I have too many clubs, and need help to decide which are the least needed clubs in my bag.

I'm about a bogey golfer...mainly because my short game really, really sucks...I'll lose almost 10 strokes a round from skulling my greenside chips. My full swing iron play is pretty solid though.

My bag:

Titleist 905R
Titleist 980F 15 degree
Titleist 980F 19 degree
Taylor Made Rescue 19 degree
Titleist 695CB 3-PW irons
Vokey 50, 54, 58 degree
PUtter

So...2 clubs gotta go...or at least stay out of the bag per round.

I'm thinking 3 iron and 50 degree wedge.

What do you guys think?

Driver: Titleist 905R with Aldila NV stiff
3 Wood: Titleist 909f2 w/ Aldila Voodoo stiff
Hybrid: Taylor Made Rescue Club 19*
4-PW: Titleist 695cb
GW (50 degree): Titleist Oil Can Vokey 250SW (54 degree): Titleist Vokey Oil Can Spin MilledLW (58 degree): Titleist Vokey Spin MilledPutter: Scotty...

I was actually thinking the exact same, a 3 iron is hard to hit and usually you wont need it. Im pretty sure a PW is 47* so its almost close to a 50* if you happen to get any case where you need the 50 just use a PW.

I would suggest dropping the 19* fairway wood and the three iron. With the 19* hybrid in there, you basically get the best of both worlds (FW/Iron) and most people aren't looking to hit a 5W (19*) or a 3 Iron to an exact yardage, they are just looking to hit out there. Keep the wedge if your short game isn't great, it's useful to have an extra club in that area.

905R UST V2 Stiff
906F2 UST V2 Stiff
3DX dc 17* Stiff

Agreed completely, those would be the 2 for me too...

Sometimes short game shots get overly complex with too many club options. For me, it's like staring in the fridge waiting for something to pop out at me when I'm hungry. Taking that wedge out may help just along those lines.

That being said I'd still drag the 3 iron along in the trunk for those windy days, I just mine regripped so I can do the same.

Nice day= 3 iron hybrid
Windy day = standard 3 iron
In My Bag:

Taylormade: Superquad 9.5 Aldila VS Proto 'By You' 70-S
Sonartec: SS-07 14.0 Aldila NV 85-S
Cleveland: Halo, 3i UST Irod 83-SPing: i-10 4-UW AWT-STitleist: Vokey Design Spin Milled 54.10 & 60.08Slighter: Handstamped Tacoma, 350G in Black Satin w/Sound Slot

Actually, the PW is 46*...that's why I got the 4* increments in my wedges...probably doesn't make much difference though.

All, Thanks for the suggestions! I think my "standard" will be to leave my 3 iron and 50* in my trunk. On days when I feel I'm striking the clubs really well...maybe I'll swtich the 3* iron and Rescue club, and on the days when I'm striking poorly, I'll leave the 3 wood and the 3 iron at home...or better yet, I'll stay at home! Thanks again!

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
