Used to play the 18 and 21 degree models, but the better my swing got, the more problems I got with them. I play Mizuno MP-33 blades and a Taylor Made Firesole wood, they all have very little to no offset, except the Rescues. First I eliminated the 18 degree and used the 21 degree just, well, for rescue shots, which worked fine. But the less I needed it, the more I got in trouble with it, the swing change was too big. I use now Mizuno FlyHi's, which match my swing much better. Conclusion: if you use clubs with strong offset, no problem, you'll get the perfect utility wood. But give it a try first. Even if I don't use them now, I didn't regret the time with them, they saved my game quite often.

Great club!!! I got a 21 degree Adams GT I-wood a month ago and I loved it. I wanted a 15 degree utility club to take the place of my driver because I have a little problem with a slice. I find the shorter shafts of utility culbs leads to a more vertical swing path and less slice. Adams makes their GT I-woods only down to 18 degrees while Taylor Made makes a rescue club in a 15 degree model. I couldn''''t pass up the deal at Golf and Tennis World for Taylor Made Bubble shaft rescue clubs for only $99.00. The club hits well and will be my final driver replaement.

First of all thanks to those who wrote a review of the Rescues on this site-both positive & negative. It was because of unbiased opinions that I knew what to pay attention to. The Rescue I got is fantastic. I demoed the 18 & 21, S70 & R80, steel & graphite (btw thanks to Roots & Relics of Honolulu for their 7-day used club no question-asked refund/exchange policy-they understand the game enough to allow their customers to discover the right club for themselves). I knew from positive reviews that I had to trust the club and work with it. The negative reviews alerted me to the need to be patient. The used club I got had no scratches and only a little red dirt that I easily brushed off. The former owner gave up on the club too soon. You got to get used to it because, like one guy said, you can''t swing it like an iron or a wood. I bought the Rescue with the intention of using it in lieu of a 3 iron. To do this I find that I must choke down a bit and swing easy. I believe now that I will be using it to replace my 3 wood too. When I use a normal grip and take a full swing I can easily sail the ball over 210 yards straight down a corridor when hit nicely, shorter distances when hit a little fat, but still playable. In a way I feel that my 3 wood has failed me because the Rescue is so versatile, easy to hit, more consistent, and farther reaching. It''s a great club. Final note: a friend learned I was going to buy the Rescue and strongly advised me not to because he felt that it doesn''t replace the traditional woods & irons. I''m glad I didn''t listen to him because I can either finesse or slam the ball with the same club. Tradition has to make way for what works and works well.

I finally got fed up enough with my problems off the tee. I went out and bought the rescue club. I've always been a better iron player and I'm a pretty long hitter. However, hitting a 4 iron off the tee about 220 yards won't cut it on the longer holes knowadays.

I took it out for the first time this past weekend. In wet conditions, I found myself hitting this club about 240-260 yards with much more control than any wood I've ever hit.

I've had a little trouble with it off the fairway and rough, but I think that will come with a little more usage. It's probably more my swing than the club.

If you're a long hitter and have trouble keeping balls off the tee on the fairway with your driver and 3-wood, the Rescue is a great alternative.

Not used with this club. But had good experience in the past.

This club could be my savior. Just picked it up, and after hitting it I found the club to be straight as an arrow and long (over 200 off the ground, up to 220 off the tee) as well. Once you get a hang of it, hitting this club is a cinch. Its got a great feel at impact when you hit it true, but definitely gives you feedback if you don't hit it on the sweet spot, which is great. If you can find it for a bargain on ebay or elsewhere, less than a hundred bucks for a brand spanking new rescue club will be the best bargain you ever got.

This is one great club.Most versitle club I've ever used.The first time I used it on the course was on a par 5.I was 250yds.out in the rough on the side of a hill and put it 20 feet in front of green.This club can do so much more than my 3 iron.It's great out of fairway bunkers,rough,and great for chipping.I'm thinking of buying an 18* & 24* that's how much I like this club.

I purchased this club to fill in the space in my bag when I sold my gap wedge. Up to this time I carried only a Driver and 3 wood. I have always been a strong long iron player and preferred irons to fairway woods when hitting off the deck. This club it fantastic. I use it off the fairway for 210-220 shot, out of the rough for any thing longer than 170 and out of bunkers for longer shots. It is my go to club for any shot off the tee that requires around 220 - long par 3's into the wind or short par 4's. It is so much more forgiving than a 2 iron and easier to hit than a 5 wood. I would say this club has helped reduce my handicap by at least 2-3 strokes. I used to shoot around 83-87, now I shoot around 80-85. I'll keep it in the bag even if my playing partners look at it with wierd glances. They do until they see me hit a few times and then they want to know what it is. I play it with a Dynamic Gold S300 shaft, which I prefer over the bubble shaft.

Love is not a strong enough word to describe my feeling towards this club. If you are looking for a club that will make that 200 yrd approach your favorite shot; BUY THIS CLUB. The $200+ you will spend at a retail store for one of these is a bit pricey, but if you can find one on e-bay for < $125, you will be very pleased with your purchase.

OK, but not that dependable. Maybe the 21* and 24* are better. Get great shots from the fairway, but unpredictable from the rough. More consistent with my Tight Lies 5 wood. Might try the new ST Tight lies. The club did suprise me with a great shot now and then, but hooked it when I really tried to crank one.

Don't like the proprietary shaft tip size. Forces you to send them a club (though a reatailer) back to them for any chages.

I tried this club hoping to find a club that I could use essentially as a driving iron. I play links style courses that are very tight and unforgiving to balls that don't catch the fairway. I am a pretty long hitter who was more interested in getting a club with accuracy and versatility and that is exactly what I got. It took a little getting used to because you can't swing it exactly like a wood or an iron. However, once I got used to it I was very impressed. I can do everything with this club - hit hi and low, draws and fades, hit it off the tee, off the deck, out of the rough, out of fairway bunkers, and even chip! I have never had or hit a club quite like it.
A great club for the price that I paid, but suggested retail is a bit steep for a club that is probably going to replace a long iron.
