Hi guys

I currently have 13 clubs which I am pretty happy with.  I hit the ball a pretty good way so not sure if that will help factor into your decision on which club I should put in my bag last.

Right now I have...

Driver

3wood

4Hybrid

4I - 9I

Pitching Wedge

Gap Wedge(52)

Sand Wedge

Putter

Should I add another wedge (maybe an Approach wedge?) Or go with a 3I or 3H.. I have never needed one though so I'm thinking throwing another wedge in my bag might be good... Do you guys use your 60* if you do have them in your bag?

Thanks

If you intend to add a wedge, I would suggest going for a 58 / 60. I'm not sure what your SW is in terms of loft, but a 60 degree (I game a 58 and it's very similar) is very versatile and a great addition as it gives you a lot more options around the greens. You need to practice a lot with it as it is a club that requires good technique and feel. Many struggle with it, but if you can take advantage of the club, it's a great weapon.

Otherwise, how big is the gap between your 3 wood and 4H?

Look to see how big the gap is in between each of your clubs and see if you can fill any large spaces 25+ yards.  This is a good place to start.

You bring up a good point, I have heard some people struggle with a 60 while others are down right deadly with it.  My SW is a standard 56.  My 3wood isn't a great club for my consistency wise but around 240 ish.  My 4H is 210 to 220 (4I 200-210) .  The distance gap is pretty standard though within about 25 yards of each other so nothing I can't handle.  I'm pretty interested in the 60 wedge.

You should get rid of the 4 hybrid and have a 3 hybrid you have a 4 iron and a 4 hybrid with a huge gap between your 3 wood and your 4 hybrid or iron you should go driver 3 wood 3 hybrid 4-9 and then get your gap sand and 60 the 60 is great to have around the green and from 60 yards and in to get spin and nice soft flop shots. I love my 60 a lot of people don't think that club should be in the bag but I believe its useful.

I'll agree with the 4i/4h thing.  Drop either of the 2 and go with a 3h or 3i, then add a lob wedge.

This is exactly what I have....the 4i, 3h, 3w and a lob wedge.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
