Which to choose

These two are close relatives, and the biggest difference is generation. The 2022 TSR4 and the 2024 GT4 are each the low-spin, compact model in their Titleist family. The published 10° specs match exactly: a 430cc head, a 58.5° lie and a 45.5-inch length. Reviews of the TSR4 focus on its two movable sole weights, which let you trade a little spin for stability or cut spin further.

Reviews of the GT4 focus more on how it plays. Testers say it has a low-to-mid, penetrating flight that holds up in wind, is easy to shape and keeps ball speed slightly better than expected on mishits. Testers split on how forgiving the TSR4 is and on how both drivers sound. Both need a fitting.

Choose the TSR4 Driver if…

you're a consistent low-to-mid handicapper who wants to cut spin and fine-tune the balance of spin and stability with two movable sole weights, and you're happy with a stout stock shaft.

Choose the GT4 Driver if…

you're a fast-swinging low handicapper who wants the newer low-spin head, with a flight that holds up in wind and a head that's easy to shape draws and fades with.

Common questions

Which is more forgiving?
Neither driver is built for forgiveness. Testers split on the TSR4, with some finding it kind on heel strikes and others saying it needs near-perfect contact, while the GT4 is the least forgiving GT head but holds ball speed a little better than expected on off-centre hits.
Are the specs different?
No. At 10°, both have a 430cc head, a 58.5° lie and a 45.5-inch length.
Are both aimed at players who spin the ball too much?
Yes. The TSR4 suits players who want a lower, more penetrating flight, and the GT4 is built for golfers who need to bring spin down, especially fast swingers.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: The GT4 Is More Reliably Low

Reviewers described the TSR4's flight as low and penetrating. One tester saw the lowest launch of the drivers she tested that day, while another called it mid launch when struck well. Opinions on spin were split. Two reviewers called it low or very low spin. One tester found spin varied widely on mis-strikes, and one testing video said it was not as low as expected, crediting the shaft and head combination for most of the low-spin effect. GT4 reviewers called it very low spin, the lowest in the GT range, with a mid-low to low-to-mid penetrating flight. One testing video felt it launched too low for a slower swinger. Low spin was reported more consistently for the GT4 than for the TSR4.

Forgiveness: Split on TSR4, Modest on GT4

Reviewers split on the TSR4's forgiveness. One tester said misses were costly and the head demands near-perfect contact. Another found it better than expected for a 430cc head but less stable on poor swings than the TSR2. One reviewer rated it highly, and so did one testing video, with heel strikes still producing decent results. Every GT4 review noted limited forgiveness. One called it a player's head, and one testing video said toe and heel mishits are clearly felt. One reviewer still found ball speed held up better than expected for a small head, and another rated mishits a little better than on the TSR4. Overall, the GT4 drew more consistent criticism on forgiveness.

Feel and Sound: Split Views on Both

For the TSR4, one reviewer said the head felt stable through the hitting zone, and another described a light, quick, tap-like impact with clear feedback on where the ball was struck. Reviewers disagreed on sound: one called it strong and powerful, another quiet. Three GT4 reviewers described the feel as solid, and one compared it to the persimmon era. One testing video found it harder work to get good results from the smaller-looking sweet spot. Reviewers split on the GT4's sound too. Three described it as quiet or muted, but one called it sharp and higher-pitched, a sound some golfers dislike. Both drivers were mostly praised for a solid, informative feel, and both got mixed reports on sound.

Looks at Address: Two Compact Heads

Two reviewers described the TSR4 as compact. One felt it was noticeably smaller than the rest of the TSR range, which may put some golfers off but helps with focusing on center contact. Another described a slightly pear-shaped head with a glossy black crown and called it very attractive despite the two sole weight ports. A third liked its sleek black finish and minimal branding. The GT4 also drew comments about its compact shape. One testing video disliked its smaller look and deeper-looking face, while another praised its matte crown and minimal branding as possibly one of the brand's best-looking drivers. Both heads are compact, but the GT4's looks divided reviewers more.
