The TaylorMade SIM Max Rescue is a high-performance hybrid club designed to provide launch, distance, and playability. Featuring the V Steel sole design for improved turf interaction, the Speed Pocket for added forgiveness, and a C300 ultra-strong steel clubface for explosive distance, the SIM Max Rescue offers golfers a reliable and easy-to-hit option to replace long irons.

The Sim Max Hybrid caters to both beginners and experienced players. Its unique shape and weight distribution create an incredibly forgiving clubhead, allowing even the most wayward shots to find the fairway. The club's low center of gravity also contributes to a lower spin rate, resulting in straighter flights and increased carry distance. With its unique weight distribution and forgiving clubhead, even those off-center shots find the fairway. I’m a big fan of how it performs from tight lies.

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Hybrid is a versatile club designed to replace long irons in your bag. It excels in distance, forgiveness, and playability, making it an excellent option for a wide range of golfers. Key features include Advanced Inverted Cone Technology for maximum ball speed and distance, even on off-center hits, Thru-Slot Speed Pocket for more ball speed and forgiveness on mishits, especially on shots struck lower on the face, and V Steel Sole Design for smooth turf interaction. The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Hybrid comes with a non-adjustable head which doesn’t allow golfers to tune in their performance. However, that weight saved from the hosel is used elsewhere in the head to provide even more forgiveness.

The TaylorMade Rescue Mid Hybrid is a forgiving club. Its wide, low-profile clubhead, moderate offset, and Pull Face construction with a 455 steel clubface provide forgiveness and high launch. The Cambered double sole design enhances the player's ability to square the clubface at impact, while the thin clubface increases COR for greater ball speed and distance. With a high MOI and low, deep CG, the Rescue Mid Hybrid is easy to hit from all types of lies and promotes straight, long shots with high spin.

If long irons are your nemesis, the TaylorMade Rescue Mid Hybrid is here to save the day. Its unique "speed pocket" technology allows for faster ball speeds and greater forgiveness, especially when hitting from “less-than-perfect” lies, which none of us ever have….. The club's adjustable loft settings make it adaptable to various swing speeds and styles, making it suitable for anyone. While it may not be the longest club in the bag, its accuracy and consistency often outweigh pure distance.

The TaylorMade M4 Rescue is a hybrid club designed for golfers of all levels. Its split internal weights increase forgiveness and promote more ball speed across the face, while Speed Pocket technology preserves ball speed on low-face shots for added forgiveness and consistent distance. Geocoustic technology enhances the club's playability and feel, delivering shotmaking ability from any lie.

The M4 Hybrid is a game-changer for mid-handicappers looking to add distance and forgiveness to their arsenal. Its SpeedBridge tech and Flightspeed Face Cup deliver impressive ball speed gains across the face, resulting in longer shots. Whether you're hitting from the fairway or the rough, I find the M4 to be as reliable as it gets. The club's sleek design and lightweight construction make it easy to swing, perfect for those transitioning from irons to hybrids.

The Callaway Paradym X Hybrid bridges the gap between fairway woods and long irons, offering a larger clubface and easier launch for golfers who struggle with traditional irons. A key feature is the Jailbreak Batwing Technology. This innovative design uses internal bars to stiffen the clubhead at impact, allowing the face to flex more efficiently for increased ball speed and distance, even on off-center hits. Additionally, the Cutwave Sole technology improves turf interaction, making the Paradym X playable from a variety of lies for better versatility. While distance and forgiveness are priorities, the Paradym X Hybrid doesn't neglect accuracy. The larger clubface inspires confidence at address, and the slightly draw-biased design can help golfers who slice the ball find the fairway more consistently.

“

The Callaway Paradym X Hybrid is a great option for golfers who prioritize forgiveness over pinpoint accuracy. It's got a larger, more forgiving head than the standard Paradym Hybrid, and the Batwing Technology helps generate high ball speeds even on off-center hits. It’s not the most adjustable on the market, and it might not be the best choice for golfers who struggle with a slice. However, if you're a mid-to-high handicapper looking for a confidence-inspiring hybrid that launches the ball easily, the Paradym X Hybrid is a strong contender.

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Hybrid bridges the gap between long irons and fairway woods, ideal for golfers who struggle with long irons or desire more forgiveness from their fairway woods. Key features include a large head design with a low-profile construction. This oversized clubface inspires confidence at address and offers a bigger sweet spot for more forgiveness on off-center hits. The low-profile design contributes to a lower centre of gravity (CG). This lower CG promotes a higher launch angle for more distance and better carry off the fairway or tee box. Despite its distance potential, the Stealth 2 HD Hybrid prioritizes playability. The larger clubhead size and lower CG can help launch the ball on a more controlled flight for stopping power on the green, especially when compared to a long iron.

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Hybrid is perfect for golfers who battle shanks or struggle to get long irons airborne. It's got a large, confidence-inspiring head with a high CG to launch the ball easily, even on off-center hits. Plus, the massive sweet spot means mishits feel a lot better than they would with a long iron. It doesn't have the most pleasing sound or feel compared to other hybrids, the focus here is on forgiveness and easy launch, and the Stealth 2 HD Hybrid delivers.
