The Awesome Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver – Full Review

By on July 14, 2026

Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver Review (vs the GT280)

Quick Verdict
The new Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver is the natural upgrade to the outgoing GT280, adding a larger, more forgiving 300cc head and a full thermoform body for more speed, stability and easy launch, without losing that mini-driver versatility.
At £499, it slots neatly between your 3-wood and driver, delivering power and control off the tee and surprising distance off the deck, so it feels like adding a 15th club to the bag. If you prefer the more compact 280cc head, the GT280 (£459) is still a great option. Backed by our 60-Day Returns Policy.

Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver

300cc mini driver · the 15th club in your bag

The GTS300 brings Titleist’s latest GTS technology to the mini-driver category. A larger, more forgiving 300cc head, a full thermoform body and the Split Mass Frame combine to push weight back for stability and forward for speed and launch, so you get power and playability off the tee and big distance off the deck.

Mini drivers have quietly become one of the most useful clubs in golf, giving you more control than a driver and more length than a 3-wood, from both the tee and the fairway. Titleist’s new Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver is the latest and, in our view, the best yet, replacing the popular GT280. In this review, our PGA professional team explains what has changed and whether the upgrade is worth it.

The headline is that the GTS300 moves the mini driver on in two key ways: a bigger, more forgiving 300cc head (up from the GT280’s 280cc), and a full thermoform body rather than just a thermoform crown, which frees up more weight for Titleist to position for stability and speed. You can explore the wider Titleist range or our golf driver collection anytime.

What’s New on the Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver

Here is what the GTS generation brings to the mini driver over the GT280.

Larger 300cc Head

A blarger300cc head (up from 280cc) makes the GTS300 more forgiving and confidence-inspiring at address, while keeping its compact, versatile mini-driver shape.

Full Thermoform Body

While the GT280 uses a thermoform crown, the GTS300 uses a full thermoform body made from a light matrix polymer, saving even more weight to improve repositioning for performance.

Split Mass Frame

The Split Mass Frame pushes mass back for increased stability and forgiveness and forward for optimised speed and launch, the best of both worlds in one head.

Power Off Tee & Deck

Built for multipurpose power and control: playable and powerful off the tee, and capable of massive distance off the deck from tight fairway lies.

Forged L-Cup Face

A forged L-Cup face and tailored sole design improve performance on low-centre strikes, so you get clean launch and speed even when you catch it slightly thin.

The 15th Club

So versatile, it feels like adding a 15th club to the bag, ideal for tight driving holes, long par 3s and reaching par 5s in two.

GTS300 vs GT280: Head to Head

Both are excellent mini drivers; the Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver is the newer, more forgiving option. Here is how they compare.

The Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver is the newer, more forgiving choice; the GT280 remains a great option for golfers who prefer a more compact 280cc head. Tip: scroll the table sideways on mobile.

Still a Great Option: the GT280

The outgoing GT280 is still an excellent mini driver, and while stock lasts, it can be a smart buy. Its more compact 280cc head suits golfers who prioritise workability and control over outright forgiveness, and it shares the same versatile mini-driver DNA, sitting between your 3-wood and driver.

Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver FAQs

What is the difference between the GTS300 and GT280?

The Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver is the newer, larger and more forgiving mini driver.

It has a 300cc head (up from 280cc), a full thermoform body rather than just a thermoform crown, and the Split Mass Frame that pushes weight back for stability and forward for speed. The GT280 is more compact and workable, so the GTS300 is the pick for forgiveness, while the GT280 suits control-focused players.

What is a mini driver and when do I use it?

It is a compact driver that sits between your 3-wood and driver.

A mini driver gives you more control than a driver and more length than a 3-wood, off the tee and from the fairway. It shines on tight driving holes, long par 3s and reaching par 5s in two, which is why many golfers treat it as a 15th club.

Is the Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver more forgiving than the GT280?

Yes, the larger 300cc head and full thermoform body make it more forgiving.

The extra size and smarter weighting increase stability on off-centre hits, while the forged L-Cup face helps low-centre strikes launch cleanly. If you want maximum forgiveness in a mini driver, the GTS300 is the one.

Can I hit the Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver off the fairway?

Yes, it is designed to power off both the deck and the tee.

The forged L-Cup face and tailored sole are built for tight fairway lies so that you can launch it cleanly for big distance on long par 4s and par 5s, not just off the tee.

What loft and grip does the Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver come with?

It comes in a 13° standard loft with a Titleist Universal 360 grip.

The standard length is 43.5 inches with a 56° lie, and it is fully custom-fit, so our PGA team can dial in the right specs for your swing.

Where should I buy the Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver?

You can buy it from The Golf Shop Online, an authorised Titleist retailer.

That means a 100% genuine, custom-fit driver built to your specification, with expert PGA advice, free UK delivery and our 60-Day Returns Policy. Order it on our GTS300 product page or call our team on 0800 3681097 for fitting help.

The Verdict

The Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver is a genuine step forward for the mini driver. By growing the head to 300cc and moving to a full thermoform body with the Split Mass Frame, Titleist has made it more forgiving and more stable while keeping the versatility that makes a mini driver so useful off the tee and the deck. It is the one we would choose over the outgoing GT280 for most golfers, though the GT280 remains a smart pick for those who want a more compact, workable head or a saving while stock lasts. Either way, you are buying a conforming club that meets the standards set by The R&A.
