TSR2 Hybrid

Independent testing ranks the TSR2 12th overall for forgiveness in 2023 hybrid testing. The TSR2 Hybrid achieved a 10 percent boost in MOI/forgiveness compared to its predecessor. A slightly longer face moves the impact center further from the shaft, allowing for more face flex and improving both ball speed and forgiveness. By pushing the CG deeper while keeping it low, Titleist engineers increased inertia without impacting launch dynamics. Above-average forgiveness — 10% MOI bump over TSi2 + extended blade length + deeper CG, but ranks 12th of 22 for forgiveness in independent testing (not class-leading).

Finishes 6th overall in 2023 hybrid testing, ranking above average across all three scoring categories — accuracy, distance, and forgiveness. Distance is its best attribute where it places 6th overall. The TSR2 was around 1mph faster in ball speed off the face than the TSi2, translating to 2-4 yards of extra carry through the air. 1.48 average smash factor. The TSR2 features an ultra-low, face-centered center of gravity — Titleist's lowest ever for a hybrid — creating fast, high, pure ball flight without adding backspin. Above-average distance — 6th in distance in 2023 MGS test + 1.48 smash + 2-4yd carry gain vs TSi2 + Titleist's lowest-ever hybrid CG.

Super playable, versatile hybrid that will suit golfers that prioritize launch off the deck and forgiveness over shot shaping ability. The TSR2 is for those with more of a sweeping hybrid swing who are looking for more forgiveness, while the more compact TSR3 targets players with an iron-like hybrid swing looking for workability. High launching, mid-low spin, forgiving long-iron replacement, best-suited for players that deliver the club in a sweeping motion. Mid-tier workability — explicitly designed as the high-launch GI variant for sweeping-swing players; reviewers explicitly steer shotmakers to the TSR3 instead.

Narrowly misses out on being the best for feel in 2023 hybrid testing. Firm feel of the face and the stability of the head were notable, with feedback being subtle, leaving an initial impression that most every strike was pured. Amazing sound and feel are paramount in the design — tuned to deliver the acoustic and physical feedback each player needs to develop consistency and trust. Top-tier feel — narrowly missed best-in-test in 2023 + firm stable impact + subtle informational feedback + 'every strike pured' impression.

Independent testing pool scores it as the best hybrid for sound, looks, and likelihood of purchase in 2023. The sound of the TSR2 hybrid fits right in with the rest of the TSR woods family — understated, yet authoritative. At a volume of around 4, contact produced a crisp, metallic dink. Amazing sound and feel are paramount in the design of a superior golf club. Top-tier sound — BEST hybrid for sound in 2023 testing + understated yet authoritative crisp metallic 'dink' + ~4/10 volume.

Independent testing pool scores it as the best hybrid for looks in 2023. Classically-shaped, high launching, mid-low spin, forgiving long-iron replacement — all packed into a classic hybrid profile. Larger size and profile that sits closer to that of a compact fairway wood than it does a hybrid. Top-tier address — BEST hybrid for looks in 2023 testing + classic Titleist profile + compact-fairway-wood-leaning footprint.
