What do I do with these clubs !

[LindmArden]

Hi there
Just started again after a long (very long) break.

I’ve been given a couple of clubs and I was wondering if these are fairway woods (if they still exist) or hybrids or rescue clubs which I don’t really understand

When would I use them exactly ?

They are a Taylor Made 3 wood 19 degrees and a Taylor Made 5 wood 25 degrees.

Thanks in advance for any advice

They are indeed fairway woods
you can use them off the tee, or off the deck

The 3 wood would generally go lower and further
whereas the 5 wood would go higher and shorter, depending on how you hit them.

Hybrids sit between fairway woods and irons, they are considered easier to hit, especially out of rough, hence the term Rescue Club.

get down the range, have a welly and see how they feel

What shafts are in the clubs (Stiff / Regular / Floppy)

They are fairway woods and are ideal for the longer fairway shots, easier to use than long irons

Wouldn't 25 degrees be closer to a 5 hybrid?

Thanks, heading to the range next week - so I should practice with them off the ground not off a tee ? Not sure on the floppiness of the shaft (won’t be googling that phrase)

They're both hybrids, both perfectly serviceable as long as they work for you
Try them out and see..

With those lofts and numbers they are hybrids also known as rescues . They are designed to replace the same number long iron. Nothing wrong with trying the 19 off a tee but it needs to be teed very low - no longer than about quarter and inch off the ground

Review: TaylorMade JetSpeed Hybrids

Pros: Miminimal vibration on off-center strikes and easy to hit from a variety of lies. Impressive distance, and $20 cheaper than SLDR. Cons: Some might not like the crown design, and the lack of adjustability is a bummer. Not very workability, and lots of spin at higher swing speeds (with stock...

I think you're right.
The original pic made the heads look bigger than they are

And the pale blue paint has worn off the sole, which I think is an improvement.

Yeah, 100%. They must both be hybrids with those lofts.
