It’s no secret that there are more great options for golf equipment than ever before.

So much so that when GOLF Fully Equipped co-hosts Kris McCormack and Wadeh Maroun were breaking down the clubs they play in their bags, they each have far more than just 14 to choose from.

“This year has probably been, in my mind, the best year for gear in a long time,” Maroun said. “In regards to like drivers for me, this is the first year where I’ve actually changed my driver.”

Maroun said he’s gone from playing a four-year-old TaylorMade SIM to playing first a Ping G430 Max 10k and currently a Titleist GT3.

Meanwhile, McCormack is gaming a Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max, but also said the top of his bag is a “revolving door” that can change based on how his body feels.

“There is so much good gear out there this year,” he said. “Like, it’s crazy. It’s crazy how much everything is good in different ways, too. That’s the thing, it’s all in a different way.”

He mentioned how he loves the TaylorMade Qi10 because of how forgiving it is off of toe strikes and then he also pointed out the Titleist GT3, which had its center of gravity characteristics changed to get farther away from the GT2 model.

GT3 – Speed-Tuned Distance & Control
GT3 offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization. With a speed-tuned design that allows you to precisely match performance to your most frequent contact location, you can make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.
For players with a relatively consistent impact location, GT3 offers a precisely adjustable CG Track to max out distance and directional control.
Seamless Thermoform Crown
A reimagined ultra-lightweight design, born from a new Proprietary Matrix Polymer. The tunable acoustic properties of this unique composite allow Titleist engineers to realize new material gains while maintaining our signature sound and feel. All wrapped in a clean look that inspires total confidence.
Split Mass Construction
A breakthrough in internal weighting unlocks longer drives and enhanced directional control in GT3. The Adjustable CG Track now sits closer to the face for more dynamic CG control, while additional discretionary mass is pushed to the back of the club to maintain optimal stability through impact.
Advanced Aerodynamics
GT3 features a new raised tail contour that represents a dramatic shift in driver aerodynamics. Previously impossible to execute due to design constraints, this advanced shaping results in a driver that swings faster while still providing optimal CG control.

“There was enough separation between those heads that they really performed drastically differently,” McCormack said of the TaylorMade Qi10 family. “And same thing can be said for the Callaway family, and then you get into the Ping family and the Titleist with the new GT line and GT2, 3 and 4, there’s enough separation between the heads that they really appeal to different demographics of players.”
