Great club off the tee and out of the rough. However, it has a tendency to leak slightly right on me (but is straighter off the tee than my 3 wood). But a lovely sounding powerful well made club.

Why mid-/high-handicappers still carry long irons is a mystery to me. I have been playing hybrids almost as long as I've been golfing (started with some old Wilson ProStaff hybrids) and have found that they instill confidence on some very doaunting shots.

Got the 16* to replace my 5 wood, which would balloon in the West Texas wind I play in. What a difference. The slight offset (much less than the regualer TM RM models) allows me to hook, cut draw or fade on demand. The distance i comparable with my old 5 wood (23 yds with no wind), and the 19* and 22* fit in nicely for 215 and 200 yards shots respectively. Great off the tee, particularly hitting soft, high cuts into long par 3s. Great out of the rough (just open it up a little, and the head glides through the grass). Love to bump my 22* around the greens, too.

Only complaint was the shafts (stock graphite stiff). Just replaced them with DGS300s and haven't had any trouble since.

As far as what kind of swing to use, that's up to the player. Noticed that they work better when the ball is swept, not when I hit down (unless hitting a severe cut).

I have replaced my 3W with TaylorMade Mid Rescue 2 (16* loft). I already have Mid Rescue 3 (19* loft), and like the feel, so I considered Mid Rescue 2.

Length of this club, Mid Rescue 2, is in between 3W and 5W. You get 3W~4W equivalent distance with forgiveness and accuracy of hybrid club. I was able to hit 250yd+ with the Mid Rescue 2 (16* loft) consistently.

I highly recommend this club to any level of players.

These clubs are stroke savers. From tee to green this is a great product. Off the tee I hit my 19 degree 200-215yds. on avg.(230 longest to date)and my 22 degree 185-200yds. with a slight draw(My normal flight is a fade with all other clubs) I use these clubs from about 15-20yds off the green to chip with. I just use a normal putting stroke and the ball stays on top of the grass. My avg. putting distance has decreased and I am finding more G.I.R.'s with longer par 3's. These clubs are long, straight and forgiving. A must have in your bag.

The best utility club I have ever tried for its forgiveness and accuracy. I have purchased 19 degree loft one, and consistently hit 220~230yd straight. I am considering replacing my 3 wood with the same club with 16 degree loft. The best of the best I ever had.

Bought last year and had middling results with the club (#4)until recently. Tried it all year and kept pulling to the left. Read a suggestion in a golf magazine that suggested using same swing as one would with an 8I--tried it and it cured my hook. Since then this club has been my go to club under many circumstances. Finally, after many years, have figured out that I cannot hit a fairway wood with any consistency and now that I have figured out how to swing this club--my 3, 5, and 7 woods are in the garage. I only carry a driver now and on many tees I am using this Rescue Club to tee off because, if the fairway is narrow (read has houses or out of bounds nearby) the rescue club has really saved me shots. I agree with other reviewers that many of the problems with hitting this is due to putting it too far forward in the stance. I like it so much, I have ordered the new dual rescue 2 and 5 to fully replace all fairway woods. You really appreciate this system when you hit the Mid Rescue uphill into the wind--the ball flight just seems to bore thru the wind. Using this club has dropped my recent scores by an average of 8 strokes a round (or, leaving my 3 wood at home has resulted in the scores--hitting the 3 wood consistently has always been a problem). I would reccomend this club to anyone that likes to hit 180+ straight shots. Compliments to Taylor Made.

I read a lot of reviews before buying these clubs, and my research really paid off. I tested the 22* at a local store and decided to go with the stiff shaft. The regular shaft felt a bit whippy to me. The first thing I noticed is that these clubs are very easy to hit. The 22* averages about 175 yeards with great accuracy. This is now my preferred approach club from 170-185. However, in my first full round with these babies, it was the 19* that really stood out. After a poor drive on a long par 5, I went with the 19* to advance the ball. Excellent feel and solid shot went right at 200 yards. Still left with 195 to the flag, I hit this club again for my approach. Smooth swing, focusing on tempo, I put the ball to within 8 feet and sunk the birdie putt! As for the 16*, it is a true 3 wood replacement club for me since I have never been really comfortable with any 3 wood. I will use this primarily off the tee on short or tight par 4's or to advance the ball on par 5's if the lie is good. Teed up this one goes 225 yards or better. To sum up, these clubs inspire confidence, and we can all use that. They give a muffled 'tick' sound when hit properly, quite pleasing. I shot an 81 with three double bogeys yesterday, so I expect these clubs to help me break into the 70's soon. I may choose to replace the shafts but it's too soon to tell. Taylor Made has a real winner in these hybrids. I got two of mine on eBay for $80 each.

Picked up a mid 3 from Edwin Watts pre-owned bin for $80. At the range, the very first hit was solid, straight, and about 190. Makes a sweet sound at impact, too. Brought a smile to my face. I hit 8/10 shots in the "fairway", and clearly had some mis-hits that *should* have been wild shot that somehow stayed playable with this club. This club is amazing, and inspires a lot of confidence, which at my level, is half the battle. I'd recommend giving it a try - works for me!!
