TaylorMade Stealth Rescue Hybrid

Hybrid Options & Stock Shafts

Players Distance Hybrid

The Stealth Rescue is the hybrid TaylorMade built for golfers who quit fighting their long irons. It slots into the 2022 Stealth family alongside the carbon-faced drivers, though the Rescue itself keeps a steel face because that is what works best in a club this size. You get real ball speed and a launch window that most players simply cannot produce with a 3 or 4 iron.

This is the standard, non-adjustable Rescue, so the loft you buy is the loft you play. TaylorMade sells it in lofts from roughly 19.5 degrees at the 3H up through the 7H, which means it can replace one long iron or three or four of them depending on where your gaps open up. The C300 steel face and the Speed Pocket slot behind it are the two pieces doing the heavy lifting on off-center and low-face contact.

Calling it a Players Distance club is a bit generous. The Stealth Rescue is a game-improvement hybrid at heart, forgiving and easy to get airborne. Better players will still gravitate to it for its predictable turf interaction and a shape that sits down cleanly behind the ball rather than looking bloated.

• You struggle to launch a 3 or 4 iron and want carry distance you can actually hold a green with.
• Your bag has a gap between your longest comfortable iron and your fairway wood that nothing currently fills.
• You play off tight lies and firm turf where a wide, digging sole gets you into trouble.
• You want forgiveness on mishits without paying for an adjustable hosel you would never touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the TaylorMade Stealth Rescue adjustable?

No. This standard Stealth Rescue has a fixed hosel, so you set your loft by choosing the head number when you buy it. If you want to tune loft and lie, you would step up to the Stealth Plus Rescue, which has an adjustable sleeve.

What lofts does the Stealth Rescue come in?

TaylorMade offers it across a range from about 19.5 degrees in the 3H up through the higher-numbered heads near 31 degrees. That spread lets it replace anything from a single long iron to a stretch of them, depending on your gapping.

What is the difference between the Stealth Rescue and the Stealth Plus Rescue?

The Plus adds an adjustable hosel and a sliding weight for shot-shape and loft tuning, and it plays a bit more compact for stronger players. The standard Rescue is simpler, a little more forgiving, and easier to launch, which suits most golfers looking to replace long irons.

Why does the Stealth Rescue have a steel face when the driver is carbon?

The Stealth drivers use a carbon face to save weight over their large heads. In a club the size of a hybrid, a C300 steel face delivers better ball speed and durability, so TaylorMade kept steel here. The name is shared, the face material is not.

Is the Stealth Rescue good out of the rough?

It handles rough well for a hybrid. The V Steel sole cuts down the contact area so the club glides rather than snagging, and the Speed Pocket keeps ball speed up on the low-face strikes that heavy lies tend to produce.
