Title: Tour-Ready Titleist Fairway Wood Shocks the Golfing World with Its Launch
Titleist, a leading name in golf equipment, has unveiled the GT1 3Tour fairway wood, a refined version of their popular GT1 model. This new addition to the GT family is designed to cater to the needs of high swing speed players seeking a more penetrating flight.
The GT1 3Tour fairway wood was developed to provide the benefits of the GT1 shaping while lowering spin for those players. It launches a little lower and with a more powerful ball flight compared to the standard GT1, thanks to a lowered center of gravity (CG) that is positioned closer to the face. This is achieved through a dual adjustable weighting system, which allows players to precisely dial in ball flight and helps produce a lower spin.
The key differences between the GT1 3Tour and the original GT1 include a slightly lower "tour loft" at 14.5°, compared to the standard 15° loft of the original GT1. This design change produces a stronger ball flight. The GT1 3Tour also offers enhanced control over launch and spin for tour-level customization, thanks to its dual weighting system.
The original GT1 is known as Titleist’s highest launching and most forgiving fairway wood, especially suited for slower swing speeds aiming for more carry and distance. The GT1 3Tour, on the other hand, was developed with tour player feedback to retain GT1 forgiveness but provide a lower launching, lower spinning ball flight that better fits advanced players seeking precision and distance.
The GT1 3Tour has already been adopted by multiple PGA Tour players for its blend of forgiveness and ball flight control, highlighting its tour-level performance credentials while still being accessible to amateurs looking for similar benefits. Notable players who have endorsed the GT1 3Tour include Doug Ghim and Cameron Davis on the PGA Tour.
The GT1 3Tour fairway wood is priced at $399/£349 with stock shaft options and $599 with premium shaft offerings. It comes with two standard weights of 11g and 3g, and due to its adjustability, it could be considered one of the best fairway woods for higher handicappers. The GT1 3Tour is designed to appeal to golfers who struggle to launch their fairway woods, particularly off the deck.
The new Titleist GT1 3Tour fairway wood is now available for purchase and fittings on the Titleist US website and select retailers in the UK. The placement of the weights in the GT1 3Tour can be adjusted to achieve a more penetrating flight or increased launch and forgiveness, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of players.
The GT1 3Tour fairway wood, a refined version from Titleist, is designed for high swing speed players seeking a more penetrating flight, featuring golf bags that come with stock shaft options or premium ones. It offers enhanced control over launch and spin for sports enthusiasts, especially golfers who struggle to launch their fairway woods, particularly off the deck.
