The Rescue Dual TP Hybrids

These clubs are for skilled players with driver swing speeds over 105 MPH.  The movable weight system is in this line as well.  The CG is slightly higher than in the Rescue Dual, and thus the ball flight is lower and more piercing.  Strong players prefer this type of ball flight since they can control the ball better.  Tour level shafts are used in this model, and 4 choices of clubs are available.  There are two choices of a 2 hybrid,
one with a 14 degree loft and the other with 16 degrees of loft.  3 and 4 hybrids are also available.  The 14 degree 2 hybrid and 4 hybrid are not made in left-handed versions.

The r7 Draw Rescue

This line of hybrids can be used by players needing a club that can be hit easily and gets into the air quickly at a high launch angle.  The club is also designed to produce a hook bias to aid golfers who habitually slice the ball and to help them hit straighter shots.  The specs say that anyone with driver swing speeds from 55-105 MPH can use these clubs effectively.  The club head is large, and this allows for a CG that is well back from the club face.  This also allows for more perimeter weighting leading to a club that is forgiving of off-center hits.  There are 3, 4, 5, and 6 hybrids available, except for the 6 hybrid for lefties.  Women’s clubs are available.  The clubs are designed for use with lighter shafts to develop more club head speed for those who need all the distance they can get.  This is another line for below average, average, and some above average golfers.  The main issue is to address a correction for a constant slice that many golfers have.  It differs from the Rescue Dual line in that it does not have the movable weight system. 

It is clear that making a choice of which hybrids to put in your bag is a confusing one as there are so many choices.  And here we have only been discussing the offerings of Taylor Made Hybrid golf clubs.  Obviously all the golf equipment brands have their own lines as well.  If you are going to pay $120- $175 or so for each of these clubs, it would behoove you to have a custom fitting with a knowledgeable professional, preferably a certified custom club maker, before making your purchases.  That person can help guide you into clubs you can use effectively and get the most out of.  If you don’t do this, you might be not only wasting your money, but paying a high price to play poorly.
