I was curious out there I know most people have one or two comfort clubs that they just feel the most secure about in a bad situation or a go to situation. I was curious what some of ya'lls comfort clubs were. For me its: 56* 8iron 7 wood More on the 56* wedge. It is something I hit everyday for hours a day at the house from 5ft to 100yards. Aimed at the barn, the dog, the cows, the trees, the shed, even some pieces of plywood set out. I feel when I have it in my hands that I will get it within a reasonable distance to the hole. My stepdad gave it to me when he got a new 60* and I haven't sat it down yet!

Razr X Tour 6 Hybrid.  I love that club.  30* lofted hybrid with very little offset.  Can hit it off tees on par 3s from 130 to 170 yards and get close usually.  Can move ball forward in stance and hit a huge high ball over trees, or move back in stance and hit a waist-high line drive.  I feel like I can hit whatever shot I want with the club.  Its my layup club on most par 5s, my tee club on most par 3s, and my get out of trouble club.  My buddy added a cobra 5 and 6 hybrids to replace his 5 and 6 irons and instantly took like 7 strokes off.  I love that mid-loft hybrid.  SO much easier than a "real" 6 iron.

Are the hybrid really that good? I have thought about getting one, the only one we have is a pawn shop 3 hybrid that is pretty nice just haven't really used it "much".


I've got the RazrX 3 and 4 hybrids.  Awesome clubs.  Just got the 4 hybrid.  Did a side by side comparison with it and my 4 iron.  About 10 yards longer on perfect contact than the real 4 iron.  On mishits easily 20 to 30 yards longer.  So much easier to hit.

52* Vokey wedge. I use it for everything around the greens. Given my inability to hit many GIR, I made a point of making friends with a short club so that I was in a decent position once I got close to the green. It's paid off.

If I can make the yardage work by choking up or letting it rip, my 4-hybrid is a comfort club. Often I feel more comfortable with a 4-hybrid than I do with a 6-iron.

It's a no brainer, the 2 clubs I've had in my bag for about 20 years, my putter and 64 degree wedge. I wish that I could be that comfortable with every club in my bag, I just might play better.

I would have to say 8 iron. For some reason I can just always hit that club perfectly and looking down at it when addressing the ball is definitely comforting. Also my 52 degree wedge. That one I can almost always hit to a certain distance.

50* Vokey. You can tell, too, it has the most visible wear on the clubface. I use it for about 99% of my greenside play and its my absolute money club from 85-105 yards. I also love my 8 iron as its my most used for approach shots and chip and runs.

Depends how far I want to hit the ball... Don't really have any club I trust more than others. If I don't want to risk stuff from the tee I'll hit 3 wood or 4 iron. I'm comfortable with all my irons. It is always a decision you have to make on a bad lie. If I got 170 yards left, but can't hit it with a 6i, I might club down to 8i and hit it lower.

If I'm struggling off the tee I will go to the 4 iron. Sometimes the 3 iron. Nothing like hitting a solid stinger long iron 230 to build your confidence

my driver never comes out of the bag cos i just cant hit it. my 5 wood is my club, 5 wood off the tee on par 4's, i can hit it loooong so im not missing out too much cos my driver goes further right than it does forward.

    • Yeah, longevity/durability count for quite a lot.  Another thing I remember from Ovechkin's early days, some commentators thought he'd never last, given his willingness to make big hits in the open ice.  It was a bit like "goal scorers score, checkers check, he can't do both for long".
    • And Sidney Crosby, the far better player, has already surpassed Gretzky's record by having 20 seasons of averaging over a point a game. 😄  (And there were I think two seasons where Wayne was 1.0, while Crosby has been > 1 every year of the 20.) P.S. Malkin still has more points per game than Ovechkin. 😄 
    • UPDATE: Current swing. Duck hooking the hell out of my irons 😞    
    • Yeah I only managed to get round by trying to play a proper "upright and cut across fade" kinda shot, was hit and miss, still left the course with a 95 and verging on tears 😄 I have a lesson booked this coming Tuesday, I have had one with the same instructor recently but it was our first lesson so didn't get much from it really, I've put below a video's from the lesson but I'm not sure what I can garner from it 😄       
    • Another reason I'd take second place with the meltdown at the end is, at least for our tournament, second place prize money is pretty good. Where as outside the top 25 gets nothing.
