PxExG Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I am looking for a 19* club that will primarily be used for 2nd shots into greens. I find I am straight enough with the driver to hit it on pretty much any hole. I am looking at something to bit perfectly into the gap between my SS-03 14* and Nike 3 iron (22*) I have a few hang ups so just bare with me. I really detest offset, its not a performance issue, but more so it just doesnt fit my eye. I like a traditional looking club but then again thats kind of an oxymoron - traditional hybrid :whistle: I am open to anything and price really isnt an issue. Lets hear your opinions!

mr_duffer Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 TM Rescue Mid 19* TP or Tour Issue. Retails have too draw bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PxExG Posted April 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 can you please elaborate on why the MD is so good - I have heard a lot of positives but now real specifics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBBED Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 First of all it has no offset like you're looking for. Second it feels great. Third I find it's more consistent that most other hybrids. I don't know what else you need to know. Try one out see how you like it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zojo Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 maybe check out the fourteen driving irons. i think a few guys on tour used one, including ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kooch1221 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Sonartec MD: Best ball flight, workability and feel of the hybrids Ive tried. It demands a higher SS tho. If you are a low ball hitter look elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2h2 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 I've tried them all and nothing is better, for me, than the Fli-Hi II 18* from Miz I ordered it 2* flat lie and love it, all the others are WAY upright for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleprov1x Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Personally I play the rescue mid 19* TP, which is a great club. I really like the MD as well, you can't go wrong with either. If you are going to go with a graphite shaft, I'd go with the Fuji 904, their new hybrid shaft, which is spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slicktry Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Either the Hogan CFT :love: or Cally Heavenwood :love: . They are both reasonably priced, and have very good playability characteristics. If you go with the CFT's you can prolly pick up 2 different lofts for the price of one MD.

hue Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Sonartec Md 19* . Mine has a fuji Tour Spec 904 HB . The thing is fantastic and great against the wind. The ball flight is so strong that the wind does not seem to bother it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PxExG Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Overwhelming response for the MD - I will definitely give it a look! I have a TP 19* on the way and am also looking at the Nike T100 from Chris. Anyone have experience with the T100? As a matter of interest - would a 21* MD hit too close to my 3 iron?

Schro5150 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Another vote for the Sonartec MD. I have a 19* and a 23*, both with the stock IROD shafts. These are quickly becoming money clubs. I have a TM Rescue Mid TP 14*, and the only reason I have it is because the MD didn't come in loft lower than 17*. With respect to the comment suggesting its difficult to get the MDs airborne, I've found that it's easy to set up like you're hitting a 5-wood with a standard length shaft. You really have to take into account the shorter shaft and set up closer. If I start hitting low, thin shots, I know I'm a little too far away. BTW, the MDs are great off the tee.

PxExG Posted April 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I ended up with a Bridgestone/Tourstage AirMuscle spec'd out how I like; 19* DG X-100 D4 GP TV Cord 40.25" :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys have sold their golfing souls to the devil..... if Taylor Made gave them a couple of mil to play golf with their pants down and a RAC dildo up their ass, well, the Koolaiders would be on a well known website remortgaging their homes to get a 2 dot TP version and golf would be shown on the adult channel! It's all a about shifting units, not about playing well. There's a whole host of guys out there locked into deals with flaky gear they can't play well with, Woods WAS one of them. The list goes on and on, Curtis Strange, Monty, Woosnam etc etc You give these guys too much credit, 80% of them play what they play coz it pays well, not because it plays well.

fernmeister Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 sonnartec Md. comes paired with a great shaft. really does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaldoJunior Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I would suggest a callaway heavenwood in steel. Tried one today and bombed it higher and a nicer flight than my taylormade equivalent. Feels a very solid club with a nice weight to it.
