Are they like fairway woods? Or can they be used as fairway woods? I've been having a horrible time trying to hit my V Steels. There a great club when I can get a pure shot but thats not very often at all. My buddy I play with occasionally, has a rescue and I strike the ball so much better with that then my V Steels. He has an r7 3 wood and then the rescue. I keep forgetting to ask him if he considers that one of his woods or not. I was looking into getting a couple of rescues but their all under hybrids and that confuses me as to what they can be used for. So can I use them for fairway woods or is this a bad idea?

Here is a link to a site that explains rescue and hybrids hope this helps.

i just got a rescue dual 19* yesterday and my 16* r7 4 wood should be at the pro shop next week. personally i will be using the dual as a replacement 3 iron but from what i understand they are good out of the rough. so i might use that instead of the 4 wood and keep the 4 wood for fairways and tee shots.

hybrids in general are replacement irons so i don't think you could consider them fairway woods. that being said, it is up to you which club you use and how you use it. i don't think there is many of use that would use a driver off the deck but i think it was els that did that last week.

this is JMO, but i hope it gives you something to think about.

I don't know what to classify my resuce dual tp 19* as except by distance...I am a pretty big hitter and although it is about 20 yds shorter than my 15* 3 wood, it is still plenty long and much more accurate and consistent than the 3 wood...it is long enough to have a shot at making all but the longest par 5s in 2 on my home course and that is about all that I ask for out of my 3 wood...works well off the tee and rough as well...

If I'm reading and understanding this statement correctly, they can still be considered a fairway wood. That'll work then. Now I can really start consentrating on getting some. Thanks for your help everyone. Anymore opinions are still welcome. Thanks again.

I'm not sure why this is an issue. They are easy to hit and you will get the distance you get. I have found that they are flexible and you can play the ball up in your stance, or back as the lie dictates. If you are more comfortable hitting irons than woods, then you may like them better than the fairway wood that gives you the same distance.

You won't get the same distance as a 3 wood because of the shorter shaft, but they are certainly a valid 5 or 7 wood replacement.

One thing I should mention is that I have found that the Taylormade's have a real tendency to go left. I find that if I sole the club and then take my grip they set up very closed. I have to hold them up in front of me and then set my hands. So be careful if you have problems with a hook. If you are slicer then no probs.
