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."

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!

      Day 24 9-7 Worked on lower body movement with full swing. Focused on hips. Need to work on setup a bit. Was hoping to get to the short game area today, stayed home and recorded some swings instead. I've come to the conclusion I learn the most with my practice setup at home, just a net and a hitting strip. Overall happy with the progress this week.

      Day 2 (September 7), still with the grip and the medicine ball (using weights).   Still on vacation and really aching to be able to do a full practice the way I'd be able to at home.  Also bought a 1/2" section of pipe today at the hardware store and have been regularly practicing the grip with that too while watching Sunday football with the family.

      Day 1: Worked on feels for wedge swings. Primarily getting everything to move from the top of the backswing in the correct sequence.

      Day 6 (7 Sep 25) - Afternoon pitch session with the 54 and 58 in the backyard. Keys: Alignment - Setup - Smooth swing thru - working on each to be as “automatic” as possible - not mindless, but deliberately repeatable. I have found the precision required to properly execute carries well into the full swings.

      180% is the threshold. But yeah, many of them are close to 200%. Not 120 and 123%. People generate speed differently. I think your speed will come more easily when this stuff gets sorted out. Stay disciplined. Stay on the road. You can't get off exit 74 before you hit exit 32.
