Most difficult club to hit

[MiniMoe]

What do you think is the most difficult club to hit?

I think the wedges are the most difficult because we use them from so many different distances and difficult situations. On the flip side, the driver is the easiest to hit because we always have a perfect lie and we normally are only hitting full shots.

I am the most inconsistent with my driver and lack confidence in it. I am very confident in my wedges from any distance. When I step up with a driver, I am thinking "I hope this works" and take a swing. With my wedges I can see the shot I am going to hit and I usually hit very close to that shot.

Woods and putters are not on the list. I struggle with a 3-wood, not a lot, but it happens. I think putting should be on there because I have seen some terrible putting strokes out there--it's where the game is made.

I say driver because if the inconsistancy. I can hit it 290 one time the n 190 the next.

My irons are the hardest for me
I can't hit them atm.

My driver is pretty good though.
Long and straight.

My most difficult club to it is my driver. I can't hit it straight for my life. I can do everything but get good position off the tee. I used to just hit my hybrid off the tee and keep it in the fairway but I'm going to need to figure out how to hit my driver sooner or later so I've made myself use it.

[Where's the Cart Girl?]

I voted hybrid/long irons (long irons for me.)

I said that because the question was "most difficult" to hit. True, I'm less consistent with my driver, but I think that the margin for error on a full swing long iron is much smaller and thus the shot is inherently more difficult. I may be able to do it better but that doesn't make it actually easier.

I voted wedges because "putter" isn't on the list. Wedges probably get the most practice time for me (just ahead of the mid and short irons). Getting through a round without being totally frustrated (and embarassed) is easier with a solid wedge game. Physics may prove driver and long irons are the hardest to hit (at first), but average golfers don't really ask too much out of a driver (vary the height or work it slightly left or right or try to hit it straight) and I personally have lower expectations with the long clubs when compared to a full set of wedges.

With a solid long game the short irons are shorter, but driver and long irons can be left in the car and a decent score (and a fun day) is still possible. If my setup/alignment and initial movement are sound (and I visualize a quiet yet full turn back and through), the long irons and driver are basically sound. Out of 100 balls, I'll hit driver 5 or 6 times unless I'm working on something specific. Once your driver swing is grooved, it's grooved for life IMHO.

I think the most difficult club to hit is my 3 Hybrid 19* i don't know why but out of the rough a i use 4 iron every if i am miles back

It's a toss up between the driver and 2-iron. The driver is hard to hit consistently in the fairway lately but the 2-iron off the ground is tough to catch flush every time and hit it straight.

[GaijinGolfer]

For me its the 3-wood. The shaft is almost as long as my driver but the head is a lot smaller.
I can hit it OK from the tee but I couldnt hit a decent 3-wood shot off the deck if my life depended on it.
I hit the driver and hybrid pretty well and Im even pretty decent with my long irons but that 3-wood and I dont get along very often.

What do you think is the most difficult club to hit?

I totally agree. Another thing that makes wedges tough is the exactness of the target. The driver target is much larger, so you don't feel bad if your to the left or right of it a bit.

[bogeyhitter25]

3 wood off the deck. It's a shot I'm not completely comfortable with.

[misty_mountainhop]

Voted hybrids/long irons but only for the long irons bit. I don't think hybrids are that bad but long irons get my vote any day of the week.

[jerry g]

i will go with long irons, not including hybrids. my 3 iron is probably the club i have the least amount of confidence.

[Supermanwoot]

This thread really needs to be remade.

The poll choices are terrible and lacking.

Hybrids/Long Irons??? I couldnt hit my 3 iron consistently at all, got a 3hybrid and its my best club. Gotta separate the two.

I gotta say woods/driver. I thought I had it figured out and was hitting it straight yesterday, but after measuring drives it was about 210-220 average which is what I hit the 3-iron on a certain par5. Today I tried to turn up the distance and the fade/push returned.

[squaddie]

I have a tough time hitting my 3 wood and "new" 5 wood off the deck. I've also had problems with my 3-hybrid lately. Oddly enough I've made very good gains with my driver in the last few weeks. I've been working on a better shoulder turn in my swing and keeping my arms closer together to avoid getting stuck, so with some more practice I hope to soon get the wood/longer hybrid swings corrected.

hands down the putter.....i'd shoot low 70's if i could putt.
