On par 4's my tee shot is always based on getting to the right distance to leave me an easy 8 iron in to the green. Anytime I pull my 8 iron I am super confident of getting the results I'm looking for.

Off the tee box any chance I get I will hit my hybrid or 3 wood. My driver is like a tuxedo..... for special occasions only

8 iron, hybrid, 3 wood are my go to clubs. The more I can play those clubs in a round the better I will score.

What’s yours?

3 iron and 8 iron for myself, I used to be addicted to my 3 wood but over the last season I started replacing a lot of my 3 wood tee shots with 3 iron tee shots and found that I am more confident over the ball and quite a few times i'm in a better situation for my approach.

4 iron. Easier to hit than my 3 wood or utility club. Kinda weird. But hey, that's my game.

I really like my nine iron (have a hole in one with it along with a couple of close calls...).

However, I have to go with the drive for my go to club. Ever since I purchased my Titleist I have been just crushing the ball with a slight fade (which works best for most of my courses here...).

When I'm on with the driver, I'm going to have a good day.

Cut 3 wood on tight holes. I don't even look at it half the time because I know it's going in the fairway.

3 Wood .... as a matter of fact, it is an old Orlimar Trimetal Plus with a Fujikura Prototype X shaft.... and I can find any club that can replace it!

In addition, my gap wedge 50 degree... whenever I have 100 yards left, it is a guarantee

Off the tee, it's my driver (R7 460). It's long and accurate. On bad days it seems like it's the only thing I can hit.

Off the deck my hybrid (TM Rescue Dual 25 degree 5i replacement)

In close, my sand wedge (especially if I can take a full swing and drop one in)

In really close - nothing, I can't chip to save my life!

Used to be my 8 iron, but for the last few months my 9 Iron has been my money club. Don't really know why, but I am using more for a variet of shots. I cna stop it FAST if need be and fly it hihg or low. It is odd...for my first 4 years playing, it has always been my eight.

Have to say the 9 Iron though

I would have to say my driver. Except out of the nasty. Then it is my 6 iron. That thing is more beat up than a New York Hooker. Whenever I have to get it back onto the fairway, out of the gunk (desert courses) I reach for the 6 iron.

I guess if I my driver weren't my go to club, I probably wouldn't need my 6 iron as much.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
