Great video! Went for a fitting with ideas of the G410 fairway wood and hybrids to blend into my i500s. Walked out with an order for TS3s having tried the Pings, TS2, M6 and Epic Flash. As you say, it's really important to try before you buy and get fitted. Can't wait until they turn up (once it's stopped raining).
James, considering the adjustment options w/each hybrid, why didn't you just flatten the lie angle of the TS 2 hybrid in order to reduce the left patterns. Tester appears to have a very upright swing, so a simple adjustment w/the Sure Fit would have been useful to see.
Interesting with the new Titleist hybrids. Previous gen seemed like most liked the look of H2 and ended up going H1 based on numbers. The new TS hybrids seem to be doing the opposite. People liking the look of the 2 but going with the 3 based on performance. I love my H1 but am curious to test both of these as well as the new Callaway Epic Flash. I like the idea of a little more shapabilty we were seeing out of the TS3. Hybrid has become such an important and scoring club in the bag for me that it's going to warrant another look/test with all the new models.
Perhaps it would be instructional to alter the hosel settings to see if you could bring the balls back towards centre with the flat setting on the TS2. I bought a TS2 7 wood and found the hosel adjustments ( loft and lie angle) did make a difference to ball flight.
Mark swings a little faster than me so I would have expected the hybrids to go a little further than G410 19 degree hybrid, however, the reverse was true. It may be that I am more comfortable with hybrids than Mark. Then there is the issue of Titleist's monumentally confused naming conventions. Irons T1(00) is for very good players T3(00) for high handicappers looking for help launching. In drivers TS1 is for high handicappers looking for help, TS4 for the very good golfer looking for low spin. Now we have hybrids - no TS1 or TS4 just TS2 & TS3. And this time TS3 goes higher and TS2 lower!
Question for Mark does he prefer the new Epic flash hybrid or the TS2 hybrid ? Currently have 818 looking to upgrade. Great job as usual gents cheers from NorCal
I would love to see the ben Hogan driver and ft worth iron test by you and mark other reviews lack that something you both have like honest and personality
I love my eye 2 4 iron, been thinking about getting a hybrid to replace my 2 iron though. I hit my 2 iron well, but everyone I've ever talked to urges me to make the switch.
It's interesting that despite RUclips reviewers telling us that we should try all the available models of a newly released line (Flash vs Sub Zero, TS2 vs TS3, etc.) to determine which one is right for us, the local stores RARELY stock the version that is considered the "better player's club" with anything other than an "S' or "X" flex. Not even an outfit as large as the local PGA TOUR Superstore had a single TS3 Hybrid with an "R" shaft to be demoed.
All i want to know is WHY has Mark gone back to finishing on his right leg after i saw him there in august finishing with a muuuuuch better turn of his lower body finishing on his left???
I find the TS2 more consistent in distance and flight path. It suits my need better, with the 21º it delivers 205 yd carry every time.
Love it.

Had the TS2 on course last week, definitely improved since the 818h
I am super excited to see Mark swing the new Mizuno MP-20 HMB and MMC irons.
Boba Defett
And the blade!
He does love to give them a try and it’s always an interesting watch
Great video. I'm going this week to hit/compare some hybrids this week to add to my bag.
I have last years TS3 hybrid and an ANCIENT Titleist 5w in my bag. My favorite clubs to be honest!
last years TS3 hybrid? The TS range of hybrids is new this year
Just got a TS2 hybrid and damn it`s a dangerously good

Nice review Mark and James! I’m guessing Titleist made the ts3 a little for anti left for the players.

To me titleist put in next quality with Mizuno and they both stay away from gimmicks
Good review and like the Peaky Blinders haircut James !!!
Cheers and thanks

Not easy James but outside testing is best , enjoy from sunny Perth Western Australia
Great testing Mark and your swing looks good 👌
So to set the surefit weight on neutral you would insert it in the club without the end cap correct?
Good video. Nice review. Thank you
James could you do a video on how to adjust something like the GAPR to fit/fix different swings.

Get mark to try the ts2 in the B4 setting, itl be a lot straighter 👍
Replaced my 4Iron with a Ping 3 Hybrid. Way more controllable and same distance.

How did mark get on with Bigfoot ?
James please try some club trials with 18 handicappers. Thanks!
get mark to test the bigfoot wedge, looks like that could help the short game where mid handicap players strugggle.
Woohoo! Sod work for 15 mins, I've got a new video from James to watch!
tad stressed at the end?
:)
Those numbers for a mid handicapper are crazy. Similar to Mark Crossfield 🤔

I hate big hybrid heads , I like my Adams V3 Idea Tech hybrids . they are smalled designed , If I want a big head I'll go a fairway wood !!
Agree with Mark. Blobby looks = lower confidence
When Mark improves his handicap. Because he will. Will you call these videos low handicapper test these clubs. Or are you gunna replace him 😂
I'll move to GB and be the new HIgh/Mid handicapper if needed. 😂
Nice review!
I currently game a:
Titleist 21° 818H2 A4(20°), with Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 95X Shaft
All i want to know is WHY has Mark gone back to finishing on his right leg after i saw him there in august finishing with a muuuuuch better turn of his lower body finishing on his left???
Nice
