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.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, it's more complicated than your high school projectile motion equations.  I am thinking it could increase under certain conditions. A gust of wind blowing in the same direction as the spin, causing more high and low pressure on the ball in a certain way that it increases the spin?  It has zero vertical velocity at its apex. So, it is all velocity caused by gravity for the vertical component.  Yea, landing angle is a big thing.  It is parabolic. Your apex is 90 yards in the air. A 30-yard elevated green is 1/3rd that height. At the apex, your vertical descent angle is zero, it should be horizontal. So, you are going from zero theta to let's say 45 degrees. Even if it was linear, let's say you're landing angle is close to 30 degrees. That is less than a driver and probably is significant.  Yea, it depends on how you hit it. Especially for downhill shots. If you hit a flighted shot, it might react more like a normal shot because of the lower launch and lower apex relative to your position. Versus a normal shot might come in at like 70 degrees, instead of 45 degrees.

      Spin will decay slightly over time, but not by a lot. The horizontal portion of the velocity will also decay due to air resistance. The vertical component will be increasing since the ball is accelerating due to gravity (albeit that the spin is creating lift, which will counteract that some). Neither of those has much of an impact of how the ball will react. The biggest difference is the vertical land angle. The angle theta prime (not sure how to show that on here) will be shallower than theta. That means the ball will stop faster at theta than at theta prime. The other thing is because there is still a horizontal component to the velocity, it will carry less far at theta prime than at theta.  The effects of those two things work in opposite directions. Which one "wins" will depend on ground conditions, ball flight, spin, any necessary carry distances, etc. Fortunately the margins are fairly small so you can wing it with enough experience. The calculation of the carry distance change is what your range finder estimates when you have slope turned on.

      So, I was looking at this image and wondered what the best way is to play your approach to an elevated green versus a lowered green. Is the spin and velocity profile at θ' much different than at θ? I don't know the physics of it but to my wee brain, it would seem that at θ' the spin would be higher but velocity lower. At θ the spin would seem to be lower but velocity higher since it has more time to fall from its peak where it would be zero. Even the image below is off visually since we know the arc of the ball flight isn't consistent throughout.    It's okay if you tell me I'm overthinking this. 😂
