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.

    • Day 24 9-7 Worked on lower body movement with full swing. Focused on hips. Need to work on setup a bit. Was hoping to get to the short game area today, stayed home and recorded some swings instead. I've come to the conclusion I learn the most with my practice setup at home, just a net and a hitting strip. Overall happy with the progress this week. 
    • Day 2 (September 7), still with the grip and the medicine ball (using weights).   Still on vacation and really aching to be able to do a full practice the way I'd be able to at home.  Also bought a 1/2" section of pipe today at the hardware store and have been regularly practicing the grip with that too while watching Sunday football with the family.  
    • Day 1: Worked on feels for wedge swings. Primarily getting everything to move from the top of the backswing in the correct sequence. 
    • Day 6 (7 Sep 25) - Afternoon pitch session with the 54 and 58 in the backyard. Keys: Alignment - Setup - Smooth swing thru - working on each to be as “automatic” as possible - not mindless, but deliberately repeatable. I have found the precision required to properly execute carries well into the full swings.  
    • 180% is the threshold. But yeah, many of them are close to 200%. Not 120 and 123%. People generate speed differently. I think your speed will come more easily when this stuff gets sorted out. Stay disciplined. Stay on the road. You can't get off exit 74 before you hit exit 32.
