  Great club to use, very forgiving, but hits high shots

Okay, first off, for those unaware, there were 2 types of clubs in the first Rescue series. The Rescue Mid and The Rescue Fairway

The Rescue Mid is a nice little club, but to be honest, it has a slight tendency to draw the ball, which I found really annoying, and is why Taylormade released the Rescue Dual model. Ask any pro or golf shop dealer what the general consensis was on the Mid range, and they will tell you a slight draw is common. But they are very easy to use, and from the rough, they are 2nd to none, producing long easy shots, as the shafts are a lot shorter than their cousin, the Rescue Fairway. The lofts come in the following:
2h - 16 degrees
3h - 19 degrees
4h - 22 degrees
5h - 25 degrees

The Rescue Fairway is a fantastic club. They come in 3 models, but be careful, they claim to be a 3Wood a 5Wood and a 7Wood, but the lofts are a little incorrect. All the Fairway models, produce a fairly high flying ball, but reasonably long and penetrating which is great. They do not fade or draw badly, and if they are hit well, they go dead straight, its amazing to watch.

The 3Wood is fantastic, but its 17 degrees, so it hits more like a 4 Wood. It is so so easy to hit long straight shots that I fell in love with this club.
I often prefer this club to a driver as it is often better to be only 190 yards down the fairway, than 240 yards into the water.

The 5Wood is also exceptional, but it is 20 degrees, so again, its tendency is more to be a 6Wood, and can sometimes hit quite a very high ball, but still gives fantastic accuracy.

The 7Wood is useless, its more like an 8 or 9 wood, and bubbles a lot, so that you're better off just using a 7 iron.
The lofts of the Rescue Fairway are:
3Wood - 17 degrees
5Wood - 20 degrees
7Wood - 23 degrees

Having said all that, I would strongly suggest that you try the Ben Hogan range of clubs aswell, and see which you prefer, as I found the Hogan and the Taylor Made were the best of all the rescue models that companies have made.
