The Titleist GT2 hybrid is a strong all-around performer. Appealing, moderate sized head. Pleasant sound and feel. Adjustable heel-toe weights provide a notable improvement over the prior model.
Introduction
Complementing the drivers and fairways of the GT woods family, the new Titleist hybrids follow the established 1, 2, and 3 model characteristics. In addition to spin, launch, and performance comparison graphics for each model, the Titleist website also offers brief “best for” descriptions. The GT1 hybrid is best for “moderate swing speed players looking for easy launch and effortless distance from various lies.” The GT2 hybrid is best for “players looking for a higher-launching, more forgiving long-iron replacement.” And the GT3 hybrid is best for “players who prefer a more compact, iron-like hybrid design with a mid/high ball flight and tremendous workability and forgiveness.”
Simple and straightforward right? Well, as Matt Saternus and I both learned during our GT drivers fitting sessions [learn more HERE], there’s no substitute for evaluating clubs in front of a Titleist Fitting Specialist – in my case Joe Butler. Joe not only evaluated performance based on Trackman data, but also factored in conditions where I normally play, my typical misses, and what I’m looking for the club to do out on the course. “On paper” as the saying goes, I should have been a perfect fit for the GT2 – the subject of this review. Was it the best of the three Titleist hybrid models for me? I’ll reveal that in the conclusion.
Looks
Having gamed the Titleist TSR2 hybrid [review HERE] since its release in 2023, I can state the new Titleist GT2 hybrid looks nearly identical at address. The GT2 hybrid appears a bit slimmer from the trailing edge to the hosel, but that’s the only difference my eyes could discern with the clubs sitting side by side. The gloss black, modern rounded wood shape crown has an overall appealing look. You can see how the GT2 hybrid (middle) compares shape wise to the GT1 (left, review HERE) and GT3 (right) in the photo below.
Face on, the Titleist GT2 hybrid is a tad boxier than its predecessor due to a flatter sole. The big visual change to the GT2 is the dual weight ports – more on those in the Performance section. The silver badging down the center of the sole looks really sharp in the bag. And once again, Titleist has crafted a sweet, high end looking head cover to protect the club.
Sound & Feel
The Titleist GT2 hybrid produced a woodsy ‘crack’ that was very consistent even when my impact location wavered. The feedback to my hands didn’t change much either. Strikes felt firm, and the head stable unless I really mishit the ball. I found the statement “more vanilla” in my notes from a driving range session where I also hit the GT1 and GT3 hybrids [GT3 hybrid review HERE]. That will make more sense when those reviews are published, but for now the takeaway is that the GT2 hybrid is pleasant to hit.
Performance
Let me begin this section by saying the Titleist GT2 hybrid outperformed my TSR2 hybrid across the data field. Nothing game changing but gaining a couple of yards with a higher launch and a tighter dispersion is always nice to see. I had long ago removed the 3 and 4 irons from my setup, but otherwise performance matched the Titleist “best for” profile nicely.
Since I mentioned the dual weight ports earlier, let’s start there on new features. By splitting the weights from the previous centered location, the GT2 hybrid design allows for adjusting the CoG. Titleist recommends placing the heavier weight on the side where you typically make contact to maximize ball speed. The weight placement can also be tailored to produce a desired shot shape or fight misses. Joe told me for players who fight hooks, he often places the heavier weight in the toe to slow down face closure.
Moving the weights from center also impacts the MOI of the head. As with drivers and putters, higher MOI equates to more stability and more consistency. The stability was tangible in the feel and the forgiveness plus highlighted by a tight dispersion.
Recall the flatter sole mention under Looks? That’s another purposeful design element Titleist incorporated for improved performance on thin strikes. For a picker like me, that’s a big bonus. I also found the Titleist GT2 hybrid incredibly easy to hit on tight lies – double bonus. The only negative I found with the flatter sole was resistance in long rough.
Conclusion
The Titleist GT2 hybrid showed noteworthy improvements over the TSR2. Whether you’re looking to replace a long iron or an older hybrid, the GT2 hybrid should definitely be on your short list to try. And I can’t emphasize enough the benefit of finding a Titleist Fitting Specialist. With the wide array of shaft offerings, adjustable hosel, and dual weight ports, there are ample ways to maximize performance of a Titleist GT2 hybrid. Did the GT2 go straight in my bag? It certainly could have, yet another Titleist GT hybrid model stole the slot. Stay tuned to find out which one.
