I have in my bag a Taylormade R7 TP 3 and 4 iron, the 3 never gets used and the 4 rarely so I'm considering upgrading to a rescue. Now I am very brand loyal and like the look and styling of Taylormade stuff so would prefer the older R7 or more up-to-date Burner but I'm confused as to which one to get. My understanding of the rescue is thta it is a bit of an 'all-rounder' so is there any entry-level club? I suppose in time I could buy a more lofted or less lofted club if the need arises.

I have the #4 07 Burner rescue. It is a 22* loft. I bought it since I do not have a 3 iron in my set. I love the rescue. It took me about two times at the range to get the feel for the club, but now I am hooked. Some people like them and some people hate them!!

I have an old Hippo steel hybrid but the head is the size of my 3-wood, TM's heads are so small. I've read you hit like an iron, not a wood - correct?

Ya you are very correct buy hitting it as an iron it will get more height and spin. But dont be fooled because although the 3 rescue/hybrid is the same loft as the 3 iron it will go farther because it is a wood. Hence a 4 Rescue would be around a 3 iron, Get Me?

Here's an idea for you: a TaylorMade V-Steel 7 wood, 21*. It has a nice clean look at address and really gets the ball up in the air nicely. Nice club for those long par 3s, too.

I had problems at first because I was swinging it like a wood. I soon realized that I should just hit it like a regular iron. After that, the club has worked out really well for me.

As you can see from my sig I have bought into rescues as iron replacements, I double up on the six so I have a reasonably long iron for lies that would scratch up the bottom of my hybrids. I love the small heads and very solid feel of the TM hybrids, oddly enough the #3 is the smallest head!
I am also very brand loyal and see TM as the perfect balance of quality, technology and affordability.

    • Day 39: did top golf for an hour with the family. It was fun but also not really like real golf at all. Also did some mirror work - working on the backswing stuff mostly. 
    • Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.  
    • Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball. 
    • Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).
    • Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.
