 |  | | Posted: 23/02/06 | | 'EFFECTIVE BUT EXPENSIVE' |  | Strengths: I've never struck long irons consistently well. I am prone to push, pull and occasionally duff fairway woods. Consequently, rescue clubs in general are a godsend for a player like me. I can consistently hit a 19 degree model 190-200 yards (210 off the tee) fairly high with a hint of draw: indeed this club is the only club I can guarantee will move gently right to left. It's highly usable from off the green too, especially from 'iffy' lies, and it represents a very sensible option off the tee. |  | Weaknesses: That the tool to change the weights is not supplied as standard is scandalous. When people complain that TaylorMade are rather too eager to draw money from the customer I was formerly sceptical - this has now wholly convinced me. That aside, I think the feel off the face is dead - rather like the first generation of carbon-crown drivers, it is very difficult to tell how well you've hit the ball. Also, I think it's too draw biased - now I'm swinging more in to out, I'd be scared of hooking this. And, like all rescue clubs, I think it tempts the average player to take on shots they'd be better off not trying! |  | Overall: If you suffer from a slice, and want a versatile club which gives you real potential from 200 yards out, this must be an attractive option. But I think it's too expensive, too draw-biased and too dull off the face. All in all, not for me. |
