  1. I'm going to buy a 19 degree 816, but which one, H1 or H2? I'm 64 years old, swing speed of 85-88 m.p.h., and I have no problem getting the ball in the air. Does any one have an opinion? steve b
  2. Hello Steve,

    Here's my take on the H1 and H2. 

    H1.... more drop and stop....more for the player looking to carry their hybrid a certain yardage with less roll.  Hits higher and lands softer. Tends to work well with a "sweeping" type swing (fairway wood like).
    H2... less drop and stop.....there is more run out and long at times.  Great off the tee and when you need roll out and shots into larger flat greens. Tends to works nicely with a swing that "hits down" (iron like).

    So, guess it depends on how you see the 19* working best for your needs. Do you want more of a fairway wood type club or an iron type? Do you like to look at a larger head or a smaller head at address? 

    Hope you get to demo before you buy. They are both great Titleist products!

    I personally prefer the looks of the H1, I carry a 915 H. I would go based on your preference of look, feel, flight, etc. 

    Hope this helps!

    Ive hit them both. H1 will get up and stay up a bit longer. Both are solid. See if you can demo both on the course.

    I' m gonna get the 19 in  H1, and a 23 or 25 in H2  after testing both. Ditch the 4 and maybe even 5 iron.

    My best advice is go to a fitter. My personal experience is I have a low 90 SS with similar characteristics I was fitted into the H1 and love it . But a fitter will be your best bet

    The H2 has a slight offset, which I've never been fond of in a wood type club. I'd say you have to hit them both to get a feel.......
  7. Well it depends on what you are looking for.  The H1 is higher launching and lands softer which is what some tour pros and amateurs like because you are able to stop the ball right where you would like without having to have those higher irons.  However, the H2 is a smaller head and provides that iron like feel and give more distance.  So in my opinion I would go for the H1 because of how workable they are and the bigger head will provide a much more forgiving feel even on off center hits.  

    If you have any more questions let me know.

    It depends, if you think the hybrid is part of your woods than the H1 is the choice and if you think the hybrid is the extension of your irons set than the H2 is the one. One more thing, if H1 is the choice you might consider lengthen by 0.5 inch or 1 inch so the gap distance is not too far with your other fairway woods.

  9. Thank you all for your info!!!! Thank one and all!!!! The advice was very plentiful and extremely helpful. I'm going to wait till spring when my golf club receives them and try them both. I want one that goes long and straight. I'm leaning towards the H2 with a 3/4" longer shaft. Thanks again guys. I'll keep you guys posted on what happens. Happy Holidays to all!!!! steve b
