The Titleist GT2 and GT3 fairway metals got down to construct upon the engineering breakthroughs that launched the GT driver line to nice responses from professionals.
As you’d anticipate from Titleist they ship distinctive efficiency from materials and building developments.
The brand new GT fairways supply lightning fast speeds, increased flight, optimum spin and longer carry in two distinctive fashions.
The road guarantees complete efficiency each off the tee and into the inexperienced.
“A line of high-performing fairway metals must excel in a variety of other ways,” mentioned Stephanie Luttrell, Director, Titleist Metalwood Product Growth.
“For many golfers, fairway metals have to be extremely versatile. They have to be quick and lengthy off the tee, and they should fly excessive and maintain greens. Playability and forgiveness are vastly vital as effectively. The modifications we made to GT fairways assist ship throughout all these efficiency attributes.”
The GT2 and GT3 fairway metals each characteristic all-new constructions, starting with their Seamless Thermoform Crown, created from Titleist’s Proprietary Matrix Polymer.
The proprietary matrix polymer’s acoustic qualities produce the trademark Titleist sound and really feel, whereas the crown preserves the enduring Titleist look.
As with the GT driver line, the ultra-light crown on GT2 and GT3 fairways enable for the redistribution of discretionary mass, resulting in optimized centre of gravity positions.
“We had very bold CG targets for each fashions, and the one approach we had been going to get the CG the place we needed it was by means of the multi-material crown,” mentioned Bennett. “That discretionary weight allowed us to considerably enhance launch in each fashions, drop spin significantly in GT2 and maintain spin low in GT3.”
The result’s increased flight with comparable or decrease spin and quick speeds in each fashions. A brand new L-Cup Face improves efficiency on low affect photographs, and refined shaping on every mannequin offers gamers two distinct choices to select from.
“Step one in our course of after we flip to designing the following era of a product line is Tour suggestions,” mentioned Tom Bennett, Titleist Golf equipment’ Principal Product Supervisor.
“We get plenty of enter from J.J. [Van Wezenbeeck, Titleist’s Senior Director of Club Promotions] from his work with Tour gamers. With GT fairways, our main path was to raise the flight, however not the spin.”
The GT fairway metals are particularly designed to enhance efficiency on strikes low on the face. A brand new insert wraps across the backside of the membership to protect ball pace, get rid of extreme spin and improve sound and really feel.
“For the L-Cup Face, we used Solid 465 Stainless Metal, one of many strongest steels that exists,” mentioned Bennett. “The resiliency of the face materials permits us to go actually skinny with our L-Cup Face, which retains ball pace excessive on low impacts. It additionally comes with higher really feel: Tour gamers have mentioned that their skinny photographs don’t really feel fairly as sharp.”
