Was replying to an earlier post about clubs and it got me thinking as to which club in my bag do I have a LOT of confidence in and generally consider it the best in the bag.

I'm interested to know what club/clubs you guys consider the one thing in the bag that "you can't take away from me unless you pry it from my cold dead hands" .

I've got to say that my 5-wood is one club that I could not do without. I hit it well. On tight, short par 4's or par 4 extreme doglegs, I'll usually pull out the 5-wood and blast it 235 down the pipe. On par 5's, it's the club I can use to get on or around the green in two if it's a longer hole.

mine would be either my SeeMore FGP putter (Ive sunk more 15-25 footers in the 5 months that Ive had this than i have in my entire life), or my Nickent 5DX hybrid. that thing is almost like cheating its so straight and forgiving. if i had to choose between the 2, i think the SeeMore FGP would win

by the way, those Callaway Steelhead III's that you have (the OP) are sweet fairway woods. one of the best fairway woods ever made IMO

Overall it is my 58* Callaway X-Forged wedge. Every time I pull it out I konw I am going to hit a good shot.

Irons would be my 7 iron. I have always hit it well so I have a lot of confidence in it.

Long clubs would be my 5 wood. It is another club I have always been able to hit well with.

My Sakamoto 54* wedge. I use it for just about any shot within 90 yards or so.

As far as most useful as a weapon, the putter and driver are my favorites.

However, for the few times a round when I need it, my rescue wood is amazing. Like Lee Trevino recommended, I rely on a 7 wood -- it is a Callaway Steelhead with a steel Memphis 10 shaft -- an old club replaced this year with a brand new one I found online. Part of the club's magic is its steel shaft -- it is short, firm, but very predictable. For forced carries on par fives and those over 200 yard par 3s, it is a great choice. From the rough, it is far easier (for me) to hit than a hybrid, and I can get a lot more distance -- a very versatile club that is easy to work right or left, highly recommended. Hitting into a green, the ball stops like a high iron might stop. I will use it to carry 190 to 225 yards with a lot of confidence.

    • Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

    • I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
