Not only did we get a glimpse of the new GT280 mini driver, but it looks like Titleist quietly put the next GT driver on the USGA conforming List. The GT1 is the latest driver in the GT line to hit the conforming list and from what we know about previous TSi1 and TSR1 drivers, this should be the highest-launching and spinning driver in the line.

We don’t get much from the black and white photos on the USGA’s list but we can see that the sole of the GT1 is clean and there looks to be a single weight in the back of the driver. The sole looks similar to the rest of the GT line with minimal markings and a smooth overall profile. The center of the sole, near the back, might have a little more taper to it in order to move more weight deep in the head. The rear weight looks to move even more weight back and this would help make the GT1 a very forgiving yet higher spinning head compared to the GT2 & GT3 drivers. There is of course the Sure Fit hosel for added adjustment but that is about all we can see from just the sole of the club.

Titleist made the GT1 fairway a little more interesting from what we can see in the photo. Instead of a single, rear weight like the TSR1 fairway had, we get two movable weights. The GT1 fairway setup looks like a small GT4 driver with a forward and rear weight for adjustment. Typically GT1 products are built for high launch and a forward weight usually does the opposite. I would guess that this dual-weight design will allow a wider range of players, not just players who need high launch, to fit into the GT1. The other interesting thing is the 14.5 degrees of loft on this fairway. Again, for the player who needs launch and spin you would think the 3-wood would have more than 15 degrees of launch but there must be something in the design that allows this fairway to still get the ball up in the air with ease.

Like its fairway sibling, the GT1 hybrid has some interesting things from first glance. I am a little surprised to see two movable weights on the sole of this hybrid but like the fairway this should allow more golfers to put this in play. I am willing to bet that a heavy weight in the rear position will launch the ball high and add some spin while the forward position should do the opposite for a golfer who can elevate the ball. The hybrid looks to have a larger footprint like the TSR1 hybrid but maybe not as large or rounded.

Titleist isn’t giving out any official details on the GT1 woods yet so everything here is just based on what we see in the conforming list photos. Of course, GolfWRX will bring you more details as we have them!
