Just seven months after he finally broke through at the Wyndham Championship, Cameron Young notched his first marquee PGA Tour victory at the Players Championship.
Young plays a full set of Titleist clubs, but it has become one of the more unique ones on their staff.
Last week, Young made a change, going from the Titleist GT2 he used at the Wyndham to a new, 11-degree GT3.
The higher loft of the lower-spinning GT3 head helped him further optimize his numbers, just as switching to the Pro V1x Double Dot Prototype did last summer.
The prototype Double Dot flies lower than his previous Pro V1x, so Young worked with the Titleist team to see what he needed to do to optimize the carry with his driver, Titleist Director of Player Promotion J.J. Van Wezenbeeck said.
Working together with Titleist’s Director of Tour Research & Validation, Fordie Pitts, the team determined Young needed a touch more launch. The 11-degree GT3 (lofted down by .75˚ in the D1 setting) succeeded in raising the launch from 9 degrees to 11 while only increasing the spin from 2400 to 2500 rpm.
Young was one of the first players to switch to the Double Dot last summer, taking advantage of its low-spinning properties. The ball was also briefly put into play by Bryson DeChambeau.
Clearly, the driver was working on No. 18 at TPC Sawgrass as Young pummeled a 375-yard bomb, the longest tee shot in the shot-link era on the iconic finisher.
That’s not the only change Young made from last year. He’s also switched both his fairway wood and his hybrid to the high-launch GT1 models.
The GT1 hybrid is the more intriguing switch as it lets him play with the same Diamana PD 80 TX shaft that’s in his 3-wood.
“For Cam Young, we were trying to create more of a 5-wood type golf club, so we were able to build it with a 5-wood shaft and use a .335 tip on the interior diameter, but a hybrid outside diameter [on the hosel]. We get kind of the best of both,” Van Wezenbeeck told GOLF last month.
Both GT1 clubs have front-to-back interchangeable weights, and Young plays heavier weights forward to lower ball flight and spin.

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.

Total Performance With Higher Flight And More Spin
Pro V1x golf balls are the optimal premium performance choice for players looking for maximum distance, higher flight and more stopping power.
Why Play Pro V1x?
Pro V1x is recommended to players who are looking for high-trajectory flight, low long game spin with maximum short game spin, and firmer feel.
Comparison to Pro V1
Due to its unique dimple pattern, Pro V1x has a higher flight than Pro V1. A high-gradient dual core produces slightly more iron and wedge spin than Pro V1.
