4 Great Golf Shafts for Titleist GT Drivers (GT4 Drivers)

Titleist GT drivers are taking the world by storm and offer substantial technology that plays right into the hands of serious golfers, both beginners and experienced players alike.

The entire line is underscored by significant technological and developmental advances that elevate the performance of Titleist GT drivers to a new pitch.

They feature Seamless Thermoform Crowns made from Proprietary Matrix Polymers, Split Mass Construction, with mass pushed both forward and back within the head to optimize distance dynamics, and a Speed Ring with VFT (Variable Face Thickness) that produces an impressively fast face, across a wider area of the surface.

But let’s take a closer look at a specific Titleist GT driver, the GT4, which is Titleist’s most aggressive spin-reducing driver. It produces mid-launch profiles and ultra-low spin, with adjustable low spin distance. It is the choice Titleist GT driver for players that lose distance due to excess spin.

So, for players with higher swing speeds, it is a great Titleist GT driver - as long as you pair it with an appropriate shaft.

Speaking of which, here are 4 great ones, as recommended specifically by Titleist.

Autoflex Golf Shafts

Autoflex golf shafts are a miracle of modern engineering and are impossibly light, yet they promise to generate increases in distance for players of all swing speeds and profiles, from the slowest-swings to the fastest and most aggressive.

Moreover, Autoflex golf shafts promise to do this with no adjustments or changes needed on behalf of the golfer.

The best part? No extra spin is needed, a bonus for this Titleist GT driver which has been engineered to eliminate excess spin at the root. A speed-boosting shaft like an Autoflex golf shaft is the perfect pairing with it.

Just remember not to make any changes to your swing. You don’t need to swing harder. The Autoflex shaft will do that work for you. Besides, attempting to swing harder is just a recipe for strain-related shot errors - and Autoflex golf shafts are fairly fragile. You don’t want to swing harder. Just let the shaft do what it does.

Fujikura Ventus Black

The Fujikura Ventus Black is the lowest-launching, lowest-spin shaft in the Fujikura Ventus lineup.

Ultra-stiff, and engineered for players with the most aggressive swings and tempos, it should come as no surprise why this Fujikura Ventus shaft is a choice match for the Titleist GT4.

Both are ultra-low spin, which makes them natural mates. Plus, Fujikura’s Ventus Black is stabilized with VeloCore, a multi-material bias core that stabilizes the shaft and discourages deformation, even during the most aggressive swing sequences.

Just one thing - this shaft is best for players with faster swing speeds and more aggressive swing tempos. Autoflex golf shafts might be good for anyone swinging this Titleist GT driver, but that’s not the case here. Steer clear of the Ventus Black unless you’re swinging above 90 MPH.

Mitsubishi TENSEI 1K Black

The TENSEI 1K Black is Mitsubishi’s answer to the Fujikura Ventus Black. Like the Ventus Black, the MCA TENSEI 1K Black is a low-low Mitsubishi shaft that’s engineered to stand up to the fastest, toughest swings and tempos - but without sacrificing feel or sensitivity.

It has the firmest tip in the 1K family, which delivers both excellent stability and sensitivity, and is further stabilized with MCA’s Xlink Tech Resin System and ultra-strong 40-ton carbon fiber.

As with the Ventus Black, this shaft should only be considered seriously by golfers that have fast, aggressive swing speeds. With that said, this is the one to choose if you need an emphasis on sensitivity, not just low launch and spin.

Mitsubishi MMT SpeedMesh

Lastly, the MMT SpeedMesh is a great Mitsubishi shaft for any golfer seriously interested in the Titleist GT driver in question.

However, like Autoflex golf shafts, these Mitsubishi shafts are well-suited for players with slightly slower swing speeds and less aggressive tempos. Unlike the Mitsubishi TENSEI 1K Black, these MMT SpeedMesh shafts produce high launch profiles and medium spin.

An interesting pairing for a Titleist GT driver whose sole function is spin reduction, but a good one nonetheless.

The whole thing here with these Mitsubishi shafts is the use of ultra-lightweight materials in shaft construction, which results in lower swing weighting, giving a boost to players with naturally slower swing speeds.

So, you want a shaft that will let you extract a little extra distance from the ultra-low spin Titleist GT4? There probably isn’t a better one than a Mitsubishi MMT SpeedMesh.
