Need 14th club advice

[JohnQVegas]

So, I have a dilemma. My 21deg hybrid has been retired to the corner of my cart shed, as the head came off mid round .

Background on bag composition: I've got a 15deg 3wood, now with no 21deg hybrid, it goes down to my 24deg hybrid. So there's a 9 degree gap there and about 35-40 yard gap. On the other end, I'm wondering if I should pick up a 60 deg wedge? I've got a 52 and a 56 now, but more loft = less roll and my home course greens are EXTREMELY small, so precision is key.

Anyway, wanted some advice on what to do. Should I replace it with another hybrid, around 20deg? Or should I get a 60deg wedge?

How much did you use the 21deg hybrid?

If you used it a lot I would get another. You can also open up the face of the 56* to give it more loft if you need to.

On the other hand. How often do you find you self 10yds shorter then a full swing of the 56* and have a need for 60*
I would only game a 60* if you have very elevated greens or you are very good with one around the green.

Go to a pre-owned site, like Callaway, which has other brands as well, and you can find a new or like new hybrid for very reasonable cost. Try it and see if you like it, if you don't maybe get a 60 degree wedge. At your handicap, a 60 would not likely be useful for more than a pitching and less than full shot, and a lot of great players never used a 60. I like my 60, but never try to hit it full out.

Play a few rounds with 13 clubs and see which of the two you missed the most=made a greater difference by not being in your bag.

How much did you use the 21deg hybrid?

I would only say that a 60 degree wedge is almost never used for "full swing" shots. Its main utility is for control over relatively short pitches from 20 to 60 yards.

Good call. Ended up picking up a Callaway 20deg hybrid for $40 with no tax/shipping. I'll try it for a few weeks and see how it works out. Thanks!

Can't you just put a new shaft in the 21deg hybrid?

TM Raylors (19* and 22*) are now on sale for about $99. Boat-hull sole burrows through rough grass on shots.

I take full swings with my 60* with no problem. I think it just depends on your level of comfort with it.
