Which to choose

The biggest difference is forgiveness. The GTS4 grows to a 460cc head, up from the GT4's 430cc, and testers call it the most forgiving "4" Titleist has made. The GT4 is the least forgiving head in the GT range, and you clearly feel off-centre strikes. Both are very low-spin heads for fast swingers that give a penetrating flight. At 10° they share a 58.5° lie and a 45.5-inch length.

Sound and looks also set them apart. Testers are split on the GT4's sound and on its compact look at address. The GTS4's muted, refined sound and clean, traditional look go down well. The GTS4 costs more than the model before it, and its low-lofted stock setups can launch too low. Fitting matters for both.

Choose the GT4 Driver if…

you're a consistent ball-striker who likes a compact 430cc head and wants a driver that makes it easy to shape draws and fades.

Choose the GTS4 Driver if…

you swing at roughly 105 mph or faster and want low spin in a larger 460cc head that forgives more on mishits, with an adjustable CG track for fine-tuning.

Common questions

Which is more forgiving?
The GTS4. Testers call it the most forgiving '4' Titleist has made, while the GT4 is the least forgiving GT head, though the GTS4 still gives up more on mishits than the GTS2 or GTS3.
Is it worth upgrading from the GT4 to the GTS4?
It may be if you want more forgiveness, a larger 460cc head and a sound and look that testers like more. Keep in mind that the GTS4 costs more, and its low-lofted setups can launch too low without a proper fitting.
Are these drivers suitable for slower swingers?
Not really. Slower swingers may find the GT4 launches too low and spins too little to carry well, and the GTS4 overview says slower swingers will likely do better with another head in the GTS range. For GT4 players who want more help, its overview suggests the rear weight setting or the GT2 or GT3.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Forgiveness: The GTS4 Gives More Help

Reviewers place the GT4 at the demanding end of the GT range. One called it the least forgiving and most demanding GT head, though its Speed Ring face kept ball speed up better than expected for a small head. Another rated mishits about equal to the GT3 with the rear weight. In testing videos, toe and heel strikes were clearly felt, and one presenter called it not beginner friendly. For the GTS4, one reviewer said it is the most forgiving "4" Titleist has made but less forgiving than the GTS2 or GTS3 with stock weighting. Another found it much improved over earlier "4" models, and adding rear weight tightened dispersion. The larger GTS4 head is the safer pick when strikes stray from the center.

Feel and Sound: Split Views on the GT4

Opinions on the GT4's sound are split. One reviewer heard a quiet, understated crack, and another a solid, slightly muted note. A testing video described it as muted, clean and solid. Another reviewer found it sharp, percussive and higher-pitched, a sound some golfers dislike. Its feel was described as firm and solid, with one reviewer comparing it to persimmon. One presenter found its smaller-looking sweet spot harder work. For the GTS4, one reviewer heard a quiet, mid-pitched pop and felt mishits sounded less harsh than usual. Another praised the sound on centred contact. Both reviewers called it solid and quick from the middle, with mishits easy to feel. The GTS4 drew more consistent praise, while the GT4 divided reviewers.

Looks at Address: 430cc Compact vs 460cc

The GT4 is a 430cc head, and reviewers reacted to its compact shape in different ways. One noted it looks much like the GT3 but slightly smaller in face width and depth, with a subtle weight port and a mostly black sole with a silver accent. In testing videos, one presenter disliked the compact look and deeper-looking face. Another praised the sleek classic shape and matte crown, calling it possibly one of Titleist's best-looking drivers. The GTS4 measures 460cc. One reviewer found its glossy black crown and tall face attractive and clean, though clearly bigger than the GT4. Another liked the face detailing that draws the eye to the sweet spot. Golfers who like a small head will lean GT4, while the GTS4 offers a larger, taller-faced look.

Launch and Spin: Both Cut Spin Hard

Reviewers describe the GT4's launch as mid, low-to-mid or mid-low, with a penetrating flight that one reviewer said handles wind well. Its spin is called very low, the lowest in the GT range. One presenter in a testing video found the low launch and low spin made the ball fall out of the sky at his slower speed. For the GTS4, one reviewer did not specifically evaluate launch, while another considered it difficult for most golfers to get airborne. Its spin is the lowest in the GTS range. One low-spin tester got knuckleball-type shots from it, while high-spin players may gain distance. Both heads cut spin hard, and neither suits golfers who need help getting the ball airborne.

Shot Shape: Both Workable, GT4 More Reviewed

Several reviewers called the GT4 highly workable. They said draws, fades, highs and lows were easy to shape, and one called it nimble enough to bend shots around doglegs. One rated its bias as neutral to slight fade. A testing video noted relatively straight dispersion, since low spin leaves less sidespin on the ball. Only one GTS4 review covered shot shape. That reviewer found it easy to shape and noted that the adjustable CG track and weights can influence shot shape and limit an overly strong draw. The other review did not discuss bias. The GT4 has more reviewer backing for shotmaking, while the GTS4 leans on its adjustable CG track for fine-tuning flight.
