Callaway Big Bertha 4H Heavenwood Hybrid
this 23-degree 4H Heavenwood Hybrid with a regular graphite shaft, convinced me to persevere with my search to find the ultimate rescue club.

I count myself among ‘the millions of golfers who struggle to hit long irons with any consistency’ identified by Callaway when it introduced its first range of rescue clubs in October.
However, this 23-degree 4H Heavenwood Hybrid with a regular graphite shaft, convinced me to persevere with my search to find the ultimate rescue club. At first it delivered a low-flying left to right flight, with a sting in the finger tips that was hard to control. Approaches seemed to roll on through the backs of greens, leaving an awkward chip back to save par.
The head is small and elongated on the eye, reminding me of those long-nosed persimmon-headed clubs so popular in the skilled hands of the JH Taylor, James Braid and Harry Vardon triumverate. But the strike is crisp and delicious and the ball flight towering and accurate once I learned to caress the ball into the air, rather than blast it.

Verdict | |
I’m not totally convinced by the emergence of ‘the Rescue phenomenon’ – the thought of its selection from my bag at opportune moments in the round tends to instill a negativity. But Callaway could well have found a niche for the model from those already hooked on their Big Bertha and Fusion brands | |
