Watch
Rated highest for workability and feel; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a 0-10 HCP at 95-120mph ball-striker who wants the most workable hybrid of 2024 — neutral CG + face-angle-adjustable hosel + forged C300 iron-like feel + low-spin penetrating flight for shaping shots into long par-3s and par-5 second shots.
You spray shots across the face, you need maximum forgiveness, you want a wider 5-6-loft ladder, or you need a max-MOI GI head (use the Qi10 Rescue or Max Rescue instead).
Pros
- Most workable hybrid in 2024 — class-leading shape-shifting capability with no built-in bias
- Only Qi10 Rescue with an adjustable face-angle hosel — opens/closes face for shape tuning
- Forged C300 face — iron-like premium feel and quiet acoustic distinct from Standard/Max
- Tour-spec spin (2800-3800rpm) — much lower than Standard (4200-4600) or Max (4800-5300); penetrating flight for ball-strikers
Cons
- Compact pear-shape explicitly trades MOI for workability — not for golfers who spray shots
- Narrow 3-loft ladder (17°/19.5°/22°) — limited fitting flexibility
- Should only find itself in the hands of confident ball strikers — better-player-only fit
- Lower-spin profile may shed altitude on poor strikes; less stopping power into greens
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidInternal heel-toe weighting provides added forgiveness with a more compact look. Thanks to the addition of the same Twist Face technology found in the Stealth 2 Plus hybrid, mishits stay in play more often than not. Compact pear-shape design limits absolute MOI vs GI hybrids. Average forgiveness — internal heel-toe weighting + Twist Face corrective angles help, but compact tour profile explicitly trades MOI for workability.
Distance
StrongIndependent testing: spin rates were 2800-3800 RPM with the Tour model, compared to 4200-4600 RPM with the standard Rescue and 4800-5300 RPM with the Max. Thru-Slot Speed Pocket is designed to optimize ball speed on low face hits. Forged C300 face for ball-strikers seeking distance + workability + control. You feel the strength of this contact and know that you earned the distance. Above-average distance — low spin (2800-3800rpm) maximises roll-out for ball-strikers but absolute carry trails Standard Rescue and Max GI variants.
Workability
ExcellentHeadline framing in 2024 reviews: Most workable hybrid in 2024. The Tour Rescue allows you to move the ball in any direction you choose with no built-in bias — your swing decides if you're hitting it straight, drawing it, or cutting it. The Tour model is the only Rescue with an adjustable hosel for opening or closing the face to promote a particular ball flight. Tremendous versatility and workability. A beautiful, compact look at address for ball-strikers. Top-tier workability — class-leading 2024 workability claim + neutral CG + adjustable face-angle hosel + compact pear-shape geometry.
Feel
ExcellentReminds us that hybrids are meant to be part iron with a feel that's more solid and iron-like than explosive — a lot of satisfaction in feeling the strength of this contact. Forged C300 face gives an impact feel and sound more like a forged iron than the standard or MAX alternatives. Clear feedback with an obvious change in impact sound between pure strikes and mishits — you can feel the impact location precisely. Top-tier feel — iron-like forged C300 sensation with precise impact-location feedback; distinctive premium ball-striker feel signature.
Sound
ExcellentIron-like sound and feel with a quiet impact sound. Clear feedback with an obvious change in impact sound between pure strikes and mishits. Forged C300 face gives an impact feel and sound more like a forged iron than the standard or MAX alternatives. Above-average sound — quiet iron-like acoustic with clear strike-quality feedback; tour-style distinctive acoustic signature.
Looks at address
ExcellentBeautiful, compact look at address. Compact from heel to toe and front to back with a distinct pear shape. High-toe deeper face provides a look and performance for players seeking the ultimate combination of distance, workability, and control. Top-tier address — beautiful compact pear-shape with high-toe profile + deeper 13.7mm face inspires confidence for ball-strikers.
