Titleist "Shallow Fit" Hats


semarlor

Recommended Posts

Looks like Titleist has some new Shallow Fit (SF) hats that were recently released....does anyone know if that means they have a lower crown? I hate a tall crown, I really prefer unstructured hats but they have become really difficult to find. 

 

I reached out to Titleist to ask this question but haven't heard back yet...so just curious if anyone knew for sure what they consider a "shallow fit."

Go to Carl's and you'll see some on sale.  

 

They look great - trend back towards the full out trucker is just a way to sell more hats, lol, just like it was when the went the other way.  Fashion world is like that. 

 

Get a shallow hat, get the brim nice and folded and get out there!

 

Wear what you like!

So they do have a lower crown? I absolutely hate the trucker hat look, haha. I don't mind the mesh but can't stand that high, pointy crown! I have a couple of the old Tour Performance hats from 5-6 years ago left thay are completely unstructured and they are my all-time favorite. But they are wearing out fast!

 

I'll check out Carl's, their return policy is awesome so it's always easy to send them back if I don't like them.

Appears so, I'd call them to be sure.

I like the lower crown hats too as I have a big head and a little body haha. I finally found a cheap Wilson mesh hat that is structured but low. I don't think I've ever found a hat that looks better on me. I don't play and Wilson clubs but I've always liked them - I would like to get one of their mallet putters one of these day.

"Shirtsleeve" swing technique:

1. Setup: Elbows bent forearms pressed together against shaft slightly forward of center with "Hogan" "active/flexed" leg tension left foot turned out slightly and the right leg slightly farther to the right - weight mostly on balls of feet butt of left hands sits on the top of the grip with very light grip.

2. Swing - W/o disturbing weight distribution of legs and feet lower hands while doing a forward press "swing trigger" then the left upper arm takes over on the backswing, it needs to go out in front of the body then back in front of the chest as the hands trace down initially then up to over the right shoulder "Torres". The goal is to not disturb the pressure of the feet during the initial takeaway.

 

Notes:

1. Only swing thought after swing trigger - extend left arm at shirt sleeve when reaching left hand over right shoulder "Shirtsleeve technique".

2. The upper left arm move "Shirtsleeve technique" can be practiced independently without a club, sitting down for instance

3. The correct feet tension can be felt by doing very short hops on the balls of the feet then holding the same feeling of pressure on the front of the feet and then taking three practice swings with the grip very loose in order to not disturb the same pressure on the feet and on the 3rd swing actively do the "Shirtsleeve" move. From there the swing should be done within a matter of seconds to not lose the feel of the legs resisting, this way this is not a learned technique as much as it is a setup technique.

If you have some hats that are too deep (that's my issue as well), put them in a pot of boiling or very hot water for a few minutes and then into the clothes dryer. Repeat as needed. That's what I had to do with my latest Titleist hat.

 

Mr. Wolfe

You know, I've done something similar with a hair dryer. Get the plastic crown mesh/webbing good and warm then put it on my head and push it down to kinda form it to my noggin. It's a lot of work, lol. I'd rather just buy a hat that fits right from the get go!

For sure. That's why I prefaced my solution with "if you have some hats". Meaning hats that you own, but don't wear because they are too deep.

Sounds like bad news for me.  Love Titleist hats, but with my big melon, they already mostly don't fit.  Wish they'd run a big head line too lol.  I'm guessing the shallow fit is just as you describe, lower crown.  

 

I am with you! It’s disheartening when the XL hat that you pick up still seems to be too small 😢

Got the shallow fit hats in today, Initial impressions are that the shallow fit is about a quarter of an inch shallower than the traditional tour performance (based off a quick measurement from highest part of the crown to the bottom). Id say this type of hat is closest to a dad hat, except the front is structured. If you don't have a big head this is definitely worth a shot, Ill probably only rock these going forward as it fits my sunglasses a little better than the traditional tour performance hat.

 

Overall I like them. Titleist is already sold out of the navy colorway, hopefully they realize not everyone has a big head and they produce more colorways in the shallow fit.

Titleist hats I have found are the WORST at consistency and fit for us bigger domed people.  Ill have to pick through an entire shelf, to find one that looks decent/good.  The misalignment of the front seam/logo, the quirky bills, the narrow crown width and general fit just is really off with them.  Shame too because they put out some really cool combos/colors.

I also hate the high crown hats. I've prided myself on being able to pull off almost anything fashion-wise, but I can't deny these look stupid on me.

 

I figured out the hat style I prefer most (and most of my buddies as well) is the yupoong classic. It's a low crown snap back that comes in a ton of color options. My buddy owns a small golf company and I really like his logo (and try to help promote his company when I can), so I got the digital file and just went and got a bunch of hats made for myself and buddies through a local embroider. 

 

I have to say it's pretty cool being able to design your own hats because you have something unique and you can match your golf outfits more easily. 

 

For those that don't want to go that route, Travis Mathew also uses this same hat style as well and they have a ton of options too but they're just a little pricier. 

 

I added a few pics for reference. 

 

And yes, I smoke a lot of cigars 😂

This is amazing. I have been looking for a lower crown dad style hat from Titleist... even going as far as looking at women’s and youth hats. This sounds like exactly what I’m after. Can’t seem to find them right now for purchase tho. Need white ones ASAP. I will buy literally 20.

same for me but I have a small head. I end up picking through every hat to find 1 that doesn’t look “too” ridiculous.
