Metal Wood Technology

If you are looking for golf clubs that have combined driver strength, high iron counts, and fairway wood at such events as the PGA tournaments, then Taylor Made golf clubs may be exactly what you are looking for. They use what is called metal wood technology and have become famous for this design through the Pittsburgh Persimmon, Tour Preferred, Burner, and Burner Bubble golf clubs. These are extremely high performance clubs and sensitive devices. They are made with titanium heads, which makes them very strong and sturdy, yet very light while in use.

A few of the features that make Taylor Made golf clubs one of a kind and such a popular club among so many golfers is this:

The R7 Fairway Woods is made by Taylor Made. These clubs have what is called a Taylor Made Launch Control or TLC port. With the TLC port you insert a cartridge that is then installed and can also be removed so that the user can change the CG location within degrees of a draw or fade. This technology helps promote distance and accuracy.

The R5 Titanium Fairway is also a Taylor Made golf club. This club has a titanium head, which makes hitting very easy and simple, since the club is so light. This particular club has a permanent TLC cartridge within it. The TLC technology helps to promote striking the ball high, long, and straight, so that users do not have to change cartridges.

A V Steel Fairway Wood club is the ultimate in a combination of power, accuracy, and versatility. It is also a Taylor Made club and it was designed with a V shaped sole that increases the force and sole interact with the turf at impact.

Next, the Rescue Dual, another club made by Taylor Made has the double TLC ports on it. These dual ports actually have an increased forgiveness rate when it comes to misses and hits. There is a T shaped sole that makes this happen and increases the head stability and lessens the club head drag. All of this increases accuracy and improved distance, along with higher shots that are also longer. It has a lower center of gravity and it was made to be easier to launch than a long iron.

The Rescue Dual TP also has dual TLC ports from Taylor Made. There is also the movable weight technology used on this club. This improves the variation of degrees for draws and fades, which also means more forgiveness. The difference between the Rescue Dual and Rescue Dual TP is that the TP has a high center of gravity. However, this higher center of gravity allows for a lower, more piercing ball hit. Experienced golfers at times prefer this since it is easier to then manipulate the golf swing.

A Rescue Mid is the newest of the Taylor Made clubs and is looked at their breakthrough club. This club was designed to be easier than the standard long iron and has increased and improved distance. The club unites a high flash of inertia and the lower, deep center of gravity. You will receive the maximum in forgiveness when it comes to mishaps, but you will still have a higher launch, high spin, and long shots, with quick stops.

Lastly, the Rescue Fairway by Taylor Made has a low profile, which creates the low, deep center of gravity. It can hit the ball high, long, and straight. There is a double sole for improved play, which means a larger variety of lies. The club provides a high angle and high spin, carrying the shot farther.

Even though there are many clubs to choose from, these are some of the best available. You will be able to find the perfect clubs for your golf game. Through a little trial and error, you are bound to find the perfect clubs no matter where you are playing or when.
