Room For One More Club

[FlopShotArtist]

I have room for one more club in my bag, and am taking suggestions. I currently have:

Driver
3 Wood
3H
4i
5i
6i
7i
8i
9i
PW
54* wedge
58* wedge
Putter

Thanks

One thing: I hit my fairway woods poorly.

[Akers]

If you hit hybrids well, maybe a 2 or (if you can find one) 1 Hybrid. They will be very close to your 3 wood distance.

[Mr Eagle]

I also cant hit fairway woods consistantly well, Ive dumped them for the 18 and 21 * Mizuno hifli which I get good results from.If your 3 hybrid is ok give the 18* (2 iron) a go.They are also great off the tee when the driver is missbehaving

[Cody]

Another putter!

Just kidding, i'd say replace that wood with another hyrbid and get another wedge

[trageserk]

If you want a wedge maybe a 64 deg? I really love mine and I'm pretty good around the green with it.

Otherwise I'd also suggest a 2 or 1 hybrid. They're great from off the deck and off the tee.

How's your wedge play? You have a 7-degree gap between your PW & 54 degree. For some folks, that difference is fine (Tiger has 6 degrees between his PW and SW), and if nothing's the matter with your wedge game, you don't need another.

That having been said, I'm going to give you a soft answer: "I don't know. And neither do you - yet." Here's how to find out: as you play your home course with 13 clubs, if you ever find yourself needing a club - saying something like "I wish I could hit my 4I from this lie. 3H is too much, and I don't think I can get a solid shot with my 4I from here," make a note of it. If you start to wish for the same club over and over, that's the one. By the way, you might notice I carry two 3 "hybrid"s. At the moment, that's because I'm still getting used to the FLI-HI and didn't have a 14th club to take at the time. I am making my own notes as to what I wish I had at various points, and I will probably purchase a new 14th club about the time I replace my woods (estimated at a month or so from now).

My previous wedge game (52, 56, 60) was excellent, but I wanted to get 54, 58, and haven't played a round with them yet.

So far, I'm thinking along the lines of a 50* wedge, a 64* wedge, or a 2H.

[bogeyhitter25]

I'd get the 50* wedge. But it's completely up to you.

[kafka01]

A fairway wood needs a lot of practice - and so does any wedge >= 60°. Since you already have an 58 and if you feel save with it when opening the face there is no real need for a higher lofted wedge imo.

I didnt used a 50°(gap) wedge for a long time - now it has become one of my most used clubs.

[GaijinGolfer]

Id add a 50*-52* wedge if it were me. I would worry about a higher lofted wedge if it were me, Ive got a 68* and its pretty worthless.

[joshtpa]

Flop,
I would go with either a 2 Hybrid or the 64 degree wedge that you and I both like.

[FlopShotArtist]

Thanks all who gave some advice. It was between a 1 or 2 hybrid, a 50* wedge, or a 64* wedge.

I didn't want to spend ANOTHER $100, and I found an excellent deal on a 64* Cleveland 588 wedge for $40 shipped and took it.

[ks8829]

I would carry a 60 degree wedge with low bounce.

If you are not hitting your 3 wood is it a 13 or 15 degree? How do you hit your 4 and 5 irons?

[iwannabesedated]

What about a putter/chipper combo like the Odyssey Marxman? These can be pretty useful depending on the greens where you play the most.
