Titleist introduces the all-new GT280, the newest addition to Titleist’s GT metalwood family. The mini driver, designed for distance and control off the tee as well as playability from the turf, leverages generational technology from both Titleist’s GT driver and fairway lineups to give golfers versatile performance at the top end of their bags.

Engineered to be longer and more forgiving than a fairway metal, yet easier to control and more workable than a driver, GT280 gives players an entirely unique set of performance characteristics compared to previous Titleist metalwoods.

Seamless Thermoform Crown
GT280’s clubhead has a titanium body, but it features a Seamless Thermoform Crown made from Titleist's Proprietary Matrix Polymer (PMP). This unique composite helps Titleist engineers achieve critical weight savings, allowing them to strategically position GT280’s centre of gravity to promote ultra-fast ball speeds, high stability and optimal launch conditions. Due to its tunable acoustic properties, the PMP also works to preserve Titleist’s signature sound and feel.

Forward/Aft CG Adjustability
Like the GT4 driver, GT280 has forward/aft CG adjustability, giving fitters and golfers the ability to fine-tune launch conditions and swing weight. A heavier, 11-gram flat weight comes stock in the aft position, with a lighter, 3-gram flat weight positioned forward. Flipping the weighting setup will lower launch and spin for players seeking a more penetrating flight.

Forged L-Cup Face
GT280 features a forged L-Cup face, which is comprised of a new insert that wraps around the bottom of the clubface. Because GT280’s face is deeper than that of a fairway wood, Titleist engineers put particular emphasis on improving performance on  strikes low on the face. The L-Cup design helps retain ball speed, eliminate excessive spin and enhance sound and feel for such impacts, be them from the tee or the turf.

Lower Leading Edge
In addition to GT280’s L-Cup design, the club’s profile and shaping is also engineered to improve performance from the turf. GT280’s leading edge sits low to the ground, and Titleist engineers softened the sole curvature from heel to toe, creating a confidence inspiring look at address and helping to raise strike location on the face. The profile changes also add forgiveness on off-centre or low strikes.
