WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The Titleist GTS drivers (GTS2, GTS3, GTS4) each create fresh opportunities in forgiveness, low spin and fitting/adjustability, all made possible by a newly enlarged polymer-infused lightweight carbon shell that covers some 60 percent of the body’s surface area, the most composite material on a Titleist primary driver line in company history. The new construction frees up mass to create unique combinations of increased forgiveness with lowered spin. As has been the case in the past with their numerology, the GTS2 offers the widest footprint with a focus on forgiveness and new front and rear adjustability; the GTS3 uses a five-position weight track in the front of the sole and a newly lowered center of gravity for less spin; and the GTS4 expands to a full 460 cubic centimeters for increased forgiveness to go along with its ultra-low spin focus.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The Titleist GTS fairway woods feature more composite than in past models with the lightweight piece wrapping around the crown to the sole. The saved weight allows for adjustable heel and toe sole weights, two different shapes and face heights and deeper centers of gravity and higher launch vs. previous models.

TaylorMade has been at the forefront of driver technology for almost 50 years. Over that time, it has become famous—or in some cases infamous—a generation ago for introducing multiple drivers at multiple times a year. But that philosophy on driver launches is changing as the company does not plan to introduce a new driver in 2027.

When you’re a chaser, you have to market differently, or maybe just a little more darkly. from GolfDigest

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Tour Edge gets in on the “zero-torque” putter design trend with the launch of its Zero T line of four mallets. Each of the four wide-body, high-stability designs feature a shaft position that joins the head at the location of the center of gravity. The intent is to produce a more consistent putting stroke that requires little hand manipulation to return the face to square at impact.

A century ago, Bobby Jones was making a backup for his legendary Jeanie Deans driver. He sorted through “5,000 pieces of first-grade hickory to find four shafts” that were close. The process was an elaborate exercise of “guess and check.”

On the surface, it seems like wedges are all variations on the same theme, that the differences aren’t necessarily immediately obvious. But if you’re looking for differences in such a precise and microscopically nuanced category, it seems a good place to start would be looking at what players who have a good short game have to say.
