For me its my 58 degree wedge. I can hit 10 balls with that SOB and I will get 10 different distances from 2 feet to 100yards and every damned thing in between. I can have my divot fly farther than the ball as well as top the friggen thing and go 100 yards @ 10 feet off the ground.

Any iron 5 or lower. 6 is borderline. I'm good with 7-9, P, S, L, etc.

I only pull my 60 for hero/zero shots. Honestly since I started relying on my 55 wedge my game had improved a lot.
My most frustrating club is now the 3w..... |

3 wood.
Yesterday is a perfect example. 517 yard par 5, I've got like 270 at least to go after the tee shot, so 3 wood it is. I top that fucker 10 yards, yeah, "nice swing dickhead." Then I go up and stripe that bastard as far as my drive, dead straight...... WTF...... |

Fairway woods, regardless of the loft. I can hit a 2 iron much more consistent and reliably than any fairway wood, whether from a tee or off the fairway. In fact, I don't even carry a fairway wood for this very reason.

Rather than ordering fairway woods I ordered a 3 hybrid instead, and not the 58 is kicking my ass. |

It's the dreaded 3W for me. If I hit it right it's like a rifle shot, dead straight. The problem is that I seldom hit it right
 Maybe I should try a 3 hybrid. |

I can flush a few buckets at the range, but get me in front of a tee box full of guys and all the fundamentals and training goes out the window and monkey brain kicks in. Monkey brain makes the bad habits and swing out of shoes take over which equals no consistency. |

Right now it's my 56. Coming off winter league my distance control is not calibrated well. 50-70 yards has been an adventure (everything long). Some of that has found its way into my iron play as well.
Wednesday night league subbing for my dad. It hit a stock 9 iron 150 into a cold breeze. Tough to score when you're putting from 35'. |

Fairway Wood. Every. Fucking. Time
I've come to just leaving it in the bag. I'll probably take it out eventually. I've pretty much given up on it, maybe I'll come back around to it. I can't efficiently & effectively use it. I love my hybrid and that's usually what I'll grab in the fairway when I've got some ground to cover |

Mine has been my putter. I can hit my line but it comes up short, or I nail the speed put push it right. Couldn't get the two to line up till I played around with the super stroke grip with the weighted insert. Now I'm getting it online with much more consistent speed.

Set weight to fade with -1* and neutral on the adapter and swing my swing. |

And I'll only use the 5w twice on tee shots where drive brings OB into play 3 different ways.

Do you want occasionally pretty, or do you want to lower that handicap to 15?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Sean124: Do you want occasionally pretty, or do you want to lower that handicap to 15? I want to get on the green. Serious question, advance the ball or play conservative (no hazard and good lie situation) and split it up? Conservative play, a mid iron and wedge on, but, that's two chances for me to fuck it up. At the range, 6i, average carry 157, 35' right, 59% consistency. Gap wedge, carry 99, 28' right, 71%. I could almost as easily leave myself a shitty lie with a 6i or fuck up my wedge . Or.....Go with the wood. Carry 205, 32' right, 41% consistency (when....I hit it, it's straight). Maybe I top it 20 yards, or maybe I hit it pure and get close or even on. |

Maybe I top it 20 yards, or maybe I hit it pure and get close or even on. The proper play is usually to get as close to the green as possible without taking unnecessary risks with hazards. Laying up to your favorite yardage is another old myth proven wrong by modern statistics. I’m not saying hit an iron. I’m just saying find a “max fairway advancement” club that is easier to hit than a 3 wood. For most people it’s usually gonna be a 5/7 wood or some sort of hybrid. Besides being easier to hit decent, a lot of people actually hit 5 wood longer than 3 wood off the deck because it improves launch conditions |

My hybrid is my worst club right now. Got fit for it at TPI in Oceanside and was striping the ball better than I ever imagined. Perfect ball flight, straight, exactly what I wanted. Now, it's like I don't remember what end of the fucking thing to hold.
I am seriously leaning towards replacing it with a 2-iron or 3-iron. My long irons are usually pretty consistent. I just need to have a club with about 10-15 yards more in it. |
