When is the new stuff going to come out?

[eyevan]

In the quest for the RIGHT hybrid (for me,) I think that I've narrowed my search down to the TM Rescue Dual TP. The only thing that is stopping me from pulling the trigger is the price tag in the $190 range on eBay, and how Taylor Made likes to change their models every other day. I would just hate to purchase one today, and by next week the price drops to half because of a newer version.

Also I am looking to getting the pinseeker 1500 w/ slope (although I am not so worried about this changing).

Is now the time to buy, or is after Christmas?

Thanks in advance.

Don't get the one with slope. It's a waste of $50 or $100 or whatever it is. The "slope" feature is silly.

Not to mention 100% illegal. You can't even use it in a tournament, even with the slope feature turned off. Just get the non-slope one.

I don't know what kind of Christmas specials Golf Gods is going to have, but you can save 10% on your order any day there by using any of the wildly available coupon codes. Here's one:

Thanks for the reply guys.

Iacas, I thought that you said that the slope feature was cool from your review? And about it being illegal in tournament use, well I don't see myself playing in a tournament anytime soon. I'm actually planning on using the range finder for new courses, and for when the driver gets a little wild (which is sometimes a lot) to get a yardage back onto my fairway or green without having to use trig. Also, did I miss the review on the 585h? I too am in the 15% population of the hooks, and it kind of sucks that almost everything in the market is geared towards the other 85% of duffers. I have the R5 TP with the Diamana shaft, so I am guessing that the TP Dual would be a great fit.

Hey, if you are looking at hybrids, try the new Mizuno Fli-Hi CLK. It has less offset, and a great look. I have one on the way, and am looking forward to getting it. I also have a Bushness Pinseeker 1500, and I could not be more happy with it! Great piece of hardware!!

The TM Rescue Mid is as good as the Dual TP and a hell of a lot cheaper ($40 used on Ebay). I played the 19 and the 16 degree loft with the stiff steel shafts until I became a Titleist snob. Although the 585H is growing on me.

I owned the CLK for about a week, and the Nickent 3DX hybrid for about the same time too. Both of them gave me MEAN hooks, so bad in fact that I went back to my 2iron. I know that they work great for most, but I'm just not one of them. Which is funny since I can play MP 33s, but I can't hit a freakin 3 wood off the deck if my life depeneded on it. Which is also a reason why I tend to stay away from wood type hybrids.

I'm just looking for a 230 off the deck club that doesn't hook, is that so much to ask?

I thought that you said that the slope feature was cool from your review?

The strongest positive I ever called it was "Quite handy!" Later I said it was "quite a help." That's hardly a glowing review of that feature.

And about it being illegal in tournament use, well I don't see myself playing in a tournament anytime soon. I'm actually planning on using the range finder for new courses, and for when the driver gets a little wild (which is sometimes a lot) to get a yardage back onto my fairway or green without having to use trig.

Yes, but do you ever play with people? Do you ever play a $5 nassau? They may be pissed off, too.

It ain't worth the $50. It's a "quite handy" feature that's "quite a help," but $50 to put you on the illegal side of things ain't worth it. And the review was written before the finalized USGA ruling(s) came out.

Also, did I miss the review on the 585h? I too am in the 15% population of the hooks, and it kind of sucks that almost everything in the market is geared towards the other 85% of duffers.

In a couple weeks this review will be done.

I have the R5 TP with the Diamana shaft, so I am guessing that the TP Dual would be a great fit.

I moved away from my TP to the 585. I couldn't stop hitting the ball way up in the air with the TP.

I hear you with hooking your fairway woods. I have to play my 585H back in my stance a little and play it like a 7-iron or I get hooky with it. I'll hit it about 210 or so. For 220-230, I love the 906f2 5-wood. I hit this straight, really straight. It has the Alidila stiff shaft in it, which might make the difference. The ball flight is so boring and penetrating. I demoed a 3 and 5 wood with the Titleist stock shaft and I got a little draw/hook action, but not that bad. But, I think the Aldila is perfect. There is also the DG S300 option for a shaft, but I found that I hit those same fairway woods about 10-15 yards less. The clubhead on these fairway woods is awesome, not too big, not too small, and has a bit wider face like a hybrid. Alright, I'll stop drooling over my 5-wood now. Good luck.
