Part 2: Titleist GTS Fairway Woods — GTS2 vs GTS3
This is Part 2 of our 3-part Titleist GTS series. Part 1 covers the GTS drivers, and Part 3 walks you through building your complete GTS setup.
Introduction: The Mid-Game Matters
Your driver gets the glory. Everyone remembers a 280-yard bomb off the tee.
But your fairway woods? They're often the difference between a good round and a great one.
Fairway woods are where a lot of golfers lose strokes — not because the club is bad, but because they're playing the wrong one for their swing. Launch too low and you leave distance on the table. Launch too high and you balloon shots into trouble.
The Titleist GTS fairway lineup is built around this exact problem. Two distinct models — GTS2 (for sweepers) and GTS3 (for strikers) — engineered to match your attack angle instead of fighting it. This guide breaks down which one fits your swing, how they compare, and how to lock in your fit at ParWest Golf in Portland.
If you haven't chosen a driver yet, start with Part 1: the Titleist GTS driver guide, or see how the GTS line stacks up against the field in our 2026 driver comparison.
GTS2 Fairway Wood: Built for Shallow Attack Angles
The GTS2 fairway is engineered for golfers who sweep the ball cleanly off the deck with a shallow, level, or slightly ascending strike.
If you're a mid-to-high handicapper, or a better player with a moderate swing speed, the GTS2 delivers:
- Forgiving design — A low, deep center of gravity helps generate consistent distance across the face, even on off-center hits.
- High, easy launch — Built to get the ball in the air with minimal effort, ideal for golfers who want the club to do the work.
- Predictable ball flight — Hit it solid and it flies straight and long, with no surprises.
- Deck playability — Designed to make hitting off the fairway natural and repeatable, not a white-knuckle moment.
GTS2 fairway highlights:
- Available in 3-wood and 5-wood lofts
- Larger, forgiving footprint at address
- SureFit Hosel for loft and lie adjustment
- Right and left hand
Who should play GTS2 fairway?
- High handicappers (18+) and mid-handicappers (8–18)
- Golfers with moderate swing speeds
- Sweepers: golfers who strike level or slightly ascending off the deck
- Anyone upgrading from an older fairway who wants forgiving, easy-to-hit performance
GTS3 Fairway Wood: Optimized for Steep Attack Angles
The GTS3 fairway is engineered for golfers who strike down on the ball with a descending attack angle.
If you're a single-digit handicapper, a faster-swing-speed player, or someone who naturally de-lofts the club at impact, the GTS3 is your weapon:
- Tour-level adjustability — A CG weighting system gives you control over launch, spin, and ball-flight shape.
- Lower spin — Designed to reduce spin for faster swingers who would balloon a more forgiving head.
- Shot-shaping capability — Workable enough to hit draws and fades on command.
- Descending-strike design — Built to perform when you strike down with forward shaft lean.
GTS3 fairway highlights:
- Available in 3-wood and 5-wood lofts
- More compact, workable footprint at address
- SureFit Hosel for loft and lie adjustment
- Adjustable CG weighting for spin and flight tuning
- Right and left hand
Who should play GTS3 fairway?
- Better players (single-digit to mid handicap)
- Golfers with faster swing speeds
- Strikers: golfers who attack the ball with a descending blow and forward shaft lean
- Anyone who wants Tour-level precision and adjustability in their fairway game

GTS Fairway Pricing & Shafts
Both the GTS2 and GTS3 fairway woods are $399.99 at ParWest Golf, available in right and left hand.
Titleist offers a range of stock shaft options across the GTS fairway lineup (including the MCA Tensei 1K, Project X Denali, and Graphite Design Tour AD families). The right shaft depends on your swing speed and attack angle — slower, smoother swingers usually want a higher-launch profile, while faster swingers benefit from a lower-spin, more stable shaft. If you're not sure which to pick, that's exactly what the free fitting is for.
Building Your GTS Fairway Setup
For High Handicappers (18+)
- Club selection: GTS2 3-wood, or GTS2 3-wood + 5-wood for gap coverage
- Loft: A higher-lofted 3-wood for max forgiveness, plus a 5-wood if you want more carry options
- Strategy: Keep it simple — focus on clean contact and consistent distance, not shot-shaping.
For Mid Handicappers (8–18)
- Club selection: GTS2 or GTS3 3-wood depending on swing speed, plus a 5-wood if you want gap coverage
- Strategy: Pick the model that matches your attack angle. Sweepers lean GTS2; steeper strikers lean GTS3.
For Low Handicappers (0–8)
- Club selection: GTS3 3-wood, with an optional GTS3 5-wood for gap coverage
- Strategy: Use the adjustable CG and SureFit Hosel to fine-tune spin and flight. You know your swing — optimize around it.
Why Pair GTS Fairways with Your GTS Driver
The beauty of the Titleist GTS line is consistency across the bag.
Your GTS2 driver and GTS2 fairway share the same forgiving, easy-launching philosophy. Your GTS3 driver and GTS3 fairway both lean on adjustability and lower spin. They feel like a family because they are.
Can you mix them? Absolutely — a GTS3 fairway pairs fine with a GTS2 driver. But if you get fit at ParWest Golf, we'll build a cohesive long-game setup that maximizes your performance from the tee through the fairway.

Both deliver forgiveness, but GTS2 launches higher and easier; GTS3 offers more precision and control.
