Titleist TSR2 and TSR3 Hybrids Review

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.

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.

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.”
