Well that really depends on yardage. I love my nickent hybrids but I also love my 5 and 7 iron as well as my 56*.

5iron at 190 yards, im pretty damn good. And my wedges, im great 100 yards and in. If I can cut out the 3 putts on the rarely missed wedge shots, my short game will be what someday helps me break par.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Seemore Si-4 Black Nickel Putter

favorite club is probably my pitching wedge or 9-iron.

Most fun club to hit 64* wedge =)

After a bad tee shot it does not mean the hole is over, it means you have an opportunity to show what you are made of!

I have to say my 56* Cleveland sand wedge.. anything around 100 yards or in.

check out the instruction setting I put some putting tips and maybe a few wedge tips that will help :) i'm about a scratch player now.

Without a doubt it's me putter.....my money club has been the prime reason that I regularly defeat partners who can out drive me by 40 plus yards.....

as Bobby Jones said : The putter is the great equalizer."

My 4 hybrid. I can hit it anywhere from 175-235 yds. I can turn it around most corners. I love that club. If I am closer to the greens I can do a lot with my 8. I hit is real nice.

Pretty much if gold was 3 clubs it would be these and the putter.

In my bag:

Nike Mach Speed Black

Nike Dymo 3 wood

TaylorMade Burner 3 hybrid

Mizuno MP-53 PW-3

TaylorMade RAC 52, 56, 60

Odyssey Black Series Tour Design

Ditto!  I can hit that about 225 yds off the tee.  When my driver goes south, I will pull out my 4 iron.

The most dependable club that I own is my Nickent 4DX Evolver Driver.  I got the hosels to make it adjustable and allow me to switch shafts.  I've found that a low-launch Grafalloy shaft is best for me.  Last time out I hit 13 of 14 fairways with it.

I'm a really big fan of the irons, but specifically, I guess I really like my 6 iron -- 160-165 yards.  Near the green, I'll take my LW 60º any day.

    • Wordle 1,830 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 what can I say? I’m embarrassed it took me five.
    • that is an excellent approach. I did that with my last set. I made a few 7 irons from different heads and shafts. Getting a feel for how they play on the course is the right idea. Let us know how it goes.
    • I’m glad the USGA booted some of the hecklers. It’s getting out of hand. I wish the networks wouldn’t mic the crowd to give those idiots a platform.
    • New member here, and I have decided to upgrade my clubs. I have been playing for a long time but these last 10 years I have had to put four kids through college. So I've played a few rounds a year and some years have not played at all. I am currently playing Titleist 716 AP2's with Rifle 6.5 steel shafts and Winn grips. I used to hit my 7 iron around 165 yds until just 5 years ago. I turned 62 this year and noticed I can barely get my 7 iron to 145 yds. I went for a fitting to try out some new player distance irons. I don't think I need game improvement irons because I'm pretty straight and rarely try to work a ball (if I'm working a ball, then I most definetely did something wrong to get there). I tried a bunch of irons (Callaway, Mizuno, PXG, Taylormade, Srixon, Ping, and Titleist) and I kept coming back to the Ping and Titleist. They just felt right and really looked good when lining up a shot. The Ping, by far, went the longest of all the irons. The Titleist was a close second in distance. Both felt buttery smooth through impact. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with these irons. I was getting 160 yds with a nice smooth swing (81 mph swing speed). I know I'm asking a lot of my clubs but my last fitting was 27 years ago and I ended up with some Cleveland TA3's or TA2's forged irons with Dynamic Gold S300 (swing speed 87 mph). I really love the feel of my AP2's and the place I'm going to purchase from is going to make a 7 iron in both Ping and Titleist for me to test on real grass. I'm pretty certain it's going to be either one. They're both identical in price for a set of 5-PW. I'm going to forego a 4 iron and get another 4 hybrid to go along with my 3 hybrid. Any and all replies are welcome.
    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.
