It can be said that rescue club (or hybrid) is a breakout innovation in golf club design, with many improved functions to fully support players from amateur to professional. As listed below are 3 reasons making rescue club a “lethal weapon” on golf courses.
- A PERFECT COMBINATION OF WOOD AND IRON
A rescue club “selects” the standout features from 2 traditional clubs and as well “deselects” the limits that unhandy for golfers. Specifically, an iron set is considered pretty hard to use due to its long and heavy clubs such as 3 and 4-iron, small club heads and loft, making hitting the ball right and fly up high not so easy to several people. Meanwhile, a wood club has a quite big and heavy head, longer and lighter shaft, which is also an obstacle to control a swing. Rescue club was born as a “rescuer”, with an average head in terms of size and weight, a medium long shaft and especially super light and handy, bigger loft angle, all together can help lift the ball up and far away without too much effort. Just try some swings with a rescue, you will feel more comfort and power than with an iron as well as more accuracy than with a wood. Plenty of professional golfers have completely replaced 3, 4-iron and even some woods like 5,7-wood with this “almighty” club.
- “RESCUE” IN ALL TOPOGRAPHIES
When golf balls unluckily drop in hazards like bunkers, roughs or unfavored lies, it’s the time for the “rescue” showcase as its name. In a high and thick grass, the head design with protruding and slim leading edge will get it through easily by minimized resistance, along with a behind CG will prevent it from turning at impact. Even a simple shot can lift the ball up and fly away from a hazard, while using a fairway wood or an iron requires a lot more technique and accuracy for the same result. In a similar case, at fairway bunker, instead of an iron to blast the sand without saving the ball, just swing basically with a rescue, shorten the backswing to ¾, fully swing and speed up at impact, you will find the ball take off and land on fairway or even green. Moreover, with normal hit on fairways, tee-off or chips near green, you can also use this versatile club effectively.
- ABSOLUTELY HANDY
Large club face maximizes the sweetspot area, even for mishits or inaccurate swings. The CG is distributed evenly reducing MOI, helping club head stable at contact with the ball and prevent spinning. Medium length and weight shaft is easy to control and adjust swing speed. Big loft angle and adjustable (for most rescue clubs nowaday) will fly the ball simpler and more effective. All combines to create this “magical” golf club named rescue, which is more handy and accuracy, absolutely “friendly” to golfers at any level, especially to beginners.
