I would tend to agree with the guys saying 5 wood or 3 iron. I also agree with combining the two into a 3 hybrid. The other one that makes a ton of sense is the Lob Wedge. This is a club that can be very hard to hit with a big risk/reward potential. I have clubs in my bag that I take out when I get to the course depending on where I'm playing. Lately the 2 Hybrid has been in my garage. Right now I carry Driver, 3 Wood, 3 Hybrid, 4-GW and a 58* SW/LW plus a putter. That has me at 13. It gives me the flexibility to add whatever I need to match the conditions. There are courses that I play that depending on the tees, I may only use 7-8 clubs.

thx yall

Some of the PWs which come with modern sets are pretty low loft..like 44 to 46 degrees. You may want to check what kind of gap you have between your 53 and your PW. It does not make sense to have 3 degree gaps in your strongest lofted clubs and then a gap of 7 or 8 degrees in the middle.

In the bag:
905R 9.5* Fujikura Speeder S
X 15* Fujikura R
X 19* Fujikura S

I think you should combine the 5 wood and 3 iron to a 3 hybrid, easier to hit, and will probably work better for you.

Definitely check the lofts on your wedges.

I used to have the same problem, and finally went with a 58 degree lob wedge. Easier to consistently hit than the 60, just as easy out of the bunker. My next wedge is a 52, and then my PW is a 47 degree.

As I get better though, I may do a 54/60 combo with my next two wedges, then again maybe not :)

Also definitely look at your 5w/3i/4i. Figure out what you hit all 3 of them, and maybe look at 2 hybrids to replace the 3 that fill in the gaps. Or maybe just 1 hybrid that replaces your 5w/3i.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
