Hello all ,just curious. Do you find your self not using all your clubs Im sure it differs from player to player but i have found as of lately seems like i go 3 wood or 5 wood off tee to hybrid 3-6 then if im not on green sand wedge and or pw. Seems like im not using 7-9 very often. Found yesterday i was hitting more greens than i use to or within 10-20 yards Hybrids are new this year pactice the hell out of then added the 6 to see how effective it was and it really is good for my game i kinda missed hitting som good iron shots yester day Just curious Do find your irons sitting in the bag more with the distance you et out of your hybrids Took me awhile to et used to my 3-5 hybrid now its like shooting an arrow So feel free to offer your experiances thanks

Use: Driver, 4-hybrid, 7-iron, 54* and 60*

Do not use: 3-wood, 3-hybrid, 5/6/8/9-iron and GW.

Ive actually thought about taking the GW out completely in favor of a 5-wood but then it would leave me with a 10 degree gap between my PW and 54*, which is just too big of a gap to have.

Whats in my :sunmountain:Β C-130 cart bag?

If, in a typical round, there were a club I didn't use, I would remove it from my bag, at least for typical rounds. I already know what changes I'd make to my bag if the rule changed to permit 15 or 16 clubs, so I have no need for a club to sit in my bag to look pretty. In most rounds at my home course, I use each club in my bag at least once.

Here's what is used most:Β  Putter, SW, Driver; 5 hybrid, other wedges, everything else once or more during a round.

My home course, (par 71) has 5 par 3 holes.Β  130ish, 160ish, 185-200 on the front side.Β  Back side are 160-175 and 150ish.Β  That's everything from an 8-iron through 3 hybrid for me on any given round on the home course.

Some of the par 4s can produce a second shot of anywhere from a 4-hyrbird to a SW and everything in between.

Good thing I have a whole bag of 'em to choose from!

I rarely hit my 8 iron. I have no idea why I just usually am never in range to pull it from my bag.

I don't often have to hit my 3 iron, I took it out of the bag last year, but added it back in this season. At least for now.

I use all my clubs, but I may only use my 52, 9, 7, and 3 wood once or twice. I really like my 8 iron and will use it a lot around 150 yards. I hit my hybrid so well, the wood is not of great use. I think I should buy a new one and gain some yardage.

In my bag:

Nike Mach Speed Black

Nike Dymo 3 wood

TaylorMade Burner 3 hybrid

Mizuno MP-53 PW-3

I've actually been watching this for awhile. I can say that I generally use 13 of my clubs in every round (sometimes all 14.)

It seems that every 13 club round, either my 8i, 9i or PW was the club that did not get used. I cant pull one of these out guessing which one I may not need that day.

What gets used the most? Putter, Driver, 9 wood, Niblick Β and from there it varies - yesterday was 7 iron because I couldnt hit a fairway so I had to play around trees all day. On my heavy fairway days the 5i or 6i will see a lot more use. There is one course I play where I could pull the driver since I use it once there, but since I do not usually carry a 3 wood i may as well leave it.

This is a good thread. I only carry 10 clubs in total for this exact reason. When I carried 14 clubs I was noticing that I didn't use my wedges that much outside of my sw. So gap and lob were removed. I also don't hit my 5 iron well or that often so out that came. I did also have a 4 hybrid and 5 wood in rotation but again the 3 hybrid can wipe them both out by chocking down. Can't wait for 2013 season to start.

First off, I only carry 13.

One of the reasons that I like the course I play is that I use almost every club in the bag each time out.

The clubs I occasionally *don't* use are my 58* (I only use it if I'm in sand, or if I have *very* little green to work with) and my 4hybrid (I really should only carry 12 clubs -- I almost always hit 5w instead of 4h).

I seldom use my 5 iron or 52 degree wedge. Β I can dial back a 5 hybrid or, if I'm swinging well, go harder at a 6 iron when a 5 iron is called for. Β I'm just not as comfortable with the 5 iron as I am the two other clubs. Β I also hit both my 56 degree and 49.5 degree wedges better than the 52.

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.Β

I've been thinking about this, and decided that my least used clubs are probably my hybrid, 5 iron and 6 iron.Β  If I'm going for positioning off the tee I'll go with the 3 wood or skip the hybrid and jump down to the 4 iron.Β  I'm just not yet totally comfortable with the hybrid for some reason.Β  If I hit decent drives, they are usually far enough that I've got shorter irons into the green, and if they are wayward, then I'm probably punching out under the trees with the aforementioned 4 iron.

I only carry 10 and generally use them all at least once during an 18 hole round. If I playΒ  only 9 holes at my home course, this may not hold true depending on if I play the front or back.

    • We do not buy extended warranties. We will use one of our credit cards for the purchase that extends the warranty "x 2". Our thoughts are: a. if the item is a lemon, it will likely break right away and we can attempt to apply the original warranty or credit card extension. b. over the long haul, we will probably save more money by not purchasing the extended warranty and fixing/junking broken items out of our own pocket. The important thing is to keep some records of purchases so one may make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty. I recently sent back some Footjoy shoes for leaking and Footjoy did a reat job of making the claim process work very well. I had the original receipt, warrant info and box. Easy peasy.
