Best Golf Hybrid Clubs
Over the years, the hybrid has become more and more popular, with it being one of the most versatile and useful golf clubs you can put in your bag. How you may ask? Well, they are created to be a more forgiving replacement for long irons and, design-wise, they essentially resemble smaller headed fairway woods.
Ultimately though, they are more forgiving than long irons plus, as an added bonus, you can strike a hybrid from almost all lies. Whether you are on the fairway, or stuck in the rough, a hybrid can deliver more distance and height to get you closer to the green and, likely, save shots off your score.

It's no secret that, in recent years, club manufacturers have seen more demand for their hybrid models, with many golfers deciding to sacrifice the traditional set-ups of long irons for the more forgiving and easier to hit hybrids. What's more, you don't have to be limited to just one type of loft with hybrids, as manufacturers provide a range of lofts which vary from 17 to 29 degrees.
It's not just amateurs who have benefited from using hybrids, with even the professionals seen using them out on the course. Which professionals you may ask? Well, Major winners like Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson have previously carried hybrids when course conditions required higher flighted, softer landing approaches into par 5 greens.
Whether you are after one of the most forgiving hybrids on the market, or perhaps one that will give you an extra 10 yards of distance, there are plenty of models available which are designed to help and, at Golf Monthly, we have created this guide to help aid your decision.
We understand that there is always an element of subjectivity and personal preference in any club testing, but we cross-reference both our qualitative data (observations, feelings, notes) with our quantitative data (the launch monitor numbers) to reach our conclusions about what makes the best golf hybrids.

2023 Models
The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Rescue hybrid has undergone a transformation compared to the previous TaylorMade Stealth Plus hybrid and, visually, we think that this is a pretty slick looking hybrid that comes with an 'Infinity' carbon crown. This has replaced the original steel head, which has helped to save weight at the top of the club.
By doing this, it has lowered the center of gravity of the club, ultimately delivering more forgiveness and a higher launch. What's more, it has also worked to increase the MOI of the head, which is important as this is a pretty compact hybrid. Aesthetically, it comes with a rounded toe that sets the hybrid very close to the ground and, in testing, made it very easy to get right into the back of the golf ball - making this a very appealing hybrid for high handicap players.
In terms of performance, the new Forged Twist Face sits in front of an Inverted Cone on the inside of the club head to improve forgiveness. Certainly, from our testing, we believe that the feel it delivers is up there with some of the the best hybrid golf clubs in the game, producing excellent ball speed in a design that cuts through the turf.

Perhaps one of the best looking hybrids on the market right now, the Ping G430 strikes a superb balance between its fantastic visuals and the excellent performance it delivers. It embodies everything that Ping so often gets right in its clubs, providing a sleek and refined aesthetic that, despite being compact at address, delivers excellent forgiveness, feel and power. While it does come with a compact club head, the sole sits flush on the turf and that makes the club look a lot shallower than expected, inspiring a lot of confidence when you're stood over the ball. It also comes with a single grey dot on the head, which works as a handy alignment aid that replaces the three dots on its predecessor, the G425 hybrid.
Some questions on the acoustics of previous Ping clubs have been voiced over the years, but we have to say, with the G430, any metallic sound or 'tin' feel has been toned down to make it very satisfying through impact. Turning to its performance, we found it delivered excellent distances off the tee and from the ground during our testing sessions.
Equally, it stands out as one of the most forgiving hybrids on the market right now, with mis-hits still delivering strong carries and it also performed very well from a multitude of lies - especially out of the rough. That playability can be largely attributed to the tungsten back-weight on the club, which helps to deliver a lower center of gravity producing greater forgiveness out of difficult lies.

One of the most anticipated releases in the golfing world for 2023, the new range of Paradym clubs from Callaway deliver performance, power and forgiveness, with this excellent hybrid personifying all of that. It is one of the most forgiving hybrids on the market and delivers amazing consistency on strikes across the face.
It is also crammed with technology, like the new Jailbreak Batwing Technology and a Tungsten Speed Cartridge, which have been implemented into the face and are designed to help players hit the ball further and straighter. One of the things we loved about this club is it's a mid-sized, wood-shaped hybrid, which we think should appeal to all tastes.
At address, the Paradym hybrid provides a lot of confidence and, for better players, it still sits square enough to allow for shaping of the shot. One of the best features about this club though is the new Cutwave Sole design, which allows you to cut through wet and thick grass far more easily than other hybrids we've experienced. Ultimately, we think it is one of the best hybrid golf clubs on the market, delivering a very user-friendly experience that will inspire confidence at the address.

For those in search of a compact hybrid, Titleist has launched a moveable-weight TSR3 model that the brand says should: “Give you more control over every shot.” In testing, the performance certainly backed up this statement, with the TSR3 producing an impressively strong ball flight.
One thing to mention is that the flight is noticeably lower than, say, the Titleist TSR2 hybrid, so you may need to move the weighting around to get the desired results. However, the first thing that we noticed, aesthetically, is that the TSR3 is significantly more compact. We really like that Titleist is giving golfers some clear differentiation here and, because it is shorter from heel-to-toe, we felt it was a little more useable from a range of different lies.
Delivering a lower-pitched sound and more powerful feel than some of the other hybrids in this guide, the stand-out feature, for us was definitely the moveable weight system in the sole. It is sleek and easy to use and, when we changed it about, it definitely had an effect on the ball flight, which was very consistent.

An impressive rescue club that was released alongside the also excellent Aerojet hybrid, the Cobra King Tec Hybrid is the second generation that delivers a classy look and exceptional distance. Comparing the new model to its predecessor, Cobra has done an excellent job in cleaning up the aesthetics from the previous King Tec Model.
To begin with, it comes with a one-tone matte black finish that makes the head look more compact and will make the new model more appealing to lower handicap players. The carbon crown also makes it lighter and pushes the weight throughout the club head to aid speed and forgiveness.
This is by far one of the most forgiving hybrids we have tested, and that is helped, in part, by the interchangeable weights that allow golfers to produce a certain ball flight, which we found was good fun to play around with. We were also blown away with how hot the King Tec hybrid felt off the face. It gave us average ball speeds of 149mph and an average carry of 244 yards, outperforming the King Tec 2022, but was also longer than any other hybrid we tested this year.

Another forgiving and versatile club that we really enjoyed testing, the Mizuno ST-Z 230 hybrids deliver a forgiving and versatile feel off the tee and the ground. Aesthetically, they are fantastic looking clubs too, with Mizuno opting for a gloss black crown here which is very compact at address. It does possess a very long-looking face that we thought, when squared up to the golf ball, inspired confidence.
What's more, Mizuno have featured a Cortech Chamber inside the clubhead that moves the weight closer to the face of the club and lowers the center of gravity to help control the launch and spin of the ball.
The sweet spot of the club has also been lowered, making it even easier to hit, especially when playing off tighter lies on the fairway. That also meant that the ST-Z 230 performed incredibly well out of the rough with the ball launching high and sitting up softly on the greens.

The Srixon ZX MK II hybrid supplements the excellent ZX5 MK II irons and ZX7 MK II irons that were released in tandem with this rescue club. Here, the brand has taken the best bits from the previous Srixon ZX hybrid and upgraded them, introducing a smoother clubhead which looks a little cleaner at address.
It also comes with a very cool dark matte black finish with some very stylish alignment decals, positioned behind the centre of the clubface. The taller crown helps to push the center of gravity of the club back a little, and that adds more spin to launch the ball a touch higher for greater carry distances.
The face of this hybrid sits in front of a Rebound Frame on the inside of the head and this helps to stiffen the structure of the club to improve ball speed. That makes it one of the best hybrid golf clubs for higher handicappers and slower swingers looking for a little extra distance off the deck. The shape of the sole also means this club cuts through the grass very easily and is great from thicker lies, making it a very handy club to have in the bag.

The PXG 0211 is a compact but confidence-inspiring hybrid that comes with some fantastic aesthetics that combine well with its punchy performance. It's clean look helps this hybrid stand out against others in the market and looks fantastic at address with its matte black crown contrasting nicely against a stunning curved white line and 'X' alignment marker.
It certainly looks like a premium, modern golf club and boasts a relatively shallow profile that will attract better players but still comes with a very wide face that is very long from toe-to-heel.
Performance-wise, the powerful ball flights this hybrid creates really impressed us on testing. During a wet and windy testing day, the ball cut through the elements unfazed and delivered excellent distances both on the tee and off the ground. We also found it very easy to use from a variety of lies, producing consistently powerful shots that delivered excellent yardages towards the target. While the headline product in the new PXG range is the new 0211 2022 Driver, this hybrid will raise the eyes of many players looking for a versatile and easy to use rescue club.

Featuring in three different lofts, 18°, 21° and 24°, Titleist have fitted the TSi2 hybrid with a patented SureFit hosel, which means golfers can take advantage of the 16 individual loft and lie settings available, something we found very useful when testing from round to round in ever-changing conditions.
While the other two models (TSi1 & TSi3) offer something different, we found the TSi2 to be the most consistent and easiest to hit, delivering excellent feel and inspiring loads of confidence. Like the best Titleist drivers it really delivered on the ball striking front and delivered exceptional distance.

Callaway released the Apex and Apex Pro hybrids in 2021 and, such is their popularity and overall performance, they carried over into the following year. Feature-wise, the Apex Hybrid shares much of the same technology as its predecessors, but with upgraded Jailbreak Velocity Blades making it one of the best Callaway hybrids on the market.
We begin with the Jailbreak blades that are on the Apex hybrid, which are angled and more spread out than they have been in any model since this tech was first introduced in 2016. The result is more forgiveness across the face and more speed, particularly at the bottom of the club where golfers often mis-hit their shots. Plus, the blades also allow the Face Cup to flex more for consistent spin rates and, therefore, flight.
During our testing, we found it to be very easy to launch, with it also feeling extremely solid on impact. What's more, from an array of different conditions and lies, it created a towering, rainbow-like ball flight that squeezed out as much yardage as possible. One thing to note is that the Apex Pro hybrid is aimed at lower-handicap players who prefer more of an iron look, but we really liked the overall performance on offer with the standard Apex model that is available in 3H through to 6H.

All the tried and tested TaylorMade hybrid technology is here again, from the V Steel sole to Twist Face and the Speed Pocket. What’s different in the Stealth Rescue is a new carbon crown construction. The lighter head lets engineers shift seven grams of weight lower in the head for a better CG (centre of gravity), easy launch and optimal forgiveness.
The sleek top line and carbon head do inspire confidence at address and we also found the Stealth Rescue easy to hit with a firmer feel off the high strength C300 steel face. You might think that the acoustics would have changed drastically as a result but, thankfully, they still sound as powerful as ever, with a stable penetrating trajectory being the outcome.
When we tested the Stealth on a launch monitor we were impressed with the results compared to some other brands, especially in terms of accuracy and dispersion. The Stealth Rescue wasn’t as long as other manufacturers, but this didn’t worry us, especially as there are plenty of custom shaft options available to suit your swing needs.

The Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Hybrid ranks as one of the most forgiving hybrids on the market and hence earned a spot in our Editor's Choice Awards in 2022. Featuring an incredible amount of technology, the specific focus in the design process is to help golfers escape poor lies with power and accuracy.
The Halo features Cleveland's XL head design, which is certainly larger than most hybrids. As well as the large head design, the hybrid has an MOI of 2,961 - the most ever in a Cleveland Golf hybrid. This, paired with great stability and resistance at the moment of impact, makes it an appealing option to a wide range of golfers.
In testing, we felt that the three Glide Rails on the sole helped keep the clubface straight for better strikes, regardless of lie quality, and it also scored high marks for its versatility. It was easy to hit out of any lie, performed exceptionally well on mis-hits, and also got the ball up in the air quickly.

The Ping G425 hybrid has the same thin Maraging steel face as its predecessor, the Ping G410, with the G425 generating high ball speeds via Ping’s Facewrap design technology that works across the crown and sole of the club promoting an easy launch and longer shots.
Launched in 2021, the G425 hybrid has Spinsistency technolgy, which guarantees more consistent spin rates on shots struck off the bottom of the club. This is thanks to Ping modifying the roll profile on the clubface. The alignment aid has also been upgraded, with three dots on the crown making it easy to line the ball up to the centre and, like all things Ping, the feel off the face is brilliant and extremely easy to hit.
All of these positive benefits make it an option we would highly recommend for recreational golfers, plus it's available in 2H through to 7H and each loft category is adjustable by up to 1.5°. We found it a little more tricky to flight low compared to some other models, but it's so forgiving and easy to hit that it's comfortably one of the best hybrids on the market and would fit perfectly with the best Ping fairway woods.

In 2014, Callaway opened up a whole new market by introducing a long and forgiving forged iron for better players. Now, Callaway is attempting to create a new gear niche with the launch of its Apex UW (Utility Wood), a club that looks and flies like a fairway wood but offers the versatility and precision of the best hybrids.
Comprised of old-school looks, it is perhaps not obvious where the tech is until you reach the silver-grey soleplate that has a composite carbon-like appearance. In testing, it was exceptionally long and was noticeably passed some other leading brand hybrids tested during the same round.
No matter the wind conditions, the Apex UW could even rival the best fairway woods on the market and was recently chosen for our 2022 Editor's Choice Awards. No wonder so many Tour professionals have started putting this club in the bag as it provides top notch performance.

A really impressive club from Cobra that provides a solution for golfers looking for a forgiving, accurate hybrid in their bag. Put simply, it’s super easy to hit and the adjustability allows you to create the ball flight you desire whilst also achieving competitive distance.
Aesthetically, we really liked the matte finish on the crown and the grey strip at the front helps with alignment. However, it's the neutral weight setting (12g in the back centre position) which makes the feel off the face extremely solid and powerful.
With the acoustics, it offers up a relatively tinny sound but, catch one out the middle, and you certainly know about it, with the reward being a strong, towering flight that gently turns over from right to left. Distance-wise, it was comparable with the Cobra Radspeed Hybrid, which is no mean feat.

There’s a blend of old and new technology in this Cobra LTDx, which makes it an attractive club for anyone who can’t hit long irons high enough, or who struggle to play with those clubs from the rough. The LTDx hybrid is built with split rails on the sole which zip over tight turf and help glide through rough without any loss of speed.
This hybrid is also fun to hit, with Cobra stating that it has replaced its E9 face with a variable thickness design called H.O.T Face and tuned it for better speed. It feels thin at impact, with it easier to pick off tighter and sloping lies.
When we used this club out on the course, we mainly hit fades and, if we did miss left, we pulled it. This comes partly down to the KBS PGR (Player’s Graphite Iron) shaft which has the tolerance of steel, but the weight and playability of graphite. The only downside to this set-up is that the head feels light and we didn’t get a feeling of load at the top of the swing or any heft at address.

Mizuno's CLK hybrid has been designed to offer golfers a versatile, high-performing connection between irons and fairway woods and, in our opinion, that's exactly what it does.
How you may ask? Well, this is thanks to the new Dual Wave sole technology, which gives the club a wider profile at address. In testing, we found it really easy to flight the ball high and attack tighter pin positions, with there also being several structural refinements to ensure a solid sound at impact, which is another performance aspect we really look out for.
Finally, we liked how the wide, flat crown sits flush to the turf, which is sure to give many golfers that little extra confidence they need with a hybrid. Meanwhile, the CLK hybrid is available as a 2H through to a 5H and comes with an adjustable hosel that has eight loft and lie settings, making it extremely easy to set up exactly how you want.

Callaway released the Rogue ST Max hybrid in 2022 with a serious billing, calling it “the longest Rogue ST hybrid,” in “our fastest family of hybrids ever.” All the tour- proven Callaway technology is built into this club, including a revamped Jailbreak ST system that pushes the two ‘batwings’ further towards the perimeter of the face for higher MOI, a more flexible face and better ball speeds.
This club delivered lots of the performance benefits you’ll want in a good hybrid. It flew with a powerful rainbow-shaped flight and stopped quickly going into greens on long par 3s and tough par 4s.
The matte black also looks premium and, in terms of pure performance, although it wasn’t the longest or fastest in the Rogue ST hybrid series, it was reassuringly straight with an excellent dispersion average and up there with the very best hybrids in our test.

Wilson’s D9 hybrid is packed with performance that makes it one of the easiest hybrids to hit on the market. It’s also an extremely nice-looking club that sits squarely behind the ball, inspiring confidence to perform your best.
Milled using the same premium Carpenter Custom 455 steel used by Titleist in its hybrids, the face is hot and thin, delivering optimal feel and distance. This is enhanced by the Variable Face Technology for high ball speeds and launch angles.
It comes in a variety of lofts from 17° through to 31°, although there is no adjustability on the hosel; however, each different loft option is also the correct length to help it fit seamlessly into your bag. An incredibly easy club to hit, this hybrid really could suit every type of golfer if they can find the right specs for their unique game.

The Srixon ZX hybrid has a stepped crown that lowers the centre of gravity to optimise launch and increase MOI as well as helping with alignment, with its looks being almost a throwback to the original TaylorMade rescue clubs.
Anyway, as Srixon says, it's a 'true player's hybrid', featuring a smaller head shape and square toe to provide more confidence at address. We really noticed this when looking down from up high and, another thing we liked was the all-black face. It's not uncommon among hybrids, or clubs in general, but it did make it just that little bit more appealing than the more traditional silver-faced models.
Featuring Srixon’s Rebound Frame Technology, the ZX provided an increase in ball speed and distance from a variety of lies and, one thing we would point out is that it is only available as a 2H, 3H or 4H and doesn't come with the option to adjust the hosel. However, if you find yourself in the market for a 16°, 19° or 22° club that you want in the bag to replace a long-iron, then you could do far worse than the Srixon ZX.

How we test hybrids
When it comes to Golf Monthly's testing procedure, we use the same ethos and methodology for all golf products to make sure they are as insightful, honest and as comprehensive as possible. When it comes to testing for the best hybrids, we usually attend product launches so we can meet with the manufacturer’s R&D experts to understand the new technology.
After we have an understanding here, our first port of call when hitting clubs is usually the indoor simulator at Foresight Sports, where the team can test in a controlled environment using premium balls and the GCQuad launch monitor. We also use TrackMan at golf facilities across the UK. With hybrids, we look to assess how each club performs in terms of its forgiveness, shot shaping abilities and how much distance it provides off the tee. We also look to test hybrids on different lies to gain a better understanding of how each club performs around the course.
How to choose the right hybrid
It's one thing knowing what the best golf hybrid clubs on the market are, and something else entirely choosing which model to add to your bag. So, how do you make such a decision?
In an ideal world, a properly executed club fitting will provide the answers. However, if this isn't possible for whatever reason, we have a few tips.
1. Performance
How a hybrid performs is the most important factor. You are looking for versatility that will improve your scores and help you out of trouble in a range of on-course situations. We would recommend trying out hybrids off the tee, from the rough, fairway, around the green and even from the middle of low-lipped fairway bunkers. You need to gauge how well they perform for you and a demo day is an ideal opportunity to do the kind of testing you need to be sure a hybrid is right for you.
2. Feel
A thorough test can inform how some clubs feel during the golf swing and most importantly at impact. Some models sound loud at impact, others are more muted. Some will feel like the contact is a dense thud, others will feel hot and energetic off the face. Feel is entirely subjective and personal to the player. Again, we recommend hitting some models indoors and outdoors, so you can have an idea of what you like and dislike.
3. Looks
With all golf clubs you need to like how they look, especially at address, because you don't want to be distracted by a club you really don't enjoy looking at. Take some time to shop around, feel the club in your hands and see if you like the way it looks and feels at address. Does it match the rest of your set-up, will you feel completely comfortable putting it in the bag? As much as it may seem vain to judge a club on looks, it can increase your confidence on-course if you love the look of your hybrid when you pull the headcover.
Not every hybrid is the same. Some are more wood-like in appearance, whilst others have a higher toe and are designed to look more like an iron. Some are also more rounded and more square so getting the clubs in your hands will allow you to see what you like and what you don't.
4. Budget
The penultimate factor you should consider is budget. Given the number of hybrids available on the market, you can find a quality club at most price points and to suit almost any budget. If you want a premium brand model then you can get one, or if you want to save money, there is usually value for money to be found if you are happy not to own a club by a marquee manufacturer.
5. Testing
We hate to sound like a broken record but go to a range and try some out. Most places still tape clubs up and let you conduct your own range test. It won't be as thorough as a custom fit but you can draw some conclusions. For example, you'll be able to get a sense for the weight and looks of the club and whether the shaft suits the way you swing it.
Hitting some shots, even with tape on the face, will also give you an idea of how easy each hybrid is to hit and get airborne. For higher handicappers, this will likely be very helpful. Better golfers may be in the market for something that's more workable and therefore would be suited to something with plenty of hosel adjustability. Ultimately, it depends on what aspect(s) of performance you value above all else and which hybrid is able to tick the most boxes for your game.
If hybrids aren't your cup of tea we have plenty of information on our website on the best golf irons, best fairway woods and best wedges that'll help you get around the course.
FAQs
What is the difference between a hybrid and a rescue?
There is next to no difference between a hybrid and a rescue because a rescue club is actually just the TaylorMade version of a hybrid.
What is a hybrid golf club good for?
There are two clear benefits to a hybrid when answering this question. First the best thing about a hybrid is that it combines the best bits of a fairway wood and long iron into one convenient club. They help players get the ball in the air easier and help fill the gap between woods and irons in relation to distance gapping.
Hybrids are designed with a lot more perimeter weighting, which is possible because the heads are so much bigger. The hollow design also allows for a lower and deeper centre of gravity that encourages a higher launch, making it much more versatile from tricky lies.
Therefore, for the average golfer liable to mishits and drives finding the rough, a hybrid can be handy for getting back into position. Another big benefit to the hybrid is versatility. Not only can hybrids be used to help in the rough, from the fairway and off the tee, but also around the green too.
What is the difference between a hybrid and a fairway wood?
Hybrids are smaller than fairway woods in terms of clubhead size and shaft length, because they are designed to fill the gap between woods and long to mid irons. Hybrids are usually easier to hit than woods because of the lower centre of gravity and denser head construction and because the club design encourages you to hit down on the ball, in the same way you would with an iron.
Hybrid shafts are heavier than those in a fairway wood, with average weightings around 80 to 90 grams, which makes them easier to swing with more control. Lighter and longer fairway wood shafts can often tempt players to try and swing too fast resulting in inconsistent strikes and a lack of accuracy compared to hybrids.
Which hybrids should I carry?
This is completely personal and comes down to the way you choose to set your bag up. If you use several long irons and struggle to hit them, then a hybrid could definitely help fill these spots in the bag. Alternatively, if you are not getting on well with your five-wood, then hybrids come with similar lofts so can replace it easily.
Senior golfers and women golfers often favour hybrids that replace longer and mid irons in the bag, because they are more playable and offer more distance than their iron equivalents. This is why you will see hybrids available in lofts and head sizes ranging from 2H to 7H, or 17° to 29°.
Do professionals use hybrid golf clubs?
Interestingly, with the growth in hybrid technology over the last few years, more and more professionals are starting to put hybrids in their golf bags now because they are significantly easier to hit than long irons, and they tend to help get the ball in the air easier which can be very useful when hitting out of rough or hitting second shots into par-5's.
Top players like Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson have both put hybrids into the bag at one time, and the clubs usually come in and out of the bag dependent on course, setup and conditions.
