What each maker claims
Attributed statements. Each maker is describing its own product, not the other one.
Titleist GTS2 Fairway
Launch. Titleist lists “High Launch, Lower Spin Performance” for the GTS2 Fairway.
TaylorMade Qi4D Fairway
Adjustability. TaylorMade lists a 4° loft sleeve in every loft and an 8g movable weight on the Qi4D Fairway.
How they differ
Four of the five lofts overlap, so the choice turns on the loft at each end of the range, how each head adjusts, standard lengths and shafts.
Positioning. Titleist says the GTS2 Fairway is “designed for the golfer who wants maximum playability” and its page lists “High Launch, Lower Spin Performance.” TaylorMade says the Qi4D Fairway offers “the perfect blend of distance, forgiveness and playability” and its model comparison rates it “Mid” for both launch and spin. Titleist publishes no equivalent rating, so the two descriptions are not on a shared scale.
Lofts. Both come at 15°, 16.5°, 18° and 21°. Only the GTS2 Fairway comes at 13.5°, and only the Qi4D Fairway comes at 24°. TaylorMade lists its 16.5° (3HL) and 24° (9) as right-handed only. How to choose fairway wood loft covers where each loft fits.
Adjustability. TaylorMade lists a 4° loft sleeve in every loft and an 8g Trajectory Adjustment System weight. Titleist lists “Expanded SureFit Adjustability” and interchangeable heel-toe weights but gives no setting count on the page.
Length. Titleist lists 43 inches for its 13.5°, 15° and 16.5° heads, 42 inches at 18° and 41.5 inches at 21°. TaylorMade lists 43.25 inches for the 3-wood, then 42.25 inches (5), 41.75 inches (7) and 41.25 inches (9).
Shafts. Titleist’s specifications tab lists seven shafts from Mitsubishi, Project X and Graphite Design, and its configurator lists more. TaylorMade lists three: the Mitsubishi REAX 65 FW, REAX 55 FW and REAX 40 FW.
Price. Both makers publish a list price, and the comparison table shows it next to current retailer prices.
Who each one suits
- The GTS2 Fairway, if you want a 13.5° head, heel-toe weights to swap, or a longer list of shafts. Titleist says the GTS3 Fairway in the same family is “built for high launch, low spin, and complete trust.”
- The Qi4D Fairway, if you want a 24° head, a loft sleeve in every loft, or launch and spin ratings to compare across TaylorMade’s range. For the Qi4D Max Fairway, TaylorMade says “Qi4D Max fairway woods are designed for forgiveness with their 200cc head.”
