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?
