Great club. Very easy to hit. These will definitely replace your long irons. I'm able to take the 3I out of my bag and put the Mid4 in it's place. I have plans to replace the 4I with one of these in the near future. Be sure to try these before you buy. Select the right # so that you don't duplicate 3W, 5W or 7W distances. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to hit and how far you'll lauch the ball with your swing. The best way I can describe these clubs is that it's as easy to hit as a wedge and gives the distance of fairway woods!

These clubs are great. They are very easy to hit and to get good distance. You can hit them off the tee and off the fairway with great distance. These are great for anyone who has trouble with their long irons.

Model Reviewed: TM Mid Rescue 3&5

This is my third summer playing golf and my third summer not being able to hit any iron under a 5I. I read the reviews on this site about rescue clubs and decided to give them a try. Armed with $500 dollars (Can) and many nights after work on the Golftown simulator i bought the Mid 3&5 Graphite stift shaft. They are hands down the two easiest clubs to hit in my bag now. No longer do i sweat the long approach shots now i look forward to them. these clubs will make the weekend golfer feel like a scratch golfer. High, long, and straight what more can you ask for

I purchased a #4 Rescue Mid with graphite shaft about a month ago via eBay. The club is a pleasure to hit and very versitile anywhere from 175-195 yards. Taylor Made claims that these clubs will add yardage vs. comparable iron-and they do. The Rescue Mid is easy to hit and gets the ball up very quickly. Rescue Mids are replacing my 3 and 5 irons and I'm putting a Rescue Mid 2 in my bag as well.

Model Reviewed: Rescue Mid 3

I knew hybrids existed but didn't know much else about them. Thanks to this site I gave one a try. All I can say is I'm glad I did. Their performance is phenomenal. This club is a breakthrough. I've been golfing 35 years and more than metal headed drivers or longer balls this club will lower your handicap and bring enjoyment back to your game. I bought the three but can't see how I can do without the four and maybe even the five and two. The ball gets up easily from most any lie and flies long and straight. Mis-hits make you look like you know what you're donig too. I'll skip posting my yardages because they're meaningless to you but let me just say that whatever you hit with your three iron the rescue will be at least 10 yards longer and maybe even 30. And 100% more reliable. Once you try these you'll never reach for a long iron again. Mine has the regular graphite shaft and I found no "whippiness", it worked fine. Fades and draws may be harder to produce with the Rescue but unless you're Tiger long and striaght works just fine. I haven't had to use it around the green but I'm certain you can chip with it wherever you would try a fairway wood but with more ease and control. Gary McCord said he thought 70% of pros (a seperate model with lower lofts for them) carry a hybrid in their bag regardless of whether TM pays them to play it or not because it's just plain easier to hit. A tip when playing just think of it as an iron, move the ball back in your stance just a hair and swing like you had a mid iron in your hands. You'll be amazed at the result.

Model Reviewed: TM Rescue Mid # 3 Reg Flex Graphite

This is a versatile club; it's taking the place of my 3 iron, 4 iron, 5 and 7 woods (and possibly my 5 iron, if it doesn't shape up!), and I was truly surprized to find a fairly new club used (left handed, yet!). I can take a casual swing and put it 150 yards pretty straight time after time, I can lean into it and get 170-180, or I can just punch it and get something in between. It has to be a really bad or fat(or too hard/out of control) swing to flub a shot with this thing - no more of the fairway wood "Why in the he-- is it going over there?" shots I seem to make too many of. Much easier to aim and swing than a regular fairway wood; swing it easy. I'm not seeing the 200+ yarders some people are claiming, but I only swing my driver 90mph. My only complaint is that I can't get it to work as well out of light rough as my Heavenwood.

Wanted to replace 3 iron with a more versatile club. How many times do you actually use your 3? Tried the TM Mid #3 in a simulator. Nice trajectory and long. Too long. Well hit shots were going 250+ yards. Opted for the #4. Nice out of all types of lies and useful around the green. Try before you buy. The #4 is more like a 3 iron for me. May replace my 3 wood with #2. Nothing will replace my Burner 420.

Model Reviewed: Taylor Made Rescue Mid # 2 Reg Flex Steel

I'd heard great things about this club and I thought it would provide an alternative to fairway woods, as that's the weakest part of my game. I have to say that it exceeds my wildest expectations. So easy to hit straight and long, whether it's off the deck , off the tee, or out of the rough. As a result I'm getting more enjoyment and less frustration out of the game. It's also boosted my confidence and I'm sure it will lower my h'cap. What more can I say? Not everyone's cup of tea judging by a couple of reviews I've seen, but I've found it nothing less than a revelation. My only regret is that I wish I'd tried one sooner.

Model Reviewed: 2 and 4 Rescue MId

Let me tell you something. I was skeptical at first when I first picked up the clubs as I was going mostly on reviews from this and other websites. I purchased the 2 and 4 model in a stiff flex, as my swing speed tends to average around 102 MPH (Clocked at Pro Shop). My main reason for the purchase was as a replacement for my long irons and conventional fairway woods (5 and 7) as I have never really been able to get solid hits off them. I took the clubs out to the range the same day I purchased them and was absolutely amazed. I was getting off some real solid hits off the mat and the tee within the first 15 to 20 balls. I had the occasional hooker, but for the most part I was hitting some nice fades consistently. With the 2 model I was hitting around 200 - 220 yards and with the 4 model around 170 - 180 yards plus or minus 10 - 15 yards I guess. Trajectory for both these clubs is favorable as far as I can tell. The 4 being loftier really makes the ball get down once it hits. I tell you I just cannot believe how easy to hit and controllable the Rescue MId's are. If you are having the same problems with consistency as I was with my long rons (2 - 4) and fairway woods (5 and 7) I really recommend you give these a shot. If you vary your tempo, you should be able to use these for various distances and replace quite a few clubs in your bag, leaving room for more wedges. I tell you I'm sold!

Model Reviewed: Taylormade Mid 3&4 rescue

I was struggling with my long irons and not doing well consistently with my fairway woods. I have Orlimar Hipsteel 15 and 20*. I demoed a Cobra ss 5 wood along with the TM mid 4 and could not believe the performance. Shot after shot was perfect trajectory. These are the easiest and most comfortable clubs I have in my bag. Maybe it's my age(51)but I would highly recommend these quality sticks to anyone struggling with fairway woods or long irons. If there was a higher rating than 5 these would qualify.
