Titleist GT more forgiving?

[rwhitlock]

With the latest 10k buzz, does anyone know if the new GT line (thinking maybe the 2?) will be more forgiving?  

 

I’m currently gaming the Ping 10k driver but have always been a Titleist fan.  I hit more consistent drives with the Ping, but really prefer the looks and sound of the Titleist.

 

I guess i’m just hoping they’re more forgiving so I can justify buying one..

Unfortunately, nobody knows anything, even if they say they do, so we'll just have to wait. Titleist will surely say they are more forgiving, but it will be many months down the road, after lots of testing by many different evaluators, before a clear picture emerges.

Yes it has 20k moi. You hit it and goes 350 down the middle. It’s that good. I tried I went from hitting 250 crooked to 350 down the middle. It’s a real deal.

Guess for most on wrx it’s no deal then….”we’re” not willing to give up yards. 🤣

TSR2 was extremely forgiving so I’d imagine something similar for the GT2. Whether it’s close to 10K MOI I highly doubt, so you’re likely going to be waiting until the “1” model comes out.

The new Titleist GT 2/3/4 models are built for the masses, not your typical WRXer who, with the standard 210 mph ballspeed, would crush the face of any standard model.

 

Have to wait for the GT 5 to be released for the WRX crowd. That will come with a sold block of titanium head and a 1/4" rebar with titanium prepeg for a shaft.

Nobody can assess that because nobody other than tour ambassadors have access to the new GT line.  I play TSR2 10' and can't imagine new GT -2 version being more forgiving and longer than mine.  Didn't notice any WOW watching Homa spanking it in the Open.

 

I doubt Titleist will ever build a FORGIVING wood comparable to Ping.

I dont think the titanium shaft can handle my aggressive transition though, they need to develop something sturdier.

The TS2 was the first Titleist driver with a horizontal MOI over 5000 (barely). Marketing for the TSi line mentioned a 5% increase putting the TSi2 around 5300. The TSr2 then saw that drop below 5000 in favor of prioritizing aerodynamics and ball speed. Given their recent emphasis on aerodynamics, it would be fair to bet that the GT line will be well short of 10K combined MOI.

Can't remember when but in some Titleist marketing video or interview from the past they talked about MOI and said that they could max it out if they wanted to but their research showed that max moi actually causes people to swing slower. Not sure if that is still their philosophy, but I'd guess it probably is.

I doubt its changed much the TSR2 is by far the best driver head they have ever produced. Ballspeed numbers were as good or even better than all the models launched.

This "Generational Technology" will have to be great to kick my TSR2 out of my bag!

They will if you spine them by floating them in epsom salt.

 

If that fails I suggest infusing them with uranium...
