TITLEISTTitleist GT280 Driver

Silvermere Says:

Engineered with a fusion of innovative materials and precision adjustability, the Silvermere GT280 delivers explosive speed off the tee and versatility from the turf—making it a standout choice for golfers seeking driver-like performance with fairway wood adaptability.

“The design goals for GT280 were multi-faceted,” said Bennett. “GT280 needed to have exceptional distance and speed off the tee, it needed to perform from the turf, and it needed to offer adjustability for fitting purposes. That’s a long list of demands, but we approached the challenge by building off both our GT driver and fairway platforms.”

Seamless Thermoform Crown

• GT280’s clubhead has a titanium body, but it features a Seamless Thermoform Crown made from Titleist's Proprietary Matrix Polymer (PMP). This unique composite helps Titleist engineers achieve critical weight savings, allowing them to strategically position GT280’s centre of gravity to promote ultra-fast ball speeds, high stability and optimal launch conditions. Due to its tunable acoustic properties, the PMP also works to preserve Titleist’s signature sound and feel.

Forward/Aft CG Adjustability

• Like the GT4 driver, GT280 has forward/aft CG adjustability, giving fitters and golfers the ability to fine-tune launch conditions and swing weight. A heavier, 11-gram flat weight comes stock in the aft position, with a lighter, 3-gram flat weight positioned forward. Flipping the weighting setup will lower launch and spin for players seeking a more penetrating flight.
• “What we saw with our tour players, some were only looking for performance off the tee – this is like a second driver to them,” said Bennett. “Other ones were really interested in performance off the turf. So having these two CG options to adjust is going to be very valuable in both tour and amateur fittings depending on player needs.”

Forged L-Cup Face

• GT280 features a forged L-Cup face, which is comprised of a new insert that wraps around the bottom of the clubface. Because GT280’s face is deeper than that of a fairway wood, Titleist engineers put particular emphasis on improving performance on strikes low on the face. The L-Cup design helps retain ball speed, eliminate excessive spin and enhance sound and feel for such impacts, be them from the tee or the turf.

Lower Leading Edge

• In addition to GT280’s L-Cup design, the club’s profile and shaping is also engineered to improve performance from the turf. GT280’s leading edge sits low to the ground, and Titleist engineers softened the sole curvature from heel to toe, creating a confidence-inspiring look at address and helping to raise strike location on the face. The profile changes also add forgiveness on off-centre or low strikes.
• “We took the leading edge of a typical driver and really dropped it closer to the turf,” said Bennett. “That’s been one of the first things players have noticed when they set it down at address. It looks more inviting to hit off the turf than a club with its face depth typically would.”

GT280 SPECS

• Loft: 13.0 (RH and LH)
• Clubhead volume: 280cc
• Standard lengths: 43.5” (Men’s), 42.5” (Women’s), 41.5” (Junior)
• Standard lie: 56.0
• Weight options: 11 Gram (Aft) / 3 Gram (Forward), with +6, +4, +2, -2, -4, -6 options
• SureFit Hosel

Note: GT280 is compatible with Titleist’s Fairway SureFit sleeve. Due to the GT280’s longer hosel, a 43-inch fairway shaft (stock 3-wood length) plugged into a GT280 clubhead will play a half inch longer at 43.5 inches.
