RE: Painful warranty process

John M — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 19:22:52 GMT

I echo what Chuck says. My first stop when I've had infrequent issues with Titleist equipment is my local retailer or on-course pro shop. They usually handle things for me. All that said, I’ve never been a fan of the velcro on Scotty headcovers. It just doesn’t hold up well.

Painful warranty process

Renn M — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 13:20:16 GMT

Hey guys,

I recently purchased a Scotty Cameron 11OC putter - 900.00 retail. Love the putter! I am a huge fan and was a bit of a collector. Anyways, recently I have been dealing with warranty for a replacement headcover - the Velcro has failed already after a few months - never had this issue with other Scotty’s but have had friends that did however. I have been given a complete run around to get the headcover replaced. I don’t quite understand why Titleist would make me go through all this just for a headcover - I provided pictures and clearly own the putter. As an aside, the grip is falling apart too - might just be the new chain link version- a buddy has same putter - he got matador grip instead - no issue with grip or headcover. I am pretty frustrated. The easy fix would have been to just send me a new cover and grip. Thoughts anyone? Losing faith here!

New clubs in the bag.

Brendan H — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 18:41:31 GMT

Purchased an entire set of new clubs for the first time in 15 years. 4 wedges p-5 T-100 4 T-150 Driver gts3 and a 7 wood.

Driver finally came in yesterday. Rushed to the course for commercial league, no warm up and first swing with the gts3 with the plastic still on and took home the long drive on that hole.

Last week I took home the kp on the par 3 with a hard to hold green on inter club night which is not my best part of my game.

Wedges are spinning back like i have not seen in a long time.

Super happy with the equipment.

That is terrific news! Glad the newer technology is working out!

RE: GTS delivery time

Thomas Y — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 01:32:45 GMT

Updating today as I received an email letting me know my GTS 3 has shipped. That is faster than I expected, but the SM11 54 F has not yet been updated. I don't need that quite as quickly, though.

Yay!

GTS delivery time

craig t — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 18:21:18 GMT

So I went for my fitting for GTS driver and fairway woods. Ended up ordering GTS4 driver, GTS2 3 wood, GTS3 5 and 7 wood. Ordered 3 weeks now and still no sign, see shops now have them in, a bit gutted not to have received them yet. Anyone else finding the same?

RE: GTS delivery time

Graham B — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 21:51:29 GMT

Ordered my GTS2 5w July 2, and pre-ordered the GTS 300 the day it was released, July 14.. Got a shipping notice for the 300 yesterday (yay!) but still no word on the 5w ...

RE: When to switch to hybrids

Wesley P — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 02:03:01 GMT

I've been golfing for about 10 years now and always had a 4 Iron. Could hit it well, but wasn't always consistent. About 2 years ago my dad got me a 4 hybrid for Christmas and I've enjoyed it ever since. Now I didn't get fitted for it, but I'm not going to complain when gifted something like that. I felt there wasn't a learning curve switching from the iron to hybrid and it has stayed consistent compared to my other clubs (when you play several good rounds and then out of no where you cant hit anything). On the mental side it has given me the confidence to hit out of the thicker grass and I feel like I can hit it well when there's wind.

Now this isn't back by any science, but mentally if you feel confident hitting a hybrid compared to an iron it seems like the move. I've never tried hitting a hybrid below the 4 so I can't say what it would be like to have more ( I have my 3h and 4h), but it definitely will give you more flexibility when you are stuck in places.

At the end of it when it feels good and you mentally feel good why not switch.

When to switch to hybrids

Eric B — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:22:54 GMT

Aging (50) has me considering getting rid of the traditional 3 and 4 iron. I have been playing a hybrid for these clubs and I really like it. Just kind of stings a little when you make the switch. I hit the hybrid much better though. Pride goes out the window if I save a few shots on the course.

Did you take it back to the store where you purchased it with your original receipt or trying to deal with customer service yourself?

RE: Painful warranty process

Barry M — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:00:46 GMT

Velcro is garbage. It was never designed to be durable on any product.
Move to America. We get better customer service.

RE: TSR2 replacement for714 AP2 4 iron

Thomas Y — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 03:56:35 GMT

One of the nice advantages of the Titleist hybrids is that you can adjust loft from 1* stronger to 2* weaker than the static head loft. This will give you some ability to adjust carry distances, but it will still be better to try some different heads/lofts to get a starting point. Generally, hybrids have a slightly longer shaft than the 'corresponding' iron, and this accounts for some of the extra distance from a hybrid. They also tend to launch higher than irons for golfers who don't have a lot of swing speed.

TSR2 replacement for714 AP2 4 iron

GregLarson — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 22:00:22 GMT

Hi, I want to replace my 714 AP2 4 iron with a TSR2 hybrid for 190 - 200 yard range. Originally thinking 4H for 4 iron but I read a 5H would be the equivalent loft. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

RE: When to switch to hybrids

Thomas Y — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 03:39:58 GMT

j22abe is closer than he realizes in his reply. If you notice any of the following:

1. ball speed between clubs varies by less than 4 or 5 mph
2. carry distance increment is smaller than between other, shorter clubs
3. peak height and/or angle of descent is too low to hold a green

then the offending club(s) are simply adding weight in your bag. The solution is usually to go to a larger clubhead/chassis, meaning to try a larger iron head (T150 to T250 to T350), going to a utility iron (if available in appropriate loft), going to a hybrid, going to a higher lofted fairway metal.

My preferred local practice range has Top Tracer at all stations, and it was very easy to determine where things started to bunch up. My longest iron is now the 6, following with a 5 hybrid, a 7 metal, and a 4 metal (which I use primarily from a tee as I can't launch it high enough from the fairway to outcarry the 7 metal but which will give me a longer total distance than it off a tee), and then a driver.

Driver Thoughts - 18 Handicap

Chance M — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 18:52:15 GMT

Love my Titleist irons, wedges and my Scotty but have never hit the drivers and looking to get one. Ideally a used one. What recommendations and what have you liked and why?

RE: Driver Thoughts - 18 Handicap

Thomas Y — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 03:30:17 GMT

Adding to Barry and Chuck's fitting thoughts, I strongly suggest doing it outdoors so that ball flight can be observed. I am not a big fan of hitting into a net and letting the monitor tell me what is happening even though the current launch monitors present useful information. A true fitting professional might also be able to give you some information about what your swing is doing or might need adjusting to maximize a new to you driver. It will be difficult, though, to get a fitting for a prior generation product as most fitters return the obsolete models once new ones are introduced.

So many times, I see golfers tell the fitter what they want/need. Most of the time, the fitter will be able to show the golfer what performs best and why. Trust an experienced Titleist fitter. They go through a strong training program to help dial in the variables of the new products.

I can understand the notion of saving substantial $$ with a pre-owned or demo club. You may or may not find one that suits your specs (shaft, primarily). If you spend more for a new/current model driver, you won't shouldn't need to upgrade for at least a couple of generations (WANT to upgrade is a totally different topic!).

Good fortune to you!

RE: GTS delivery time

Thomas Y — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 03:05:22 GMT

I just entered an order through this site and saw a message at the end which told me the same thing. Maybe the process will go quickly and smoothly so that orders can be processed a bit more quickly. End of August seems so, so far away ...

Make clubs for juniors because lots of juniors are trying to get into Golf for a young age to play and there aren’t many good cops out there for juniors

RE: GTS delivery time

Jay C — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 17:33:28 GMT

Just an FYI for anyone with orders in process or about to be placed.....Did a fitting last week and the fitter said Titleist is shutting down all of their production for 2 full weeks in order to implement/upgrade a bunch of their process software.....so ship times for almost all orders are about 4-5 weeks right now. At least that's what I was told last week....I think the fitter said his system said "35 days"

RE: When to switch to hybrids

Frank P — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 15:05:09 GMT

Never found a hybris that I liked. I prefer high lofted fairway woods such as a 7 & 9 wood.

RE: When to switch to hybrids

Amanda S — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 03:02:27 GMT

i had been playing with a 3/4 iron for a long time. Then the first time i got fitted, they recommended a hybrid and i was smart and took their advice and it’s been an amazing club. especially when hitting an errant t shot into some tough rough.

New GTS-2

Tommyb1218 — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 01:34:14 GMT

The new GTS-2 is amazing! I find this a lot more workable that my GT-2. My biggest takeaway is the tighter dispersion, which caused me to hit the ball further. Average drive was about 280, but I ended up with a drive of 323 and another drive of 310. This was during a competitive round.

Does anyone have feedback on the fairway woods?

Gts2 swingweight

SBeehler — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:45:53 GMT

Has anyone noticed that the swingweight of an off the rack gts2 is really head heavy? I played a couple rounds with mine and put it on my swingweight scale, it came out to d7 with the project x titan 60 6.0. I thought maybe it was the balance point of the shaft but when I put my ventus black 5s in it only drops to d6. Are these all just that heavy?

Dustin W — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 17:50:15 GMT

Wondering if you carry the T-250 launch spec. Or T-350 in the oil can?

Thanks Dustin

RE: Availability

Don O — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 19:35:44 GMT

As a LH golfer, when the current generation came out, oil can was not in the release. Even Titleist fitters couldn’t get the T250* fitting head. So I ended up with the T350.
I had a GT-1 driver that would balloon far too frequently. Had to try the GTS-2, and it worked. With some extra time, the LH T250* was available. It was a delight to hit, but with the loft between the 8 and 9 T350, the launch, spin, and distance was also between those 2 clubs.

As the rest of my bag has been adjusted for gaps with the T350, the aesthetics weren’t enough for me to spend another grand and possibly change wedges and metal woods to re-gap. I likely would have taken the T250+ if it had been an option with the new release..

If you can still hit a standard loft 5 iron, the T350 maybe a better choice. The loft on the T250* 5 iron is closer to my 7 iron in loft.
