TaylorMade SIM2 Rescue vs Qi10 Rescue
Shape Your Shots or Save Your Misses?
Which to choose
The biggest difference is forgiveness. The Qi10 Rescue is the forgiving one. Testers found that toe, heel and thin strikes still flew straight with tight dispersion. The compact, iron-like SIM2 Rescue loses speed and carry on heel, toe and low-face misses, and it is harder to get airborne.
Their flights differ too. The SIM2 flies lower and more penetrating, while testers saw mid to high launch from the Qi10. The SIM2 is workable both ways and helps golfers who fear a left miss. The Qi10 has a mild draw tendency, though no tester found it prone to going left. The SIM2 also has an adjustable hosel, while the Qi10 has fixed loft and lie. In the listed specs, both are 40.75 inches long.
Choose the SIM2 Rescue if…
you strike it consistently and want a lower, penetrating long-iron replacement that you can shape both ways, adjust at the hosel, and trust not to go left.
Choose the Qi10 Rescue if…
you're a mid to high handicapper who wants an easy-to-hit replacement for your 3 or 4 iron that keeps toe, heel and thin strikes straight.
