Titleist GTS2 vs GT2 Driver Review (2025): Is the New Driver Actually Better?
The new Titleist GTS2 driver has officially arrived — but does it genuinely outperform the previous generation GT2, or is this another case of “newer doesn’t always mean better”?
At EP Golf Studios, we put both drivers head-to-head using GCQuad launch monitor data, real golf shots, and detailed custom fitting analysis to find out which Titleist driver actually performs best.
If you’re considering upgrading your driver in 2025, this test may save you a lot of money.
Titleist GTS2 vs GT2: What We Tested
To properly compare the new Titleist GTS2 against the older GT2, we tested both drivers under identical conditions.
Our Driver Testing Included:
Ball speed
Carry distance
Total distance
Spin rates
Forgiveness on off-centre strikes
Dispersion patterns
Shot consistency
Launch conditions
All data was captured using GC Quad launch monitor technology — the same system we use during professional custom driver fittings at EP Golf Studios in Newbury, Berkshire.
Does the New Titleist GTS2 Go Further?
This is the question most golfers actually care about.
The reality is:
Not always.
While the new Titleist GTS2 introduces updated technology and design improvements, the older GT2 still produced incredibly competitive numbers in several key areas during testing.
For some golfers, the GTS2 offered:
Improved forgiveness
More stable ball speeds
Better dispersion
But for others:
Spin increased too much
Carry distance stayed similar
Overall performance gains were minimal
This is exactly why professional custom fitting matters.
Why New Drivers Don’t Always Perform Better
One of the biggest misconceptions in golf equipment is that the newest driver automatically means more distance.
After thousands of driver fittings at EP Golf Studios, we consistently see golfers replacing drivers that already outperform the latest release for their swing.
Driver performance depends on:
Swing speed
Attack angle
Strike location
Shaft pairing
Loft setup
Spin profile
A driver that works brilliantly for one golfer may actually cost another golfer distance and accuracy.
Which Titleist Driver Is More Forgiving?
Forgiveness was one of the most interesting findings in this comparison.
The new Titleist GTS2 appears to offer:
More stability across the face
Better retention of ball speed on mishits
Tighter dispersion on off-centre strikes
However, the GT2 still remained extremely competitive, especially on centred strikes.
If you’re already gaming a GT2 driver, the gains may not be significant enough to justify an upgrade without proper testing.
GCQuad Launch Monitor Testing Explained
At EP Golf Studios, we use GCQuad because it provides some of the most accurate golf club and ball data available.
This allows us to analyse:
Club head delivery
Strike patterns
Launch conditions
Spin efficiency
Distance gapping
Shot shape tendencies
Rather than relying on marketing claims, we focus on measurable performance data.
Should You Upgrade to the Titleist GTS2?
The honest answer:
Maybe.
If your current driver:
Spins too much
Lacks forgiveness
Produces inconsistent strikes
Costs you accuracy
…then the new Titleist GTS2 could absolutely help.
But if your GT2 is already properly fitted and producing strong numbers, the improvement may be far smaller than expected.
The only reliable way to know is through a proper custom fitting session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Titleist GTS2 better than the GT2?
It depends entirely on your swing characteristics. Some golfers may gain forgiveness and consistency, while others may see little improvement over the GT2.
Is the Titleist GTS2 more forgiving?
Early testing suggests the GTS2 is slightly more forgiving on off-centre strikes, particularly in maintaining ball speed and tighter dispersion.
Should I upgrade my driver every year?
Not necessarily. A properly fitted older driver can often outperform a newer model that isn’t optimised for your swing.
What launch monitor does EP Golf Studios use?
We use GCQuad launch monitor technology for highly accurate golf club and ball performance analysis.
