Titleist Launches TSi2 and TSi3 Hybrid Line

[Golfspy_CG2 26,496]

CARLSBAD, Calif. (February 17, 2021) – Titleist has consistently promoted hybrids as scoring clubs – as opposed to rescue clubs - and the new TSi2 and TSi3 hybrids represent a new standard within the category. Engineered for golfers seeking long iron replacements, these new hybrids offer two distinct looks and performance options, including improved adjustability, sound and feel.

 

The new hybrids complete the popular TSi metals line, complementing the TSi2 and TSi3 drivers and fairway metals, which have gained considerable momentum across the worldwide professional tours and in the marketplace since their November introduction. Both models feature Carpenter 455 forged faces.

 

• The tremendously forgiving TSi2 is the ‘workhorse’ hybrid, maximizing performance by providing high launch and easy distance for players with a sweeping delivery. The larger, classic profile is designed for players who prefer the look of a fairway metal.

 

• The TSi3 hybrids are distinctly different in looks, adjustability and performance from the TSi2. Designed with a compact, squarer toe and very little face progression, the fast-launching TSi3 hybrids feature a similar SureFit CG Track Technology system as the new TSi3 fairway metals, allowing the ability to manipulate adjustability towards the toe or heel. The TSi3 hybrids, designed with direct feedback from Titleist tour staff, offer mid-launch, precise distance, and iron-like control, especially for players who hit down on the golf ball.

 

“One of the key points of difference in fitting and performance between the new Titleist TSi hybrids and the competition is the level of adjustability we offer, especially in the TSi3,” said Josh Talge, Vice President, Titleist Golf Club Marketing. “We all stress that golfers should be custom fit for drivers and irons, so why not hybrids? The golfer may need or want to increase or decrease loft, add a degree upright or make the club flatter. Those adjustability options are available with the new TSi hybrids and we think that, in combination with outstanding performance, sets these hybrids apart.”

 

Titleist has been the overwhelmingly most played hybrids on the PGA Tour since 2014, and according to J.J. Van Wezenbeeck, Director of Player Promotion, nearly 60 percent of current players are gaming their hybrid in a non-neutral setting.

 

“That is a really important statistic,” said Talge. “Given the significant number of players adjusting their hybrids at the highest level of the game, the need is even greater as you go down the pyramid. It is further proof we are improving the options and opportunities for all golfers - many of whom prefer or require hybrids – and helps them to play better and enjoy the game more.”

 

An extension of the Titleist Speed Project that began over three years ago, the new Titleist TSi hybrids combine the explosive speed, distance and advanced technology of TSi metalwoods. The new TSi2 and TSi3 hybrids will allow golfers to replace their long irons with even more speed, launch and precision.

FREE TRIAL & FITTINGS: Beginning February 17, golfers can experience the new Titleist TSi 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 Fitting Specialist, golfers should visit https://www.titleist.com/fitting/appointments

 

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

 

• Thin, fast face: The fastest hybrid face Titleist has ever made delivers faster ball speeds and increased forgiveness.

 

• Optimized Weight Distribution. The crown and face thicknesses create a lower CG for higher launch and lower spin. The resulting increase in MOI creates a powerful combination of speed and stability.

 

• SureFit Hosel Technology. Both TSi2 and TSi3 hybrids feature Titleist’s patented SureFit hosel with 16 independent loft and lie settings, plus headweight adjustability to create a more consistent and optimized ball flight through precision fitting.

 

• SureFit CG Track Technology. The TSi3 hybrid models offer three unique positions – Toe (T), Neutral (N) and Heel (H) – to adjust clubhead CG and fine-tune ball flight. After adjustment, the new track design disappears into the sole of the club to allow for smooth turf interaction through impact.

 

TSi2: High launching, mid/low spin wood-type hybrid

• Features headweight adjustability (same as TSi2 driver and fairways)

 

TSi3: Flatter trajectory, lower-spin iron-type hybrid

• Features headweight and SureFit CG track adjustability in three positions, the same as TSi3 fairways.

 

• Loft Options:  TSi2 – RH: 18º, 21º, 24º | LH: 18º, 21º, 24º | TSi3 - RH: 18º, 20º | LH: 18º, 20º

• SureFit Hosel: Compatible with Titleist TS, 917, 915, 913 and 910 hybrids

 

FEATURED SHAFTS: The TSi featured shaft lineup extends to TSi hybrids with four aftermarket models developed by the game’s top shaft manufacturers using insights from Titleist’s industry-best motion capture and consumer testing. The featured shaft options include:

 

Tensei AV White RAW 90 HY (low launch, low spin)

HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 80 HY (low launch, low spin)

Tensei AV Blue RAW 75 HY (mid launch, mid/low spin)

Kuro Kage Black DC 5G 55 HY (high launch, moderate spin)

 

FEATURED GRIP: Golf Pride TV 360 Gray Flat Cap 58R

 

TSi HYBRIDS ON TOUR: TSi hybrids made their PGA Tour debut at The American Express in January and were quickly put into play by some of the world’s best. In fact, the TSi3 shape was inspired by work at the Titleist Performance Institute with brand ambassadors Charley Hoffman and Webb Simpson. They liked a design between a utility iron and a smaller headed hybrid and the result was the new TSi3.

 

AVAILABILITY AND PRICING: Titleist TSi2 and TSi3 hybrids are available in golf shops worldwide beginning Feb. 26 | MAP: $279

I’m assuming this bit is a typo from titleist as these are fairway models

Looked-up planned fitting opportunities and nothing within 260 miles, at this point.

I’ll be looking to demo the fairways and hybrids this year.

Really like the look of that TSi3. I played a similar sized Taylormade Rescue years ago, which the new SIM2 hybrid fits in as well. Would love to give both of these. Have the 816 H1 19 and 21, but wish I went with the H2 for that smaller size.

Funny, I went with the H2 and it has been a good club for me, but now I am wondering if the TSi2 hybrid would be more appropriate for me than the TSi3 or the SIM2 rescue. Can't wait to run all three of those through the paces and maybe even compare vs. a 5/7 wood before pulling the trigger.

I’d love to replace my U-510 3 iron with the 18 degree tsi3; I wonder if I’ll hit it any better than the ts3

Anyone hit these yet?

[jlukes 13,633]

818 H2 is the longest tenured club in my bag.  The TSi3 is on my radar - if it could get me about 3-4 yards more carry on my stock shot while maintaining spin and peak height that I have now it could be possibility.

Same for me = really enjoy the 818 series.  Would like to hit the updated hybrids as I've heard great things.  The only thing for me is how much better can they get?  I find the 818's forgiving and long with good launch conditions so even though the club ho in me wants to look, the penny pincher in me wants to maintain something that works well.

One thing of interest is having the 20 degree head naturally rather than having to loft down on the 21* H2.

Hybrid fits a very specific need for me (want about 230 carry) with a flight capable of holding greens, but still able to flight down if I want.

[Golfspy_CG2 26,496]

I ordered a couple TSi1's  those things look like mini FW's so I'll be interested to see how they do.  I'll have lots of hybrid options to try out to find the right combo, between

G410 in 23 and 26

CLK in 22

ZX  in  22 and 25

TSi1 in 20 and 23

I at least passed my MAVRIK 20 and 23 onto a buddy

Well, the 818 lives again!

I’m going to grab a spot when the Titleist fitting van is here again. Usually once a month.
