Our take Our assessment (based on published specs)
2 min read
The CG track is gone, and the price is the same $399. Titleist sold the GT3 fairway as the adjustable one: a five-position CG track that a fitter could move. The GTS3 has a movable weight but no track — Titleist does not list one. You are paying the same $399 for a club that gives a fitter one fewer axis to work with. Both numbers are Titleist's own published prices, which makes this the rare comparison where the money is not a guess.
What you get back is a fourth loft. The GT3 is listed in 15°, 16.5° and 18°. The GTS3 adds 21°. If you want a 21° fairway in Titleist's low-spin head, that club now exists and did not before.
Head volume is published on one side only: 177 cc for the GT3, nothing for the GTS3. On a head Titleist describes as more compact with a deeper face, that omission matters, and we are not going to estimate it.
Lie tightens slightly, 56.5° to 56.0°. Length is unchanged at 43.0". Both carry an adjustable hosel whose degree range Titleist does not publish for either club. Both right and left handed. The stock shaft menu is four deep on both — Project X Denali Red, Tensei 1K Blue, HZRDUS Black 5th Gen and Tensei 1K Black on the GT3; Project X Titan Black and three Tensei 1K RIP options on the GTS3 — so neither is the restricted one.
The claims moved toward the steep player: Titleist profiles the GT3 as mid-launch, low-spin with a fitter's track, and describes the GTS3 as a deeper face and compact shape for steeper, downward strikes, with a forged L-Cup face said to hold ball speed when the club catches turf first.
Our read: keep the GT3 unless you want the 21°. Losing the track on the model whose selling point was the track, at an identical $399, is not an upgrade — it is a different club aimed at a steeper swing.
