Features
The popular Speedback technology features a low, back weighting positioned in between the two Baffler rails. This combination lowers the CG and influences the turf interaction to enhance the ball and club speed for improved stikes from different lies. This hybrid features larger clubhead and higher MOI with a straighter leading edge to help golfers to line up to the target in as they would do while using an iron. There is 15-gram tungsten weight which is interchangeable and which is fixed low and back on the head. This construction lowers the CG and delivers more speed with maximized ball flight.

Performance
The progressive face design distinguishes the face grooves and delivers different performance. The CNC milled V-grooves in the 4-7 irons maximize the distance so that they have the capacity to reduce the spin for a stronger and straighter ball flight, compared to the U-grooves found in the 8-PW which have the capacity to increase the spin for more control and accuracy. The grooves in the GW and SW are denser compared to the other irons for maximum spin, soft ball landing, and control around the greens. The progressive hosel lengths create different centers of gravity to customize the performance and optimize the ball flight from the short to long irons. One more peculiar feature that characterizes the latest releases coming from Cobra is the Cobra Connect Technology which is powered by Arccos. This allows golfers to monitor and keep track of their performance via the electronic grips and smart devices.

Cost and Value
Cobra F9 Speedback Hybrids are one of the most advanced rescue clubs ever made and they are impressive in several aspects. The revolutionary design, the Cobra Connect technology and the choice of one length, comprise their quality. Due to their technology and performance, thy are some of the most expensive rescue clubs currently on the market.

Features
The characteristic curvature of the face is considerably more pronounced if you compare it with the drivers from the same range because of the smaller size of the face, emphasizing the speed effect. This has been achieved with the use of the two-toned crown, which stands as a symbol of TaylorMade woods, and has marked their design within the last few years, constructed slightly differently to make sure that the curvature doesn’t interfere with the playability of the club. The steel body of the M6 rescue and the low Centre of Gravity deliver the easy launch of the ball adding more forgiveness, and making it much more playable than the corresponding iron. The Speed Flex technology makes the face thinner and faster compared to its predecessor, which increases its overall distance.

Performance
What you can also notice in the design of the M6 rescue as an inheritance from the woods is the Speed Pocket, which has been part of several previous generations and which has been proven to raise ball speeds on strikes lower on the face. In this model, it has been redesigned to add more flexibility and make it more effective. Unlike the driver, the face is not injected with resin for more speed, however, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is used to fill the slot which sits flush on the sole to deliver smoother turf interaction.

Cost and Value
With the M6 rescue, TaylorMade has reestablished the position of the rescue clubs on a higher level within its range, as the company has somehow overlooked them in the past. The full technology and its design, mirror the driver and fairway models, making the M6 Rescue one of the most sophisticated and playable hybrid clubs. And when it comes to the price, it does cost more compared to their previous models, but this one is somehow revolution on its own.

Features
Big Bertha is a very popular club and it is its forgiveness that made it a favorite among golfers. The low center of gravity and high MOI ensure this forgiveness which in turn results into maximum ball speeds. The speed frame design of the face is what makes the Big Bertha incredibly fast. Encompassing the face, it makes it thin and robust with incredible flex so that the trampoline effect is created and much faster speed is created throughout the face. All these features in combination with the UST Recoil Graphite shaft improve the performance, make it faster and more durable.

Performance

This kind of hybrid performance is rarely seen among hybrids and this is what makes it the most demanded club.

Cost and Value

This forgiving club features a low CG with speed frame face which means you get maximum ball speeds regardless of where you hit the ball. If you are looking for versatility and forgiveness then the Big Bertha can never be a mistake and it is always a recommendation.

Features
The L-shaped 455 stainless steel cup face is wrapped around the front of the club and makes it much faster than every other iron that the company has made. This design, with the face being welded on the front, makes it flex more, and deliver faster ball speeds. The Cobra engineers utilized 67 grams tungsten on the sole of the clubhead to locate the CG deep and low for higher launch angles compared with the traditional irons. The sole of this rescue club features a generous width with an optimum amount of camber for sliding through the turf without any digging. The one-length design matches the length, weight, and lie of the 7-irons and allows better and faster set up with the same body posture and playability.

Performance
If you are looking for optimal forgiveness and playability, these rescue clubs will deliver plenty, however, the sound might be a bit hollow. Yet, long irons are mostly needed for distance, so that is certainly what you will get. The adjustable hosel does the job very well and the customization and the optimum design will bring custom-fit performance. The lightweight Aldila Rogue Black 85 graphite shaft performs quite well, and it is definitely a speed enhancer. Since the feel is the key for better performance, it does deliver good feel with much more control. MyFly8 adjustable hosel offers five settings from 18° to 21°, and three draw settings at 18.5°, 19.5°, and 20.5°.

Cost and Value
This model offers playability to those golfers who are not into hybrids which means most of the better players and the players with high swing speed. If this description matches your performance then you will find them incredibly playable, not clumsy or senselessly forgiving, but controllable and accurate. The look at address is also very inspiring, it reminds of a classic iron, with a thicker top line.
Overall, the flexibility of King Utility with the high-end performance and its outstanding adjustability make it one of the best rescue clubs. Regarding its price, it is expectedly high, as Cobra King highly values its clubs which often come with a high price tag.

Features
The Hot Launch HL3 hybrid is made from 450 stainless Carpenter steel which has some improvements if you compare it with the previous model, especially in the face thickness, which is thinner and creates the spring-like effect that we can see in TaylorMade or Cobra models.

This low-profile design incorporates Variable Face Thickness technology that delivers more contact face points which yield better distance, and all those miss-hits will resemble on-center strikes! Hybrids are all about forgiveness so this model features expanded sweet spot which makes it very easy to hit from any lie. There is also a Power Channel on the sole located behind the face that adds more power, and the back sole weighting relocates the center of gravity further back to make the launch easier and longer.

Performance
Reading the features of this hybrid immediately creates the idea that these rescue clubs are supreme in quality and performance aspects, and you are not far from the truth. What golfers can truly expect from these clubs are more consistency, extra forgiveness, and more playability. With the help of the lightweight UST Mamiya shaft, you’ll see the ball flying high and longer, with enhanced stopping power.

Cost and Value
It is impressive to go through all that technology that Hot Launch features and the performance it delivers. Even more amazing is the relatively inexpensive price that these hybrids have. Sometimes, it might be even discouraging for buyers to see so many tech-packed products sold for a lower price, but those who are familiar with Tour Edge already know that it is the company’s policy to deliver value for the money.

Features
All GAPR models feature the same compact 455 Stainless steel, hollow head that is filled with SpeedFoam to dampen vibrations, modify the sound and increase the ball speed. The Centre of Gravity is positioned low in each of the existing three clubs, differentiating in the position of the weight. The face uses C300 maraging steel which is tougher than the standard, so this feature allowed TaylorMade designers to make it thinner, a characteristic that leads to more flex, and together with the SpeedFoam maximize the ball speed. The GAPR MID is the model that is designed for single figure players due to iron-like design and better feel. The weight screw is positioned in the sole behind the speed pocket, making the CG a bit deeper, which helps to get the ball airborne easily.

Performance
GAPR MID delivers higher trajectories that land steeply enough on the green. It also goes much further compared with the standard iron thanks to the larger head and sweet spot and the better speed angle achieved from the deep CG. When it comes to its sole, it is wider as you would expect from a rescue club, and it has the same Speed Pocket slot that the standard iron has to elevate the ball speed along with the faster face.

Cost and Value
The GAPR offers more offset and all together with the forgiving head, but at the same time faster face and enhanced feel, it is the iron replacement that many low and mid handicappers would go for. Mostly it is intended to fill the gap for the single figure players and even though it is on the pricey side, it is a valuable piece of equipment that you’d like to have in your bag.

Features
This is a more forgiving iron than the original, so let’s take a look at its features to see what makes it such. First of all, the forged 1020 carbon steel body that is combined with very tough SUP10 face insert delivers the soft feel that many of you are looking for, and at the same time makes the face flex more so that the ball flies further. However, it is its hollow construction with a low center of gravity that makes it very stable and considerably forgiving. When you combine these features with the possibility to adjust the weight following your preferences, and the lightweight stock graphite shaft, you get a very playable rescue club that will help you beat par.

Performance
On the difficulty scale, utility clubs are somewhere in the middle of hybrids and long irons. And if you are a better player, you know how important it is to have a playable substitute for the long irons but at the same time to have a feel, control, and more accuracy. If you compare this utility with the loft of the same iron, you can expect higher launches, further ball flights, and softer landing. Also, if you are looking for instant feedback, this utility club will provide you with plenty. And, of course, you won’t be playing with a utility club if there wasn’t more forgiveness compared to the corresponding irons, will you?
