When Titleist launches a new metalwood family, the golf world usually expects a steady evolution of its “Total Performance” philosophy, so I was curious to see if the new 2026 lineup continued on that theme and whether it can live amongst the best golf drivers in the game…
Following the unanimous success of the GT family, we now have the GTS series. The subject of this review, the GTS2, is touted as the stable, high-launching “everyman” model of the range, designed to provide maximum speed and stability.

The headline story with the GTS2 is the advancement of the Split Mass Frame. Titleist engineers have moved more discretionary weight than ever to the extreme perimeters. This was made possible by the new Thermoform Body, which utilizes a Proprietary Matrix Polymer (PMP).
While the previous GT models introduced this material, the GTS2 features a significant jump in its application, utilizing 26g of the polymer compared to the 13g found in the previous generation.
This ultra-lightweight crown allows Titleist to shift mass low and forward for speed, while simultaneously pushing weight back to boost MOI. Combined with the new Speed Sync Face, which features a thicker support structure to optimize COR, Titleist is saying that the GTS range is technically the most advanced it has ever produced.

Visually, there are no surprises. The GTS2 is exactly what you would expect from Titleist. It retains that classic, clean, glossy profile that sits beautifully square at address in its standard setting.
Titleist clearly knows its audience well; there are no garish colors or distracting alignment aids – just a refined, high-contrast face graphic that helps frame the ball nicely.
However, I do have a couple of small aesthetic gripes…
On every test model I received (this one, GTS3, and GTS4), the paintwork around the new silver back port was a little scruffy. In several areas, the black paint had bled onto the silver or pooled around the edges to create some sub-optimal lumps, bumps, and cracking.
For a premium-priced driver, I would generally expect a slightly cleaner finish in terms of the details.
