Hey all, first topic here....
I have a little problem at the moment, I used to play 4 wedges (P, 52, 56, 60) But i was finding a quite a desent gap of distance between my 3 wood and 3 Iron. So i went in and got fitted for a 5 wood. (Im not a big fan of Hybrids) I LOVE the 5 wood, probs my 2nd fav club in the bag.

But now since i took my 52 wedge out of the bag, im having some probs with club selection around the greens, i used to love the 52 wedge, it was always a nice little club to use around green side, not to high, not to much spin just perfect for almost any situation. I have been using my 56 and putting it back in my stance to try and get the same highet as my 52 was comming out, but when i do so the spin is just crazy.

So there is now 3 options here, replace my wedges and get a 53 and 58, Get mine bent, or take out the 3 Iron and put back in the 52. But the problem with taking out the 3 iron, is that i love the nockdown low shot i can hit into the greens on windy days, on the longer holes. And since im a fairly long hitter, i use my 3 Iron alot of the tee.

Any ideas, or advice?

When I had this problem (just with a 2 Hybrid rather than a 5 Wood) I ditched the 56 and got a 54 to fill the gaps. My PW is 47 so from 47 to 54 is 7* and from 54 to 60 is 6*, which are pretty consistent gaps. It doesn't hurt that I got pretty good at hitting soft pitching wedges. I decided to keep the 60 rather than a 58 because I use the 60 for all of my chips and pitches (even out of the sand) and I didn't want to give up my best shot, the high lofted flop shot.

Hope that helps!

In my bag:

How much do you use your 60*? I would personally drop that.

60* is very useful for when you need to get the ball to stop fast.

You'd use a 60* more than a 3 wood.

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
