If you're in the market for a new hybrid - then you may find it below!
COBRA DarkSpeed
We have been hugely impressed by the entire Cobra DarkSpeed range - and the hybrids are no exception. They boast PWR-BRIDGE weighting and PWRSHELL H.O.T. FACE Technology, which combines to offer faster ball speeds, a higher launch and greater levels of forgiveness, just what you are looking for from a hybrid.
Key Tech
- Improved turf interaction and stability are made possible courtesy of a deep body design and a higher bouncing leading edge on the club.
- The aforementioned PWRSHELL insert and suspended PWR-BRIDGE design maximises ball speed and launch characteristics with a more flexible face and sole.
- Golfers can benefit from more efficient speed and spin across the entire club face thanks to the artificial intelligence designed H.O.T. Face that showcases a variable thickness pattern.
- Higher ball flights are promoted by a 12g sole weight that has been positioned as low as possible.

Callaway Ai Smoke HL
Much like its cousins throughout the Ai Smoke range, Callaway deployed artificial intelligence to help create its new hybrids, which took data from thousands of golfers to engineer sweet spots across the club face.
Ryan has specifically identified the HL model, which has been designed to offer enhanced distance and improved dispersion for golfers with a faster swing speed. The newly-imagined sole camber of this hybrid offers better turf interaction, which should help players to make a precise, clean contact.
Key Tech
- The data that has educated the design of the Ai Smart Face (coined Swing Code) consists of swing speed, club delivery, and face orientation just prior to impact.
- There is a shallower profile to the new Ai Smoke HL that helps to deliver a higher, easier launch.
- If you're looking for more distance, then you'll be fascinated by the Tungsten Speed Cartridge, which has been integrated to help reposition the centre of gravity into a lower and more forward position.

Titleist TSR3
If you're a golfer who desires workability and precision with their clubs, then Titleist's TSR3 hybrid should prove attractive, as it's highly adjustable thanks to the SureFit Adjustable CG Track System that allows players to choose their ideal setup. The TSR3 has a refined tour-inspired shape that looks great at address.
Key Tech
- TSR3 is more stable than previous hybrids, meaning that there is a more effective launch and higher levels of forgiveness.
- If you want a hybrid that will get you out of trouble, the TSR3 has been engineered to move faster through tougher lies, courtesy of a sole that has offers better interaction with the turf.
- Golfers should enjoy the sound and feel of this club, with designers listening to leading players and taking their feedback on board.
- The SureFit Adjustable CG Track System makes it easy to customise the club to fit your own requirements.

TaylorMade Qi10 Max
When selecting his best for this year, Ryan has picked out the Qi10 Max, which features TaylorMade's innovative Carbon Crown that has been engineered to allow more efficient weight distribution and greater forgiveness.
Additionally, for the golfers who desire a higher launch with their shots, the versatility of Qi10 Max will appeal, as the club has rear-leaning perimeter weighting and a low CG, while its shallow face means that players can successfully deploy it anywhere on the course.
Key Tech
- A lower CG and added forgiveness is offered by the larger Carbon Crown.
- The Qi10's Max shallower face height allows golfers to launch it high from anywhere.
- TaylorMade's innovations are part of the design, including the V-Steel sole that improves turf interaction, while the Tru-Slot Speed Pocket enhances ball speed on lower strikes, with Twist Face helping golfers to hit straighter shots.

Wilson DynaPower
Wilson's Dyanpower range is still a standout 12 months after it was unveiled, with the hybrid benefitting from variable face thickness and internal weighting to help position the Centre of Gravity lower and at the back of the club. This helps to promote an easier launch and greater levels of forgiveness.
Key Tech
- The lower CG weighting offers a higher moment of inertia, which encourages better levels of forgiveness.
- Dynapower's artificial intelligence process studied thousands of different variations to optimise the club face, providing faster ball speeds over the entire area of the face.
- This hybrid's head was inspired by testing from tour players, who favoured a flatter profile and a cleaner look.
