I did not hit the GT3 and TSR3 head to head.
I haven’t made any final decisions about what’s going in the bag.

Enjoyed reading your review. I’m surprised you found the GT3 more forgiving than the TSR3, seeing that the MOI sum in the GT3 is over 10% less than in the TSR3. Did you hit them side by side? GT3 going in the bag? Thanks!

I bit the bullet on a fitting for $100 which ultimately wasn’t planning on buying. I thought about it the entire day and pulled the trigger on a 8 degree GT3 in a Hzrdus black gen 5 60g tx shaft. Only took a week to get to me and tried it today. Easily best investment I’ve made in a while.

I’m generally swing around 105-107. Was in a TS2 at 8.5. went through a fitting and ended up in the GT3 10 degree. Couldn’t believe it but the numbers didn’t lie.

George,

I hit the GT2 and GT3 in the fitting. I tried the GT4, but that’s not for me; I’d barely consider it part of the fitting.
If you have any questions for Meeker, feel free to ask them here and he’ll answer them.

Funny, I’m closer to Matt’s speed than Meeks, and it wants me in that head too. I am guessing the higher loft (I play a Ping at 10.5, flat now) is from me desiring higher launch. Still sticks me in a 1k Black though, lol.

No substitute for an in-person fitting. I like the Titleist ones—I’m very happy with the hybrid I bought as a result of it, and with the fitting process as well. But at $100 (fully refundable with purchase) you either need to be sure that you’re buying that day, or just go be poor somewhere else, lol.

Wow. Both with the higher launch and spin than I’m used to seeing from your reviews, and with the Hzrdous Black (guessing high 60s weight, 6.5?) beating out other shafts you’ve liked more in different reviews?

What other heads & shafts did you try besides the GT2 and 3? Did you try the GT4?

Finally, is Meeks going to give us his impression of the GT3 as well?

Thanks. As always, one of the few great golf review and discussion sites on the Internet.

Branny,

TaylorMade’s website shows the Qi10 driver having a lie angle range of 56-60 degrees. Or are you playing the LS, which does get as flat as 54?
In any case, no, my gamer’s lie angle is 60*, so I didn’t have any issue with starting it left due to lie angle.

Best,

Matt

Scott,

Moving the weight toward the toe promotes a fade; moving the weight toward the heel promotes a draw.
