Titleist Introduces the GTS300 Mini Driver with More Forgiveness and Versatility

Titleist is expanding its GTS metalwood lineup with the new GTS300 mini driver, a larger and more forgiving option developed with feedback from players including Justin Thomas and Cameron Young.

The new 305cc GTS300 builds on the GT280 platform with a larger profile, deeper center of gravity and adjustable weighting designed to deliver more stability from the tee without sacrificing performance from the turf.

The GTS300 features a 305cc clubhead, placing it between a traditional driver and fairway wood in size. Its larger footprint and deeper center of gravity are designed to improve stability on off-center strikes while maintaining the versatility needed to play it from both the tee and fairway.

“We’re always looking for feedback from the best players in the world,” said JJ Van Wezenbeeck, Titleist’s senior director of club promotions. “Both those players were really excited about GT280 and also had some commentary about potential performance improvements.”

That feedback led Titleist to increase the clubhead volume, reposition the center of gravity and introduce adjustable forward-and-rear weighting.

A Larger, More Forgiving Mini Driver

Titleist increased the GTS300 head volume to 305cc and moved the center of gravity deeper within the clubhead. According to the company, those changes produced approximately 15 to 20 percent more inertia than the GT280, helping the head remain more stable on off-center contact.

“The increase in volume and shift in CG gave us approximately 15–20% greater inertia,” said Stephanie Luttrell, Titleist’s senior director of metalwood development. “At the same time, we still put a premium on versatility and performance off the turf with this club.”

A lightweight composite crown allowed engineers to redistribute mass more efficiently and position the center of gravity to achieve the intended launch and forgiveness characteristics.

Although the GTS300 has a larger overall footprint than the GT280, both models share the same face height. That helps preserve the shallower profile and turf performance of the previous model.

Forged L-Cup Face Supports Low-Face Contact

Like Titleist’s GTS fairway woods, the GTS300 uses a forged L-Cup face with a high-strength ATI 425 titanium insert that wraps beneath the bottom of the clubface.

The construction is designed to preserve ball speed and launch conditions on low-face strikes, an important area for a club intended to be played from the turf. It is also designed to provide more consistent sound and feel on those impacts.

For amateur golfers, the combination of a larger head and improved low-face performance could make the GTS300 useful as both a secondary tee club and an option for long shots into par 5s.

Dual Weighting Allows Launch and Spin Adjustments

The GTS300 features a forward-and-rear dual-weighting system that allows fitters to adjust the club’s center of gravity.

In the stock setup, an 11-gram weight is positioned in the rear of the clubhead, with a lighter 3-gram weight placed forward. This configuration is designed to promote greater stability and forgiveness.

Flipping the weights moves the heavier weight closer to the face, which can help lower launch and spin. Additional weights are available to further fine-tune head weight and performance.

Where the GTS300 Could Fit in the Bag

The GTS300 is designed for golfers who want more distance than a traditional 3-wood but greater control than a full-size driver.

It could serve as a reliable tee option on narrow holes, replace a 3-wood for players who rarely use one from the fairway or provide an additional option on reachable par 5s.

With 13 degrees of loft and a standard men’s length of 43.5 inches, fitting will be important. Shaft length, weight placement and the SureFit hosel setting will determine whether the club performs primarily as a controlled driver, a powerful fairway wood or a combination of both.

Justin Thomas Among the First to Put GTS300 in Play

Justin Thomas was one of the first players to use the GTS300 in competition, adding it to his bag at the Charles Schwab Challenge in May.

According to Titleist, Thomas uses the mini driver on courses where he does not expect to hit many 3-woods from the fairway. It gives him a secondary tee option that travels farther than his standard 3-wood while allowing him to use a longer, 46-inch shaft in his GTS2 driver.

The GTS300 joins a GTS driver lineup that has already gained traction across the professional tours. More than 60 PGA Tour players have moved into a GTS2, GTS3 or GTS4 driver since the models were introduced in March.

Jordan Spieth, Robert MacIntyre and Bud Cauley are among the players using GTS2, while J.T. Poston and Tom Kim have moved into GTS3.

On the LPGA, Lottie Woad, Patty Tavatanakit, Jin Hee Im and Nataliya Guseva are among the players who have added a GTS driver to the bag.
