The Titleist GT drivers and fairway woods are comfortably among the best models I have tested over the past year and so when the new GT hybrids arrived on my doorstep, I couldn’t have been more eager to get out on the golf course and test them.
There are three new hybrids available. The GT1 is a lightweight and ultra-forgiving head aimed at the slower swinger; the compact GT3 hybrid aimed at the better player and the GT2. This is the club of the three that will suit the majority of golfers, combining generous ball speed and distance with forgiveness in a mid-sized footprint.

While I feel as though this hybrid performed well from various lies around the course, including testing from the rough and even fairway bunkers, it was the GT2’s performance from the fairway that was the most impressive and cemented its place among the best golf hybrids released this year.

Most golfers will look to put a hybrid in their bag to replace a long iron and with that you would want to see increased forgiveness, height and perhaps extra distance – at least more consistent carry distances. The GT2 hybrid offers all of that in abundance. This club is perfect for those wanting to still attack greens from a distance thanks to its high-launching face and ability to produce towering ball flights. Holding greens was no issue and when…
