Taylor Made Rescue Dual

[jerryskids 6,790]

My kids' school has an auction coming up, and they have a deal with Taylor Made where we can get clubs at wholesale, plus they'll donate the same club for the auction. I've always thought about a rescue club to replace my two iron, so I went with the #3, 19 degree loft, configurable weights. Moved the weights to straight vs draw because I tend to draw naturally. Went to the range Sunday to try it.

 

Sweet mother of all that is holy, this club rocks! I tend to hit the ball relatively low; every shot was high and flying 220+, well over the 200 green into the base of the net. Carry was farther than my 3 wood or driver, although both were lower and total travel would be a little farther.

 

In two weeks I'm playing in a tourney at a target-style golf course, I may hit this thing every hole.

 

In the past I've joked with cruzer and others that real men don't use these kinds of clubs. Consider me converted. I highly recommend this club.

I'm new here and all but why should we care about your golf game? No offense, just wondering?

I'm recommending a club to the golfers here. Since golf is not football, it is discussed on the non-football bored.

Uh, OK, whatever you say buddy! Good luck playing with your club!

Bout f'ing time.

Thanks Jerry, I might test drive one.

I bought the 4-iron equivalent during the offseason myself. I have only used it a couple of times, so I don't know my distance yet. It feels good though

22 degrees

[Sho Nuff 720]

I have the 19 and 22 degree Taylor Mades...

 

Great clubs...took the 3 and 4 iron out of the bag and they definately help. Could have never been as consistent with the 3 and 4 iron as I am with these...and the high ball flight helps try and hold the greens.

 

Perfect for off the tee on those days that I am not controlling my driver or even my 3 wood. Good for the shorter par 4s to give me the perfect approach shot when trying to drive the green is not an option.

I can't hit a 4 iron worth a crap, this should be just what the doctor ordered

[D'ohmer Simpson 0]

I rarely, and I mean rarely, ever use my 2, 3, or 4 iron. You could throw the 5 in there too. I usually pull out the 7 wood. I should look into these 'hybrid' clubs I 'spose.

I paid $120 total. Didn't really research how good/bad the price was, as it helps my kids' school.

[swirvenirvin 25]

next year i will get a one of these this year was the new driver and new golf shoes.

 

Next year is a new bag and something like this..

 

hell i still hit my 1 iron

What clubs do you usually carry in your bag? If you have a 2 iron and a 7 wood, do you have no wedges?

[Cruzer 1,995]

I don't even carry a 3 or 4 iron - my arsenal includes: driver, 3wood, 5wood, 7wood & 9wood.

I have the 2-9, SW and three woods. I can easily see myself never using an iron lower than the 6. I really like a club with a good angle, so I can get loft. I love my 7 wood.

I really don't even know why people carry/use 2-irons anymore. Oh sure they may nut it 1 out of every 10 shots but Tiger, VJ and Phil have taken them out of the bag - that should tell you something.

Driver, 3+, 22 degree rescue, 19 degree rescue, 5-PW, 52 and 56 degree wedges and a putter.

 

Though I need something for the gap between the 3+ and the 22 degree rescue. Im pissed I got rid of my old 4 wood I had...though I have an old persimmon 4 wood at my parent's house that was my grandfathers...the Ginty. I actually hit it quite well so I will probably add that to the back for some old school flavor.

did I call you a cheater cause you had too many clubs?

How would my listing of clubs and you then calling me a cheater be construed any other way?

looks ok but i'll stick with my tight lies 2, 3-5woods

It was a joke. Sheesh sorry

 

I call anyone that uses that many woods a cheater.

My bad. I forgot that you have a horrible sense of humor.

 

See, I call people that use a foot wedge or a #10 handwedge cheaters.

anyone that is better than me is a cheater.

Who said that I was good?

 

I just look the part

[jerryskids 6,790]

The thing I'll miss about the 2-iron is that it was my club for punching low and long from under trees. I should be able to do almost as well with the 3-iron. Otherwise I almost never hit it off of the fairway, just a tee shot.

 

I used to carry an old beat-up 2-iron as well (a 15th club, I was a cheater) solely for punching out of desert rocks. I'm not a pro (or else I wouldn't be in the desert, duh), and I didn't want to bang up my good clubs. Unfortunately those clubs were stolen.

I'm your regular hacker. I could shoot 40's one day and then shoot 60's the very next.

 

Not on a PGA type course of course.

You know, this isn't as crazy as it sounds. It is not uncommon for me at all (when playing really tight tree-lined courses) to take my 7wood out and put my 3-iron in the bag, soley for punching out of trouble.

 

On second thought, maybe we are crazy.

Probably could have found one cheaper.

 

Because they are being phased out for the duals...stores have them for just over $100 around here new.

 

But you should like it...I prefer the steel shaft though.

it's like buying anything.. in 6 months it will be old news.

I think that model was the one I actually intended to get, but somehow ended up with the dual. I don't need the variable weights, as I said above I moved them to undo the built-in draw, I'd have been happy without all of that fuss.

 

Also I got the stiff shaft, because I swing like a man.

 

Happy hitting!
