Driver fitting for older drivers?

Jay C — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:39:09 GMT

I know this might sound a bit sacrilegious posting this right after the GTS release....but I'm wondering has anyone done a fitting with a Titleist rep for the current model driver, then taken the head/shaft specs and gone and sourced out something similar from a previous model or two? For example get fitted for a GTS but then go and find a comparable GT or even TSR? As much as I'd love to upgrade to a GTS...even factoring in the fitting fee the savings could potentially go towards a couple of new Vokey wedges in addition to adding a new driver to the bag

It seems like it's easy to find lots of good condition used heads and shafts, but just not the fitting component to go along with it unless you live near a 2nd Swing location.

GTS2

Gregg W — Fri, 22 May 2026 18:21:40 GMT

Got my new GTS2 driver yesterday. Best driver I have ever had. Average 8 yards longer carry. Many drives were 12-14 longer. I play a draw. It seems to draw it easier than my GT2 For all of you that have one on order, I feel you will love it.

I loved the GTS2 so much I got the Driver and fairway wood. Now I just have to wait for the box truck to show up. They also have a great sound on impact!

GTS driver

jbryant — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:34:22 GMT

After Titleist fitting I changed to the new GTS with an Ultra shaft. I am a 77 Y O 14 handicap player and gain 15 to 20 yards of fthe tee. Just as or more accurate them my old TM 2 year old driver. Very happy with the purchase. John B

Just changed my Driver Head to the GTS2 coming from GT3 and before TSr3.

Same shaft.

I don’t go that much on forums to answer or give my take on golf clubs even though I consider myself a gear head. But my god, this GTS2 is absolutely brilliant. Just did 9 holes with it and it blew my mind how tolerant it is, it felt I hit the middle of the face every time (when I know I am not ).

I am curious to see how it does after the honeymoon period but bloody hell, this has been absolutely great.

Well done Titleist.

My2c,

Quentin

[quote user="Matthew G"]Preordered a GTS 3, waited for release, and finally received it. The driver arrived new in the plastic, but after unwrapping it I noticed the crown finish seems a little underwhelming. There are several pin-sized white specks and a few other paint blemishes visible on the crown. Has anyone else experienced this with their GTS? I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth the hassle of setting up a return/exchange. On one hand, it’s cosmetic. On the other hand, this is a $700 driver and I wasn’t expecting to see paint imperfections right out of the wrapper.

Yes, mine came in scratched on the bottom and top. Last time I called about my GT1 3 wood they had zero care to help. Good luck if you try. Very disappointing for sure!

GTS 3, 4 Weight kits

dhunter — Fri, 15 May 2026 18:22:57 GMT

Any idea how to purchase the weight kits since the sliding weight is different from the GT3.

Anyone successful in finding a way to order the weight kit or individual weight for the GTS3 ? I am in Canada

GT280 Mini and TSi

David C — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 20:29:26 GMT

Over the years I have mostly played png drivers, Fairway metals, and hybrids. I have owned several Titleist fairway metals and had nice results with the 909F and 913lF. I had a Tiitleist Hybrid too after having success with the png G25. I had two separate bags for years, one I kept at our vacation home that we owned for almost 20 years. I have had Titleist MB irons since 2012 and played Vokey wedges for many years too. I just couldn't justify the expense of the Titleist driver and had so much success with my png i20 driver, fairway metals, and hybrids. I have always preferred smaller heads on my metals so when the GT280 Mini hit the market, I got tempted, but they were so much more money and I hit my png i20 so well. I had an opportunity to purchase a TSi fairway metal for my brother when I was visiting. I bought as a demo discount. I knew the shaft was too much flex for my brother, but I thought I would send him the stiff shaft from my 913F. I hit it before I purchased it and it felt very nice. Long story, made short, my brother never used the club and he mailed it to me for my birthday last year. I swapped to the shaft from the 913F and found it a great club off the tee on holes that required some precision targeting from the tee box and occasionally from the fairway on longer holes if I was trying to cover trouble or make up ground after a poorer drive. I also knew it was designed for use in the rough too. I loved it. I then followed up and bought a GT280 Mini and married it to a low flighted shaft. I tried the GT280 using the shaft from my 913F, but the flight was too high for me. I had played a png G2 7 degree or a png i20 8.5 degree driver for years. After getting the correct Titleist tip installed and using it last fall and now this spring, I am sold on both the TSi and the GT280 Mini. Very consistent and even though I give up a bit on length on my GT280 Mini drives, I get better misses. I love the sound of both clubs because I realize that they sound more like my old Persimmon gear from some 50 years ago.

RE: GTS driver

Michael F — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 19:16:35 GMT

I never thought I'd buy another driver, but my stocks went way up today and I thought, why not, I'm only 73 and I'm still able to hit some big drives. So, I walked into my local golf shop with my TSR3 in hand. I freaking hate hitting drivers inside. I always think I'm going to smash a hole in a wall or ceiling. So, it took me about 40 swings before I hit a 252 yard drive with my TSR3, on that GC Quad thing. So I said to the sales guy, if I hit this GTS3 260 it's probably going to cost me some money. Then, bam, 260, lol. True to my word I said I'll take it. The only thing was I kept my Tensei 1k Blue 55 stiff shaft from my TSR3 in it. So, I didn't get a new shaft with my purchase. But, I like that Tensei, so there. When I hit the GTS3 I immediately felt like it was more powerful. I also noticed that on off center strikes it maintained distance better. My spin numbers came down and club head speed went up. I was cranking out 260 yard drives with low smash factors. So, it must be better, right?

GTS1 ?

john t — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 12:49:08 GMT

Will the new GTS2 replace the GT1?

RE: GTS1 ?

Frank P — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:00:33 GMT

Spoke to my Titleist fitter and he said the GTS 1's will be out in January.

RE: GTS driver

Tim R — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 01:11:48 GMT

I just got fitted for the GTS2 yesterday, coming from a 917D2 I felt a huge difference. I gained 20-25 yards. I love the feel and overall look at address much more than my old Driver not to mention I was able to hit it way more consistent.

RE: GTS1 ?

KHur — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 21:44:05 GMT

Also looking forward to the GTS1.
I've tried the 2's, 3's and even the 4's and the 1 has been....the one.

RE: GTS driver

John W — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:11:23 GMT

You will never be happy looking at it as you address the ball. I would arrange a return and swap.

C-16

Jeff D — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 17:28:52 GMT

Would it make sense to re-shaft my C-16’s that are about 10 years old?

RE: C-16

Don O — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 18:33:06 GMT

How much have you changed over the last 10 years.? How worn are the faces? If you struggle to hit the center of the faces sre worn, time to consider a new set of irons.

GTS delivery time

craig t — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 18:21:18 GMT

So I went for my fitting for GTS driver and fairway woods. Ended up ordering GTS4 driver, GTS2 3 wood, GTS3 5 and 7 wood. Ordered 3 weeks now and still no sign, see shops now have them in, a bit gutted not to have received them yet. Anyone else finding the same?

RE: GTS delivery time

Don O — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 18:27:55 GMT

….Yes. Backups are inevitable with popular new releases. Store rack quantities weren’t made since your order. Most likely made 2-3 months ago. Doesn’t make the wait any easier.

RE: C-16

Dale V — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 17:31:21 GMT

If you really love them and the grooves are not too worn, you certainly can. I would recommend a good fitter because your physical swing may have also changed a lot over the last 10 years. A fitting is not only about the new technology but also about your current swing.

Putter Fitting

Mike r — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 16:57:05 GMT

Had my first ever putter fitting last Saturday with SAM lab. I wish I had done this a lot sooner. It took about an hour, and I ended up with a Scotty Studio-Style square back. Feels so good off the face, and I would highly recommend getting fit for a putter.

RE: Putter Fitting

Mark C — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 14:24:48 GMT

I have been a Newport player since it first came out in 1995\1996, still have that one, but have upgraded to newer Newport models over the years, went through a putter fitting once and of course Newport just worked for me again. I am considering a new fitting with all the new putters that are blade looks with more MOI such as the Squareback 2 or the Fastback 2, but they will have to have an automatic make mode to get me from the classic Newport. I did buy one Mallet once just because it was so unique, it was the original Futura with the big horseshoe weight that came out in 2003, it is in my collection even though I have never played it

RE: Putter Fitting

Scott D — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:08:30 GMT

I did the same thing but from a local fitter and ended up buying a couple year old Super Select Newport 2. Great club. Look forward to sending to Scotty to have the colors customized to a Red/White/Blue theme. Also liked the same club you got but blade felt better, but both great clubs. Congrats.

Serial Number Check

Craig G — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 13:36:29 GMT

I purchased a 3 iron off eBay to match my set and straight away after hitting it, it doesn’t feel right at all Checking the serial number against the rest of my set it is a different size font, and looking at closely comparing my clubs and this 3 iron there are few other aspects that look right, event the feel of the head is different Can anyone advise on how I can get this checked out please
