I just bought a r11s 5 wood and I also have a callaway diablo 3 hybrid 21*. the problem im running into is i traded in my 56* wedge and 50* wedge to pay for the 5 wood. was this a bad decision. it leaves me with a GW at 49* and an additonal Vokey wedge at 60*. I hit the r11s really well but the question is is it necessary if I have a 3 hybrid as well? or should i return it to Rodger Dunn and get another wedge?? say 54*?

I'd use a sand wedge a metric sh*t ton more than I would a 5W if I already had a 3 hybrid that I hit well & didn't have anything between a PW & LW.      Definitely get that 54 degree sand wedge...

I hate to mention this next point - after you've bought the 5W - but could you quick-swap it for a 4W? For most golfers, a 4W is easier to hit than a 3W, and it would carry farther than the 5W. Also, it would widen the gap between 3H and fairway wood. BTW, I tried out the Diablo Edge hybrids when they came out and really liked them - but, I went with a TM Raylor instead.

Try out the 54* SW and make sure it gets you out of the sand OK. I dumped a 54 and went back to a 56* because of this problem.

Here's what your bag adjustment would look like:

Driver = 1

5W = 1 ( Swap for R11S 4W... 17* ?)

3H =1

JPX = 8 (4i-GW)

Vokey Ws = 2 (?) 60* + 54*

Putter = 1

Focus, connect and follow through!

I ended up getting a Titleist 910H 19* while turning in the Diablo 3 hybrid and bought the 54* vokey. I think im set now. I really appreciate the insight guys

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
