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 in front).
- The fairway-wood shaft, with a narrower tip, contributes to higher launch angles.
- The larger face 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, high-handicaps
- 20, 23, 26, 29 degrees (with a 16-way adjustable hosel)

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List panelists observed a club that slides through turf, launches high off the tee and medium-high from the deck, and delivers excellent distance with tight dispersion and low sidespin. Reviewers praised its forgiving, balanced feel, pleasing sound, soft sweet spot that still provides feedback, and mini-fairway-wood power aided by rear weighting. Very workable—easy to shape shots and replace a long iron. One caveat: the larger head leans toward a fairway-wood look.

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List testers noted the club is balanced and forgiving with exceptionally pleasing feedback; it clearly reveals toe and heel strikes while still cushioning mis-hits so even a bad shot feels solid and satisfying.

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List panelists observed outstanding turf interaction — it slides through the turf and helps lower flight when wanted — while launching high off the tee and a medium-high, penetrating shot from the turf. Testers praised the terrific sound and soft sweet spot that still gives clear mis-hit feedback. The slightly wider-back head is visually pleasing, it’s easy to get the ball airborne with strong, consistent power and control, and it’s an excellent long‑iron replacement. One noted the design is basic.

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List testers noted a clean look but warned the head size nudges toward a fairway‑wood feel, which can erode some hybrid confidence. Still, forgiveness reduced the need for a perfect swing; it launches high and plays like a mini fairway wood while staying compact enough for an aggressive swing. Rear weighting helped launch, delivering lively energy off the face, excellent distance, low side spin and tight dispersion. Very workable — produced repeatable baby fades and serves well as a tee replacement.

Very large, but I got such good results I didn't care. It was easy to get the ball in the air. Good power, consistent ball flight and easy to control.

This is what every golf club should feel like. It's balanced, forgiving, and full of pleasing feedback. It lets me know if I hit it off the toe or heel, but even a bad shot feels good.

Performed like a mini fairway wood, but it's still compact enough to make an aggressive swing. I sensed the weights in the back helping with the launch. Great energy off the face and efficient in the way it launched with distance. I also liked that it didn't have much side spin. My dispersion was tight. This one can be a nice tee replacement.

Basic in terms of design, but I like how the head is a little wider at the back. It's more pleasing to the eye. Reminds me of a fairway wood. The sweet spot is soft, which I like, but I can tell when I mis-hit it. Good feedback.

This club was a pleasure for two reasons: It was easy to launch high, and it was as forgiving as a loving mother. Many of my mis-hits were wonderful shots. I was able to hit baby fade after baby fade.

Great performer. What stood out was the turf interaction. It slid through the turf and helped me bring the flight down, which I wanted. This one hits a high ball off the tee and a medium-high penetrating flight off the ground. Terrific sound and feel.

I like the clean look, but I'm accustomed to a smaller head. This is creeping into a fairway-wood presentation, which can take away some of the confidence that hybrids offer. However, the forgiveness eased my fears of having to swing the perfect swing. Very workable. Easy to get up in the air and excellent distance.

It was love at first sight when I squared the club to the ball, and then I heard wedding bells after my first shot. The ball leaps off the face. This is a great option for somebody looking to replace a long iron with a club that's going to provide more distance and better accuracy. This does the trick.

This midsize hybrid will serve the needs of a wide range of players looking for a neutral flight and an improvement in launch and distance.
Screws in the sole suspend a 24-gram bridge of tungsten that “floats” within the head to move the center of gravity lower and more forward than in previous models.
The bridge rests slightly above the sole, freeing the lower part of the wraparound cupface and front part of the sole to flex more freely for better distance.

This easier-to-hit model takes up a larger footprint than past versions for more forgiveness and helps average golfers launch low-lofted clubs higher, with more backspin and a steeper angle of descent.
These models also feature a higher degree of loft than their immediate predecessor, as well as a loft range of 16 to 33 degrees through adjustability.
Balanced internal weighting creates a head that’s less prone to wobble during the swing and at impact for more consistency in distance and trajectory.

This conventional-sized hybrid will work for a variety of skill levels who are looking for the maneuverability of an iron with higher launch and more forgiveness.
The channel at the front of the sole has expanded sections in the heel and toe so that off-center hits can flex more effectively.
The high-strength maraging-steel face insert is shaved thinner than a nickel (a constant thickness of 1.8 millimeters) for better flexing.

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 eight 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.

Compact but high launching, this model uses a carbon-composite crown to free up mass for a lower center of gravity and adjustable weights to customize ball flight.
The squared-off face provides a larger lower-face area, pushing weight low and forward while creating room for more ball speed where average golfers most often make contact.
Compared to last year’s Black Ops, the Lightning model’s face is six percent thinner, creating more face deflection for better ball speed.

The wider-shape, shallower face design targets average golfers who struggle to launch the ball consistently with their lowest-lofted, off-the-deck clubs.
A high-strength, thin and lightweight C455 forged steel-alloy face insert not only boosts potential ball speed, it saves mass that’s pushed to the rear of the head for a higher launch and better stability on off-center hits.
The internal weighting favors the heel side of the head to counteract a slicing ball flight and to make the clubhead easier to control.
