Titleist Enters The World of Mini Drivers with the GT280

Whether you're chasing consistency off the tee or looking for a club that can confidently bridge the gap between driver and fairway wood, Titleist’s latest innovation could be exactly what you need. Introducing the Titleist GT280 Mini Driver—a compact powerhouse that delivers distance, control, and versatility like never before.

The Best of Both Worlds

The GT280 is designed to be your go-to club whether you're launching it from a tee or attacking a green from a tight fairway lie. With a 280cc head, it sits perfectly between a traditional driver and a fairway wood—offering the length you want without sacrificing the control you need. This “mini driver” isn’t just a smaller driver—it’s a different kind of weapon entirely.

Key Features of the GT280 include:

  • Multipurpose Power from tee or turf

  • Flatter Sole for playability from tight lies

  • Player-Preferred Shape for confidence at address

  • SureFit Adjustability for optimal ball flight

  • Signature Titleist Sound and Feel

Built for Versatility and Control

What sets the Titleist GT280 apart is its new forged face insert, engineered to enhance performance on low-centre strikes—especially helpful when hitting off the deck. The face design wraps around the bottom of the club to preserve ball speed and maintain ideal launch conditions. The result? Long, straight shots whether you’re on the tee box or trying to reach that Par 5 in two.

Players who struggle to find consistency with their driver or feel limited by their 3-wood will appreciate the GT280’s blend of forgiveness and shot-making control. It’s especially ideal for courses with narrow landing areas or windy conditions where control matters just as much as distance.

Who’s It For?

The GT280 is built for golfers who want a multipurpose option in the bag—something reliable off the tee, but also versatile enough to play from the fairway. Whether you're a confident ball-striker or someone looking for extra forgiveness on low-face hits, this club was made to add a new weapon to your long game.

Usage Scenarios:

  • Not finding the fairway with your driver? The Titleist GT280 Mini Driver offers a tighter dispersion pattern.

  • Need a club that you can hit off the turf with confidence? The flatter sole helps launch it clean from tight lies.

  • Playing a short Par 4 or a barely reachable Par 5? The GT280 brings aggressive strategy into play.

First Impressions

While there aren’t any user reviews available just yet, early feedback from Titleist insiders and gear reviewers is overwhelmingly positive. The sound and feel are classic Titleist—solid, crisp, and confidence-inspiring. And players love the clean look at address, with the compact shape giving it a players’ club vibe while still offering plenty of forgiveness.
