Do Golf Rescue Clubs Really Help?

Golf rescue clubs are so much easier to hit than the long irons. It was in the 1930’s when these rescue clubs were produced. Rescue or hybrid clubs are manufactured to posses a low gravity center. This quality of the club creates a spin in which the ball can get airborne easier. It is said that soon the rescue club will take the places of the standard #1 and #r 2 irons. For those who experience difficulty with the long iron, the rescue club is for you.
The head design of a rescue is different in that the head is chunky shaped and broad, rather than the slimmer design of come clubs. You do not want an overload of clubs covering the same angles of loft. Always, whatever rescue clubs you choose to buy, be sure to match what is already in your golf bag—you don’t want to end up with a set of mixed matched clubs.

A rescue club is not as ling as the long irons. This allows a golfer to stand closer to the ball. This will make the swing more precise. A rescue club with a 17 degree loft works better than a metal wood with a 15 degree loft. Some golfers find it much easier to use the rescue as it makes it easy to hit from bare or difficult lies. The rescue or hybrid club is a new wave of clubs that are especially made to take the place of the more difficult to hit long irons. When a golfer purchases a standard set of golf irons it is 3-PW, which is 8 irons. But some of these irons (namely the 3,4, and 5) have proven hard to hit uniformly well. Rescue clubs are a hybrid breed—a mixture between a wood and an iron. Like a normal wood club, they posses the easier to hit element. However, the head of the club allows more room for error or weakness because it is larger. These golf rescue clubs are also as accurate as an iron but the shaft is much shorter. The club has a significant amount of control with its similarity to an iron face. A beginner at golfing should not yet replace their 2 iron with a rescue club (this interchange should only be done by an experienced golfer). The amateur will do well in replacing the 4 iron with the more forgiving rescue club. As you progress, you can exchange the 3 and 5 iron in your bag for the rescue club.

One who would rather use a wood than an iron should consider using a rescue club off the tee.

A rescue club shaft is comprised of steel or graphite. Steel shafts are probably more precise. However, graphite tends to be more flexible material and is lighter weight. The graphite shaft supplies the golfer with more head speed. A beginner golfer will get the greatest use from a graphite shaft. Now, if you are more experienced and want to save money, opt for the steel shaft as it is less expensive.

Because a hybrid or rescue golf club is so much simpler to use than an iron, some men like to say that it is a “sissy club”. Not so! Many men are using the rescue club to produce a more rewarding golf game.
