TaylorMade Rescue Hybrids 2009 Review
The Rescue Hybrids2009 is a throwback in a way as the clubhead size is similar to
the original Rescue Mid as opposed to the over-sized hybrids being put on the market today. The Rescue 2009 boasts a "two-tiered, monochromatic crown and silver clubface" which is huge improvement in my opinion over the Rescue Mid's appearance.
A crown decal is "strategically positioned" in order to make alignment easier so that your clubface is positioned properly to your target-line, thus helping out with your accuracy (although you still have to make the swing).
The Rescue hybrid's size, while similar to the original Rescue Mid, also boasts UTW technology in the crown, so weight is saved and moved in order to lower the center-of-gravity location.
The sole has been redesigned and has recessed areas in the toe and heel to lessen turf interaction and reduce twisting or slowing down clubhead speed. Any time you have less of chance to chunk one is a good bit of design.
The Rescue 2009 comes in two flavors, the standard Rescue and the Rescue TP with the big difference being that the Rescue TP hybrid has the same Flight Control Technology (FCT) technology that's in the R9 driver and fairway woods, while the standard Rescue hybrid does not. For those who like to tweak their clubs, the TP version might be for you.
The Rescue TP hybrid comes with the Aldila Voodoo VS8 graphite shaft with S-core technology, which has an internal carbon-fiber rib system to stabilize the shaft's cross-section. According to Aldila, "S-core technology increases the Voodoo's hoop stiffness by 80% compared to conventional graphite shafts, allowing the Voodoo to better resist ovaling and deformation during the swing, which in turn maximizes energy transfer to the ball to promote increased distance." This allows the shaft to be constant throughout the swing which leads to greater consistently in order to square the clubface to the ball with more regularity and giving you
The Rescue TP comes in X, S, and R flexes. More options abound as the Rescue TP hybrid is also available in two custom shaft options, the Fujikura Motore 85 graphite hybrid shaft and the Matrix Ozik Altus Hybrid graphite shaft; both in X, S and R flexes.
The standard Rescue hybrid comes with an Aldila RE*AX 65-gram graphite shaft and in S, R, and M flexes is offered in 2-wood (17), 3-wood (19), 4-wood (22), and 5-wood (25) for righties and 3-wood (19), 4-wood (22), and 5-wood (25) for lefties. The Rescue TP hybrid is offered in 2-wood (17), 3-wood (19), and 4-wood (22) for righties and lefties. Both become available on May 1st. The Rescue hybrid will carry a MSRP of $199 (street of about $160) while the TP version carries a MSRP of $249 with a street price of about $200.and it becomes available at retail on May 1st.
