TaylorMade SIM2 Max Women's Rescue

The women's rescue ladder starts at 22 degrees, not 19, and runs up through 25, 28 and 31. That's four heads aimed squarely at replacing long irons a golfer has probably already given up on. Lengths come down in half-inch steps from 39.25 inches to 37.75, all at a C8 swingweight, so each club in the run feels a little more controllable than the one above it. Every head carries the same maraging steel face in C300.

Aldila NV Ladies 45 shafts go into every build, ladies flex, and grips are Lamkin Ladies Sonar at ladies size, 38 grams of them. All four are right-handed. Neither the hosel nor the weighting moves, which keeps the club light and the fitting decision down to loft alone. Two of these in place of a 5 and 7 iron is a common and sensible bag change.
