PROS
CONS
The first thing I noticed was that the Titleist GT1 Fairway Wood has a larger 180cc footprint than the other Titleist GT fairway woods. It helps to make it one of the most confidence-inspiring fairway woods on the market. I think the size is reminiscent of the TSR2+, giving players a higher MOI (moment of inertia) and a flatter profile for improved stability.
At address, I found the GT1 sits square and inviting, with a shape that suits both higher handicap players looking for confidence and better players who need a reliable fairway wood. The sound at impact is hot and powerful, a reassuring “crack” that signals an explosive ball speed.
I think one of the most impressive characteristic of the GT1 is how effortlessly it launches. Even on off-centre strikes, the MOI and low centre of gravity ensure high, towering shots with consistent carry distances.
During testing, some of my shots were reaching 90-100 feet in peak height. This allows the GT1 to be an ideal choice for attacking greens on long par-5s. For players who struggle to elevate a fairway wood, this club offers a game-changing solution.
The GT1 is designed for a higher launch with lower spin. Players who need a combination of forgiveness and strong carry numbers will likely be able to feel these benefits the most.
As you can see from the data below, the ball speeds were extremely consistent, even on slight mishits. Spin rates impressively hovered around the 4000 RPM mark, providing great stopping power without excessive ballooning.
Additionally, carry distances averaged around 235-245 yards, with roll-out extending to over 260 yards on solid strikes. This was an extremely positive return for me with a fairway wood.

With the adjustable weight system, golfers can fine-tune launch and spin by shifting weight forward or backward. A heavier front weight enables a lower spin, while a rear-biased setup maximises forgiveness.
One of the most exciting aspects of the GT1 Fairway Wood is its versatility. It excelled off the tee for me as well as from the fairway, and even from the rough. This is partly thanks to its flatter sole design and high-MOI stability.
Players looking for a high-launching, straight-flying fairway wood will love the GT1’s ability to hold its line and maintain consistent ball speeds, even on mishits.
Overall, I think the Titleist GT1 Fairway Wood is a must-try for golfers who need high launch, effortless forgiveness, and maximum consistency. It’s incredibly easy to hit, offers top-tier ball speed retention, and provides one of the highest-launching three-woods in the game.
During testing, it was noticeable that the GT1 stood out as the best option for players needing height, forgiveness, and an easy-to-launch three-wood.
If you’ve been searching for a fairway wood that feels powerful, looks great, and performs under pressure, the GT1 is an absolute winner.

A member of the PGA for 13 years, Jack has lived golf for more than half his life. Inspired by Tiger Wood’s winning putt at the 2008 US Open, an obsession began with watching slow motion golf swings on the internet and reading What’s In The Bag articles in magazines.
Not destined for a life behind the desk in a pro shop, Jack has focussed more on coaching, working closely with regional teams in North Yorkshire and helping golfers of all levels on their journey to enjoying playing the game more. Jack has coached many junior golfers into the county teams, and once worked with a player at the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie.
After letting his game fall apart prior to COVID, Jack rediscovered his love for playing golf after joining Silloth Golf Club in 2020 and whipping round the windy, firm links course. Playing regularly with a half set of clubs he has a passion for shot making and developing skill, and claims to have the sharpest 30-100 yard game in the North of England (only because he doesn’t know anyone in the South), and now maintains a +1 handicap at a club much closer to home, Sand Moor GC.
Jack has always tinkered with his equipment, once building his own Frankenstein one length set of clubs after watching Bryson DeChambeau burst onto the scene after winning the US Amateur. He firmly believes in getting custom fit and is happy to debate anyone about blade irons being superior to any other iron category.
Jack loves: playing quickly, 2 ball golf, match play, heathland courses, pencil bags, foursomes, Tiger Wood’s swing 2005-2009.
Jack hates: buggies, unnecessary trees, giving shots, the 7 iron loft debate, graphite shaft lovers weird superiority complex.
