19 and 22 Degree Hybrid

[Davie81]

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?

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?

[Davie81]

The 5 wood is something I’m thinking about actually

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.... 🤷‍♂️
