The Titleist GTS4 driver is bigger than its predecessors but still has the low spin that Titleist\u2019s \u201c4\u201d drivers are known for.\u00a0 Expanded adjustability and increased forgiveness make it more playable for more golfers.\u00a0 Extremely fast on center.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/p>\n

Titleist is, by a healthy margin, the most staid of the major OEMs.\u00a0 While they\u2019re no strangers to technology and performance, they\u2019re the most traditional, conservative brand.\u00a0 That\u2019s why it\u2019s a major head-turner when they make a big change in their lineup, as they have with the new Titleist GTS4 driver.\u00a0 What has long been the smaller, players (no, we mean it, players) driver is now a 460cc club.\u00a0 I got to test the GTS4 driver to find out if this marks a total change of character or just a move toward improved performance.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

Looks<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Titleist GTS4 driver got the biggest aesthetic change of any of their new drivers.\u00a0 Whether or not it\u2019s a glow up is a matter of taste.\u00a0 It\u2019s unarguable that it\u2019s a grow up: the GTS4 is a full 460cc compared to the 430cc of the\u00a0GT4 [review HERE<\/a>].\u00a0 While it is bigger, I still think the GTS4 is one of the best looking drivers in golf.\u00a0 The crown is a clean, gloss black, it\u2019s slight asymmetrical leaning toward the toe, and the face is very tall.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

Even side-by-side, the TItleist GTS4 driver is hard to distinguish from the GTS3 [review HERE<\/a>].\u00a0 As best as I\u2019m able to measure, they\u2019re the same size.\u00a0 There may be a little more tapering in the heel on the GTS4, but that\u2019s really splitting hairs.\u00a0 The one model that stands apart is the GTS2 \u2013 it\u2019s about 1\/8\u2033 longer from front-to-back, and its face is a touch shorter.<\/p>\n

In the bag, the similarities between the Titleist GTS4 driver and the GTS3 continue.\u00a0 Both have the same modestly-sized branding in the center of the head.\u00a0 Both have the CG Track near the leading edge and a second weight port at the trailing edge.\u00a0 While there\u2019s a lot going on, Titleist\u2019s classic color scheme and understated design make it all look clean. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

Sound & Feel<\/p>\n

Hitting all three Titleist GTS drivers side-by-side, what stands out most about the GTS4 is the level of feedback.\u00a0 This is to be expected because it has the most forward CG and is the least forgiving.\u00a0 Even small mishits can be felt clearly in the hands.\u00a0 Whether or not you want this level of honesty from your driver is a personal decision.<\/p>\n

Also unsurprising is that the Titleist GTS4 driver has an understated impact sensation on center.\u00a0 Your hands get a quick-yet-solid feeling.\u00a0\u00a0The sound is light and quiet, a mid-pitched \u201cpop\u201d similar to the GTS3.<\/p>\n

What did catch me off guard is the sound of mishits.\u00a0 Medium misses produced a rebounding \u201cthwonk\u201d that, in spite of the mediocre results, put a smile on my face.\u00a0 Typically mishit sounds are ugly and discordant.\u00a0 This is a clear signal that you messed up, but it\u2019s not punishing.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist
\nTitleist GTS Driver Fitting<\/p>\n

My GTS driver fitting experience centered on spin and how I need more of it.\u00a0 Two years ago, I was fit for the Titleist GT3 driver [review\u00a0HERE<\/a>].\u00a0 Since then, some of my best, most memorable driving rounds have come with the Titleist GT3.\u00a0 However, it wasn\u2019t in the bag full time because it wasn\u2019t as consistent or forgiving as I needed it to be.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

This time around, my fitter immediately latched on to \u201cmore spin\u201d as the solution to my hooking issues.\u00a0 This led him to put the\u00a0GTS2 driver into my hands immediately.\u00a0 We tried the GTS3 and GTS4, but both of those led to lower spin \u2013 the opposite of what my fitter was aiming for.\u00a0 Since my fitting focused so heavily on the GTS2, I have more details on it in my review HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

Performance<\/p>\n

Beyond the size, the biggest change to the Titleist GTS4 driver is the new weighting system.\u00a0 On the GT4 [review HERE<\/a>], there were \u201cDual Spin-Control Settings\u201d- a weight at the rear and a weight at the front.\u00a0 Titleist gave the GTS4 driver the same adjustable weights as the GTS3: an adjustable CG Track plus a \u201cBack Flat Weight.\u201d\u00a0 Alongside the SureFit Hosel, this gives golfers a huge range of options.\u00a0 You can put more weight back to boost forgiveness, open or close the face, and slide weight toward the heel or toe to influence the shot shape.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

Before moving on, it\u2019s important to note that the CG Track weight and Back Flat Weight are not interchangeable.\u00a0 Also, Titleist does not make additional weights readily available.\u00a0 All of this to say: it\u2019s really important to get fit for the right weight combination when you buy your driver.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

In my testing, I was impressed with the impact of the CG Track.\u00a0 While it won\u2019t cure a bad slice or hook, it does make an obvious difference on ball flight.\u00a0 This feature is, arguably, of even more importance in a club like the Titleist GTS4 driver which is so easy to shape.\u00a0 A player who hits a draw might see that tendency get out of control with a club like this, but you can dial in a little insurance with the CG Track.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

Turning to the signature quality of \u201c4\u201d drivers \u2013 low spin \u2013 that is still present in the Titleist GTS4 driver.\u00a0 As a naturally low spin player, I was regularly hitting knuckleballs with this set up.\u00a0 My fitter told me that the CG is the same in the GTS4 as in the GT4; it\u2019s just a bigger, more stable head.\u00a0 For high spin players, dropping several hundred RPM can increase carry distance, total distance, improve consistency, and create better performance in the wind.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

The Titleist GTS4 driver also has the club and ball speed that were the calling cards of the GT line.\u00a0 Even at 460cc, this is an aerodynamic head that I was able to swing consistently at the top end of my range.\u00a0 On center, that club speed translates to some of the fastest ball speeds I\u2019ve seen.\u00a0 The forward CG of the GTS4 driver enhances the performance of centered strikes, making it a great choice for players who consistently hit the middle of the face.<\/p>\n

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

Finally, the Titleist GTS4 driver is easily the most forgiving \u201c4\u201d that they\u2019ve ever made.\u00a0 In previous generations, people who gamed the 4 liked to say, \u201cIt\u2019s really not that hard to hit,\u201d but that was just an obnoxious humble brag.\u00a0 The GTS4 is actually somewhat forgiving.\u00a0 It\u2019s not on the same level as the GTS2 or even the GTS3 (at least not with stock weighting), but it doesn\u2019t turn small mishits into embarrassingly short drives.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t recommend the GTS4 to high handicap players, but anyone who feels they\u2019re a strong driver should check it out.

\"Titleist<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

I often say that the year to year changes in drivers are iterative and gradual.\u00a0 The\u00a0Titleist GTS4 driver is an exception.\u00a0 Compared to its predecessor, it\u2019s bigger, more adjustable, and more forgiving while retaining the excellent speed and low spin.\u00a0 While still best for skilled players, any high spin player should give the GTS4 driver a chance to see what it can do for their tee shots.
