Tour Edge Exotics mini driver review + TaylorMade Spider ZT Max first look – Club Junkie
For the fourth episode in Modern Classics, in partnership with 2nd Swing, GolfWRX’s Brian Knudson dives into the TaylorMade Rescue Dual hybrid. This hybrid was an update with dual weights for dialing in flight and trajectory. A new sole design was incorporated for better turf interaction and stability when setting the club on the turf. These are a steal at the price 2nd Swing sells them for!
TaylorMade Rescue Dual hybrids can be purchased from 2nd Swing HERE.
Russell made a massive charge on the last 3 holes of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend to force a playoff with Eric Cole. Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear. He mixes brand new with some very old clubs in order to play his best.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.
Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.
You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.

The TP version is excellent, particularly with the Diamana shaft. You can get a more neutral flight. Your point about the sole is also good as it works well off the ground, rough and sand. Still use 19* and 22* in the bag, with the 22* used several times per round. I would have liked to try the 16* or even 14* when I was younger in place of a 3W because I think I would have hit them better. Too bad TM never made a 25* as I would probably have that too as I age.
