Titleist

Why we like it

Thinking any hybrid will do is like believing any wedding dress will do. A hybrid needs to fit a golfer’s needs, hence Titleist’s three options here. Some need a hybrid that launches the ball easily (TSR1), some need one that masks flaws (TSR2) and some need one that doesn’t balloon or hang left (TSR3). Still, all three share a commitment to the right doses of forgiveness, including larger volume or a wider blade length or less offset. Just as vital: each sole’s relief areas ensure a smoother glide pattern.

TSR3

• Caters to players looking for more workability.
• Adjustable sliding weight sits flush with the sole and has five settings heel to toe.
• 19, 21, 24 degrees (with a 16-way adjustable hosel)
