The game of golf is hard enough without making it any more difficult for ourselves by using equipment that requires absolute precision timing.  Modern-day equipment has allowed golfers to gain a greater consistency in their strike, improving overall distance.  One of the main differences between a modern-day golf club to those in the past is that the hitting area on the clubface has become much larger, meaning that mishit shots are less punishing than before.

Long irons for most golfers are nothing more than excess baggage that gets carried around in the golf bag, only to be used on the odd, ambitious occasion.  So it’s time to put your practical head on and bin your long irons and replace them with a rescue club.

Golfbuyitonline supply an extensive range of rescue clubs from the best names in golf including Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno, Nike, Ping, TaylorMade, Titleist and more.  Some of the rescues on offer include Callaway FT Hybrid Rescue Woods, Nike SQ Sumo² Rescue Woods, Ping G10 Rescue Woods, TaylorMade Burner Rescue Woods and Titleist PT 585-H Rescue Woods to name but a few.

Callaway FT Hybrid Rescue Woods increases the MOI for superior forgiveness.  The sole is designed with a lower leading edge, making the sweet spot more accessible for various skill levels. The dual runner sole design ensures cleaner turf interaction for more flushed shots.

Nike SQ Sumo² Rescue Woods are designed to deliver exceptional stability at impact and produce high launching soft landing shots.  The optimised Centre of Gravity location makes it easier to get the ball off the ground and deliver pin-point accuracy.

Ping G10 Rescue Woods are engineered with a sloped crown to create a high-launching, solid feeling, versatile alternative to mid and long irons.  Six lofts provide replacement options from the 1-iron through 6-iron in addition to fairway woods.

TaylorMade Burner Rescue Woods are extremely light total weight with light shaft and light grip which promotes faster swing speed for added power.  The Pull-Face construction promotes faster ball speed for increased distance.  TaylorMade’s Burner Rescue makes it easy to launch higher and further.

Titleist PT 585-H Rescue Woods blend the best playing characteristics of fairway metals and long irons to provide greater versatility and shot making options from the tee, fairway and rough.  Developed with input from touring professionals, the new Titleist PT 585-H offers fairway metal-type launch with a flatter ball flight for iron-like control.  The sleek, teardrop shaped clubhead of the Titleist PT 585-H sets up perfectly square for a confidence-inspiring appearance, and a wider, shallow face offers a larger hitting area than an iron. The wider face and deeper Centre of Gravity provide greater forgiveness versus long irons.
