Hi,

this may sound silly (nothing new there) but what is the diff between a resuce and a fairway wood? Are the used for the same thing or is one ment to go longer than the other ?

Cheers

Midnight

rescue is a iron replacement with a shorter shaft which could be 21degrees which is generally a 3 iron or 7 wood loft, fairway woods are normally 3 wood 15 degrees and 5 wood 18 degrees,rescues are easier to hit off the deck

Not silly at all.

Above description sums it up nicely. But, some rescues are easier to use than others dependant on h'cap and ability.

you can get rescues to replace 2, 3 and 4 irons and with a range of lofts depending on manufacturer (19, 21, 23 & 25 are fairly common). The shafts are almost always graphite and will appear stiffer than expected partly due to the difference in length compared with a fairway.
