TaylorMade Rescue Steel Fairway

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Paintwork

.... The V-steel is one of the older models from Taylormades collection but still delivers the results you would exspect from a brand new wood. The distance achiveable is far outstretched what i was exspecting, able to hit 250+ off the tee and 230+ off of the floor which will of course vary with golfer and shaft. A distance of 180 yards+ off both tee and floor even into strong head wind with a more lofted ball flight is achiveable which means distance is achievable in all whether conditions The shaft is made by Taylormade themsleves and weighs 65g which is lighter than many modern shafts avalible and is avalible in a number of flex's, and kick points. I myself own the stiff flex which allows swing speeds of 90-125mph meaning i can swing slower but still again achive distance. (Shaft flex will vary wiht swin speed so if purchasing a new club...

Advantages: Fantastic feel and a great roll
Disadvantages: None

...What makes any putter different from another? They are all used on the green to roll the ball into the hole aren't they? Well this range is a little different... The Taylor Made Nubbins range of putters is very distinctive in looks. They have an orange rubber insert covering the clubface (where you hit the ball) that has little 'nubs' protruding from it (a bit like lego!!).

This action reduces any skidding that may normally occur and promotes a great feel and roll on the green thus producing a good putt. Surprisingly the technology actually works!! These putters feel very soft and the roll... Read review

Advantages: Large "Sweet Zone", Accurate and Long.
Disadvantages: Superceded by the LD and Speed models.

...I have owned both the 3-wood and 5-wood in the Cobra SZ "Hyper Steel" Fairway Woods series for approximately 8/9 months and I have to say that I am very impressed with their performance. Previously I had not being a confident player with the fairway woods and had struggled for both confidence and consistancy. However, since changing to these clubs I have a new found confidence in my longer clubs and I believe that much of this is due to the amazing contrast between these and my previous woods. The deep face and large clubhead give assurance to even the least confident of fairway woods players and I think that the clubs appearance has had a major affect on me. Cobra advertise this "larger profile" as giving players "longer, more accurate shots" and I cannot argue with that from my experience. Cobra are becoming a dominant force... Read review
