2021 Titleist TSi2 and TSi3 hybrids: “Everything we got”
The 2021 Titleist TSi hybrids, which include the TSi2 and TSi3 along with the newly launched TSi1, are all about delivering high-flying shots with control and green-stopping power. They embody the same design features as the TSi Series fairway woods to create the most technology-pushing hybrids the R&D team at Titleist has ever created.
“We’ve put everything we got into these hybrids”
– Josh Talge, Titleist VP of Marketing
Titleist TSi hybrid technology
The technology built into the TSi hybrids is all about refining the proven technologies of the previous TS Series while offering increased forgiveness and control for the targetted golfer—while also making them feel and sound better along the way.
Both the TSi2 and TSi3 hybrids feature a forged carpenter 455 steel face, which, much like the previous generation, has allowed the designers to save mass and reposition it around the head to maximize the playing characteristics for each model, which is particularly important considering how much design separation has been created.
The biggest advancement though is less about materials and more around shaping, and this is where the new TSi hybrids are like nothing Titleist has done before.
TSi2 hybrid details
The TSi2 is a hybrid designed with the perfect balance between optimizing forgiveness while also offering playability for golfers with a more shallow delivery into the ball. Compared to the TSi3, which is one of the smallest hybrids Titleist has ever produced, and the TSi1 which is the largest, the TSi2 fits comfortably in the middle in terms of size and has low and deeper CG to create higher launch conditions for those who need it.
Unlike the previous TS2 hybrid, which had a more pear-shaped look with a rounded toe profile, the new TSi2 has a more symmetrical look around the rear of the club to both center mass and increase forgiveness while still offering workability.
TSi2 hybrid loft options
The TSi2 hybrid will be available in the lofts of 18, 21, and 24 degrees in both right and left-handed.
TSi3 hybrid details
The TSi3 hybrid is the most technology-packed and adjustable hybrid Titleist has ever produced. Like the rest of Titleist’s metal woods line, the hybrid features the familiar SureFit hosel system as previous generations but also includes the newly optimized SureFit adjustable CG (center of gravity) track to help fitters and golfers alike dial-in preferred shot shape and reduce dispersion. The TSi3 hybrid uses the same weight as the TSi3 fairway wood to achieve this adjustability.
Compared to any previous Titleist hybrid, including the 2019 TS3, the shape of the 2021 TSi3 hybrid is aggressively square and “iron-like” from address with virtually zero offset or onset to offer maximum workability.
The head has short front to back and heel to toe dimensions to push the center of gravity closer to the face to provide a flatter trajectory for golfers who take a more iron-like approach to their hybrids and need spin control caused by having a more downward approach into the ball (steeper angle of attack).
TSi3 hybrid loft options
The TSi3 hybrid will be available in the lofts of 18 and 20 degrees in both right and left-handed.
Why you likely need a hybrid, or two.
When it comes to scoring most golfers focus on the short game and driving but, the shots hit in-between are equally as important and most often overlooked. When you factor in that on average PGA Tour players hit just over 66 percent of greens in regulation, the average golfer hits much less, and often times it’s caused by improper gapping and the inability to hit greens especially outside of 150 yards.
Hybrids help golfers find clubs for the crucial yardages between their longest iron and highest lofted fairway wood. Whether it be second shots hit into par 5’s, approach shots into long par 4s, or even into par 3’s having clubs that offer both control and consistent distances are crucial. The new Titleist TSi hybrids offer golfers 2 distinct options with the TSi2 and TSi3 for finding a hybrid to fit the golfer for swing type and preferred looks.

Project X HandCrafted shafts return with new HZRDUS T1100
Project X let us into the world of HandCrafted shafts with the 2015 HZRDUS Black shaft, which was a big success on professional tours and at retail. Almost 10 years later, we still come across some of those original HZRDUS Black and Yellow shafts in bags on the PGA Tour.
The HandCrafted label on a Project X shaft was the mark of high-end, low-volume manufacturing where the shaft was hand rolled in the company’s San Diego R&D lab. Since then, Project X retired that label and moved on to the “Small Batch” nomenclature. Many golf shaft degenerates have begged for Project X to bring back the HandCrafted shafts, and now, the squeaky wheels are getting the grease with a brand new Project X HZRDUS T1100 HandCrafted shaft.
“We are beyond excited to be able to bring back a HandCrafted line of graphite shafts,” Don Brown, Vice President of Marketing and Innovation for Project X said. “When producing a HandCrafted shaft, each shaft is rolled by hand, painted by hand and the logos are even applied by hand, all in our San Diego lab, ensuring the utmost care is taken along the way.”
The newest HandCrafted shaft is a reintroduction of the famed HZRDUS T1100 from 2017 (View our original launch story HERE). The chrome ion finished HZRDUS T1100 was beloved by higher-speed players for its ultra-stiff profile with very low launch and spin. Toray T1100G carbon fiber was at the heart of the shaft and the strongest fiber available for Project X to create an ultra-stable shaft for the fastest swingers in golf.
The new 2024 Project X HZRDUS T1100 HandCrafted shaft will be low launch and low spin with a very stiff profile for the fastest swingers. 4D Optimized Carbon utilizes a spread tow weave that is used in specific parts of the shaft to enhance stability and control. This spread tow woven fabric is angled at 45 degrees through to increase torsional resistance in the shaft to control the twisting of the head during the swing. Each HZRDUS T1100 HandCrafted shaft is rolled in Project X’s San Diego Lab, like the original, and trimmed to final frequency to ensure consistent performance and precision.
Project X went with a graphics package that will pay homage to the original shaft with a HZRDUS logo done in silver with bright neon green outline in the middle of the shaft and the HandCrafted logo just below the grip. The shaft will have a silver sheen to it, but you will also be able to see the spread tow carbon fiber through the paint in the sun.
The new HZRDUS T1100 HandCrafted will be available in 60- and 70-gram weights with 6.0 (stiff) and 6.5 (X-stiff) flexes while the 80-gram model will only be available in the 6.5 flex.
We don’t have a retail date yet for these new HZRDUS shafts, as Project X can only create so many per day. The first ones have been sent to tour — we spotted them at this week’s Valero Texas Open. We will keep you updated on an official launch date.

Also wondering about why no 24 degree TSi3 Hybrid?
If they are iron like, wouldn’t you want them in degrees closer to you irons?
Had hoped to use a TSi2 21 degree hybrid and a TSi3 24 degree hybrid, then the irons.

I’d like to have seen a 2 hybrid (16* or so) for people such as myself who have given up trying to hit 3-wood consistently.

I’m surprised about only having 2 TSi3’s? Is it because they are geared towards better players who prolly won’t put more than one in the bag?

No 23 Loft for the TSI3?
