My go to club is quite often the driver with a few adjustments.

Coming from a tight course with plenty of OB and bush riddled with black snakes, straight drives are very important. Up short par 4's I hit a 2 or 3 iron but sometimes when the wind is in to one's face, an iron just wont do. I go to a "gripped-down piercer" - as I call it. I grip down the grip, the stance narrows naturally and the swing is a little more three quarters. I imagine a low, piercing flight that doesn't get to high ( this vision feeds one's body to make the set-up changes).

The shot comes out low, straight and running (the club-face remains nice and straight, right down the line). I love playing it.

Just a note on the path of the club... I want it coming straight down the line, not inside, not outside with not much rolling of hands; straight ball flight; 3/4 swing and rip'n it.

my burner 3 hybrid. i just started using my 3 wood again after getting it gripped, but with the hybrid i can hit a low stinger that rolls for days or a nice high fade that lands soft.

i hit two greens,one from 200 and one from 210 with it last time i played. (i hit zero with every other club in my bag)

i want to like my driver more so bad. it's a good driver, extremely forgiving and if i just get it in my head to lay off it it flies straight and true.

 G25 Driver (10.5* Stiff Flex)

 G20 3 Wood (15* Stiff Flex)

You know, sometimes I fan that 2,

And sometimes I catch that 3 a little thin.

And I've hit flyers with the 4,

I've hooked my 5,

I've shanked the 6,

Skulled the 8,

Fatted the 9,

Chili-dipped the wedge,

And I've bladed the sand!

There is ole Mr. Three-wiggle, isn't there?

But then there's the seven iron.  I never miss with the seven iron.

I'm really starting to fall in love with 9-iron chip and knockdown shots (very old school).

Probably my 6 iron lately. It's been solid. But, really, all my irons have been reliable lately, which is a strange state of affairs.

The 7 iron is a close second, particularly because I rely on it for punches and putt-style rolling chips, so in terms of a "go-to" club in the sense of the club you go to when you're in trouble, it fits the bill. But the 6 iron has been preferred.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

Pitching wedge (48 degrees). Every time I get take it out the bag I'm looking forward to hitting the shot. Visual evidence suggests I probably practice with it too much too; should be hitting the clubs I hate, like my 5 iron. Which can kiss my pimply white ass.

I thought about this a little more.  My favorite club has been my 7-iron.  I think it's because this is the club I was using when getting fitted for an iron set.  I tried 7 irons from each set until I found the best one and it just stuck.  When thinking about yardage, I start at my 7i and work my way up or down to select the right club.

Pitching wedge. 100-105 yards consistant.

    • Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°. 
    • Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.  
    • I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
    • Day 547, May 2, 2024 18 holes with @DrizZzY using my TruStick®. Hit a LOT of really good shots today.
    • Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
