    Finally went for a proper GTS Fitting at a Titleist Demo day last week. I had benched the GT4 and gone back to the TSR3. Some key takeaways: - As much as I want to think that there's no noticeable improvements from gen to gen, the data couldn't be ignored, I swung GTS4 faster than my TSR3 (same shaft) - There was a discernable 2 MPH ball speed gain and about 6 yards overall. I did hit more than 20 balls with each. - The sound of GTS is way more "thuddy" or "carbony" than any Titleist I've ever hit. I hated it at first, but came to not notice it before too long - GTS4 was a little better out of the heel and low face, and about the same out of the toe for me. - Gonna be an unpopular opinion here, but the price is insane. $980. I have to order a shaft with it, no "head only" option as usual. I've already been fitted into and purchased a $550 shaft that works perfectly in the new head. The free shafts that come with that $980 driver aren't worth $90 on eBay.

    Another great driver from Titleist, but I'm not paying $980 for one. It's good, but it ain't that good.

    Unless there was a significant improvement in dispersion in addition to the improvements you noted, I would have to agree that the 6 yards are not likely worth $980. I know that when I made my last upgrade, my yardage gains were not the main reason for the purchase decision. Finding fairways was key for me and my TSR3 still does that for me. My distance has really dropped this year, but major swing changes are more to blame for that than the equipment :)

    Everyone has to make their own financial decisions based on their own circumstances, nothing wrong with that. I for one do not mind spending $900 for a better driver that will last me at least the next two years until the next release. That’s the equivalent of 18 rounds of golf at $50 each, or 9 dinners out at $100 over two years. I take personal pride in representing the brand I love and it’s a lot easier for me to have those socialization discussions with people I meet on the courses when they see me with our latest offerings. Again, not for everyone but I will not consider myself a brand ambassador and say an upgrade is not worth the money.
