What club did you give up in order to add a 4th wedge?

[Dub]

Just curious to see how people filled their bag in order to gain another wedge.

[Chief Broom]

5 wood

Consistancy isn't my strong suit and in the end I was hitting my 5w about as well as my 3w. Clean contact with my 5w off the deck would go about 225yds. I get 230-240yds (240 on a great hit, usually more like 230) with the 3w. I also didn't see any need for using the 5w off the tee. Again the 3w is the club I'd reach for if I needed distance off the tee when the driver would be too much. I use my 3h (215yds) to fill the gap between the 3w and the 4i (200yds). I do use all four of my wedges. I know my distances on all of them for full swings, and I usually stick with my PW for chipping and my LW for pitching.

I gave up my putter.


Nah, not really, I just gave up my 3 iron.

Driver, 1i Hybrid-15 degree or weak 15 degree 3-wood, 3 iron, 5,6,7,8,9,P, 50, 54, 58, 62 wedges would be my ideal set. I dont have it yet, but I would play that combo forever. The 58 and 62 I would snag in a dynamic sole grind too

I ditched the 5 wood and 3 iron in favor of a 19º hybrid, so I can carry 50º GW, 54º SW and 58º LW.
Now I´m replacing the 3 wood for a new 4 wood, easier to hit, as I use mainly driver always from the tee....

2 or 3 iron. I only have two woods so I have either the 2 or 3 in the bag (depending on the course) and leave the other in the car. I could also do without the 9-iron if I felt I would need the long irons.

[Eeryck]

For most I think it tends to be 5-wood, 3-iron or 4-iron.

I took out the 4-iron because I was good with my distance gap between 3-iron and 5-iron and I like the utility of my 5-wood, especially if I miss the fairway.

Additionally, the lofts on my iron set is 3I-4I 3-degrees, and 4I to 5I 3-degrees so now I have 3I-5I 6-degrees then 4-degrees throughout the rest of the iron set. Don't misunderstand this that I made the decision based on club loft though, it just happened that the distances and the club loft had correlation for my swing.

I constantly switch between a 3-iron and a 51º GW depending on the course or how my swing is...

I don't know which club I took out of my bag for 4th wedge, but if I pulled one now I'd probably add the 5 iron back into bag. I've carried 4 wedges for so long now I'm really not sure what I originally took out.

I'm considering new irons with weaker lofts (Mizuno MP-52). The PW is 47*, so I would probably go 47*, 52/53* and 58* and then add 5 iron back into the bag.

[joshiemac25]

I gave up my 5 wood/3 Iron. I have a 4 Hybrid in there that kind of acts as my 5 wood. But having 4 wedges is the only way to go for my game, especially on the courses that I play.

[misty_mountainhop]

I didn't! The PW (48°), 52°, 56° is good for me and I like having my 2-iron for narrow tee shots.

[Stacey_E]

I carry 5 wedges. To make room I replaced the 15* & 19* woods with a 17* wood. My 23* 4 hybrid is almost as long as a 7 wood so it replaces my 4 and 3 iron. The way I play the top of the set, 6* between the two clubs is not too much for me.

[GaijinGolfer]

I gave up my PW. I replaced my 45* PW with a 47* wedge.

5 wedges.....cool.

It is intresting to me that many guys are gaming 4 and even 5 wedges now.....but ten years ago it was PW & SW mostly. I suspect many are honing in their short games and being able to take full swings from varying distances less than 100 yds. Cool trend.

[AbsoluteZero]

I didn't give up anything. I've never had a hybrid, 5 wood, 7 wood, or anything else that would have taken that 14th spot. I've been playing four wedges since the day I added the 14th club.

[windmarkbob]

3i and 5w replaced with a 3h and lw.

[madcityscott]

5 wood, which sucks because I love it. But I had too much gap between my 55 degree sand wedge and my 46 degree pitching, so I added a 50* Vokey gap.
