Stage 2, etc.? Matte crowns sure, but super busy and just way too much going on. As to sole design, no, it isn't as clean as the TSr or as futuristic looking as the TSi3, but I am guessing that there is possibly something in the tech behind the amount of the matte material on the club. I love a good looking club as much as the next player, but if something performs, bottom line you play it. Looking forward to the details in tech coming out down the line!
