Yardage Gap Advice

[PaladinsPhotographer]

Hi Folks,

I need a little advice on a yardage gap issue I have. I play the AP2 irons (5-GW) and my next club down is driver. To remedy this, I got fitted and picked up a 19 degree Taylormade TP Hybrid.

The problem is, I hit my 5-iron 205 yards (190 carry) and the 3-hybrid 245-255 (230 carry) yards. What 1-2 clubs would you use to fill that gap? Would an ap2 4-iron (that should theoretically go 215-220) be close enough?

Hybrids usually go a bit further than the same numbered (lofted) iron so 3h 4-GW is going to leave you with a big gap in the 210-230 carry range. For most guys 210-230 is no-mans land as far as hitting greens, so it's not super important to have a club that flies that far. It might be a different story for you, I don't know. Here is what you could do to tighten up the gaps

3h, 4h, 5h, 5-gw

or

3h, 3i-GW

Or some combination of the above.

A 4-iron in theory would fill it.  Or if you like the hybrid, maybe a 22 or 23 degree hybrid would work.  Another option that is much less expensive is to choke down on the 19º about an inch, inch and a half.  That will take off 10-15 yards.

I would go with a 4-iron.  I have the Adams A4 and changed out the 4 hybrid for a CB2 4-iron and it worked out great.  It plays just like the 5 iron but gets me the next 10 yards.
