Titleist’s prototype 818 hybrids shown to tour players at John Deere Classic. Weight on toe biggest change from 816 line.

Players taking part at this week’s John Deere Classic will get a first-hand look at Titleist’s prototype 818 hybrids as the company is bringing them to TPC Deere Run.

Although the company is mum on details, photos of the clubs appear to confirm a few things, including the addition of a weight on the toe, which could be similar to the company’s current SureFit weight on previous products that helps make center of gravity adjustments. From there it appears there are numerous similarities to its 816 line, including two models (the larger H1 with a round profile and the smaller H2 with a pear-shape profile) as well as the use of Titleist’s “active recoil channel” that boosts face deflection.
