I like my 585.H. But mine (with NV 85 shaft) has much too boring and low of a trajectory. I would like to find a hybrid with the best balance of rescue capabilities (for that is what I will be using the hybrid for.) I guess I should also try a different shaft in the 585.

What hybrid has no offset and a square face while offering more rescue capabilities (easy hits from iffy lies, high trajectory) than the 585? I am thinking about TM dual, but I don't like the closed face. Also considering the Cobra Baffler Pro/DWS. Besides the offset and the dual weight system can anyone comment on the differences between the PRO and the DWS?

Thanks for your help!

Adams Idea Pro, hit the ball with a boring trajectory, forgiving but workable, and comes with a Aldila VS Proto shaft which retails for 180, so figure you're getting a hybrid for $20.

Thanks for the reply - will try to test it out if I can find a place nearby me that allows this. Can any one compare the 585, TM Dual and the Baffler Pro?

take a look at the new sonartec HB 001, looks pretty nice... good luck finding the club in a shop to demo, may be tough

I'd also second the adams, a friend of mine just picked one up and its the real deal... a very nice, solid club. Looking to put one in my bag.

I am pretty sure the DWS doesn't have a closed face. I have heard good things about it. I am also looking for a swing weight of D3 - the DWS is D2. I may end up trying it out though.

What is the difference between the Cobra Baffler DWS/Pro models??

The DWS is more forgiving - think DWS is 460cc and the Pro is smaller sized

The Taylormade Rescue TP is not closed, or offset ( I think)

I am looking for something that will work best in bad lies. Will the TM Dual TP fulfill this role?

Would you say the Adams is a good club to use from trouble lies?

Thank you all for your help!

I can say with a lot of certainty that no hybrid is 460cc.

I was just making an analogy that the DWS is more forgiving.

My dad has rescue TP and he said it is great out of thick rough, and hardpan. The Adams has a driving iron like design so I don't know how it would perform

the adams played well from the rough, actually a lot nicer than my sonartec...

I found if I had a real deep lie or anything below my feet I had a real tough time controlling the adams

Haha yeah, 460cc would mean that it is the size of the larger drivers on today's market.

the new sonartec is good stuff man, not the most forgiving but if u do it right it really delivers. My hybrid is a prototype Adams A2Ts that i just got yesterday, its beyond awesome. Its square and workable, and out of the rough its pure magic. They sell them on ebay for not too bad (mine was 180 WITH a matrix ozik shaft). good luck

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
