What we say...
Titleist are the most played hybrid on the PGA Tour and with the quality of the TSR2 and TSR3, they look set to keep that title for a tenth straight year.
The latest addition to the TSR family, the TSR2 hybrid offers forgiving speed and performance, with the TSR3 hybrid designed for precision and workability. Titleist say both models will help make the transition from the impressive TSR woods into the hybrids seamless, a claim we’ll test when we select our best hybrids of 2023.

Titleist TSR2 Hybrid
RRP £259 / $299 | Launched February 2023
Lofts 18º, 21º, 24º | Length 40.5″, 40″, 39.5″ (Ladies 1″ under men’s stock build) | Availability RH and LH in all lofts | Adjustable Yes (hosel and headweight) | Stock Shafts Tensei 1K Black 85/95g HY, HZRDUS Black 4G 80/90g HY, Tensei AV Blue 65g HY, HZRDUS Red 60g HY | Stock Grip Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 Flat Cap (no paint fill)
The TSR2, available in 18º, 21º, and 24º, is a classically-shaped, high launching, mid-low spin, forgiving long-iron replacement. It is best suited for players that deliver the club in a sweeping motion, with an extended blade length, a deeper center of gravity, and a reimagined sole shape bringing even better forgiveness and improved turf interaction than its predecessors.
Both hybrids use added sole relief pockets to create less friction and lower the chance of the club grabbing in the grass when playing from the rough.
They also feature the same head weight adjustability you’ll find in the TSR drivers and TSR fairway woods and Titleist have fine-tuned the sound and feel with feedback from their Tour stars.
Verdict: Titleist TSR 2
We’ve always found it incredibly difficult to recommend expensive golf equipment when we know later in the same year it’s highly likely a club will be superseded by a new model. But the TSR 2 caught our test pro’s eye in 2024, and the model has gone on to turn in an impressive performance numbers-wise.
Absolutely do not go and buy this model if you’re sensitive to using the very latest equipment, the TSR wood family hits its second birthday in mid-summer 2024 which historically means replacements are just around the corner. However, if you are in the market for new hybrids and stumble across TSR 2s at a reduced price our test results show they are a really intelligent buy.
Our test pro liked the slightly longer blade length and narrower body than the TSR 1, he also had a preference for the alignment aid on the top edge over the TSR 3. Data wise the model was faster, longer, and higher flying than our test averages which has to say if you can pick them up for reasonable money they would be an absolute steal.

Titleist TSR3 Hybrid
RRP £259 / $299 | Launched February 2023
Lofts 19º, 21º, 24º | Length 40.5″, 40″, 39.5″ (Ladies 1″ under men’s stock build) | Availability RH and LH in all lofts | Adjustable Yes (hosel and headweight) | Stock Shafts Tensei 1K Black 85/95g HY, HZRDUS Black 4G 80/90g HY, Tensei AV Blue 65g HY, HZRDUS Red 60g HY | Stock Grip Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 Flat Cap (no paint fill)
The TSR3, available in 19º, 21º, and 24º, has a tour-inspired iron-like hybrid profile with a slight reduction in offset. It gives a flatter trajectory and, thanks to a new highly-adjustable 5-position SureFit Adjustable CG Track System, players can dial in their ideal setup.
A higher inertia body makes TSR3 more stable, preventing deflection and twist when playing from difficult conditions. Expect to see it in the bag of Jordan Spieth throughout the season.
TSR 3 uses the same sole pockets and head weight adjustability you’ll find in TSR2 and has also been fine-tuned for inspiring sound and feel.
Titleist TSR2 and TSR3 Hybrids Technology and Performance
Reimagined shaping and profiles
The TSR2 hybrids are classically shaped and have a slightly lengthened blade length, shifting the impact centre further from the shaft, which increases face flex and results in more speed and forgiveness.
The TSR3 hybrids feature an iron-like hybrid profile inspired by popular predecessors, and a slight reduction in offset helps improve performance
Deeper, More Forgiving CG & High Inertia Body
In TSR2, Titleist engineers pushed the CG deeper while keeping it low, making high-launching and soft-landing approaches with maximum forgiveness even easier. The TSR3 hybrids are more stable due to a higher inertia body, preventing deflection and twist when playing from difficult conditions
Faster Through the Rough
Added sole relief pockets on both TSR2 and TSR3 are designed to move the club faster through all rough conditions, heavy or light. Less surface area means less friction and less chance to drag or grab, also resulting in smooth turf interaction from the fairway.
Performance-Tuned Adjustability
With a refined five-position SureFit Adjustable CG Track System, Titleist say it is now easier than ever to dial in the exact setup you need in the TSR3 with a wider and more precise range of CG placements.
Player-Influenced Sound & Feel
Amazing sound and feel are paramount in the design of a superior golf club. Both hybrids have been tuned to deliver the acoustic and physical feedback each player needs to develop consistency and trust.
Titleist TSR2 and TSR3 Hybrid Shafts
The TSR hybrid shaft line-up features four aftermarket models from top shaft manufacturers to provide a wide range that complements different players and swing profiles.
Tensei 1K Black 85/95g HY
Features premium 1K carbon fiber weave and new Xlink resin system with matte clear finish. Low launch/Low Spin
HZRDUS Black 4G 80/90g HY
Designed for low-mid launch with new Dual Torsion design and firm tip section. Low-Mid launch/Low Spin
Tensei AV Blue 65g HY
Uses the same Xlink resin system as 1K Black, but with mid-tip section stiffness for mid-launch. Mid-launch/Mid Spin
HZRDUS Red 60g HY
Mid-high launching with less firm tip section, also made with Dual Torsion design and matte clear finish. Mid-high launch/Mid spin.
What Titleist say about the TSR2 and TSR3 hybrids
“TSR2 and TSR3 hybrids offer players options at the top end of the bag,” Tom Bennett, Principal Product Manager – Fairways & Hybrids, told us.
“Players can choose between the more classical shape and high launch of the TSR2 or the refined profile and adjustability of the TSR3.
“Both clubs provide a fast, forgiving, and high-launching long-iron alternative that gives the golfer the confidence to pull off any shot.”
