Which to choose

The biggest difference is launch and who each one is for. Testers found the GTS2 easy to get up, with a high flight and good stability on toe, heel and thin strikes. The GTS3 has a lower, more penetrating flight with less spin. It is built for confident players who hit down on the ball, and testers' most common complaint was that it's harder to launch off the fairway.

The GTS2 has a larger head and suits sweepers. The GTS3 has a classic, deep-faced shape. Both let you adjust shot shape, but the GTS2 has movable heel and toe weights plus the SureFit hosel, while the GTS3 has two sole weights for a mild draw or fade. In the specs listed here, the GTS2 is 13.5° and the GTS3 is 15°. Both are 43 inches long with a 56° lie.

Choose the GTS2 Fairway if…

you sweep the ball or tend to miss low on the face, and you want a forgiving fairway wood that launches easily off the deck.

Choose the GTS3 Fairway if…

you're a consistent, lower-handicap ball striker with a steeper attack angle, and you want a lower-spin, penetrating flight from a classic deep-faced head.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: The GTS2 Flies Higher

Most reviewers found the GTS2 easy to get airborne, with a high flight that still carried forward. One felt it may launch too high for some players. Another said launch at the tested loft was not especially high, although the extra loft helped the ball get up consistently. Opinions on its spin were split. One reviewer called it low, others found it controlled and steady across the face, and one thought it ran high for the loft. The GTS3 got mixed launch reports. One reviewer saw high launch, but two found it harder to get up, with lower peak heights. Its spin was described as moderate by one source and low by others. Overall, the GTS2 was the easier club to launch high.

Forgiveness: The GTS2 Is the Friendlier Head

Every source that tested the GTS2 rated its forgiveness well. Reviewers said the head stayed stable on toe strikes, and thin, low-face hits still launched and lost little distance. One tester's open-face misses still carried well, and one video called it bigger and friendlier than the GTS3. The GTS3 split opinion. One reviewer rated its forgiveness as strong and credited the low, deep center of gravity and composite crown. Another found it less forgiving than hoped on mishits off the turf. A third praised its left-to-right dispersion but rated forgiveness as average, because thin and topped shots lost noticeable distance. Overall, reviewers rated the GTS2 as the more reliably forgiving club on poor strikes.

Feel and Sound: The GTS2 Draws More Praise

Reviewers were positive about the GTS2's feel. They described it as fast and solid, with clear feedback that separates good strikes from poor ones, and one tester likened it to butter even on misses. Most comments on its sound were positive, calling it metallic but not harsh, or deeper than a typical tinny fairway wood. One reviewer noted that heel and toe hits sound duller, and one video gave no clear verdict. The GTS3 was called firm, stable and powerful on good strikes, and one tester found it powerful yet soft. Another found it hard to strike consistently off the deck. Its sound was described as deeper and woodsier by one reviewer and a crisp whack by another. On feel, the GTS2 got more consistent praise, and no reviewer criticized it.

Looks: Big and Inviting vs Classic and Deep

The GTS2's polished silver face and larger head drew praise for making the club look big and inviting at address. Two reviewers described a shallow, low profile. One disagreed, calling the head too deep front to back, like a mini driver. One tester saw it sit slightly open, and another thought it looked slightly toed-in at the A1 setting. Reviewers said the GTS3's silver face stands out against the black crown and helps alignment, and one praised its white alignment lines and classic player's shape. Another liked its size but wanted a slightly shallower face. One reviewer complained that the black finish scuffs easily. The GTS2 looks bigger and more confidence-inspiring, while the GTS3 is the more traditional, player-style shape.
