Titleist adds 17-degree 816 H1 hybrid to its lineup
Titleist has added a 17-degree 816 H1 hybrid to its lineup, the result of specific requests from both tour players and amateur golfers, according to the company. PGA Tour players Steve Stricker, K.T. Kim and Cameron Tringale are each using the new hybrid.
The 816 hybrids were released last October in two models; the 816H1 has a rounded, more fairway wood-like shape, while the 816H2 is more compact. The 816 H1 hybrids are also available in lofts of 19, 21, 23, 25 and 27 degrees, and use 3-degree loft/lie adjustable hosels.
Titleist has also added a new Rogue Max hybrid shaft to its stock options, giving golfers to opportunity to use a Rogue Max shaft throughout its new metal wood line. The shafts weighs a little less than 85 grams, and are available in R, S and X flexes.

What are the driver and shaft combinations of the best golfers in the world? For gearheads, it’s an endlessly interesting question — even if we can only ever aspire to play LS heads and 7 TX shafts.
At this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, GolfWRX got in-hand looks at the driver setups of a wealth of players.
Check out some of the most interesting combos below, then head to the GolfWRX forums for the rest, as well as the rest of our galleries from New Orleans.

Where can I purchase the H1 17 degree in the UK? Can’t find it anywhere.

It would be great to know that the 17 degree is not available in a left handed model. I had to go to the Titleist website to find out. I would think it should be standard to tell your readers the basic info such as this, as it is important to some of us!

Would rather have this combo:
917F2 15 degree 3 wood @14deg
917F3 18 degree 5 wood @18deg
816H2 21 degree hybrid @22deg
T-MB 26 degree 5 iron driving iron @26deg
Then you have a 3 wood, 5 wood, hybrid & driving iron with 4 degrees difference.
If you like variety:)
A 17 degree 816H1 is like an all in one 5wood/hybrid/2 iron.

oops, meant 917F3 15 degree and 917f2 18 degree. They don’t make an F3 18 degree.

No 17 degree for the H2?
