Im pretty excited right now. I just got my first "real" set of irons. I got the older TaylorMade Burner Bubble irons from a local golfer near me for a great price. They were used, but I can hardly tell. I got irons 3-9, pw,sw, and lw. I also have a set of drivers and woods.
Anyways my question is: awhile ago I got golf clubs "blindly". I didnt really know what I was doing. But I have two clubs that Im debating if I need to bring golfing with me. One of them says its a 9, it is shaped like a wood, and on the front of the head it has a wedge type shape to it. I dont really know how to explain it. But is there a "9 wood"?

And the other club says its a 7, 22 degree trouble wood.

What are these clubs used for? And with the new set do I need them?

The 7 wood replaces the 3 iron, the 9 wood replaces the 4 iron. Until you can hit you 7 iron 140-150ish don't even consider using a 4 or 3 iron. Just my opinion, but you will probably loose distance as you go to the longer irons, as your launch conditions will just be too low to take advantage of those long irons.

Yes there is a 9 wood, and if this club is 1/2" or an 1" or so shorter than your 7 wood than that is what you have. Pull the 3 and 4 iron out of your bag and you have all you need. Except a few pars under your belt.

Yep, the 9 wood is shorter than the 7. Why should I take out the 3 an 4? Are you saying to take those out, and put in the 7, and 9 wood to replace them? Is it because they are easier to hit? Sorry for all the questions, Im such a beginner.
