Titleist TS2 and TS3 Hybrid Preview: Scoring Clubs with Playable Distance

Born from the Titleist Speed Project, the new Titleist TS hybrids represent a new standard in hybrid performance, combining the explosive speed and distance of TS metalwoods with the advanced technology that has made Titleist the most played hybrids on the PGA Tour. 

 

For dedicated golfers and Titleist Golf Club R&D engineers, hybrids are considered scoring clubs, not rescue clubs.  And the new TS2 and TS3 hybrids, benefiting from the innovations of the Titleist Speed Chassis, allow players to replace their long irons with even more speed, launch and precision. 

TS2 Hybrids 
The tremendously forgiving TS2 hybrids maximize performance for players who have a sweeping delivery to the ball, delivering high launch and easy distance.  The larger profile is designed for players who prefer the look of a fairway metal. 

 

TS3 Hybrids 

The fast-launching TS3 hybrids produce outstanding distance and control for players who hit down on the ball, offering mid launch, precise distance and iron-like control.  The compact, square toe shape is designed for players who want more of an iron look. 

 

Titleist Vice President of Club Marketing Josh Talge said, 

"Pretty much every golfer we’ve had test a TS hybrid has had the same reaction: these things just go.  When it comes to the world of golf clubs, hybrids don't always generate the type of excitement you see with other categories.  But with TS hybrids, our R&D team has developed a hybrid that players will start thinking about as their go-to club.  A club they just can’t wait to hit." 

FREE TRIAL & FITTINGS 
Beginning August 8th, golfers can experience the speed of Titleist TS hybrids by attending a Titleist Fitting and Trial event (including Titleist Thursdays) being held at hundreds of locations nationwide.  To find an event, or book a free fitting with a Titleist Product Specialist, visit www.titleist.com/fitting/appointments. 

TS HYBRID PERFORMANCE & TECHNOLOGY 
The improved performance of TS hybrids is driven by the innovative Titleist Speed Chassis, featuring technologies originally developed for TS drivers and fairways and now optimized for each hybrid shape. 

Thinner Faster Face 
The fastest hybrid face Titleist has ever made (16-percent thinner than prior generation 818 hybrids), delivers faster ball speeds and increased forgiveness. 

 

Optimized Weight Distribution

Refined crown and face thicknesses create a lower CG for higher launch and lower spin.  The resulting MOI is up to 10 percent higher on average than 818, creating a powerful combination of speed and stability. 

 

Titleist Director of Metalwoods R&D Stephanie Luttrel said, 

"Titleist hybrids were already by far the industry leader for hybrid performance, speed and distance, and now we've taken that to another level with these TS models.  By taking everything we learned in developing TS drivers and fairways and implementing those technologies into our hybrid platform, we've been able to improve our speed and distance performance while maintaining the incredible playability that makes these hybrids scoring clubs with easy, consistent distance that launches high, lands soft, and closer to the hole." 

TWO WAYS TO SPEED 
Like their driver and fairway counterparts, TS hybrids bring more speed to golfers through two distinct designs.  The new TS2 is a scoring club built for distance with maximum forgiveness across the face, while TS3 offers outstanding distance with shot-shape customization through the adjustable Magnetic SureFit CG.  Both models feature Titleist’s patented SureFit hosel with 16 independent loft and lie settings to create a more consistent and optimized ball flight through precision fitting. 

 

TS2 Loft Options: 17 degrees (RH Only), 19 degrees, 21 degrees, 23 degrees, 25 degrees, 27 degrees 

 TS3 Loft Options: 19 degrees, 21 degrees, 23 degrees, 25 degrees 

PREMIUM STOCK SHAFTS 
The TS stock shaft lineup extends to TS hybrids with four aftermarket models.  KURO KAGE Dual Core Black 60 (High launch and moderate spin), TENSEI AV Series Blue 70 (Mid launch and spin), HZRDUS Smoke Black 80 (Low/mid launch and spin), and Even Flow T1100 White 90 (Low launch and spin) are developed by the game's top shaft manufacturers using insights from Titleist's industry-best motion capture and consumer testing. 

In addition, Titleist offers an industry-leading number of custom shaft choices. 

 

TS HYBRIDS ON TOUR 

TS hybrids made their PGA Tour debut at the Memorial Tournament, where Charley Hoffman (TS3 17 degrees) and Robert Streb (TS3 21 degrees) were among those who put TS hybrids immediately in play.  Ian Poulter and Charles Howell III added new TS2 21 degree models to their bags for the U.S. Open, while Patton Kizzire gamed a TS3 19 degree, as players around the world continue to switch into the new TS2 and TS3 models.   

Titleist has been the most played hybrid on the PGA Tour since 2014 and continues to be the field favorite week in and week out.
