How to Adjust a Titleist GT Driver: New SureFit Settings & Specs Guide (2025)
The Titleist GT2, GT3, and GT4 drivers share the same 16‑setting SureFit hosel as previous models, but the 2025 lineup adds new head options and weight configurations. To change launch, face angle, or shot shape, follow the procedure below. Start with the settings chart, then move to the step‑by‑step.
Quick Settings Chart
The SureFit hosel adjusts loft and lie in 16 combinations. The table lists the change relative to the head’s stamped loft. Custom 0.5° loft increments are available through a Titleist fitter.
| Setting | Loft Change | Lie Change | Face Angle |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 (Neutral) | Standard | Standard | Square |
| A2 | +0.75° | +0.75° upright | Slightly closed |
| A3 | +1.5° | +0.75° upright | More closed |
| A4 | +0.75° | Standard | Slightly closed |
| B1 | –0.75° | –0.75° flat | Slightly open |
| B2 | Standard | +0.75° upright | Square |
| B3 | +0.75° | +1.5° upright | Slightly closed |
| B4 | –0.75° | Standard | Slightly open |
| C1 | –1.5° | –0.75° flat | More open |
| C2 | –0.75° | –1.5° flat | Slightly open |
| C3 | Standard | –0.75° flat | Square |
| C4 | +0.75° | –0.75° flat | Slightly closed |
| D1 | –1.5° | Standard | More open |
| D2 | –0.75° | +0.75° upright | Slightly open |
| D3 | Standard | +1.5° upright | Square |
| D4 | +1.5° | Standard | More closed |
Standard lofts per model:
– GT2: 8°, 9°, 10°, 11°
– GT3: 8°, 9°, 10°
– GT4: 8°, 9°
Custom lofts (e.g., 9.5°) require a custom order — not available in standard retail.
Step‑by‑Step Adjustment
Tools Required
- Titleist torque wrench (30 in‑lbs / 3.4 Nm) — never substitute
- Loctite 272 (blue) for sole screw only, if needed
- Clean cloth
Procedure
Step 1: Remove the shaft.
Loosen the sole screw with the torque wrench. Pull the shaft straight out. Leave the SureFit sleeve on the shaft.
Branch after Step 1: If the screw feels hard to turn or makes a grinding noise, stop. Do not force it. Inspect the screw head for stripping or debris. If the screw is damaged, do not attempt further adjustments — contact Titleist support or a certified clubfitter. This is your escalation threshold.
Step 2: Set the SureFit sleeve position.
Turn the sleeve so the desired letter and number (A1–D4) aligns with the white indicator line on the ferrule. You should feel a positive click into one of the 16 detents. If the sleeve doesn’t click, re‑check alignment — the setting must be fully engaged. A loose sleeve can cause the shaft to shift during the swing.
Step 3: Re‑insert the shaft and tighten.
Push the shaft fully into the head until it seats. Use the torque wrench to tighten the screw until you hear one click. Stop at one click — 30 in‑lbs is the limit. Overtightening can crack the ferrule or damage the sleeve threads.
Verification step: After tightening, grip the head and shaft and try to twist them in opposite directions. If there is any rotational play, re‑loosen and re‑tighten. If play persists after retightening, the sleeve may be worn or damaged — escalate to a fitter.
Step 4: Check face angle at address.
Hold the driver in your normal address position. The face should appear square for most neutral settings (A1, B2, C3, D3). If it looks noticeably closed or open, you have set a draw or fade bias.
Step 5: Adjust weights (GT3 and GT4 only).
– GT3: The sliding weight track holds an 11g weight. Use the included tool to loosen the track screw, slide the weight toward the heel (draw) or toe (fade), then retighten to 30 in‑lbs.
– GT4: Two 9g weights are in the sole ports. Swap their positions: forward lowers spin, back increases launch and spin. Tighten each weight screw to 30 in‑lbs.
Step 6: Test and evaluate.
Hit at least 5–10 shots with the new setting. Look for the intended flight change. If the result is opposite of what you expected (e.g., you wanted a draw but got a fade), recheck the sleeve setting and weight position before adjusting again. Make one change at a time.
Stop/escalate threshold: If after three attempts the ball flight does not change or the head feels loose during the swing, stop. Do not continue adjusting. Have the club inspected by a Titleist authorized repair center. Persistent looseness or no response to adjustment may indicate a cracked sleeve or stripped thread — both require professional evaluation.
Common Settings (Draw / Fade / High / Low)
| Desired Flight | Recommended SureFit Setting | Weight Adjustment |
|---|---|---|
| Draw bias | A2, A3, A4, B4, D4 | GT3: weight to heel. GT4: hosel change is primary; weight remains neutral unless fine‑tuning spin |
| Fade bias | B1, C1, C2, D1, D2 | GT3: weight to toe. GT4: hosel change is primary |
| Higher launch | A2, A3, A4 (adds loft + upright lie) | GT4: weight to back port raises launch but also increases spin; combine with lower‑loft head if spin is too high |
| Lower launch | B1, C1, D1 (reduces loft + flat lie) | GT4: weight to forward port lowers spin; expect a slight loss in carry distance |
Practical judgment: Lie adjustments also affect face angle. An upright lie (e.g., A2) closes the face slightly, strengthening the draw bias. A flat lie (e.g., C1) opens the face. When combining weight and hosel changes, test incrementally — a GT3 draw with weight heel and A3 may produce a hook if you already have a natural draw swing. Back off to A2 and neutral weight first.
Torque & Tools
- Critical torque: 30 in‑lbs (3.4 Nm) for sole screw and all weight screws. The Titleist wrench clicks at this value.
- Never use a standard Allen key or screwdriver — it can strip the screw or under‑/overtighten.
- Threadlocker: Apply a small drop of Loctite 272 (blue) to the sole screw every 3–4 adjustments if you notice it backing out during play. Wipe off excess. Do not apply to weight screws — they come with pre‑applied threadlocker.
- Tool storage: Keep the torque wrench in the headcover pocket. Do not leave it loose in the bag where moisture or debris can damage it.
- What if the wrench doesn’t click? Stop immediately. The wrench may be faulty or the screw may be seized. Use a different Titleist wrench if available; otherwise, visit a fitter. Do not guess the torque.
FAQ
Can I use the same SureFit setting on GT2, GT3, and GT4?
Yes — the hosel is identical across all three models, so the loft and lie change is the same. However, ball flight will differ because each head has a different center of gravity and internal weighting.
How often should I re‑check torque?
Before every round, especially after travel or temperature changes. A loose screw can alter feel and damage the sleeve over time.
Does changing the SureFit setting void the warranty?
No — the system is designed for user adjustment. Only overtightening or using non‑Titleist tools voids the warranty.
What if I want a 0.5° loft increment not listed in the chart?
Order through a Titleist custom fitter. Standard retail heads only offer full‑degree lofts, but custom orders can include +0.5° or –0.5° from the standard loft.
Will a GT3 weight track fit in a GT2 head?
No — the GT2 has fixed weight ports with no track, and the GT3 track is specific to that model. Do not attempt to swap components between models.
