However more lofted hybrids are only really used by people who can't hit long irons. My advice to you...as a 13 year old...is to practice with your 4 iron!

I need some advise. I currently hit my 5 iron about 145 yards and I carry a 4 iron, but I'm only 13 years old, and I have never hit it well. My next club up is a 5-wood that I can hit 180- 170 if I need to. I am considering buying a TaylorMade rescue club to fill my gap that currently lies from about 150- 165 yards. According to what I'm told, I would want a 4i hybrid to replace my 4 iron, but should I get a 5i if the rescues fly a bit better? Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it. Hey. I need some advise.

I do like the irons against a "tight lie" just to save the bottom of the Rescue club if nothing else but as a high handicapper I like the confidence these magic clubs offer.

TP perhaps slighly more penetrating flight...neutral weighting...non TP maybe a bit higher lauch and favouring a draw?

But, why is the time interval between reviews always so long? Richie This is brilliant stuff, as usual; by far the most in-depth series of club reviews on the net.

I might try it out although i don't think I will change from my Titleist 985H (with adila proto) anytime in the near future. The main reason is that i find the 985H more like an iron than a wood and previous taylormade/callaway/cleavland/cobra hybrids I have hit all play more like a wood, as you said you couldn't keep the ball down with the Taylormade, thats what i have found with every other hybrid I have hit & shot-shaping is much more difficult, I had found with other hybrids that a draw was the only shot (+ my natural shot shape). I can easily hit a small fade with my 985H, I can hit it high, low, get it to climb etc. Another point the new titleist hybrids are horrible :cry: was very dissapointed with them. Good review covered all bases, might try the taylormade next time I feel like trying new clubs. Hmmmm...

As always, a well written review that offers a lot of value to those interested in this particular club.
