Review: TaylorMade Rescue TP Hybrid | GolfEquipmentDepot.com

By Golf.com
April 6, 2011

Category: Better-Player Hybrids

We tested: 16° and 18° with Aldila RIP 85 graphite shaft

Key Technologies: The club's "Flight Control Technology" (8 settings) allows you to change face angle up to 4°, loft and lie up to 2°, and alter spin by as much as 1,000 rpm. The deep face provides a large effective hitting area, while the white, non-glare crown aids alignment.

OUR TESTERS SAY: Unique-looking, balanced performers that you can count on; multiple head positions are a real plus.

PROS

PLAYABILITY: Mid-trajectory flight is deemed "perfect" by a number of testers; good out of rough and reasonably proficient at producing draws and fades.

ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Fairly easy to hit straight; better at correcting direction than at maintaining distance on off-center hits.

DISTANCE: Consistent yardages due, in part, to the mid-level trajectory; adequate overall in regard to carry and roll.

FEEL: Soft yet solid at impact; the nicely balanced clubhead/ shaft combo provides feedback throughout the swing.

LOOK: The club's white clubhead with black face makes the head easy to aim at your target.

CONS

The white head distracts some testers; not the longest hitter out there; off-center hits can feel harsh.
