I ended up with a 20 and a 23 degree i20 rescue clubs more by chance than design. I had originally ordered a Mizuno utility club to replace my 3 iron but Mizuno were unable to complete the order (they ran out of heads!!). I tried nearly every utility club my local range had in stock but could not find one which gave me the feel of the Mizuno or the ease of hitting I was looking for.

The Pro then brought out an i20 which I loved the look of immediately: it looks purposeful, finished in matt black and to me it looked much easier to hit than the small fairway wood look offered by some utility clubs manufacturers.

Having previously tried an i20 driver though I was concerned that I wouldn't find them forgiving enough. How wrong was I? First shot and with a nice ping sound off the face the ball soared high and straight.

These clubs are so versatile that my 3 and 4 irons and 3 and 5 woods are largely redundant. I find that I can hit the 23 degree between 170 yds and 190 yds depending on how hard I hit it or if I am off the tee and the 20 degree takes me from about 190 to 220 yds.

These clubs are very versatile and have shaved a couple of shots off most rounds. They will be in my bag for a long time.
