Which to choose

The biggest difference is how they handle mishits. The TSR3 is a low-spin driver for better players, and most testers saw it lose ball speed and distance on heel and toe strikes. The GT2 is built for forgiveness: testers agree its ball speed holds up on toe and heel hits, so misses still travel far and usually stay playable.

Flight differs too. The TSR3 gives a lower, penetrating flight. The GT2 launches mid-high to high and gets the ball up easily. Testers called both feels solid, and both specs list 460cc heads at 10° and 45.5 inches. The TSR3 also has an adjustable rear weight track for fine-tuning shot shape.

Choose the TSR3 Driver if…

you're a low handicapper or a faster swinger (around 105 mph and up) who finds the centre consistently and wants lower spin, a penetrating flight and a weight track to fine-tune your usual miss.

Choose the GT2 Driver if…

you're a mid handicapper or regular golfer who wants ball speed to hold up on heel and toe misses and an easier, higher launch from a player-style Titleist head.

Common questions

Which is more forgiving?
The GT2. Testers agree it keeps ball speed on toe and heel strikes, while the TSR3 drops speed and distance on those misses.
Which launches higher?
The GT2 gives a mid-high to high flight. The TSR3 flies lower and more penetrating, with low spin.
Which suits a faster swinger who strikes it consistently?
The TSR3 is aimed at low handicappers swinging around 105 mph and up who find the centre often. Low handicappers can still make the GT2 work.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Forgiveness: the GT2 Holds Up Better on Misses

Reviewers were split on the TSR3. One article found it improved, with mishits keeping good carry, and one testing video said ball speed stayed strong away from the middle. Others felt its center-focused face rewards only solid contact: heel and toe strikes lost speed, and one tester also saw them curve sharply. On the GT2, every source rated forgiveness as a strength. Several reviewers said ball speed held steady on toe and heel hits, and one article found most misses stayed playable and in the fairway. One tester added that it is not as forgiving as the very high-MOI rivals. Where the TSR3 asks for center contact, the GT2 tolerates a much wider spread of strikes.

Launch and Spin: the TSR3 Flies Lower

Several sources described the TSR3's flight as lower and penetrating, and one tester noted a steep descent that helps the ball check and roll out. On spin, one tester liked that it was clearly lower than the TSi3. Another found spin dangerously low on some toe and heel misses. Most GT2 reviewers saw a high or mid-high flight, and one said it fixed their habit of hitting it too low. One tester did find its flight on the lower side. GT2 spin opinions are split: two sources called it low, while one video noted it ran a touch high but still produced excellent ball flights. Overall, the GT2 tends to launch higher, and the TSR3 is the lower-spinning, more piercing option.

Feel and Sound: Quiet TSR3, Livelier GT2

Reviewers called the TSR3's feel solid, with strong feedback. On sound it impressed most: one article called it the best-sounding driver the reviewer had hit, and one video called it the quietest of the group. One tester disagreed, finding it firmer and crisper than the softer TSi3, with a more metallic crack. GT2 feel was also called solid, with strike location coming through clearly. Opinions on its sound vary: one article heard a loud, sharp crack, another a pure, muted tone, and a third found it livelier than the GT3 but still quiet. Both feel solid, but the TSR3 more often earned praise for a quiet, soft sound.

Shot Shape: Both Lean Left for Some Testers

One article found no built-in bias in the TSR3 and said its adjustable CG allows only a small shot-shape change, not a fix for a big slice or hook. One testing video, however, found it draw-biased: the tester had to open the face, and shots still tended to move left. GT2 views are mixed too. One article saw it draw where the GT3 went straight or cut, and noted it has no sliding weight for correcting a hook. Another tester hit low-left shots until a hosel adjustment gave a more right-biased flight. Others saw no bias, or an easy fade. Some testers saw both drift left, and each offers some way to adjust the flight.
