Titleist GT1 Hybrid Review
Sam De’Ath takes the super lightweight Titleist GT1 hybrid onto the golf course to analyze its performance

The Titleist GT1 hybrid is the lightest and most forgiving hybrid in the GT lineup. Its large head and confidence-inspiring looks will be appreciated by golfers seeking forgiveness. The classic look and Titleist feel are matched with solid power, launch and stopping power in a hybrid aimed at slower-swinging golfers.

Why you can trust Golf Monthly

The Titleist GT1 is one of three models in the GT hybrid lineup and has been designed to offer the highest launch thanks to a super lightweight design. Making up the other two models you have the GT3 which sits at the opposite end of the spectrum, providing a more penetrating flight and high levels of workability alongside the GT2 which is considered one of the best hybrids on the market, offering a mixture of forgiveness and power in a mid-sized head.
The first thing that stood out to me when taking the GT1 hybrid out to the course was the size of the head. The footprint is significantly larger than both of its siblings, offering what can only be described as a crossover between a hybrid and a high-lofted fairway wood. While many better players may opt for the smaller, more compact appearance of the GT3 hybrid, I’m someone who loves the look of a larger head when it comes to hybrids.
The Titleist GT1 Hybrid at address
Titleist has done an excellent job in providing continuity with the looks of the GT range, all the way from the drivers, through to fairway woods and then onto the three hybrids. The GT1 appears marginally different on the sole compared to the other two models due to front and back weight ports as opposed to the ones situated towards the heel and toe on the GT2 and GT3. This design has been implemented to offer a 5 percent increase in MOI compared to the TSR1 hybrid, providing even higher stability and forgiveness. If you enjoy the appearance of the GT1 but want a slightly lower ball flight with reduced spin, you can flip the 11g heavier weight in the rear with the 5g weight in the front to bring the CG forward or even use the adjustable hosel to change the loft.
The sole of the Titleist GT1 Hybrid
While gathering my data for the GT1 hybrid using 2025 Pro V1x golf balls and a Foresight Sports GCQuad Launch Monitor, I saw it launch significantly higher than the other two models, hitting 12.3° on average. The ball speed remained relatively similar at 146.2mph on average, just under 1mph slower than the GT2. However, from scanning my data it was the 45.2° descent angle that caught my attention and was clearly the main reason I found this club to be so efficient when striking the ball from the deck and playing into the green.
The lower and further back CG increases the launch with this club and therefore I saw an extremely high ball flight with plenty of spin, perfect for those golfers who may have a slightly slower swing speed or just want maximum height and launch when hitting their hybrids from the deck. For me, the GT1 should be considered one of the best hybrids for higher handicappers as well as one of the most forgiving hybrids on the market due to how well it then performed from the rough.
The bright score lines on the face of the Titleist GT1 Hybrid
After testing the GT1 hybrid both indoors on one of the best launch monitors as well as out on the golf course, I can see the appeal of this club and why it could be a savior for those wanting a lightweight head that offers plenty of leeway on mishit shots. At $329/£299, the GT hybrids are premium priced but if you’re in the market for a new hybrid that’s versatile and user-friendly, I believe the GT1 is worth considering.
