Didn't see a similar thread, but what is your favorite club to use and why? I like my 4 iron. I dunno just something about that distance and that club makes it fun to use, especially in the rough. I like to punch out with it too.

stand bag:

Driver: DDH 10*
Woods: DDH 3W-15*, 5W-21*
Irons: DDH 3-SWWedge: VR LW 60*Putter: VSL


I like my wedges. I hit all my clubs good, but the wedges are definately my favorite. 56* to be exacto. The consistency and accuracy i have with um drives me nuts.
Bag- Orig. 14 Stadium Tour
Driver- R7 limited 9.5*
3 Wood- R7
5 Wood-Viper Tour
Irons- X18/X22 ToursWedges- 52*/ 56* SandPutter- Hamilton f2 series BladeBall- Pro V1Glove-

All of them, dude, but the two extremes are my favorites. Launching a big drive down the middle or rolling in a tricky putt.

I've worked on my swing a lot this summer and because of it i've really improved my driving distance/accuracy. Sure theres a great thrill in hitting it stiff to a green but smashing drives long and straight down the middle of the fairway consistently is a great feeling too :)

call me Roy McAvoy because it's my 7 iron. 155-160, probably a 90% chance that I will hit it within a 10% (15 yards) of my target, it doesn't hook or slice, I feel comfortable at address with it.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water


I like my 5 hybrid, I use it a lot on approach shots and off the tee on a lot of par 3's, feel more confident hitting a green with it from 170-175 yds than with a 9 iron from 50 yards closer

my 5-iron! i use it a lot and hit it really well and even if i cant reach a green im not smart enough to play for position so i just knock that down the fairway!

My 3 iron hybrid. It just feels right. I'm not a good golfer by any means, but that club I can hit from any lie. It is also the only club that I can shape shots with, from high draws to line-drive runners. I like my driver and my 60* a whole lot, but my h3 is my favorite club to pull, becase I get to act like a real golfer when I have that out.

I would say in general my 5-wood. However, lately I like the Callaway Big Bertha Diablo driver.

I love my 8 iron. When I was first starting out, my teacher put a training grip on my 8 iron to try to teach me the proper grip. As a result I just got into the habit of practicing with the 8 iron first and most often.

Since the training grip has come off, the 8 is still my go-to club. If I need to hit a layup shot 90% of the time I grab for the 8. As a result, my favorite yardage from the pin is 130. From that yardage I get to grab my trusty 8 iron, which I will put pin high almost without fail. (although I seem to love missing the green to the right if there is a bunker that way).

I'm beginning to like my driver. Before I used to be longer, but all over the place. Now I'm starting to hit more fairways, and since the courses I play usually aren't that long, I still have short or mid irons into the green.

Another one of my favorite clubs is my 3H. I like it because of it's versatility. I can tee off, hit it from the fairway, and chip with it.

    • Since 99% of my tv watching is YouTube videos so is my golf watching. Seems to be mostly British stuff. 
    • When I got to Florida this season (seasons instead of years since the years overlap) one of the guys asked what I had done, said I was about twenty yards longer with my driver. Said that I had a different driver which was true but looking back it’s really the shaft that’s been the difference. It’s similar in principle to the Autoflex in that it’s light weight and also light flex. Since most of my clubs are bought used I have difficulty finding senior shafts most of the time and being old and slow that’s what I need. Bought the Callaway driver, for several years I preferred Ping drivers, because they only had a couple of used drivers with senior shafts in my price range and it’s been probably the best I’ve had. Longer and very forgiving, decent distance even on my mishits and almost always in play. Keep in mind that my swing speed is probably under 70mph. 
    • Day 17 - First round of the year. It took me about 6 holes to remember how to hit off grass. Short game was lacking, but the round could’ve been much worse. It’s nice that my new “bad” is my old “good.”
    • Yes this was what I was thinking you have two golfers same 5 HC same swing speed 110Mph ...one you changed the driver head to a 10yr old model head but the same loft etc the other you changed shaft ...now if its just 10yr old shaft of the same flex weight etc it would be more so the newer head IMHO ..but if the shaft was changed to softer flex lighter than player was use to then the shaft would be the winner IMHO
