Is this Titleist hybrid the easiest one to hit in 2025?

Built around maximized stability for off-center strikes, the Titleist GT2 hybrid is looking to make your long-game struggles into a strength for 2025

Initially, I’ve struggled with placing the Titleist GT2 hybrid into the GT hybrid line as a whole. As a range, it contains some of the best hybrids on the market, some of the most workable and the most forgiving, but they live at either end of the spectrum with the GT1 and GT3. Like with a lot of things in life at the moment, the focus can go to the extremes without considering what might be a good middle-ground compromise.

Because of the coverage offered by the models, the GT2 has almost seemed like a defunct club to me. The question is, does the reality match my perception and leave this hybrid in a no-mans-land of performance, or is a little bit of everything the perfect recipe for more of us than we think?

Looks, sound, and feedback – 4/5

The shape of the Titleist GT2 hybrid is where a lot of my reservations come from, I think. If you’ve read my thoughts on the GT1 and GT3, you’ll know that if I do use a hybrid then I’m looking for something that sits short and tight like a long iron or will accept something that’s so big that it borders on fairway woods because I can then treat it as such.

The GT2 has a more traditional hybrid look, with a wider front-to-rear section contributing a more bulbous look and (at least what looks like) slightly more offset than its smaller cousin. The gloss black finish and lack of alignment aid do something to assist the club in fitting my preferences, but it’s still not a shape that I’m drawn to.

I understand the purpose of the shape, but it’s just not for me.

That being said, I think I’m the exception here and not the rule; most golfers are not going to have an issue with this head, and from every angle, the aesthetics are super clean and classy, as you expect from Titleist.

Coupled with that, the sound is the same quality of more muted, player-orientated feedback that the company has made with the other GT hybrids, one that doesn’t scream ‘look at me’ but does let you know what’s happened at impact without fail.

Distance and Spin – 4/5

From the distance perspective, there isn’t much to separate the Titleist GT2 hybrid from the GT3 bar a more intimate control of spin in favor of the latter.

That’s not to say that the GT2 lacks performance, it does what it’s supposed to, but the strength of this GT line addition is not in touting another 10 or 20 extra yards like you’ll see in a lot of brands. Rather, the GT2 is designed to go to a distance as consistently as it can so that it correctly fills a space in your golf bag.

I’ve not had a shot on the course where I’ve struggled to find my target (or, at least, not one that I’ve been too far away with) across a range of lies, but if I do want to push for a few yards more to carry a hazard I’m not seeing the extra effort make as much of a difference over something like the TaylorMade Qi35.

I don’t want to say that’s a bad thing though – if I want the extra distance, the point should be that I take another club, not that I try harder with one model.

From a flight perspective, the GT2 can be brought down a touch with a relatively stock swing, but the more forgiving design tends to also mean that the hybrid wants to elevate itself – a positive for most, as that is often why we choose to put one in play. If you’re looking to play around with trajectory though, I’d suggest looking at the GT3 instead.

Forgiveness and Control – 4.5/5

Speaking of forgiveness, this is where the Titleist GT2 hybrid is in its element. It might surprise some to know that, of the three-model line-up, the GT2 offers the highest total MOI (Moment of Inertia) even more so than the GT1.

It’s noticeable. I’ve had the GT2 in some questionable lies (sometimes on purpose, sometimes less so!) to put the help to the test and I’ve struggled to notice many drops in ball speed or height.

In particular, there’s plenty of forgiveness to be found in the heel and toe misses, and that’s without considering the interchangeable weights that feature on the sole. Shots hit high and low haven’t seen spin rates vary much, meaning that you can gain consistency in all conditions whether on softer ground or denser rough where you might hit higher up on the face, or tighter, summer turf where the strike might come down on the face due to firmer baked fairways.

From a control element, I do wish it was easier to change trajectory, but it’s a minor concern and, again, there are alternate options for golfers looking at that aspect. I’ve enjoyed how much of a straight ball I’ve been hitting with the GT2, in fact, with the aforementioned distance consistency a real highlight.

Hitting from distance is hard enough for our left/right dispersion so having something that removes some of the concern of front/back variation is fantastic for confidence.

Technology and Components – 5/5

The Titleist GT2 hybrid can address the side-to-side movement in another way though.

Like the GT3, this model has a heel-toe adjustable weight, allowing for more mass to be centered where the golfer needs it. With the heavier weight in the toe, the head will resist rotating through the stroke, helping to combat a hook as well as reinforcing mishits that come from the same area.

Heel strikes can be protected, as well as more turnover being allowed, via the heavier weight being left towards the adaptor end. There’s +/-6g options to play about with how the head sets up for your needs and preferences, just the same with the returning SureFit adaptor sleeve, giving you 16 different loft and lie positions to choose from.

As always, visiting a Titleist fitter will give you a selection of stock shafts in a variety of weights, flexes, and bend profiles, but there’s a massive selection of upcharge and premium models available in the brand’s catalog that can be installed, from the various Tour AD models (you’ll be familiar with the iconic orange AD-DI, no doubt) to the Fujikura Ventus family that’s dominating Tour-level golf at the moment.

It’s one of the most total selections of any hybrid on the market, so there really is a way to make the GT2 work for anyone.

Final Verdict – 4.5/5

For the right golfer, the Titleist GT2 hybrid is a great selection, and it’s not bad even for the wrong golfer. Ultimately, it does exactly what this kind of club is supposed to do – make the game easier.

The only things that I’ve found to hold it back for my particular golf game are also the details that allow it to be such an easy option to hit – namely, the larger head that allows for the more rearward Center of Gravity, and the consistently high trajectory that results from choice.

But for the player that wants those elements restored, there are other options available, and even then, you could always do a hell of a lot worse than playing a GT2.
