TaylorMade SLDR rescue review

GM verdict: Although it may seem hard to believe, adding extra loft can help you find added distance. This is because the CG has been moved forward to keep spin down and, subsequently, you require added loft to get the most out of the design. The head size and shape will be familiar to many who have used TaylorMade Rescue clubs before, and is extremely versatile. But... some players will find it difficult to accept the amount of loft they need to get the most out of the design. Testing before purchase is essential. PGA pro verdict:In recent years, hybrid clubs have become very similar in terms of the performance on offer, but this was very different. The flight was penetrating and powerful, reminiscent of a well-struck long iron. The head design was pleasing and the colour scheme subtle. The appearance at address gave the impression that I was looking at a long-iron replacement club, rather than a small-headed fairway wood. The factory loft setting worked well for me, but many will find improved performance by adding more loft than they normally would. To ensure even distance gaps between clubs, it’s important to get a fitting. Test Team Rating:Performance: 4/5Visual appeal: 4/5Innovation: 4.5/5Value: 4/5Overall: 4/5
