The lowest-lofted hybrid on record is Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwood Hybrid, down to 14° — ahead of TaylorMade Rescue TP Hybrid down to 15° and Wilson Men's FYbrid RS Fairway Utilities down to 15°.
All 456 hybrids with a loft are ranked below, along with 7 more lists: highest opening loft, widest loft range, narrowest loft range, most upright lie, flattest lie, longest, shortest.
Every hybrid this site holds a spec table for, whatever year it launched, whoever made it and whoever it was built for. It is the widest field for the category and the least comparable one, which is why the cuts below it exist.
Each figure is ranked from both ends — strongest and weakest, most and least — over the same clubs, and each list counts only the clubs that publish that figure, so the totals differ between them. Loft, lie, offset and bounce are fitting specifications — a stronger loft is a longer-carrying club of the same name, not a better one, and neither end of any list here is the good end. How this is worked out.
Who they are built for
The 477 hybrids by handicap band — DERIVED from published loft, offset and length by the same classifier the fitting uses, never taken from a maker's marketing copy. A club whose category publishes nothing to read keeps its own row rather than being sorted into a band nobody computed.
| Handicap band | hybrids | Share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low handicap | 28 | 5.9% | |
| Mid handicap | 366 | 76.7% | |
| High handicap | 83 | 17.4% |
Lowest published loft
— the top 25 of 456 clubs with a loft
The lowest loft the model is sold in. A driver line opening at 8° and one opening at 10.5° are aimed at different players; this is that difference, stated in the manufacturer’s own numbers. Irons are excluded — their lowest loft is whichever long iron the set happens to start at, which measures set composition rather than the club.
Highest opening loft
— the top 25 of 456 clubs with a loft
The lowest loft the model is sold in. A driver line opening at 8° and one opening at 10.5° are aimed at different players; this is that difference, stated in the manufacturer’s own numbers. Irons are excluded — their lowest loft is whichever long iron the set happens to start at, which measures set composition rather than the club.
Widest loft range
— the top 25 of 448 clubs with two or more lofts
Degrees between the highest and lowest loft the model is published in — how far the line stretches to fit different players. Measured over the lofts on record for the model; a model we hold in a single loft has an unmeasured span and is left off rather than recorded as zero. Putters are excluded, being sold at one loft.
Narrowest loft range
— the top 25 of 448 clubs with two or more lofts
Degrees between the highest and lowest loft the model is published in — how far the line stretches to fit different players. Measured over the lofts on record for the model; a model we hold in a single loft has an unmeasured span and is left off rather than recorded as zero. Putters are excluded, being sold at one loft.
Most upright lie
— the top 25 of 428 clubs with a lie angle
The published lie angle, measured from the ground. Irons are read at the 7-iron; every other category at the most upright figure the model publishes. PING quotes putter lie from vertical rather than horizontal, so those figures are converted onto the common scale before comparison and the club’s own page still shows the number PING published.
Flattest lie
— the top 25 of 428 clubs with a lie angle
The published lie angle, measured from the ground. Irons are read at the 7-iron; every other category at the most upright figure the model publishes. PING quotes putter lie from vertical rather than horizontal, so those figures are converted onto the common scale before comparison and the club’s own page still shows the number PING published.
Longest
— the top 25 of 446 clubs with a length
Published playing length in inches. Irons are read at the 7-iron, so a set starting at a 3-iron is not credited with length a set starting at a 5-iron never had; every other category is read at the longest club the model is published in.
Shortest
— the top 25 of 446 clubs with a length
Published playing length in inches. Irons are read at the 7-iron, so a set starting at a 3-iron is not credited with length a set starting at a 5-iron never had; every other category is read at the longest club the model is published in.
When they launched
Model year, where the record carries one — 189 of the 477 in this cut. A model year is when a club launched, not when it was designed or when it left the shops. Each year with enough clubs behind it links to that year's own boards.

5 more brands have at least one hybrid on record and no board of their own — a brand needs 12 clubs publishing one figure before it gets one. Every one of them is in the club search.
