Hey Everyone. Questions about the top end of my bag.

I currently have a ping g410 Driver, cleveland launcher 5w (2009) and ping g30 irons 5 to pw. Vokey 52 58 and a scotty cam.

I wanna upgrade the top end of the bag.......I love my driver, irons...........gonna go with a 50 54 vokey setup next year. 

I dont play a 3 or 4 iron as most shots i'm gonna hit to go for 2 on a par 5 are a layup or I play the 5 wood. 

I was thinking of a 2h 4h combo as I can play them for the fairway easier. Or even a 4w, 3h combo. Open to any suggestions but now the g425's and the sim2 max are catching my eye. I play mainly wetish courses on the east coast of canada. 

Thanks

Look at the loft on your hybrids/woods/long irons.  I currently have a 2h (17*) and 4h (22*).  When hit cleanly the 2h is longer but the 4h is hit cleanly most times, unlike the 2h.  I have found that loft is your friend.

Also, find the clubs you want and hit them out on the course.  You may well find them suitable/unsuitable depending on actual conditions and your swing.

Finally, unless you hit long clubs well, you will find many of them going similar distances, as I have discovered with my 2h and 4h, a large percentage of the time

Thanks for the info..........for that reason I was thinking the 3H in the sim 2 max. The g425 5 iron is 24degrees and the 3h is 19. 

I never liked hitting a 3w off the deck.

    • Day 1: 2026.01.03 Played 18 at Cape Kidnappers. Getting back into it after a few days off. Mixed results.
    • Day 40: short range session. Worked on my drill mostly. Finished with some full swings and driver swings. Range was packed because it was so nice out. Solid session though. 
    • Day 5, 1/3/26.  Today was a weird day schedule-wise, but I did find 15 minutes to hit 6-iron shots (indoors, off a mat, into a net).  I also got to thinking about yesterday's round and, other than a few thin shots (that I think were weather/grip related), I didn't have any wild non-driver shots, which was weird for me.  I need to get back to video, which is tough in my setup. Also, this wouldn't count on its own, but anyone reading this and thinking about doing their own 5 minutes daily, check out Fit for Golf's latest podcast episode.  It's only a few minutes and Mike does a great job talking about the importance of doing a bit each day.  That also reminded me, I let my FFG subscription lapse, I'm going to renew it.
    • Day 32 (3 Jan 26) - Misty, rainy day - opted to rehearse swing in the mirror - focused on face position at P6 thru P9.   
    • Day 460 - 2026-01-03 Set up GEARS Hybrid for a lesson, so used it in the morning for checking a few things from yesterday.
