I am going to be gettting TaylorMade R9 TPs and I need to decide if I am going to get a 4 iron or not. My bag set-up will be driver, 3 wood, 3 hybrid, 4 hybrid, 52* and 58* and obviously my putter. Now my questions is should I get the 4 iron since I will have a 4 hybrid. I know the 4 iron will go different distance than the 4 hybrid. If I don't get the 4 iron, then what should I get to fill my bag up with 14 clubs. Thanks for any help.

Haha. My 5 Wood is my least favorite club in my bag. I don't even know why I even keep it in my bag...I haven't used it in months.

Anyway, I would go with the 4 Iron but if you decide not to take the four iron, I would add maybe a low lofted PW(maybe 46°) or a high lofted LW(maybe 62°).

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

I was thinking about adding a 64 degree wedge but, I thought I might get myself in more trouble with that wedge. I just thought I might use it when I don't need to and end up worse off. But, who knows it could end up working for me.

EHS, you are changing the way you play. I noticed you didn't list any current FW. But after this change you'll have a 3W and 2 Hybrids. I'm thinking you might want that 4i around in case you have to take longer than you like to get used to the new setup. Couldn't hurt. Besides the more complete a set is the higher the resale value later.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

The reason I don't have a FW in my sig is because I already got rid of my old FW and my old Hybrid.

So the new additions are the 2nd Hybrid and the 52* wedge. Then I'd still say get the 4i. Would you be willing to try adding more wedges as someone suggested? Me I think Pelz is right about knowing how far each will go with a certain backswing but like so many old Pros two wedges is enough for me. I'll make them work when I need to.

I also have a 4i but it's not in the bag now because I'm trying 3 hybrids.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

I would be more than willing to add another wedge. Sometimes I think when it comes to wedges having less is better for me. It basically decides what I have to do and there are no second guessing. But, I am not set on that attitude as I said earlier, I would be more than willing to add another wedge.

Bingo. Who wants to buy a used set that starts at 5-iron? Okay, maybe a lot of people, but sure as heck not me.

Get the long irons - maybe even the 2 and 3 if available and affordable. Hit them at the range too. It'll make the 5-iron feel like a wedge.

21* is not a loft for a 5 wood but more of a 7 wood... isn't it ?

The 21* Spalding 5-wood I have in a bag in the basement says otherwise. The 19* Titleist sitting in the same bag agrees with you. The persimmon 5-woods are staying out of it.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
