Description
This is a 5-hybrid from TaylorMade’s “Rescue Dual” line, with a loft of 25°, designed to replace a long iron (roughly a 5-iron/strong 4-iron equivalent). It features a graphite shaft around ~65 g in weight and a Stiff flex, aimed at moderate-to-faster swing speeds. It retains the hybrid design with adjustable weighting and improved sole geometry for better launch and versatility from various lies.
Key Features
-
Loft: 25°, positioned as a 5-hybrid in this Rescue Dual line.
-
Shaft: Graphite, Stiff flex, approx. 65 g weight (there are listings confirming 65 g for this loft version).
-
Club length/size: For the 25° version the published stock length (graphite model) is approx. 39" (39.0–39.5") depending on build.
-
Head design / weighting: Features dual “TLC” (TaylorMade Launch Control) ports allowing movable weights to adjust center of gravity (CG) and shot shape bias.
-
Sole / turf interaction: The sole uses a “T”-shaped or v-shaped design (in the Rescue Dual line) to reduce drag through turf and improve performance from tricky lies (rough, semi-rough, fairway bunkers).

Forgiveness / versatility: As a hybrid, it carries easier launch than a long iron and is more playable from a variety of lies — designed to help replace difficult long irons. The review notes ease of getting the ball airborne from bad lies.
