TaylorMade Rescue Mid Fairway Wood Golf Club

Okay, first off, for those unaware, there were 2 types of clubs in the first Rescue series. The Rescue Mid and The Rescue Fairway

The Rescue Mid is a nice little club, but to be honest, it has a slight tendency to draw the ball, which I found really annoying, and is why Taylormade released the Rescue Dual model. Ask any pro or golf shop dealer what the general consensis was on the Mid range, and they will tell you a slight draw is common. But they are very easy to use, and from the rough, they are 2nd to none, producing long easy shots, as the shafts are a lot shorter than their cousin, the Rescue Fairway. The lofts come in the following:
2h - 16 degrees
3h - 19 degrees
4h - 22 degrees
5h - 25 degrees

The Rescue Fairway is a fantastic club. They come in 3 models, but be careful, they claim to be a 3Wood a 5Wood and a 7Wood, but the lofts are a little incorrect. All the Fairway models, produce a fairly high flying ball, but reasonably long and penetrating which is great. They do not fade or draw badly, and if they are hit well, they go dead straight, its amazing to watch.

The 3Wood is fantastic, but its 17 degrees, so it hits more like a 4 Wood. It is so so easy to hit long straight shots that I fell in love with this club.
I often prefer this club to a driver as it is often better to be only 190 yards down the fairway, than 240 yards into the water.

The 5Wood is also exceptional, but it is 20 degrees, so again, its tendency is more to be a 6Wood, and can sometimes hit quite a very high ball, but still gives fantastic accuracy.

The 7Wood is useless, its more like an 8 or 9 wood, and bubbles a lot, so that you're better off just using a 7 iron.
The lofts of the Rescue Fairway are:
3Wood - 17 degrees
5Wood - 20 degrees
7Wood - 23 degrees

Having said all that, I would strongly suggest that you try the Ben Hogan range of clubs aswell, and see which you prefer, as I found the Hogan and the Taylor Made were the best of all the rescue models that companies have made.

The club was in great shape; it looked new, the price was reasonable, and the shipping turn around was excellent.

Long with a controlled draw. Where has that been for 20 years?

This 16 degree may not be quite as long as a 3 wood but I've never had this type of unconcerned confidence with a 3 wood. Versatile with good click and nice feel.

My misses are low and left, no question about that. Weird thing is they arrive when I least expect it, from good lies. The trouble shots even out of fairway bunkers come out clean and straight.

Yesterday I found the matching 19 and 22 from a different source, BJ's Wholesale Club. Maybe I'm not supposed to mention that in this venue but you won't be disappointed with the price if they are still available. It's a membership club like Costco.

This is the first rescue club-hybrid I have ever bought. I usually have a monster slice with my irons, especially my long irons. I have yet to hit a slice with this club. I wouldn't trade this club for anything!!!!!!!!!!!! (Well maybe not anything!)

This may be a 2002 model but I still prefer it to the newcomers. eBay is now saturated with new still-in-plastic Rescue Mids with headcover, particularly the 19 and 22 degree, so I decided to nab a 19 degree to go with my 16. Now I'm kicking myself for passing on a 22 degree at the opening bid level of $42.50. One seller was listing several per day and the midnight Pacific Time concluders often went unsold, including the one I passed on. Now he's down to one ending time per day and the price has jumped. Stupido.

I can blast my 16 degree and I'm looking forward to the 19. These are simply very confidence inspiring clubs. Great looking also. Updates often are smack in reverse, an excuse to grab more cash from the goofs preoccupied with a latest-and-greatest mentality.

My old natural draw is back thanks to the slight offset. It's true the club will produce some wild low looks if you overswing. Normally I get that when jumping over a second shot to reach a par 5 in 2. But the mere opportunity to threaten par 5s in 2 at this age is delightful. These clubs play long.

I play Hogan irons and have two Hogan CFT hybrids, the older model, 17 and 24 degree. I prefer the TaylorMades. Much more feel with the soft tip and lower center of gravity. The major difference is length of shaft. The Hogan 17 degree graphite is 1 3/4 inches longer than the 16 degree TaylorMade. That makes it longer off the tee but I'm more erratic off the turf. I'm 6-4 and might lengthen the shaft of the TaylorMades a half inch. Shouldn't be a problem with swingweight since my preferred grip is heavier to compensate. The Hogan CFT Ti model is supposed to have great feel and prices are coming down.

The stock regular shaft on the Rescue Mid is fine. Many posters seem determined to dismiss any R shaft as too wippy. I don't see that at all. In fact, as a Las Vegas resident I'd love to do a blind test on various shafts of all flexes, and let those geniuses identify the bend point and flex and manufacturer. Best of luck.

Excellent golf club, this is my third rescue mid in my bag and they are all great, very easy to play anf very forgiving on miss shoots. I have no more long irons in my golf bag any more.

I'm only repeating reviews of others. This club, the 4 hybrid, or rescue, makes the 4 iron, that I tried to use, unnecessary. The club I purchased is in very good condition, as advertised. Next to purchase is the 5 hybrid.

VERY COMFORTABLE CLUB TO SWING.VERY WELL BALANCED. GREAT DISTANCE WITHOUT. SWINGING HARD.THIS CLUB WORKS GREAT OUT OF THE ROUGH.

After Playing golf over the last 25 years and using many different clubs from a to z and then som. The taylormade r7 series drivers and irons are like no others especialy the r7 xd Can hit my 9 iron 200 yards and anything else over 225 ydsBest Distance ive ever experienced just had to make a major adjust from where and what to hit took me from high 80s to break into the 70s with a low of 71 on an average sized golf course

This club is a lifesaver. Get in in the rough stuff and blam your out. This club can be used on or off fairway.

Great club, I'm a 15HC, I play about 3 times a week on avg. I received the club on Wednesday morning and played that afternoon, I took 2 practice swings and knew that I made the right choice. I hit the ball out of the second cut, 210 yards. I really didn't notice any draw, I generally hit really straight so I was happy that I could do the same with this club "Other review said slight draw?". If you don't have one, get one.

I just bought the 4 and 5 hybrid iron models after owning the 3 hybrid for a year. These clubs are a treat to hit. Easy to swing, easy to make good contact, and they allow you to move the ball around while still being forgiving.

If you're struggling with hitting your 3,4, or 5 irons, these are a quick and easy fix.

The club was in good shape just like you said thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

This item was perfect as discribed. Would purchase from this seller again any time. The item arrived on time as it was disribe. Great savings.

These clubs are simply the best thing to ever happen to hackers like me. They never fail and can be hit out of fairway, rough, sand, everything

Fast delivery, good product. Very satisfied. Would deal with this seller again.
Only my second purchase on EBAY.

Awesome club! Would highly recommend. Great performance and affordable. Sets up beautifully on the ground and gives you confidence to smack it down the fairway.

This is a great club for rough shots as you approach the green. Lightweight and easy to handle. I have only used a Demo club like this one and I have no complaints so far.

I decided to buy this club because I do not hit my 4 iron consistently enough to use it on a regular basis...yet. This club is very easy to hit once you understand how to set up for it, and swing easy. Pure shots are straight and fly high, while landing softly. Miss-hits are very forgiving but don't travel as far. Oddly enough, I decided to use my 4 iron at the range more to try and master iy. So buying this hybrid has actually inspired me to improve my game with practicing my "hard-to-hit" longer irons instead of buying more "game improvement" clubs. If all goes well, this club just might end up back on Ebay in very good condition. Only time will tell. If you need a great rescue/hybrid, you can't go wrong with this one!

I haven't golfed in 15 years, bought new clubs and everybody recommended the rescue club. I purchased both a #3 & #4. TaylorMade clubs are what I played before so they were the first choice again. No regrets, it both of the rescue clubs very well, I can see why they replace the long irons. Well made, nice finish and I love the graphite shaft.

the taylormade rescue gives better ball control than long irons out of the rough you can hit the ball out better and straighter than irons you can not beat the deals on ebay kennethw8428

it was as described but a little more used than i thought, it works well but looks like a old club on the base. but it was described as an 8 out of 10.

I bought the rescue fairway wood for decrease my golf score, cause in case of long distance iron shot,,it was very hard to hit perfectly.
And my colleague said to me that rescur is very easy to hit.

After several driving range practice,,It was owesome...
I love this stuff, it rescured me..

Good looking club. I wish I could hit it like my other TM rescue club. Club was sent on time and was as promised.
