Golfers in Japan are in for a treat as Titleist Japan unveils the GT1 driver, fairway metal, and utility metal, set to hit shelves on February 21, 2025. Designed for players seeking higher swing speeds and effortless performance, the GT1 lineup introduces innovative technologies and materials that redefine lightweight golf club engineering. Here's a closer look at the key features and benefits of each club in the new GT series.

GT1 Driver

The GT1 driver’s ultra-lightweight design is all about speed and trajectory. Its engineering promises consistent, high-carry distances and optimal forgiveness, making it a go-to choice for players looking to improve swing speed without sacrificing control.

Performance Benefits:

  • Advanced lightweight design boosts club speed.

  • High initial velocity is maintained even on off-center hits.

  • A confidence-inspiring sound and feel.

  • Optimized center of gravity ensures a consistent high trajectory.

  • SureFit CG weighting enhances launch conditions.

Technological Highlights:

  • Ultra-Lightweight Design: With a lighter shaft and grip, players achieve faster swings and optimal launch conditions.

  • Seamless Thermoform Crown: Made from a groundbreaking polymer material, this crown reduces weight, maintains classic Titleist sound, and offers a clean address view.

  • Split Mass Construction: Weight redistribution enhances speed, spin, and stability with the deepest center of gravity among GT models.

  • Speed Ring VFT Face: Titanium reinforcements on the clubface perimeter deliver explosive ball speeds on center hits while retaining forgiveness on off-center strikes.

  • Next-Generation Aerodynamics: Refined crown curvature and sole shaping improve clubhead speed.

Specifications:

  • Loft: 9°, 10°, 12°

  • Shaft: Fujikura AIR SPEEDER Next Gen

  • Grip: GP TV 360 LITE FLAT CAP GRIP

  • Price: ¥107,800 (tax included)

GT1 Fairway Metal

For those looking for increased control and forgiveness, the GT1 fairway metal delivers a consistent high trajectory and improved stability thanks to its deep, low center of gravity.

Performance Benefits:

  • Lightweight design for faster swings.

  • Deeper center of gravity ensures consistent, high trajectory.

  • SureFit CG weighting optimizes launch conditions.

  • Head size, sound, and feel provide security at address.

Technological Highlights:

  • Ultra-Lightweight Design: Lighter components enhance swing speed and launch angle.

  • Dual Performance Control: Adjustable weights at the front and rear provide precision tuning for launch and spin. Standard settings deliver high MOI and stable performance, while an inverted setup reduces spin and increases ball speed.

  • Deepest Center of Gravity Design: This feature maximizes stability and ease of use from any turf condition.

Specifications:

  • Loft: 15°, 18°, 21°, 24°

  • Shaft: Fujikura AIR SPEEDER Next Gen

  • Grip: GP TV 360 LITE FLAT CAP GRIP

  • Price: ¥66,000 (tax included)

GT1 Utility Metal

The GT1 utility metal is a versatile, lightweight club designed for players aiming for the green with confidence. It combines speed, trajectory, and forgiveness for superior performance across various lies.

Performance Benefits:

  • Lightweight build for faster club speed.

  • High MOI ensures consistent performance.

  • Low center of gravity enables a higher trajectory.

  • A wide range of lofts offers versatility on the course.

Technological Highlights:

  • Ultra-Lightweight Design: Engineered for enhanced swing speed and ease of use.

  • High MOI: Offers unparalleled forgiveness for better consistency.

  • Dual Performance Control: Adjustable weights allow fine-tuning of the center of gravity to customize spin and launch. Compared to the TSR1 utility metal, the GT1’s MOI is increased by 5%.

Specifications:

  • Loft: 20°, 23°, 26°, 29°

  • Shaft: Fujikura AIR SPEEDER Next Gen

  • Grip: Titleist Universal 360 GRIP

  • Price: ¥55,000 (tax included)
