Firstly, which is quite confusing, the club does not say R11 on it anywhere, this I found quite disappointing!
For someone new to the rescue/hybrid scene the new adjustable rescue offering from Taylormade might be a bit like being thrown in the deep end. Thankfully the confidence inspiring head and face shape allayed all my fears and I stepped up to my first few hits feeling far from nervy.
Even with my positive outlook it took a few range sessions and a trip out on the course or two before the club started to work but once it did the shot shape and feel from the face were beyond anything the 3 iron it replaced could achieve.
The first few good shots I got from the club were mostly from divots where no other low lofted club could ever have escaped, long gone are the days where I pitch it out and still have a mid iron to the green!
I have yet to fully explore the adjustability the club has but I can see that being able to choose to change the club will mean I can make it slot perfectly into my bag between the 5 wood and the 4 iron.
From good lies and the tee the low weight port really helps the ball get airborne, once you find the swing that works that is and this is the bit that takes the time. Before you find the right ball position and angle of attack the ball flight is very low but it still has more spin than a long iron so does not bound and run on out of control.
I must disagree with the magazine review that said the white head makes it look large and discourage the better player. I felt the white head had little impact and I soon got used to it. The club generally felt very compact but also easy to hit from all lies.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality rescue no matter what brand of club they prefer.

I bet I will have a horror day at BM after all my recent improvements! This club was instrumental in my two latest rounds, 39 points and an 82. Hit two of them to par our clubs SI 2 9th today!
