Time to buy TSR on discount….
Got my ex demo (as new almost) TSR3 driver for 215 GBP today .
Crossfield found no difference.
@@deanbrayshaw5862He’s not fast enough
Yep just seen that @deanbrayshaw5862
Just did
900$ canadian for a stock driver is absolutely insane !!!!! And really not worth it anymore
100% agree. A new driver should cost $500, not $649, which is absurd. Stay one model back and keep $349 in your pocket.
Ok
Your videos are most informative, but a minor suggested enhancement. Tell us what shafts are being used in all the clubs Ian's hitting.
I already know how this is going to go…
Ian: This is a beautiful driver. See folks this is what technology and R & D buy you.
Mikey: Nice strike
Ian: You won’t get something like this from that one big box store.
😂😂😂 Sad but true.
Would love to see a Maltby or Wishon comparison
He's not lying though to be fair 😂 nice driver, he strikes it well most of the time and buying off the shelf can suck 😂
You forgot the part where they review next year and it sucks compared to the shiny 2025 drivers
They’ve raised the price to $649. This is outrageous. I will not pay such prices. Note: I CAN pay such prices. But I WON’T.
The TSR family of woods is excellent, as is the TSI line. Golf OEMs are pricing these models to cascade into pre-owned, and capture maximum dollars for the people who A) Have to have the latest and greatest, and/or B) get fit for what performs best and are less cost conscious.
If you're a gearhead and don't want to pay $649...hit a B/S/T forum or used rack and enjoy your $300 TSR2 that goes 2 yards shorter on a robot over 1000 swings.
I find these comments ridiculous, if someone wants to pay they will if no one buys, they will have to reduce the price. Personally, i have never paid list price for any golf clubs, just got fitted for some P790 irons, had a medial condition so needed some help, in the UK these listed at £1399, I paid £850 for 6-GW with upgraded shafts. I felt that was fair, i got £500 for my Mizuno Pro221 5-PW, so £350 for new irons having used the old ones for 3 years seemed fair
I get the sentiment for high price on new Titleist, but let's also keep in perspective that they release retail every two years instead of each year. So really, the per-year price is way less than other manufacturers.
Anyone complain about price, just buy the previous model.
Guys, you have to compare the GT numbers with TSR numbers back-to-back. This is not really that useful showing just GT
There is no comparison.... TSR is way spinny compared to this driver. GT is better in every way
Check out Mark Crossfield’s review, he did a side by side comparison and Titleist isn’t going to like it! TSR and GT tested the same for Mark, no difference.
@@CareyHodsdenNot according to other reviews I’ve seen.
@CareyHodsden it was marketed as low spin and fatest speed. So I'm sure by the time the next GT model comes out, this model will be considered "too spinny" and "less ball speed." I'm also sure they're just gunna move the weight around and call it an enhanced center of gravity
Club champion would never allow a comparison to old drivers because 1) It is close enough people wouldn't buy the new ones and 2) They don't stock old heads in store so they can't sell you tsr anymore.
Went to the Titleist fitting in East Lothian for a TSR driver , came away with some specs for order , went to Titleist fitting center in Gleneagles for GT fitting , guess what , 1 yard of carry difference and basically the same specs although the shaft is now different and more expensive as it has a + sign sticker on it .
So no titleist im not spending £795 , ive spent £215 on the club that is a yard shorter . Ex demo .
But can it dethrone a 5 year old SIM driver??
The sim came out in 2020 where did you get 7 years from
@@ryanpiazza9160 ah fat fingered 7 on keyboard, good catch.
The tsr2 did 😂
all the tsr did mate
I replaced my sim with a tsr2 and havent looked back
Longer straighter, faster by an imperceptible amount :)
I sure hope this one is longer, straighter, faster and more forgiving than the last one 🤞🤞
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Next club in development…the new “twin turbo”! It goes 1 yard further 10% of the time if you’re one of the top ten players in the world!
I hope Titliest have fixed the coating durability issue, ie the paint work scratches and marks very easily, compared to other makes. Cobra coatings are great.
Just got fitted into this… best driver on the market no question
Would;Le love to see how the GT4 goes with the weights. Swapped around . Saw an interesting review when it ended up between a GT2 and GT3 in numbers especially if you like the. Small head
I'd love to see a head-to-head with recent "winners" in the same format. Maybe the GT vs. the top 2 in a mini matchup. I'd also like to see how they perform with truly off-center hits. Your off-center hits are only millimeters off. Try 1" off center and see how they perform for those of us with truly inconsistent ball striking!
I love the “fair” test comparions. However! It would fun to see Mikey optimize a TSR3 and optimized GT3 for someone other than Ian, then do the head to head.
Been waiting a min for this one. Give me some reasons to swap out of the TSR because that’s the best driver I’ve ever hit
Then keep it.
@@06silvershoesprob will happy pants 😂
I have a TSR3 and agree with you about it being the best I’ve ever hit. However any gains from one driver gen to the next is going to be incremental at best. I plan to keep mine at minimum the next line of GT drivers comes in 2 years. My wallet will thank me.
As a fellow TSr user, I can tell you the new Driver is faster 100% and has tighter more consistent launch conditions. I found TSr to be fast but just a little spinny at time for me. With the CG further forward I don’t get that as much.
Will definitely be looking to upgrade from my TSi3
By the preview picture, Ian looks like he’s running his hands through the GT’s hair.
😂
Speaking of 10k, another channel did the G400Max vs G430 10k as previously requested and they found the 400 did better overall. Different result than you expected
10k are for 25 handicappers.
Wrong
@@zacks9105 right. That amount of moi is unnecessary unless your strike is all over the joint. Overall performance for a good ball striker will not be better and likely will be worse.
@@rpk4632 I understand the physics behind it and why it’s not “needed” but I can tell you at least a couple of their pros and some RUclips guys that are way better than 25 handicap play it or have played it. To blanket the driver and say it’s only for 25 handicap is ignorant, and actually something that is talked about frequently on the channel that you can’t blanket golfers because everyone’s swing and game are different.
Also, not sure of the relevance of any of this anyways. Is this channel for only single digit and lower handicap or
@@zacks9105 I am sure there are. But for most people the 10k will be a benefit for mishits and slower swing speeds. That’s why if the 34. Pros who play ping 2 use it, and don’t be surprised if they are paid to play it. Qi10 same story 1 pro plays the 10k. So no it’s not surprising to me at all that a g400 is just as good for most people that play golf regularly. 10K was probably a heck of a marketing success tho.
Cant wait for the GT4 Video! Just got fit and ordered mine yesterday!
What a great swing!
Love the video, thank you as always for sharing the product with us!
Question… so I golf pretty much everyday (I live across the street from a muni course) so I’m either shooting 9 holes or at minimum going to the practice chipping/short game area (100 yards and in)..
I’ve been super confident with almost all my clubs besides 3 and 4 irons so I just don’t use them atm. I’ve been pretty happy with everything, I know I’m not a pro so I don’t expect crazy results but this past few days I feel like I lost my swing, as if I’m forgetting something and I can’t hit the ball for the life of me.. rarely will I get a shot that feels like clean contact..
Should I take a couple days away and reset from golfing or what could it be? I can hit driver and 3 wood alright, but my iron and wedge games completely took a face dive. Either hosel rockets/shanks/topping it or no divots high flyers is what I’m getting. Before this past week I can say atleast 65-75 percent of my shots I feel great about, clean contact, nice divots, consistent yardages.. and the bad hits were still better then what I’m getting now it’s driving me absolutely insane
These clubs seem to be really good, but only for the player that really hit them as good as the guys on this channel. 😊😊😊
Can't wait to try the GT2 13.5!!
Holy ball speed, Batman!
Got mine ordered. Hope I get it before the new pings start leaking 😂
Pings drivers aren’t as good so who cares
@@swrveGamingI prefer the ping LST. Guess I should check out the GT4!
I like that you include the pictures.
Great looking but the big brand prices are insane. Here in the auk the driver is £579 and the fairway woods £ 379. Anyway looking at various sites these two clubs take you to £930 and at £190 per iron and £179 Vokey wedges and Scotty Cameron £450 , you will need £3000 .
Great review though.
Skip to 12:20 for the testing
the price is INSANE on these. no reason to buy when you can get the same performance for way less.
Great in depth thanks
It's interesting that most R&D teams worked on MOI to help with forgiveness while Team Titleist seems to be working on the ball change that's looming. NGL, I've been in a Titleist driver since 917 so I'm bias but advantage Titleist IMHO...assuming guys can keep the 3 on the planet.
The prices have gotten insane
Thank Biden!
@@itzSeapakShut up goofball
Next driver I’m getting is Bryson’s LA Golf driver
Fitting scheduled for late August. Can't wait to get into this Driver lineup. My current gamer is old, slow and spinny. Have a sense the results are going to rock my boat to say the least!
GT2 13.5 setup as an off the tee club for someone who can be inconsistent off the tee with driver good idea?
GT2 13.5 was what I got fitted into. Great secondary choice off the tee and the dispersion was really good. Recommend getting fit for it... Hope this helps!
I hit my Club Pros GT3 and compared with my TSi3 the head "Felt" lighter.... Can you weigh the heads and see if that's another element of the increased CHS ??
Head weights are the same
Shocked at how low the price is! What a bargain! Look out Mizuno, Cobra and PXG. A new low price option!
GT3 RS and GT4 RS coming soon....
$900 is starting to get into a tough price point.
In the UK it starts at £580, put in an aftermarket shaft then you are touching £900- it's only a matter of time before it goes through the £1000 barrier on a "proper" fitting.
@@matthewshepherd826yeah here in Canada you’d be looking at $1300+ with an aftermarket shaft lol
@jh1603 1300cad is £735... I fear we are being ripped off in the UK 😂 I paid £800 (1400cad) for a Ping G430 10k with an Accra TZ6 shaft- I probably won't ever do that again!
Titleist offers a couple of Graphite Design shafts for a $200 up charge
@@Tom-ok2rh$1199.99 at Golftown for the “premium shaft” upsell. So over $1300 after tax lol
I think there is something in Mikey's comments around 13.5 GT2 vs 15 Stealth 3W.
Been waiting for these since the tour rollout, really annoyed with the price though. £570, I don't even need the shaft, just the head.
It might be time to upgrade the sim 2 ti 4 wood in my bag!
Why is it that when weight is is put more forward on the titleist GT wood it launches higher than older versions with weight back...when we were told by Callaway the opposite. Epic speed had weight forward and launch lower and less spin than epic max fairway wood which had weight back? Just when I think I have it ...weight back, high launch and forgiveness...I don't
Suggestion: show video of the club not just stock photos. Especially from the playing position
I have purposely skipped the TSR waiting for this GT. Currently playing TSi3 and I have lead tape in the front of head. So I think this new GT3 will take the lead tape out of it for me.
More than enough drivers on the market for players who find it a challenge to locate the middle of the club face. Give the rest of us a Ball Speed Beast!!
Gregg Bypass
Let's fit a 6-10 index golfer and see the numbers.
one thing's for sure. titleist is still spending the most money on marketing.
What is considered 7 wood length? 41.5 inches?
Are we getting any TPI footage?
The disappointing thing is the price, these brands are taking advantage of golfers and Titleist leads the way….Hopefully people stop buying new drivers from these brands, I own a TRS 2 Titleist driver and like the brand but this is ridiculous and it hurts the game with these outrageous prices.
How does Titleist “lead the way”…when they only introduce new models every other year? As opposed to most every other brand that bring out new models every year. Lol
@@reneo6866 The new drivers this year we’re $600 and now Titleist has a driver that costs $650 for no reason other then greed, then in 2025 all the other brands will jump to $700 and Titleist will have to jump to a higher price in 2028 and before you know it we are taking out a bank loan for a new driver! That’s called leading it, when a company raises prices first that’s leading the way. And the club just isn’t better, these companies are con artists.
I think the GT is the best feeling driver I have ever hit
GT4 player here can’t wait for the in-depth video around my new weapon of choice
If the straight to consumer brands start making it into fitting bays at even 25 percent less in price the big brands are in trouble. I had to view my iron fitting this year as a five year investment just to justify it. I would gladly pay 25 percent less for fitted Kirklands
The GT2 fairway woods look exactly like the old Callaway XR 14 fairway woods. Just saying… with advanced materials 😌
Kirlin Valleys
is it just me or is the height from both drivers a little lower than in the past?
Addison Brooks
Lot of money for an extra yard and a different head cover 😜
Great video guys
No performance difference at all between new and old. Titleist just changed a few things up so they’d have opportunity to market another overpriced driver
Dach Drives
Tried the low spin version. It is a bomber and very forgiving. They are not carbon it’s a polymer that Titleist has a propriety patent for golf, incredibly light, so they can play with the weighting. Folk that moan its expensive, these are hand finished which comes expensive. They do look incredible, i went to Titliest and they are understandably proud of what they have achieved
so if you shorten GT3 to 45” you can only put weight in the front? hard pass if so
What time in the video do they mention that?
@@AlexHowe-nh7wnat the 7:05 mark he mentions the weight port is now in the front
Unless You can hit a different iron into the green Keep what you have. JUST A THOUGHT !!!
Grand Tourer?
Crown *
Can we get a Tensei 1k pro blue vs the no upcharge tensei 1k blue in the new GT line? Both TX flex preferably
sure, for $1000
If you want to lower your scores work on your short game!!! You can’t win by longer drives!!! 75% of practice needs to be 50 yards and in… all the tech in the world won’t make you better!
How dare they temp us
Please tell Mikey it's not a carbon criwn, it's a proprietary polymer. Great drivers though.
Polymer top not carbon
Driver checks all the boxes. But eeeesh, the price is just too much.
Thomas Jose Davis Steven Thompson Margaret

Maybe a nice driver, but other reviewers are finding virtually no difference between this and the TSR series it’s splitting hairs. The price is absolutely insanity, it’s great to promote a new product but when the vast majority can’t afford it as in Canada with taxes, it’s almost $1000, they have jacked up $100 over the last years TSR model that is nothing but greed and stupidity. I hope people leave these drivers sitting on the rack.

Another 30+ min review of clubs without one single shot of the club behind the ball, or at all really.

Someone buy my qi10 driver so I can buy this please
Play both…I have several drivers that I put in play. Same with wedges and putters. Keeps the game interesting. Qi10 is no slouch it’s a great driver
@@Tom-ok2rh that would be cool, but unfortunately, I’m not rich
@@kirkshammett94 I hear ya pal…when I was married all my golf purchases had to go through you know who. But now that I’m divorced, the beast has been turned loose..Lol
@@Tom-ok2rh yeah I’m married with two kids and I’m pretty much at my golf spending limit right now lol
Blah blah blah let’s get to the review and specs
Rude
You know you can skip to that part right?
@@ericgomez6425he doesn’t know that 😂
Or you could start your own RUclips review channel and present what you want.
What an ass.
Just not a fan of Titleist woods, the irons are exceptional. The shape and look just don’t jive with me, I don’t have a “players” eye, I’m just a hack.
Thats crazy.. but this is why we're all different.. ive not played another brand for 25years! I think the pear shape is the most desirable shape in a driver!
meh. another average titleist product at best
Still using my 909D Comp.. will this be the one after 15 years to make me change??
