If you like your 3 iron, and hit it well, then get a lob wedge. If you don't then get a 3 hybrid, and also get a lob wedge (60*)

Guess you don't need a PW or SW either.

Find the thread about bounce and read up my friend.....

I rather use a 5 iron than a 3 iron for a second shot, 20 yds can mean a lot !!!

You can't 'forget' about getting '250 yards' down the fairway with a 4 wood. It can easily be done. Your comment was beyond irrelevant, referring to iron gaps instead of wood gaps.

I would say ditch the 56* and get a 60*. I use a 52* and 60* and really don't feel the need for anything in between. Then get a hybrid somewhere in the ballpark of 19*, but expect to take a little bit of time getting used to it.

3 Wood:  XL

Irons: 4-5:  AP1; 6-PW:  XL

Wedges:  Tour Grind, 52°/60°

Putter:  White Hot XG #9

I could say the exact same for my 52*. I use 56* and 60* and when I do put my 52* in the bag, i rarely use it.

between all the shots I can make with my PW, 56, and 60...the 52 hasn't had much use for me.

I don't understand why these "stupid" questions keep coming, what other advise can you get than a Hybrid or 5W to fill the "gap" between the 3W and 3i or to add a Lob Wedge.

he could get a 64º or a 2 iron custom made from titleist is he really wanted

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
