 Golf Clubs - The Role of the Rescue ClubOne of the real success stories of present day golf has been the Even the best tour pros, renowned for their ability to hit the difficult long irons, now have them in their golf bag. It does seem that the standard No 1 and No 2 irons will disappear from normal use in preference for the easier to hit Rescue club, which for most of us is no bad thing. Most golfers would agree that they are plagued with inconsistency with any straight face long iron. Some high handicap players both men and women find that even trying to hit a No4 or No5 iron quite difficult. Well for you, the rescue club is a must. They work because of the head design. A shallow, but chunky shape of head with a broad sole having a low centre of gravity will always help get the ball airborne more easily than an equivalent lofted slim head. Rescue Clubs come in a range of lofts. Usually they can be found in 17°, 20°, 23° and 26°. Be careful when thinking of buying one. Make sure that you will not have too many clubs in your bag, covering the same angles of loft. For instance a 20° rescue can have the same loft as a No 3 iron, or a No 5 metal wood or from some manufacturers such as Callaway who produce their woods with very strong lofts, a No 7 wood. So try and make sure you understand the role that the rescue club will have in your golf bag. Ask your professional or retailer to measure the loft of your clubs, particularly the lofted metal woods, so that you can buy a club to fit within your current set.
Make sure you know the angle of loft required that best fits within your bag of golf clubs, and join the Rescue Club revolution.

arrival of the Rescue Club. Whilst not a new idea, they were produced in the 1930’s by the Standard Golf Company of Birmingham, in aluminium with virtually the same design as today, covering the same amounts of lofts; for almost all types of golfer, they work.
Another advantage a rescue club has is that it is shorter than a standard fairway metal wood. Being shorter in length means that you will be standing nearer to the ball and with a more compact swing, will find the club easier to make good contact with and achieve great results. Some golfers find that they prefer to use the rescue club with 17° instead of a No 3 metal wood that has 15° loft. Even though the No 3 should go further, from difficult or bare lies, the rescue wins hands down, as it is so much easier to hit correctly. May be the metal wood will disappear along with the long irons? Webmaster |
