I'm keeping the driver, 4-wood, 19* hybrid, and 4-PW (and obviously putter). I think I'm going to take my 3 iron out of the bag because it's 20* and the 4 is 22* and neither come into play very much. You can see what I have now in my signature. I have thrown around a lot of options with adding a 22* hybrid or adding a wedge. I'd like to add a wedge, and my PW is 45* and I've got 52 and 58 right now. I'm willing to replace my 52 and 58 with maybe 50, 55, and 60. Here's my breakdown of distances. Tell me what you think.

D-280
4 wood-250
19*-220
4-190 (carry)
5-180
6-170
7-160
8-150
9-140
PW-130
52*-110-115
58*-100

I'm thinking that if I went to three wedges I could go 100, 110, 120. Any advice will be taken into account and appreciated!

Thanks a lot,
Ryan

I have a similar set up to you. I carry 4 wedges (PW, 52, 56, 60). My rationale was to have all the yardages covered from 130 and in. I figured I would have better chances at birdies/lower scores with the extra wedge versus the 3 iron.

Ditch the 19* and put a 3 iron in your bag. I think I'm really going against the grain on this one, but long irons are so money. As to wedges, three is fine - but if you want to make exactly matching distance gaps, try to replace your 52 with a 51 or 50. I play with three myself, and would have four if I didn't need my 5 wood. (My 3 wood trajectory couldn't clear a tree to save my life).

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
