Taylormade RBZ or R11/R11s????

If you get the RBZ irons, just remember that the reason they go further is because they're even more delofted than regular modern irons, having each iron play about 1/2 club longer than other modern counterparts. However, I have heard good things about the RBZ 3-wood, and have seen it in the bags at tournaments more than any other 3-wood I can think of off the top of my head, even with people who don't have another Taylormade club in the entire bag. The driver's of either tend to be more of a preferential thing, depending on what you are looking for. The R11 was about 5-10 yards shorter for me, but it was more accurate than the RBZ when I tried them for laughs when testing irons.

I dont currently have a fairway wood. Is it worth having these as well as a rescue/hybrid?

Depends whether you ever need to hit it shorter than your driver, but longer than a hybrid. If you never anticipate having a shot in that 50-60 yard gap, then there's no need for a fairway wood.  But I can't imagine anyone who doesn't need one, assuming they can hit it as well as their other clubs.

Kind of a silly question, really.

RBZ 3 wood is phenomenal off the tee! Off the fairway....not so much. Lots of turf drag. I bought one and then traded it for an R11 3 wood. RBZ driver is pretty awesome and so is the R11s. I hit the RBZ irons and thought..............yuck! Unless you are sold on TM, I'd at least give the Cleveland CG16 irons a look. Awesome in my opinion.

^^^ This!

I Started playing this game thinking Callaway was the only one for me, especially for the driver, and ended up with a bag full of fitted Callaway clubs.  Now I have a hodgepodge of a bag because they just happen to be THE clubs that work best for me.  I never thought I would ever have a Cobra club in my bag, but the AMP driver has just totally blown me away!

I'm not the good person to ask really. For long i was a fan off the TM TP irons and i didn't like the drivers,

right know i like the woods but not the irons. as said above they de loft all the clubs easy to hit them further that way.

For my feeling they are to springy of the face. I now use the Mizuno's MP 59.

but i should get fitted, the only thing that works

I got fitted for the stock RBZ 4W and 7W last summer. After I took a lesson and started moving through the ball better, I began hooking the RBZs badly.

The regular (non-tour) RBZ fairway woods have 45 gram shafts, and tend to be a bit unstable if you have even average swing speed. They also have a draw bias.

As per Willie, I found the RBZ good off the tee or out of medium rough, but iffy off the close-cut fairway! A pro at a golf expo said the RBZ doesn't have much bottom-weighting which would help get uncushioned fairway shots up. 

The RBZ Stage 2 FW has a heavier 59-gram stock Rockef Fuel shaft, and a rework on the speed groove behind the clubface.

Test out before you buy if at all possible.
