I am currently playing both the Raylor Hybrids. I have nothing short of LOVED my purchase of my Supertri driver and R9 3 wood with the FCT. I love how you can just tweek it a bit to make it work best for your own self. I was wondering if anyone that is currently playing the Rescue TP Hybrids would say its worth the switch from the Raylor's?

cant say much about the Rescue TP's but i know i love my Raylor
and i am a hybrid hater too...tried like 4 different kinds w zero sucess

i used to used the original raylor back in the late 90's (damn...im old...) anyways......that was my go to money club
the new generation of Raylor is the same
altho i dont like the VooDoo in it, so it will get fitted w a PL Red next spring

Clubfitter said that success with Raylors depends on good swing set-up. Because of the boat-shaped sole, you have to make sure you don't let it rock to heel (pull) or toe (push).

I like my Rescue TP's from last year....but don't put a whole lotta stock in the adjustable hosel, you might be better off saving the extra hundred and just getting the stock Rescue and the sweet spot would be a bit bigger. The raylor looks like it could get you out of just about anything, even if you are running for your life from swamp thing in the lateral hazard :P I'd only worry about having to hit it from the fairway where there's not a lot of room to work with.

the Raylor is good from all lies....if you use it properly

it is meant to be hit like an iron (get ur lag on and hit down on the ball), not to be swept clean the club is genius out of the rough as well.....

i've got a raylor, and like it so far. i'm still getting used to it, but hitting from the fairway hasn't been too much of an issue. the jury it still out, since i got it to replace my 5W, which i can hit real well.

Wood/Hybrid: G20 3W, Raylor 19*, 22*

How is the stock shaft on the Raylor?

The RE-AX 65 (grams) is the stock shaft; has low kickpoint and medium torque. Comes in R and S flexes.

I finally bought a 19* Raylor yesterday (R-flex). I had test hit the club against my 5W a couple of weeks ago. 5W was about 10 yards longer in distance, but Raylor had much tighter shot pattern. Tried it out yesterday. On range, I hit some shots to a hillside target green; shots came in high, but checked up and released just a few feet. (One reason I replaced 5 wood: couldn't stop it very well). When hit off tee, Raylor went straight or a slight draw. On course, short par 5: Put my drive into second cut of rough. Knocked Raylor about 190 uphill to set up a wedge shot. You really feel clubhead on ball when you hit it decent. Feels like a mini tuning fork pinging. And as enis750 said, hit it like an iron. Note: Raylors are getting hard to find; don't know if TM will make a second phase model.

i bought mine used and it came w an 84gm VooDoo (no idea if its aftermarket or not.....)

a 65gm seems light for a hybrid.....no??? i am going to order a PL Red HY shaft for it next spring and see if that works better the VooDoo just feels like a$$ to me but you are right, this club it pretty tight, i also hit mine w a nice high draw.....GREAT club!

Called up the Raylor specs, but segment was black-and-white, and didn't mention shafts (Raylor out of production?) Yours might have been a custom order originally.

I did, however, find custom shaft options for TM hybrids. The site shows 65 grams or less for some hybrid shafts. http://www.taylormadegolf.com/mainle...l?IsPopUp=0#30 TM has staked their name on lightweight shafts in drivers and woods the last few years.
