Right now my loft gaps and clubs are arrainged as a 10.5 driver 15 3wood 18 2hybrid and a 21 4iron and a 24 5iron. just wondering if anyone has skipped the common 18 degree club whether its a 5wood or hybrid and jumped from the 3wood to a 21 or 22 degree club. I am looking delete a long club from my bag to add a wdge but do not want to leave any giant gaps in lofts i am thinking of getting an 18 or 19 hybrid and a 23 hybrid and removing my 4 and 5 irons

thanks

I try to cover the loft gaps, but make decisions based on distance and shot gaps.

If you can hit your 3 iron good then replace the wood/hybrid with another wedge. you will have more options when your closer to the green. i just made this switch from my 5 wood to another wedge since i can hit my 3 iron well and it has helped lower scores.

I can't say my scores went lower, but I felt more prepared to attack a course when I went from 4 wedges to 3 wedges with wider loft gaps, added a 3-wood, and dropped my 2-iron in favour of a 19* hybrid. Different strokes for different folks.

You can definitely do that if you're willing to carry a 4ish-wood. Mine goes 11* driver, 16* fairway, 21* hybrid, 24* 4-iron. Most people will hit a hybrid further than the equivalent iron, so you probably want the loft gap to tighten a bit where you transition into those.

    • 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.
