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.... 🤷‍♂️

    • The putting green itself is fine. It's the same green we have here. They just need to learn how to chip "into" the grain instead of just down-grain all the time. You have to hit it solid. The launch monitors and the simulator software are garbage right now. Nobody wants to say anything bad about the LMs because Tiger is a partial owner or something. The software has 3Ws stopping in ten feet on the green, and balls bouncing all of 11 yards after flying 311 in the fairways.
    • Explain this:   Send 3 and 4 pence we're going to a dance.
    • Although fun to watch on a winter night, I don't think the simulation is anywhere near accurate. Watched Kevin Kisner hit a shot onto a green slope that would not roll back. When they got to that spot, they couldn't place a ball there without it rolling down the hill. Had to move to another location. The greens remind me of the pooltable-like surface of a Mini Golf course. Balls just take off and roll away. Chipping from off the green seems tricky on the surface they use. And what's with Tiger spitting during the round? It's an indoor carpet. Don't know why atheletes need to spit outdoors, let alone on an indoor carpet surface. 
    • Maybe this is what you were getting at?  Doing some math. Comparing JumboMax versus Tour Velvet, standard size in both.  I got the force required using the JumboMax grip, to achieve the same rotational acceleration as the Tour Velvet, is about 1.37 more for the JumboMax grip. Interestingly, the Jumbomax grip is about 17% larger than the Tour Velvet, and 17% lighter for the standard size. I just substituted out the radius and mass of the JumboMax as a ratio of the Tour Velvet's mass and radius. This allows me to cancel out the mass and radius and get a ratio for the force. If you need 100 (force units of your choice) to achieve a certain rotational acceleration, you will need 137 (force units of your choice).  There was another thread on the forum about offset, where it basically just delays closure by some stupidly small amount. A lot of fun math there.  Most golfers have to go from about 90 degrees open clubface at A4 to square at A7. So, having a grip that requires more force to close that clubface might not be the best idea pending the golf swing.  A question is, since the clubface is open at A4, and square at A7. Does that mean you want most of the closure to happen from A4 to let say A6, and not A6 to A7, for better consistently (less timing at impact). Just a thought.     
    • This reminds me of the old game Telephone, where someone tells a story to someone, that person tells it to the next person, and after a few re-tellings you see how badly mangled the story gets.  Most golfers learn the rules in a similar fashion, learning from someone who really doesn't know the rules themselves.  This isn't really helped by the fact that many golf professionals aren't all that knowledgeable about the rules.  In addition, most golfers have been told that the Rules are SO complicated and SO difficult to read that they never try to read for themselves. Now, having vented a bit, is there anything in particular you'd like to read?
