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.

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

    • Day 8 (28 Jun 26) - Worked with face position at address and overall setup - open/neutral/closed - and setting up for resulting shot shapes - using 8i and hard foam balls.  It was abbreviated as the thunder began to rumble. Got in about 20 swings before calling it. 
    • Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
