Add a wedge = drop another club, but which one?

[HytrewQasdfg]

I'm thinking of adding another wedge to help my short game. Problem is though, if I add a wedge I go over the 14 club limit, so I 've got to drop another club, but which one?

I did talk to one person that said he subtituted two hybrids for his 5-wood, 3-iron, & 4-iron (how he did it I'm not sure). Other than that, I'm not sure.

Has anyone else added a wedge & dropped a club?

Traditionally when one adds a wedge they usually drop a long iron or fairway wood. Personally, I added a wedge by replacing my 3 and 5 woods with a 4 wood.

Tell us what you have in your bag, and we can better help you with what to drop.

Start going over your golf season and think about clubs you never hit or maybe hit once or twice a round. I only carry two woods, so it was easy for me to make room for my gap wedge. Now, I've added a hybrid so I'll eliminate my 3 iron which I hardly ever hit anyway.

Just go over your own game, and look at what you really hit and what sits in the bag week to week. Then make the appropriate changes to strengthen your game. It may vary from course to course, but you can adjust for that.

You're a 36 handicap, this is easy. I would suggest:

Driver
3-Wood
Two hybrids (anywhere from 21-29°, IMO)
5-PW
A heavy, high-bounce 56° sand wedge (for sand/rough "explosion" club)
Two wedges, maybe 52-56°, lighter and with less bounce (for tighter lies and controlled shots from 100yds and in)
Putter

Where did you find a 4-Wood? I've been debating getting one of those and I can't seem to find them. What's the loft on it?

The current one I have (Adams) is 17* that I got at Dick's Sporting Goods. But, you can find a plethora of different manufacturers' 4 woods on Ebay. Or you just go online to Golf Discount, TGW, etc.. and see which manufacturers have 4 woods available by looking in the fairway woods section. When you go to order one, a 4 wood will pop up if available.

I just settled on this solution myself. I wanted to start carrying a lob wedge and jockeyed around a few club combinations until I found a 4w that fits my game.

I have been thinking about the same sort of thing. I am getting a 17,21 and 24 * hybrid, then going to play titleist 695.cb 5-pw (no fairway woods). Then will have 50, 54 and 60 wedges. Do you think that sounds all right. I have lost all confidence in my 3,4 irons as i shanked them twice today
