I think i'm going to get a taylormade rescue hybrid, but I'm not sure what loft. The distance that is empty right now is about 190-210. I have a 3-wood that I hit fine, and my next club is a 4 iron. So, do you recommend the 19, 22, or 25?

Also, check out this auction...looks legit...thats where I"m thinking about buying it. Seems like a great price.

190-210 sounds like a 2 iron...i would actually recommend the 16 degree..it replaces the 2 iron--i have a 15 degree callaway x 3 wood--but i have the 16 degree taylormade rescue mid because the shaft of the hybrid is also shorter....the 16 degree kind of acts like a 4 wood...this i may recommend to you...best wishes

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I would say around 180-190? 190 if I hit it square...

Really? Sounds like a 4 or 5 iron to me. It could be a strong 3 wood for others.

I have a 3 Hybrid and I hit it 215-225. I would normally hit a 3 iron 210-215. I would see if you could demo a hybrid and see which loft fits your gap

Most hybrids do have a draw bias, but the Adams Pro series and the Taylor Made TP series hybrids do not. I would think the Titleist hybrid wouldnt either, but Im not for sure.

I am a Taylor Made guy, however, I don't like their rescue clubs, I bought a Cleveland HALO 19 degree 2 Iron Hybrid, it's a great club, felt much more solid and loftier than the TM rescue or burner rescue. Plus because it is a 2006 leftover, the club was only $80. It is good for around 225-230, nice and straight.

They have them in 3's and 4's as well....

I want to pound the MEATHEAD & The METROSEXUAL from the Slazenger RAW commercial..

I too recommend a 22 as it will give you the flight and distance.

Good luck!

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
