![](https://www.golfwrx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/members-choice-2022-golfwrx.png)

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. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
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.”

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.”

2024 Open Championship custom staff bags and accessories
![](https://www.golfwrx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/open-feature24.png)
Every major championship is the time when companies express their creative sides with limited-edition bags and accessories. This year at The Open Championship is no different, as you will see below. Most of the bags and accessories around The Open will feature plaid or yellow accents as well as some reference to local legend. You will see stamps as this year’s theme, referring to the 8th hole at Royal Troon’s Old Course. This par 3 was originally named “Ailsa” but is now called “Postage Stamp” due to the nickname William Park gave the hole’s tiny green years ago.
TaylorMade
The “royal” theme inspired TaylorMade with their purple and gold staff bag. The staff bag is a deep purple and complemented with shiny gold accents with little hints at The 152nd Open Championship. Matching white headcovers feature a purple TaylorMade logo with a crown over it.
Cobra
I feel like Cobra went with a little more traditional look with its bag and headcover designs. The bright yellow bag matches the hole signs and iconic leaderboard that will be easily visible at Royal Troon this week. The headcovers are all different designs, but match with their stamp and mail themes stictched into them.
Srixon
I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a golf bag that features Scottish tartan on it! Srixon’s staff bag is a deep navy blue, red, and white with tartan on the sides. They also carried that tartan detail over to the classy headcovers that are white with green and tartan stripes near the bottom for a very Open Championship feel.
Callaway
Stamps everywhere! Callaway went heavy with the stamp theme and used them to celebrate the holes at Royal Troon. Each stamp has a hole number and graphic of the hole’s famous feature in them. For golf balls, they took the new Chrome Tour ball and used their Truvis graphics to celebrate the 1st, 8th, 11th, and 18th signature holes.
