Titleist 585H vs. Taylormade Rescue TP (2007)?

Has anyone tried the Titleist 585H and Taylormade Rescue TP (2007)? I am trying to decide on which one to get. I am looking for a 17º, 18º, or 19º hybrid to cover the gap between my 3+ wood and 22º hybrid. My choices are between the 585H (with a Aldila NV, Aldila Proto VS, or UST Proforce V2 shaft) or the 2007 Rescue TP (with Aldila Proto VS shaft).

I know both look good at address, so that's not an issue. I want to know about the ball flight characteristics. Do they fly high, or low? Penetrating, or floating/ballooning?

I think the 585H has a deeper face than the Rescue TP...any thoughts on that?

A comparison between the two clubs would be great. Please share the specs of the clubs you tried and/or own. Thanks for you time!

    The ball flight will be determined by both shaft and technique this is even more profound when the clubheads have the same degree of loft.

    You need to test for yourself the Titleist with the three shaft options against themselves and each against the Taylormade with only the one shaft option. There is no other way of knowing!

    Really? I don't know anything about the Penta ball. All I know is you will have to have a high swing speed to activate all 5 of those layers to get the correct response from the ball. If the TP Red spun too much for you and the Pro V1 spins faster than the TP Red, the Penta will not be the right ball for you either. You can buy a sleeve at your pro shop and see how they work for you though. The way to decide the type of ball you need is to take this test: Do you hit lots of hooks and/or slices? If yes give yourself (-1). If no give yourself(+1) Do you often need to get up and down? If yes give yourself(+1). If no give yourself(-1) Do you prefer iron shots that hit and roll? If yes give yourself(-1). If no give yourself(+1) Are you able to work the ball? If yes give yourself(+1) If no give yourself(-1) Balls are listed in 3 categories, high, medium, and low spin. If your total score is +2 to +4 then you should consider a high spin ball like Bridgestone e5+, Nike One Tour?Tour D, Pro V1/V1x, and the Bridgestone B-330/330s. If your total score is +1 to -1 then you should consider a medium spin ball like the Srixon Trispeed, Bridgestone e6+, Nike PD Soft, and the Callaway Big Bertha. If your total score is -2 to -4 then you should consider a low spin ball Nike Crush and any of the Pinnacle golf balls.

    The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.

    You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net/

    You are going to have to hit them both, and see which one you like better. I have all Titleist clubs except for my three wood. It is a Taylor made rescue. I think Taylormade woods have a better feel than Titleist. I tried the Titleist, but I thought they had a thin feel, even when you hit them solid, but they did have a more penetrating ball flight. I went with the Taylormade because it had a higher ball flight, and felt much more solid.
