Looking for the lightest, hottest, 2 hybrid to use off the teebox

[slantsflood]

Have a Callaway paradym super hybrid.  Holy cow does this thing feel heavy.  Maybe it's the huge head, idk.  It's got a 75g shaft in it so I figured it would feel pretty standard and balanced.  I have a old rbz 19° 3 hybrid with a 65 stiff in it that I just smoke.  Very easy to control (for me).  I have a rbz 16.5 tour that has a 85 stiff in it and it feels heavy as well. I'm looking for the longest, lightest, 2 hybrid out there (new or old).  This will strictly be used off the tee box as my driver.  I play a lot of city courses that are not long.  Driver and 3 wood are too inconsistent, and cost me too many strokes.  Hybrids and irons are easy for me to hit.  Any advice would be welcome.  Especially guys that have had the old rbz Hybrids.  Thanks

TSR1 comes in 20*.   One of the lightest hybrid heads out there.  Probably worth checking out.

 

Also sounds like you do better with a 65g shaft in your hybrid vs the 75g.  

 

Good luck!

I'm currently using a Radspeed 2 off the tee as well and love it.

 

Had the superhybrid (orange one) and could never get with it, felt more like a 3W than hybrid to me.

 

I also had the LTDx 2 hybrid but just couldn't get along with it.

Great Big Bertha 3H titanium with the stock shaft (2023 version).

Turn down the 18 to make it 17 degrees.

Tsr1 built to be light weight and the tsr hybrids are so good.

I use a TS2 2H off the tee a lot.  It's solid.  Fairly long, easy to hit straight, pretty reliable.

I really enjoy the look and feel of the ping g430 2 hybrid (turned down to 15.5).  If I was strictly using this as a tee club, what would be a good shaft match for it that isn't too heavy.  My favorite hybrids have had 65g stiff in them.  Would one want a lower launching shaft since I'm not counting on it to hold any greens, just want it to roll?   Is that possible without going to heavy on a shaft?  Can I stay in the 65 stiff range?

I don't see it for Ping (but that's easy to fix), however Titleist has at their shaft selector page, the KuroKage Black 60 HY in S.  It does mention a mid-high flight and high spin though at 63 grams.

 

I guess one could also try a wood shaft, shim it, and see how that worked.  I like my G430 2h too....
