4 Wood

[Carnoustie_Stokie]

Guys, what do you think about replacing a 3 wood and 19 degree resuce with a 4 wood ?

How many wedges and total clubs are you carrying and what do you hope to accomplish?

I beleive I have a gap in my bag between the 3W and the 19 degree Rescue (replaces 3 Iron), maybe a 5 wood would do the trick, then again a 4 wood might allow me another wedge, dont want too many clubs.

Current wedges are PW SW 58

Replacing the 3 wood with a 4 wood would probably be fine. Dropping the 19 degree club would be a mistake for most people since that distance comes into play on long par 3s and long par 4s for most people. Keep track for a couple of rounds to see how many times you actually use that club. If it is 3 or more times a round I would probably keep it. A five would could replace both 3 and 19 if you can work the ball and are not long enough to reach par
5s in two and don't usually hit a 3wood off the tee.

4 woods are rarely seen these days. A 3 is 15 degrees and a 4 is anywhere from 17 to 18. To me, a 19 degree is too close to a 4 to worry about it and a tad easier to hit.
