Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver Review (vs the GT280)<\/h1>\n
\n
\n
Quick Verdict<\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n
At \u00a3499, 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 (\u00a3459) is still a great option. Backed by our 60-Day Returns Policy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> or our golf driver<\/a> collection anytime.<\/p>\n

What’s New on the Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver<\/h2>\n

Here is what the GTS generation brings to the mini driver over the GT280.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Larger 300cc Head<\/h4>\n

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

\n

Full Thermoform Body<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Split Mass Frame<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Power Off Tee & Deck<\/h4>\n

Built for multipurpose power and control: playable and powerful off the tee, and capable of massive distance off the deck from tight fairway lies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Forged L-Cup Face<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 15th Club<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

GTS300 vs GT280: Head to Head<\/h2>\n

Both are excellent mini drivers; the Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver is the newer, more forgiving option. Here is how they compare.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Still a Great Option: the GT280<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n
