Depends on a lot of things, but in most situations I would take my hybrid. I'm smacking my irons around pretty well right now, so I might go with a 3 or 4 iron as well, just depending on the shape of the shot, the lie, and the conditions.

I'd probably use my 4 hybrid and swing easy- I normally hit it 215-220

If I can roll up ... my 3-hybrid usually carries ~190 with roll to 200. Else, a 90% 5-wood will drop around 200.

3 iron.

I'd much rather overhit then underhit 90% of the time.

It all depends on the day, the lie, the confidence, etc.

Ive been using my new 21 degree hybrid from 200 yards the last couple weeks and i love the action i get from it. Lands nice and soft, but i can hit a low knockdown type shot and get it to roll 200+ if i need to. The irons i use are strong lofted so the problem i used to have was my 4i would come in too hot and skip over my target.

First of all, where are the 1 and 2 irons... (not that I would hit either but anyway)

Its a weighted question... this might help... in normal conditions these are my distances.
Driver 290
3-wood 265
5-wood 245
2-iron 240
3-iron 228
4-iron 215
5-iron 202
6-iron 190
7-iron 177
8-iron 163
9-iron 150
PW 137
52w 123
SW 110
LW 95

From Fairway:
In normal conditons five-iron... (flat no wind) If its hot even with no wind I may hit as little as 8-iron. Into stiff breeze I've hit 2-iron Slight breeze 4-iron... if its cold I may hit as much as 3-iron...

From Rough:
Crappy lie: Lay-up
Flyer lie: 7 or 8 iron
Decent Lie: 5-iron
Lie where Rough effects it: 4-iron

From Fairway Bunkers:
Choke down on 4 or 5-iron depending on the lie and the wind

Well, im not much of a distance player. I usually crack a 4 iron about 180 yds. So my hybrid will have to make up the gap.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
