Why We Like It
- This wood-like hybrid is Titleist’s most forgiving, targeting players looking for a higher launch.
- It has the deepest center of gravity in the GT hybrid lineup to improve stability on off-center shots and increase the launch angle.
- Movable weights in the front of the sole and rear perimeter allow players to tweak launch (heavier weight in rear) or lower spin (heavier weight up front).
- The fairway-wood shaft, with a narrower tip, contributes to higher launch angles.
- The larger face (than the TSR1) extends the degree of forgiveness for inconsistent ball-strikers.
- Featured shafts include 50- and 40-gram versions to build the speed potential for moderate-speed players.
- Top 5 in Performance, middle- and high-handicaps
- 20, 23, 26, 29 degrees (with a 16-way adjustable hosel)

Very solid, firm feeling club. Great distance. Was able to fade and draw the ball on command.

I like that the top of the club is plain, but I don't like how shiny it is. Easy to launch and very forgiving. Missed shots sacrificed some distance, but still went straight. I would take those all day long.

Classy look. More D-shaped, like a mini-fairway wood. Simpler graphics make it feel aggressive. Fairly big launch pad makes it easy to hit. Mis-hits were a little spinnier and harder to control.

Performed like a mini-fairway wood. The face was firm and the sound had that perfect metal ting to it, no matter where you hit it. Definitely spinny and sporadic with distance, height and dispersion. When you get it, it's awesome. But if you don't, it's not forgiving.

Does exactly what a hybrid is supposed to do. It allows you to advance the ball and stay out of trouble on par 5s, and is a good teeing club on short par 4s. I was able to move the ball both ways. Thin hits give you the proper feedback.

The oval-shaped head is quite big, but I hit the club very well. Pleasing sound. It was a ping, but not too loud. All-around great club with good forgiveness and distance.

When I picked it up, I thought it would be my next hybrid. It just didn't live up to my expectations. The face was very stable through impact but I just didn't get the pop I was looking for. Same swing speed as the PXG but the ball speed was considerably lower.

More compact than the GT2 and last year's TSR3, the GT3 offers iron-like control for players looking for more ball speed than their lower-lofted irons.
Because of a wider face, this year’s model boasts a 15 percent improvement in stability on off-center hits for more consistent carry yardages.
Adjustable heel and toe weights in the sole control draw or fade trajectories and dial in the best energy transfer for where players tend to contact the face.

This model seeks to maximize distance for average golfers through adjustability and lie angle while offering the same control of the equivalent iron.
The mid-size profile makes for an easier transition between hybrids and irons.
The adjustable hosel has seven settings that provide 1-degree loft adjustments (weak or strong) and up to 2 degrees of adjustment for lie (weak or strong).

With a focus on forgiveness, this model is the highest launching of Cobra’s hybrids and features a larger head size than the King Tec.
A bridge-like structure inside the front of the head attaches to internal heel and toe weight pads to push the center of gravity low and forward for better energy transfer.
That structure also yields extra stability on off-center hits.

Cobra’s most advanced hybrid uses multiple materials and adjustability to optimize distance and trajectory.
The L-shaped face insert wraps around the leading edge and into the sole to maximize rebound, particularly on lower-face impacts.
The face is also designed with variable thicknesses across 15 distinct regions for more consistent speed across the face.

A faster face and a range of adjustable lofts make these hybrids among the most versatile in the game.
Ping lowered the face height by 8 percent and made it thinner. This encourages center-face contact for a higher launch and more ball speed.
A redesigned interior section of the hosel removes mass that helps to lower the center of gravity by 12 percent for higher launch and less spin.

Srixon’s hybrids now feature a larger size and hosel adjustability to fit a wider variety of swings and skills.
These also benefit from the same approach to face design that has fueled more ball speed in the ZXi drivers.
By varying rigid and flexible layers in the face and crown transition areas, these hybrids get an additional speed boost from the flexing of the crown at impact.

Built to fit the broadest range of player types, the standard Qi35 now straddles the line between the previous Qi10 and Qi10 Tour models.
That difference means the Qi35 boasts a similar shape to the Qi10 but with a slightly more forward center of gravity for lower spin and better energy transfer.
A carbon-composite crown with a chromium aesthetic saves weight for a lower center of gravity.

Built with long-distance problem-solving in mind, these oversized designs aim to help average golfers launch long shots higher from a variety of lies.
Distance gets a boost from a thinner step design in the front part of the crown that gives, which enlarges the area of the face that flexes the most at impact.
Three sole rails taper front to back to minimize the negative effects of steep swings and chunked shots and ease the way the head’s trailing edge moves through the turf.

Although larger and more playable than last year’s CLK, the conventional ST-Z provides a flatter, lower-launching trajectory compared to the ST-Max.
This more traditionally sized hybrid (the 2-hybrid volume is 121 cubic centimeters) decreases in size as the loft increases (the 5-hybrid is just 103cc).
The adjustable hosel provides lofts from 14 to 27 degrees.

With three movable sole weights, an eight-way adjustable hosel and six lofts that can be tweaked as high as 32.5 degrees, this versatile hybrid aims to meet the needs of a variety of player types.
A new face made of a high-strength, stainless-steel alloy results in additional ball speed, a higher launch and less spin.
The face is 10 percent thinner than previous models and saves mass that’s distributed internally along the perimeter for better stability on mis-hits.
