What is the suggestion for a hybrid club....Taylor Made Burner Rescue or Mid Hybrid????

Right now I have a Taylor Made Burner Rescue in a 19 degree loft. My traditional irons are Callaway X18s. I hit my long irons just fine...as with my 5W. However...thinking that the hybrid is a versatile club that will be great in less than ideal situations where the lie isn't perfect, etc.

Thinking of changing out to a Taylor Made Mid Hybrid for its slighly more traditional hybrid configuration...and might even go to a 16degree loft.

What are the thoughts between the two clubs? Why select one over the other?
What is it like to have the Mid Hybrid in a 16 degree?
Any comparison to the Callaway X Hybrid

Thanks.

Here is my update...

I borrowed both clubs and here is what I found.

The TM Burner Hybrid was shooting the ball in a higher trajectory. Kinda nice...but it floated. Feel wise...it is better than most hybrid. But I couldn't tell where I was hitting it on the club face. Dispersion....ok. Not as good as a true iron...but good.

The TM Mid Hybrid had a lower trajectory...more like a 5w. At the same time...on the course...the ball had enough bite to where when it hit the green...it stopped. The feel was as good as the other club. Dispersion...good...perhaps tighter than the other club.

My choice in the shoot out...the TM Mid Hybrid.

The burner is designed for a high, straight launch with heapssss of forgivness. The mid is also the same but maybe a bit less closed face with a better feel i think.

I am sold on getting the 19degree after trying it out this weekend. I am also thinking of getting the 16degree version not only for the $99 price....but because it would be great on tighter courses.

Any thoughts or expriences on a 16degree hybrid?

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
