The TaylorMade SLDR-S Rescue uses a 58°–59° lie-angle reference across its Rescue / hybrid lineup. A useful mid-line reference is 3H at 58.5°. The adjustable hosel can alter the lie relationship, so test the exact indexed setting.

SLDR-S Rescue lie-angle fingerprint
What stands out about the SLDR-S Rescue lie setup?
The listed lie values span 1° across the model.
Every meaningful lie step is 0.5°, giving the progression a very regular shape.
Use centred strike and start direction together rather than judging lie from static setup alone.
Use only the TaylorMade loft-sleeve positions documented for this generation; do not copy a chart from another adapter.

| 4H | 59° | +0.5° | More upright |

Dynamic hosel test for the TaylorMade SLDR-S Rescue
Start from the stock / neutral sleeve position and record strike, launch and start direction.
Move one supported setting at a time so loft, face angle and lie changes are easy to compare.
Keep the setting only if centre contact and start direction improve together.
Should the TaylorMade SLDR-S Rescue be more upright or flatter?
A more upright fit may help if…
- Good strikes repeatedly start right of target.
- The toe is visibly down through impact.
- You need to raise your hands to make the sole sit naturally.
- Use the supported hosel settings to compare a more upright relationship against neutral.
A flatter fit may help if…
- Good strikes repeatedly start left.
- The heel sits or arrives noticeably lower than the toe.
- You naturally deliver the Rescue with lower hands.
- Test the flatter-supported setting and keep it only if direction and centre strike both improve.
Lie is probably not the main issue if…
- Your miss changes between left and right from swing to swing.
- Face-to-path or strike location clearly explains the ball flight.
- You are mainly trying to change launch height or spin.
- Your setup changes substantially between shots.
Golf-club specifications can differ by model year, loft, region, custom build and adjustable-hosel setting. Before buying, fitting or changing a club, compare these figures with TaylorMade’s official specifications for your exact model. If a measurement is critical, have the club checked by a qualified fitter. Verify with TaylorMade.
