Ok, so right now I have Dr/3w/20* hybrid/23* hybrid/5-PW/SW/P. I need woods. The 3 wood is from my walmart kids set and I cant hit it off the deck. I love my Nickent hybrids, favorite club in the bag. The 3 iron goes 180 (with roll) with a good smack. My driver only goes 200 with a good smack. I found the Nickent 3DX utility woods, which are big hybrids/small woods. There is a 3 and a 4 wood in stock. I read Pelz's book and really believe in carrying 4 wedges, especially because my pitching wedge is very strong (44*) and my only wedge is 56* so right now I have 11 clubs not including my 3 wood which I dont use. I am thinking of getting only the 4 wood (17*) and then 50* , and 60* wedges for even yardages up close. THe 4 wood would be easier to get up off the deck than the 3 wood because of the higher loft and shorter shaft. Does this sound like a good plan? I really think getting a 3 and 5 wood would be expensive and the difference in yardage would be small. Also The 3 would be hard to hit. What do yall think?

As in a 17* hybrid? Like the 4 utility wood would be good?

A 17*-19* hybrid would be a good idea. IMO, it would be more useful than a 4-wood, give you the same distance and be easier to hit.
I find that a hybrid is a lot easier to hit than a fairway wood.

I agree - go the hybrid route rather than buying another fairway wood. I got a Cleveland XL 2H for $80 at Golf Galaxy.

The nickent is a utility club, like a hybrid but a little bigger. Just one though?

Id get something like 19* and 22* hybrids, thats what Ive got and they replace a 2-iron and 3-iron. If I need the distance of a 4-iron, I can always choke down on the 3H.

    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
