Looks - I like the white head on a smaller club, with the awesome gunmetal face.
The adjustable hosel is also an interesting addition.

For those that are interested in this product from the get go, what is the main attraction right now? Looks? Early feedback? Big fan of the Rescues?
For me it is purely based on looks, which is not really a great reason. It does look wicked though!
At first is was looks for me. The white on black look is awesome IMO. Secondly after your first initial thoguhts with it JB, it seems like this is a great club. I haven't hit the TM Rescues before, but I have the SuperFast -er SuperLaunch Rescues and was mighty impressed with it. If it performs as good as it looks for me, this may be a winner.
He also said that it didn't hold a candle to the Mashie. The TM rescue is a lot like the Adams Superblack to me, have you hit that hybrid?
I haven't TC, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I know JB said that the Mashie is still firmly planted in his bag, but I don't recall him saying it was a terrible club. That's mainly what I was going after.
It's not a terrible club and I never said that he said that. It's just very different. It's not near as forgiving as the Mashie imo. It certainly doesn't offer the same launch and high ball flight either. At any rate, what works for some certainly doesn't work for others and vice versa. I'm not trying to crucify the Rescue b/c it is a good hybrid, it just isn't really comparable to the Mashie, but not much is for me.

because you have hit it?
I have not hit the white one that is coming out, but when I hear that it is just like the one from last year, except white, then that tells me what I need to know, b/c I have hit it, and the one from the year before. I think the difference is that it is white.
ahhhh, you could be right, you could be wrong. but I would think before you make statements regarding the clubs you should have evidence. JB has hit both and you may have spoken with him about this very thing. But, right now, we are all going on having hit the mashie and seeing pics of the R11
If you liked the Rescues in the past, you will love the Rescue 11. It has that same sound that you are used and is quite versatile as a hybrid. I found the distance similar to the hybrid I have been playing but it launched a little lower. Not a ton, but a little bit. I had no trouble with left or right today and keeping the ball straight was quite nice.
how's this for ya:
keep on skimmin' skim shady, haha
hahahaha...busted. yet again. IDK, I guess I am just one that will hit it myself before I knock it out of contention. did you erase the skimmin remark, I quoted it but dont see it in the OP.

To me that sounds like a good initial review. I could be wrong, but to me that seems like the Rescue is a good club, and definitely worth looking at more. It may not be a Mashie, but to me JB's thoughts make it seem reasonably close. I could be wrong though.
and you know that I will hit this one as well, and who knows, it could blow me away, but based on previous statements, if it is comparable or similar to past models, the Mashie is much more forgiving. That's all I was trying to say. I seem to be quite controversial today. Not trying to be.
My whole point is getting lost in translation. The Rescue is a good club, but he said it's similar to last years, except that this one is white. I've owned the Rescue and imo, it's nowhere in the realm of forgiveness, high ball flight of the Mashie. I believe that those features could benefit golfers who need more forgiveness and higher ball flight (more carry distance).
