The name of TaylorMade's latest fairway wood, the Rescue Fairway, reflects its heritage. Because the Rescue Fairway incorporates features of TaylorMade's very popular Rescue Mid utility club.
The Rescue Fairway, like the Rescue Mid, is engineered to combine a high launch angle with high spin-rate, resulting in high, long-carrying, fast-stopping shots.
TaylorMade's engineers used the same Pull-Face steel construction and low profile employed in the Rescue Fairway as is used in the Rescue Mid, but lengthened the Rescue Fairway's clubhead from front to back and widened the clubface. Those changes were made to create an exceptionally deep, low center of gravity, a feature that adds forgiveness, particularly toward the toe and heel.
The Rescue Fairway features moderate offset to help golfers square the clubface to the ball. Because of these features, many of which should help recreational golfers with distance, TaylorMade was able to take a half-inch off the length of the Rescue Fairway. Less length increases clubhead control, which helps with accuracy.
The Rescue Fairway also shares the Rescue Mid's double sole design, which reduces the amount of sole area that contacts the turf. That means less resistance at impact, promoting solid contact.
TaylorMade's Rescue Fairways will be available in four models: 3 (15 degrees), 5 (18 degrees), 7 (21 degrees) and 9 (25 degrees).
Shaft options include TaylorMade's new MAS2 55 graphite shaft and Light Metal 2. The MAS2 55, available in S, R and M flexes, is engineered with a soft tip to increase launch angle and spin-rate. At 55 grams, it's one of the lightest fairway wood shafts that TaylorMade has ever used. For players that prefer steel, the Light Metal 2, delivers improved launch conditions in a steel shaft. Available in S and R flexes.
