The TaylorMade Rescue 3 Hybrid at 18° is designed to offer the versatility and ease of use of a fairway-wood with the forgiveness and turf performance of a hybrid. Ideal for replacing a long iron, this club helps players launch the ball higher, carry further and attack those longer approach shots with more confidence.
Key Features
-
18° Loft Spec – Gives a higher launch and more carry compared to standard 3-woods, making it an excellent replacement for long irons or difficult high-loft fairway woods.
-
Graphite Shaft (~65 g, Regular Flex) – Lighter shaft weight helps increase club-head speed for many players and promotes a smoother feel. For example, used listings show 65 g Regular flex for this model.
-
Hybrid Head Design – Combines the best of long-iron and fairway-wood traits: easier to hit from rough or tricky lies, more forgiving on mis-hits, and more playable off the turf.
-
Suited for Left-Handed Players – If the left-hand version is used, this gives left-youth or left-hand dominant players access to the same features as right-hand models.
-
Standard Length & Lie for Hybrid Use – While exact specs vary by year/model, hybrids like this are typically built shorter than fairway woods for better control, especially useful with an 18° loft.
