The perfect formula
We love that feeling when we pull off a perfect drive.
Picture it now. You step up to the tee with your driver in hand, a lovely open fairway ahead of you. You know exactly the kind of shot you want to pull off and the area you’d like your ball to land. You swing through the ball with confidence and instantly get the satisfaction of watching your ball soar straight and high before coming to rest in the middle of the fairway.
While we might not pull off a perfect drive each time we step onto the tee, a lot of practice will certainly help you hit it well more often. The main thing to consider however, is that your driving won’t improve if you’re not playing with a driver suited to your unique golf swing.
Today we want to help you cover some driver characteristics and consider how they influence your tee shots, as well as walk you through all the fantastic features of the latest Titleist golf drivers.
Launch and spin
There are two main characteristics that determine how your ball flies when you strike it with a driver: launch and spin. In order to achieve max distance with a nice stable ball flight, these two factors need to be optimised together.
If your drive has high spin, the ball will get plenty of height but less distance, and have a steep angle of descent. A drive with low spin however offers a more stable ball flight, making it less likely for the ball to get ballooned around in the wind.
You want a good distance on your drive, and a good height in your shot to carry that distance, so finding the sweet spot between high launch and low spin is the key to getting the most out of your tee shots.

The latest Titleist golf drivers
We stock the best Titleist drivers for players of all abilities, so whether you’re looking to build greater consistency in your game or hunt down more flags, we’ll have a driver on the shelf with your name on it. There are 4 distinct drivers in the GT range, each with their own unique features.
Descending in numerical order, the GT1 is an excellent club for golfers who have naturally slow swing speeds. This club is constructed from ultra-lightweight components which makes it very wieldy to swing through the air, and easy to build up power with in your golf swing. The GT1 has the deepest center of gravity out of all the GT drivers, giving you exceptional launch and stability as you strike through the ball.
If you tend to slice the ball to the right off the tee, the GT2 will be your tool of choice. This club has a high-MOI design, meaning you’ll be making exceptionally accurate strikes each time you hit the ball. With a variable face thickness pattern across the impact zone, you’ll generate exceptional ball speeds on all strikes. Featuring a split-mass construction, Titleist has created a driver that feels seamless from grip to, to shaft, to head.
If you’re a skilled player with a fast swing speed and you want to get the most out of your tee shots, you’ll feel at home with the GT3 golf driver. This club has the most compact head shape of all the drivers in the range, and the aerodynamic pear shape makes it very easy to swing through the air. The GT3 comes with an adjustable CG track that lets you manipulate the center of gravity, giving you the exact loft set-up you’re looking for on any given shot.
With a smaller head profile than both the GT2 and GT3, the GT4 is exceptionally wieldy and features dual-spin control settings to allow you to choose between a moderate or an aggressive spin reduction. Titleist has even pushed he internal mass distribution further apart while driving CG forward for more spin reduction. This club will give you every opportunity to place the ball exactly where you want to down the fairway.
If you’re thinking of adding a new driver to your bag but you don’t know what you’re looking for, we’re available in the pro shop to help clear up any confusion for you.
