TaylorMade SIM Max Women's Rescue

This ladder opens at 22 degrees, then 25, then 28, finishing on 31. Four right-handed heads, each half an inch shorter than the one before, running 39.25 inches down to 37.75 at a steady C8 throughout. C300 maraging steel forms the face of a cast stainless head with no carbon in it anywhere.

Shafting is ladies-flex graphite under a light grip, and no part of the club adjusts, which keeps it simple and leaves loft as the only real decision. Most golfers end up carrying two, standing in for a 5 iron and a 7. What surprises people is the top of the ladder: a 28 or 31 degree head shaped like this carries further and lands softer than the iron it replaced, which is the entire argument for owning one.
