    Every golf company should hire you to show the how and why, An amateur like myself who thinks he knows alot but really doesnt, i believe its called an Ego,after watching this clip I can say I'm 100 % more knowledge then i was 10 minutes ago, id love to see you show 5 ,7 or even a 9 wood up against the same lofts on the Rescue, ill always have that 5 wood but any loft higher then 18,or 19 degrees is up in the air, definitely could go either way ,but if your a traditionalist you have to stick with fairway woods or those garden steaks, the long iron after i break the heads off lol !

    Swing speed is a HUGE factor too. The lower your swing speed the better a hybrid Will perform for you vs a long iron. I’m 51, a newly anointed single digit player 9.8, and I’ve removed my 4-5 iron this year, and the results are INCREDIBLE! I’m hitting both a club longer in distance, and increased my accuracy with both on approach shots! It’s definitely helped me lower my scores on long par 3s and approaches on par 5s! Even the long par 4s, I’m hitting those greens much more frequently now too.

    I used to be 1w - 4w - 7w - 4 rescue. I'm now 1W - 3W - 5W - 4h/4i - forced by manufacturer options. Winter, I love the 4H from softer lies, and hit it great. Summer, the 4i gets used as a driving iron, and I run further off line, so a low one to recover from under trees is great.
    I can live with one pair of a high stopper vs a lower runner of similar distance - enough elevation changes on my course to be useful. More feels like overkill.

    We all like decent gapping. In my game I carry 2 clubs at 19°, both giving very different results. A Hybrid that gives plenty of height and adequate distance. The old school 2 iron gives me a lower flight, a lot lower but ideal into the wind. Here in the UK where the wind is prominent it has to be the best option. I liked the review very informative but there in California it is an easier option, over in the UK not so much

    "Hybrid / Rescues have been around about 20 years". Actually it's more like 50 years. The first 1 I became aware of when I started playing in the early-eighties was the 1976 Cobra Baffler (huge twin brass rails on the bottom, a further refinement of the Little Slammer made by Founder Tom Crow for his former Company PGF in Australia). This spawned many imitations including the Stan Thompson Ginty (a keel soled 7 wood head on a 3 wood shaft). I played both. Around 1987 I discovered TaylorMade Cleek / Rescues. First introduced in 1983 as the Tour Cleek, The small headed metal woods had steel runners on the soles and were very useful out of long rough (I still have SEVERAL different models that sneak into the bag from time to time). I am also still gaming a full bag of TaylorMade clubs that include the new hybrids and I must say I prefer the larger headed ones (I REALLY struggle with the tiny headed Tour Hybrids). Perhaps my years of successfully using similar size clubs come into play here. Keep up the good work!

    Just ditched my 5 wood in favor of the qi10 3 hybrid. Love it and it’s so versatile. My only issue is I keep questioning myself if I should have gotten the tour model. I play the LS driver and still have my stealth 2 plus 3 wood. Less spin is what I need. I’ve never had an issue getting the ball up, it always been about keeping it down for me. When I hit the core model driver, I had serious ballooning issues no matter what I did, so the LS was the obvious fix, so I’m wondering if the tour might work a little better. I do love what i have and it does seem like it’s the more versatile of the twofl

    • @trottiegolf
      @trottiegolf  11 месяцев назад

      The stock shafts are lighter and the lie angles (for me) are 1 degree higher than where I would like them on most of the woods hence why I bend clubs flatter and use stronger shafts. These two factors and the reason TM have gone down a higher MOI route with their products this season indicate that they are focusing towards the higher hcp golfer. My advice would be buy one club in the fw wood core model and see where it takes you. Stay away from the P7MC & P7MB irons and the Qi10LS driver but everything else in the line up you will have great success with. Obv I absolutely recommend a fitting but to have the opinion that the products aren't for your game just isn't the case.
      Keep in mind a Tour Truck exists as the set ups of these clubs are completely different than what is in production...... with the exception of the models I list that you should avoid.
      Hope that helps.

      I have deep ties with TaylorMade but I think this vid applies to anyone out there looking at a hybrid club. Ref the joke part to give a little more context. I learnt to play at a coastal town in the UK. For me to look down on 22* and play it at 3i length is just something I'm not feeling as a PLYR. To get a 3i out of my bag would be tough hence why I carry the 4 wood, to go deeper and answer your point, I made the 3 hybrid as this would be my preference and I'd then go 3 wood over 4 wood and drop straight to 4i hence why I placed in the knock down shot (scenario 3 I believe).
      I think I could have done a better job explaining that but when all is said and done that's what the comment section is for.
      The shaft at that length is where I'd have it to sit in to a different bag set up and the 22* just not for me as too lofty and an even higher apex.
      Albeit you could have worded your comment a little different it's a valid call out and something I'll address the next time I talk hybrids or in the case of TaylorMade Rescue clubs.
