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.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
