Just curious how many people have different clubs that they swap in and out of their bag depending on how they are playing or the course they are playing. I currently swap between a 4I and 4H, hitting the 4H if I'm not hitting the ball as well. I also just purchased a 5W to start working on hitting that vs. my 2H.

Anyone else out there have various clubs you swap in and out regularly?
In my bag:

Driver: FT-5, 9° stiff
Wood: Big Bertha 3W/5W
Irons: X-20 TourWedges: X Tour 52°/56°Hybrids: Idea Pro 2/3/4Putter: Black Series #2Ball: NXT Extreme/NXT Tour

I rotate between drivers (see sig). If the course is tight and short - FT-iQ.
If the course is long - FT-i with white board X.
If it's wide open - less trouble - the Matrix gets the call.

I'm playing in a 36 hole stroke play tourney next week - shorter, tighter County Club course - mot likely will go FT-iQ.

On Saturday of next week it's the 2-man scramble and a long drive competition. FT-i white board X for sure.

At times I go old school and leave the hybrid out and put in 3 iron.

driver: FT-i tlcg 9.5˚ (Matrix Ozik XCONN Stiff)
4 wood: G10 (ProLaunch Red FW stiff)
3 -PW: :Titleist: 695 mb (Rifle flighted 6.0)
wedges:, 52˚, 56˚, 60˚
putter: Studio Select Newport 1.5

nope I have the set up that I feel comfortable with, I dont want or need any other clubs than the ones that are in my bag.

My normal starting lineup is only 13 clubs, so I guess I can swap in something for each round until I decide what to do.

The 14th slot is varying at the moment: old driver (until I'm comfortable with the new one) or 4-iron. I won a closest-to-pin at my club's last tournament with that 4-iron. I also picked up an old demo club, an Adams A7 6-iron with a graphite shaft that I'm contemplating for that spot, as perhaps a high 4/5 (once I figure out my distance with it). Would also be great as a mid-iron for days when I don't hit it great.

I dont really follow the rule of how many clubs in a bag, but I do switch them out to to make it lighter since I always walk.

Not really, I did however swap my driver with a 13* 3w when I had problems controlling it, but now since I've made the right shaft change, the driver stays in the bag for good ........

There are some courses here in Portland Or I'll put he 1i back in the bag for.

Posted
I swap all the time, just depends on the course I'm playing or the weather.

If the course has really tight driving holes, then out goes the Callaway 3 Wood and in goes the Titleist PT-15

If I know I will hit a 2 iron of the tee, then out comes the hybrid and in goes my Callaway X-14 2 iron.

I don't like to change my wedges, but if i'm playing in really fluffy sand, I'll swap in an old 588 with more bounce and take out the 60.

Cheers, Allan

    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
    • Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
