Surprise! Titleist Just Dropped a First Look at Their New GTS Drivers

Titleist sure loves to make news, and they did it this Sunday evening by not so quietly surprising the golf world with a first look at their all-new GTS Drivers. The GTS2. GTS3 and GTS4 will go into play this week at the Texas Children's Houston Open.

They even dropped a fun teaser of some of their staff players testing the new product at what looks to be an undisclosed location (which is just more fun to say than an unknown golf course).

Titleist GTS Drivers: What We Know

Although we don't know what's actually going on inside the new GTS drivers, thanks to the supplied pictures from Titleist, we can make some assumptions and determine some hard facts, so let's dive right in.

GTS Construction

Based on what we can see and what we know about the previous GT line, I am willing to bet that the new GTS drivers feature a full wrap-around carbon body. This means that the driver head is broken down into three main components before final assembly:

• Face cup (front of the driver)
• Carbon wrap-around body
• Back adjustable weight housing

I say this because of the way the industrial design of the head shows a distinguished line between the front of the driver and the main part of the sole, where the back weight is located. This is especially noticeable on the sole of the GTS3.

I have a feeling a big part of the technology story will be how they have used more carbon to save weight to allow for even more built-in adjustability.

GTS2 Driver

The GTS2 looks like a souped up GT2 but now with an adjustable front weight. These front and back weights allow for more center of gravity tuning to better dial in spin.

GTS3 Driver

The story of the GTS3 is similar to the GTS2 in that it looks a look like the GT3 at first glance, but offers an extra adjustable weight along the rear of the club for more adjustability.

In the case of the GTS3 this means that with more weight back, the driver can be made to have a higher MOI for added forgiveness.

GTS4 Driver

As for the GTS4 it takes on a whole new identidy.

It certainly maintains the smaller profile comapred to the GTS2 and GTS3 based in the images available, with the big story here being that on top of the adjustable front and back weights like in the GT4—it now features the same adjustable CG Track as the GTS3 (which if were being honest looks a lot like the previous track in the GT3).

Across the board, all of the new GTS drivers feature more adjustability than the previous models, and for golfers and fitters that's a big key takeaway to start with.

UPDATE - In Hand Pictures From Golf WRX

Now we just wait and see who puts one in play this week in Houston.

As for a retail release, Titleist teased that a new driver would be coming in May, so we can assume that these should be in retail around that time.
