The bedrock of GolfWRX.com is the community of passionate and knowledgable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members—the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet.

Best hybrid of 2022: The top 5
1. Ping G425
What Ping says: “…innovations Facewrap and Spinsistency combine to deliver greater distance and spin predictability so your approach shots reach greens and hold greens. A tungsten back weight on the extreme perimeter helps increase MOI for more stability and forgiveness.”
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- @agood3putt: “Just got my G425 w Tour 85S. Lovely club, had the G410, and I think the G425 sounds and looks better IMO.”
- @BDowning: “The G425 is the best hybrid I have hit. Gained an additional 15 yards from my previous G hybrid.”
- @JMB3: “Love the look, feel, performance, and adjustability of the G425 hybrids. Without turbulators, they are perfect.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the G425 hybrid in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here.
2. Titleist TSi2
What Titleist says: “For players with a sweeping delivery seeking a forgiving long iron replacement. Features headweight adjustability and a SureFit hosel for dialed-in shots that launch high and land soft.”
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- @getitdaily: “Tsi2 hybrid is freaking solid.”
- @kwaino: “TSi2 is really big to my eye, bigger than the G425 hybrid even, super forgiving though.”

3. TaylorMade Stealth
What TaylorMade says: “Built from carbon DNA, the Stealth™ Rescue combines Tour-validated designs with a new carbon crown construction to elevate performance for golfers of all skills. Powered by a redesigned V Steel™ sole with precision weighting, this Rescue is engineered for high launch and forgiveness.”
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- @tiptx1122: “I have finally decided on the Stealth over the Plus. I need a more forgiving club as I did test both models as the Plus was harder for me to launch it as my swing speed is only 92 as I supposed that is decent for being 66 years old but forgiveness wins out over distance for me as the carry was 8 yards farther with the Stealth. I did get a nice roll out was no where as consistent. I really wanted to favor the Plus but Father Time is catching up with me.”
- @lakecowboy: “Stealth Rescue is ?. Went straight in the bag this weekend, and I’ve hated hybrids in the past. Fitting and on course performance were awesome.”

4. TaylorMade Stealth Plus
What TaylorMade says: “The Stealth Plus+ Rescue is a shot makers dream. A high-toe profile and compact overall footprint make it easier to control trajectory and shot shape, while maintaining added forgiveness compared to long irons. The ultra-strong C300 Steel face delivers powerful ball speed and is paired with Twist Face®, the corrective face curvature designed to give everyone straighter shots on mis-hits.”

5. Titleist TSi3
What Titleist says: “For players seeking an iron-like hybrid that provides precise control of trajectory and shot shape. Features Surefit CG track technology and SureFit hosel adjustability for player-tuned accuracy.”
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- @tagermo: “Fitted yesterday with a TSi3 4 hybrid set at +2 degrees with weight in toe. I tried each of the hybrids at Titleist fitting and was shocked at how easy the TSi3 was to launch.”
- @BostonWRX: “I got fit into the TSI3. I tend to hit it a little bit towards the heel. We moved the weight to the heel, and I picked up some ball speed.”

Spotted: PXG prototype putters
PXG’s line of Battle Ready II and 0211 putters contain a lot of different head shapes and options to fit just about any golfer out there. From the high MOI mallets to the classic blade shapes, there is one thing that all PXG putters have in common, a milled pyramid face structure. The pyramid face looks like many small triangles on the face and is designed to optimize the sound and feel upon impact as well as create a smoother roll.
This week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, we spotted a couple of PXG prototype putters on the practice green with a more traditional milled face on them. The putters look to be very traditional Anser head shape with a more squared-off look and sharper corners. One of the putters was naked, with no site lines or dots milled into the topline or flange for a clean and classic look. I don’t see any tungsten weights integrated into the heel and toe bumpers like the retail putters, but the interchangeable sole weights look to be the same as we’d expect.
A more traditional, shallower face milling looks to have been used on the face with PXG’s Darkness skull logo milled into the heel. The sole also features a large PXG logo with many different-sized Darkness skulls around it. We have no word on if this will ever be available at retail or if it just a tour-only prototype. Very cool either way!
