What clubs do you use the most and the least?

Ollie56 · February 11, 2009

Hi guys and gals.

Just wondering,... what clubs in your bag do you use the most and what club do you use the least amount of times in a round?

I will say the club I use most is probably my 7 iron, without doubt the one I don't use much, IF AT ALL is my 9 iron. I have never really needed to use it.

I recently got a new set of Mizuno MX 200 irons - lovely, put the Pitching wedge spins too much when on a full shot - around 7 to 10 feet I would think, this means I will have to end up using the 9 iron instead! lol

Of course it depends on the course, weather, etc., but my most used club is my GW (50*), which I use for most shots 105 yards and in. My least used club would probably be my 3 wood. I almost never use it off turf, so it only typcially gets used once or twice a round off tee. I am long and straight enough with driver that I seldom need that much distance for a second shot so it just sits in bag lonely and under-used. I also do not use my LW (58*) all that much, but that really depends on weather and course conditions. Somedays I use it a lot and other days it doesn't come out of the bag at all.

Excluding driver and putter, gap wedge! My gap wedge is my 100 yard club, so anything 100 yards and in I use it, also most of my chipping is done with it.

Most: Putter, Sand Wedge, 5 Iron
Least: 2 Hybrid

Most- 5 iron, PW, putter(using it alot more than usual lately, the yips)
Least- 3 and 4 hybrids( I would rather choke down on my 5 wood or lay up with the 5 iron)

Hi guys and gals.

The obvious answer is the putter, since even on a good day, i use it 28 times. Probably more like 31 times a round on average.

But, like piKapp, i use the Gap wedge the most because i like it for chipping more than a PW. BTW: I just got the same irons in September. Bday present from my wife.

Most after the putter is my 52° wedge. That is my go-to club for most chips and pitches, as well as my 90 yard club. I only use the 58° when it's necessary, if there's room I use the 52.

Least used.... hard to say as several clubs are probably in that area of only being needed 2 or 3 times per round... just depends on what course I'm playing and how my tee shots are going..... 3W, 4W, 6I and 7I all fall into that category. Any of them could be used 6 or 7 times, or only once, just depending on the situation.

For "normal" length, real courses (~6300+) in descending order:

Most: Putter, Driver, SW, 6 iron
Least: 3W, unless it is a narrow course

Club I should use less than I do: LW

Putter > 53º > 58º > Driver > PW > 9i (chips)

Fabfivefigo · February 11, 2009

outside of putter and driver, I use my 5w and SW the most. 5W since it tends to be my best club and I'm not that long to begin with, and SW since I do all my around the green work with it.

I go entire rounds without using either my 8 or 9 irons.

**Pat007** · February 11, 2009

clubs I rarely use: 3-4-5 irons. I'm long enough off the tee to not really need these, except on long par 3s.

clubs I use most: putter, 60* wedge (use it everywhere!) and 56* SW

clubs I hate: 52* GW (sorry guys!)

**RocketSauce** · February 11, 2009

i recently noticed too that the iron i use the least is my 9 iron. and thats just because of the course i play i know....

**clubhousehero** · February 11, 2009

Most besides putter: pw. I use it alot when 100 yards and in. kinda wish i had a gap wedge for chipping though.

least: 3 and 5 wood. I have a hard time hitting them off the deck and i'm not that much more accuratre with them off the tee. But this year i want to practice with them more because i beleive they could both help my game alot more; especially on par 5's.

**kingofcars08** · February 11, 2009

Setting aside the obvious putter and driver. I play the tips and some pretty long courses, so I use my 3 iron and Hybrid quite a bit for long par -3's and par 5's, and I use my 58 sand wedge for every single shot inside 80 yards. Between that I use my 5-P equally throughout the round.

**madcityscott** · February 11, 2009

Most: 60* lob wedge (although my 54* seems to be overtaking it)

Least: 5 iron (I just can't hit the thing at all. I've got a 5 hybrid shipping right now to replace it)
