Titleist launches new GT2 and GT3 fairway metals

Published

Aug 1, 2024

Titleist has today unveiled its new GT2 and GT3 fairway metals.

Both GT2 and GT3 fairway metals feature all-new constructions, beginning with their Seamless Thermoform Crown, made from Titleist’s Proprietary Matrix Polymer.

The crown is designed to maintain the classic Titleist look while the acoustic properties of the Proprietary Matrix Polymer seek to provide the classic Titleist sound and feel. Much like the GT driver line, the ultra-light crown on GT2 and GT3 fairways allows for the redistribution of discretionary mass, leading to optimized center of gravity positions in each model. The result is higher flight with similar or lower spin and fast speeds in both models.

A new L-Cup Face is also designed to improve performance on low impact shots, and refined shaping on each model gives players two distinct options to choose from.

“A line of high-performing fairway metals needs to excel in a number of different ways. For most golfers, fairway metals need to be highly versatile. They need to be fast and long off the tee, and they need to fly high and hold greens. Playability and forgiveness are hugely important as well. The changes we made to GT fairways help deliver across all these performance attributes.” – Stephanie Luttrell, Director, Titleist Metalwood Product Development

Seamless Thermoform Crown

The ultra-lightweight Seamless Thermoform Crown on GT2 and GT3 fairways is made of the same new Proprietary Matrix Polymer found in GT drivers. The density of the Proprietary Matrix Polymer is about five times lighter than steel, giving Titleist engineers significant weight savings in comparison to prior generation fairway crowns, while maintaining Titleist’s classic sound and feel.

The crown is also completely seamless, offering a player-preferred look at address without compromising any of the performance gains from GT’s multi-material construction. To accommodate varying center of gravity targets between the two models, GT2’s crown uses more Proprietary Matrix Polymer than does the GT3.

Low CG

The discretionary mass gained from GT fairways’ Seamless Thermoform Crown allowed Titleist engineers to reposition the center of gravity in each model in a bid to achieve optimal performance. GT2’s CG is pushed lower and closer to the face, in design to produce higher launch and lower spin than its TSR2 predecessor. GT3’s CG is moved deeper in a bid to allow for higher launch while keeping spin in a low but playable window.

Forged L-Cup Face

The clubface on GT fairways is specifically designed to improve performance on strikes low on the face. A new insert wraps around the bottom of the club in design to preserve ball speed, eliminate excessive spin and enhance sound and feel.

Tour-Inspired Shaping

Both GT2 and GT3 fairways feature refinements to their shaping. Titleist engineers flattened the sole curvature from heel to toe on both models, which gives the head the appearance of sitting lower. Impacts on the toe and heel side also hit higher on the face now, in design for added forgiveness.

Based on Tour feedback, the GT3 face is now taller, which differentiates the two models, helping accommodate a wider range of player preference.

GT2 Fairway

The GT2 fairway is designed to deliver high flight, low spin and exceptional forgiveness. The model comes in five different lofts, allowing players to dial in their distance gapping at the top end of their bag. GT2 has an inviting profile with a shallow face, ideal for players who have a more sweeping delivery with their fairway metals.

Specs:

High launch, low spin

Lofts: 13.5, 15.0, 16.5, 18.0, 21.0 (RH/LH)

Standard Lengths: 43”, 43”, 43”, 42”, 41.5”

Standard Lie: 56.5, 56.5, 57.0, 57.5, 58.0

Head: 200cc, 170cc, 170cc, 150 cc, 145 cc

Featured Grip: Titleist Universal 360 Grip

Weight Options: 9 Gram (Nominal) w/ +6, +4, +2, -2, -4 Options

SureFit Hosel: Compatible with TSR, TSi, TS

GT3 Fairway

The GT3 fairway offers controlled flight, fast ball speed and maximum adjustability. Each of the three GT3 loft configurations features a refined SureFit Adjustable CG Track System, which allows fitters to move a sliding weight track into one of five positions: H2 (Heel), H1, N (Neutral), T1 (Toe), T2. A taller face helps differentiate GT3 from GT2, a profile preferred by many players who like to hit down on the ball with their fairway metal and prefer the look of a deeper face.

Specs:

Mid/high launch, low spin

Lofts: 15.0, 16.5, 18.0 (RH/LH)

Standard Lengths: 43”, 43”, 42”

Standard Lie: 56.5, 57.0, 57.5

Head: 177cc, 177cc, 153cc

Featured Grip: Titleist Universal 360 Grip

Weight Options: 12 Gram (Nominal) w/ +6, +4, +2, -2, -4 Options; SureFit CG Track

SureFit Hosel: Compatible with TSR, TSi, TS

The GT fairways are available in golf shops worldwide beginning Friday, August 23rd and are priced at $399 ($599 premium shafts).

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
