What the brands claim Manufacturer claim
3 claims
Titleist GT2
- Titleist markets GT2 as its fast yet forgiving option, holding distance on off-center hits. ↗
TaylorMade Qi4D
- Moving the heavier TAS weights to the rear is said to raise MOI and stability for more forgiveness. ↗
- TaylorMade says its carbon face transfers speed more efficiently than a titanium face. ↗

Our take Our assessment (based on published specs)
2 min read
Both are 460 cc with movable weights, both come in both hands, and they launched at essentially the same price: $649 for your GT2, $649.99 for the Qi4D. The Qi4D is TaylorMade's current driver; the GT2 is no longer Titleist's.
The one fact that changes anything is the loft line-up. The GT2 is sold in 8°, 9°, 10° and 11°; the Qi4D in 8°, 9°, 10.5° and 12°. If your best setting really needs a 10.5° or 12° head, that's a reason to look. Titleist doesn't publish the GT2's hosel range, so we can't say whether your sleeve already gets you there; the Qi4D's is ±2°.
The Qi4D is a quarter of an inch longer as standard, 45.75" against 45.5". TaylorMade says moving its TAS weights back raises MOI and that its carbon face transfers speed better than titanium; Titleist pitches the GT2 as fast yet forgiving. Neither publishes an MOI to check that against.
Switching brands is mostly a matter of fit and feel, which specs can't settle, so hit both on a launch monitor at a fitting.
Our read: keep the GT2 unless you need a 10.5° or 12° head your sleeve can't reach.
