TaylorMade 2017 M1 Rescue

A sliding track in the sole was the headline claim here, a first for TaylorMade's rescue line, and it carries one 27 gram weight that parks anywhere along its length to set the bias. Loft moves as well, a full 3 degrees of it through the hosel sleeve, which is a wide window for a club this far down the bag. Lofts hold at 17, 19, 21 and 24 degrees on multi-material heads that stay compact all the way up.

Kuro Kage Silver in the 80HY weight covers X-stiff, stiff and regular, with a 70HY handling senior. Up top, Lamkin's UTx Cord comes in black and green. That texture is a quiet tell about who this was built for, someone who plays in weather and wants no slip in wet hands. Left-handers are limited to the middle pair. If the adjustment holds no appeal, the M2 rescue does much the same job without one.
