I’m currently playing off 6 and my bag goes from driver, 3w, 19 degree and 22 degree hybrids then 5i down. 
 

Is there any point in having the 19 degree in the bag? I’ve always found it a love or hate club and not sure whether to keep it in there.

That's a tough question to answer without additional information. 
For example how far do you hit the 3 wood? the 19 Hybrid? the 22 Hybrid? 

Do you have another club you'd like to replace it with? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I’m hitting my 3w about 240 and the 22 degree around 215-220. The 19 is so hit and miss that sometimes I’ll hit it 225 and then other times 200.

It sounds like you answered your own question. 

The19 degree is only 5 yards longer but the average is probably lower considering the greater range of outcomes.

How often do you hit it?

Would you benefit from having a different club? Like an extra Wedge or maybe a 5 wood?

My 19 degree hybrid is interchangeable with my 5 wood, then I go to a 4 iron.  But as previously mentioned, you answered your own question…your not great with the 19 and don’t gain much when you do manage to hit it good.  For consistency… leave it out.

Having 20-25 yards between 3W and 22 degree hybrid is a good gap over 200 yards. You can get rid of the 19° hybrid and maybe add another wedge. 

If you want to keep the club maybe you can change the loft's like I do for a better gapping. 

3W (15° down to 14°): 250
2H (19° down to 18°) : 230
3H (21° up to 23°) : 210
4 Iron (23°): 190
6 Iron (29°): 175

I'm with @Typhoon92 on this one. I wise person once said to me if you don't have confidence in a club, why are you carrying it? 

Think of it this way. There's a school of thought that says you should only hit shots you feel you have an 80% chance of pulling off. We can debate if it should be 80% or 75 or what ever. However, if your 19 degree doesn't produce results 80% of the time.... 🤷‍♂️

    • Day 140 - 2025-02-17 Got to GE pretty early. Few lessons and then a GEARS visit with a guy. Pelvis work, go figure. Put down two mats later with a carpet stay thing, and hit some balls before heading home.
    • If you own a Stack radar…
    • If you own a Stack radar (for now, it's limited to Stack radar only), and want to work on your wedge game… it turns out that wedge distances are 99% correlated to ball speed. So, with a small radar, you can practice your wedge game easily in a gamified way.
    • Day 11: 2/16/2025 Rince and Repeat: Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.   
    • Quick update. So, I got the PXG Secret Weapon and I have to say I like it... mostly. (see below) I spent some time with it on the range and I even gathered some data in doors. I'm not going to post data yet, as my swing is still a bit of a work in progress and I'd like to gather some more data after I settle down a little bit more. But here's my review.  First as a driver replacement. ... IMO it is not a replacement, it's clearly more of a supplement... for me anyway. Not long enough to really replace the driver. For me it's about 20 yards short of my driver. It is longer than my 30-wood off the tee. (15 yards-ish) I will say it is easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. I get some of my best shots teeing it low, but I also get some of my worst. If I tee it about a full inch off the ground I get very consistent shots. Super repeatable. Amazingly repeatable even with my messy swing. Off the tee, I find it draw biased just a bit. You can tinker with the set up if that isn't your personal cup of tea.  As a 3-wood replacement. For me it's about perfect. It's longer than my 3-wood off the deck (my data showed 10 yards longer) and it has a gentle fade to it, which I love. You do need a clean lie, but I never hit my 3-wood off anything but a clean lie anyway. I found it interesting that I hit a gentle fade off the deck and a slight draw off a tee. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Again, you can tinker with the set up to optimize that if you wanted to... I don't want to.  It's clearly a lot longer than my 3-wood off the tee. Easier to hit off the tee than my 3 wood, and off the deck it's also longer. So, it's a no-brainer 3-wood replacement for me. I will say that over the years I've learned to use my 3-wood for this low-flying-100-yard-punch-out-from-under-a-tree shot.  I'll have to see if the Secret Weapon can handle that duty. But it's going in the bag to replace the 3-wood.  I also turned my 5-wood down from 19 degrees to 17 degrees. ... Incidentally my 3-wood had been 16 degrees. I used to always hit my 5 wood and my hybrid about the same distance. This adjustment helps my gapping a bit at the top of the bag. I can clearly hit my 5-wood farther than my hybrid now.  Overall on the PXG Secret Weapon. The good: It's clearly longer and easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. It's a bit longer off the deck than my 3-wood.  It's super forgiving... surprisingly so.  It's uber adjustable. ... Although I do suggest getting fit for it. That will save you having to (or wanting to) buy a weight kit just to try out the infinite number of set ups. The headcover is super cool.  The maybe not so good: Shots out of the middle sound great. Shots off the heal sound great. Shots off the toe sound ... what's the work... clangy? It's very forgiving off the toe and the heal. The flight and the distance are incredibly consistent. But the sound off the toe isn't great.  For me I tend to draw it off the tee and fade it off the deck. You can set it up to be biased either way, but in my hands I think if I set up a draw off the deck, that might induce a duck hook off the tee. ... In fairness that could also be where my swing is at right now.  It's pretty spendy. ... If I really stop and think about it, I paid $450 for a new 3-wood. Granted it's a better performing 3-wood. But for me it's really a 3-wood replacement.
