I bought a Taylor #4 Rescue club - 22 deg. I thought this was going to help me get the ball up from tight lies, and also from trouble lies. After all- it's a "rescue" club, right? Maybe I bought the wrong club for the job. I don't know. I hit it okay at the range - like I hit most everything pretty well at the range. On the course, it's always a different story. I can't hit the club off the grass at all. Even at the range off a low tee - or the matt, I'm only hitting it 150 and that's a good, solid, clean hit. Most often I'm hooking it rather weakly, and 120-130.
Is it me? Well, of course it is. But do you think I had the wrong expectations for this club? I had thought it was going to replace my 3 or 4 iron. No way, Jose. I hit them both longer and more consistently. Now I'm ready to stick this new, expensive, and frustrating pos in the back of the closet, where it can keep company with my Alien, my chipper, and assorted other clubs that never worked out. I'd keep it in my bag for awhile just in case, but I can't do without any other club that is currently in there, and I always carry the 14 club limit.
