The new Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver just replaced the GT280 after only one year — and on launch day, we found out why.
Trevor and Tayte hit their drivers and 3 woods for baseline numbers, then the GTS300 off the tee AND off the deck to see where a mini driver actually fits in an average golfer's bag.
Stick around for the GT280 vs GTS300 head-to-head — and the argument over who gets to keep the only one we have.
In this video we review the brand new 2026 Titleist GTS300 Mini Driver on the launch monitor. We compare its ball speed, launch, and dispersion to our gamer drivers and 3 woods, test it off the tee and off the deck, and answer the real question: is a mini driver a true 3 wood replacement, or does it earn its own spot in the bag alongside one? Then we put it head-to-head with the GT280 Mini Driver it replaces to see if one year brought real gains. If you're deciding whether a mini driver belongs in your bag for 2026, this is the test.
