They're woods ("metals" if you like Johnny Miller's term). The Rescue Dual and the Rescue Mid are hybrids.

You know better than to bring Johnny's name up in front of me.

Usually I associate Rescue = Hybrid.

then you're telling me that since it's also 4 deg. stronger (17 deg. compared to 21 deg.) that it would go much further than the 3i no? All I want to know is if I'm replacing my 3 iron (21 deg.) should the replacing hybrid also be the same loft?

Try the hybrid out and see if it fill your yardage gap (between your 4-iron and your 3-wood or 5-wood or whatever is your next longest club). That's the surest way to get an answer for yourself.

I use Adams Idea to replace my 4 & 5 irons and a Nike CPR to replace my 3 iron. I just love these clubs. Actually I sometimes feel more confident with these guys do then some short irons. They are great in the rough and are really easy to hit. Even they I get more carry than when I used a conventional 3,4, or 5, They don't go as high. So sometimes I have trouble with them landing soft on the green. But that is me and not the clubs I am sure.
The equipment is there...I'm not!

I have a CLK 20*. It's been very good to me. Previously I had a Halo, but I don't think the shaft got along with my swing (too whippy?). It setup and felt good, but shots would go left or right with little rhyme or reason. I know it could be operator error, but I can generally count on shots going the way I expect them to.

I was planning to have it reshafted in steel, when I came across the CLK with DG S300. I took it out for a demo and was hitting it so well (like 230 and straight off the tee and close to that off the deck) that I just traded the Halo for the CLK. I use the hybrid in place of a 5-wood/2-iron, but I'm thinking about getting one for the 3/4 iron slot.

I tee'd off on a hole, narrow par 4, with my 21 deg. hybrid. Got a good swing on it and pure'd it..the other two guys were screaming that they needed to get one..I just ordered it for them a little while ago online..since they are internet illiterate..but anyway..Wilson needs to pay me for showcasing their product..or at least kick down a few balls.

    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.   
    • So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all. 
    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
    • Can't remember who but some wise guy said "Arms up, body around"..😉. Anywho, been working on pinning my lead arm less and less to my chest in the BS. Decent progress with the arms, need a lot of work and trust for the 'body around' part.
