What club should I get?

[SandCastle]

I am looking into buying the new Titleist AP2 irons as well as new Titleist woods/ hybrids. I am set on the irons and getting at least one wood and one hybrid but I am not too sure if I should get 4-PW with 3H and 3W or 5-PW with 2 hybrids and a wood. I currently have Taylormade RBZ irons (4-PW) but I can't hit my 4 iron whatsoever. I am leaning towards getting 5-PW and then getting 2 hybrids and one wood. What would you recommend for my hybrids and wood combo? I hit the Titleist 3 wood about 230 and the Titleist 3 hybrid about 215. Any help would be appreciated!

 

I am a college golfer and our school has a Titleist discount so that's why everything is Titleist.

I have basically that set up with the 714 AP2. The 915H 4 hybrid launches pretty high. If you can get your current 4 iron to launch high, I would go with the iron instead of the hybrid. The AP2 launches fairly high. It is a great iron.

If you're not comfortable with your current 4-iron, I'm not sure that getting a different 4-iron would be a really smart thing to do.  I'd say you're thinking logically when you talk about getting 5-W and two hybrids.  I also have 714 AP-2s, and they do launch higher than my previous Mizunos, probably due to using the KBS shafts.  When I tested them with DG shafts they launched lower.

I play the AP2 3-W with DG High Launch shafts. Use to hit low stingers with my 3 and 4 irons until I put the High Launch shafts on them. I would keep your 4 iron and maybe try out some different shaft options, it worked for me. Then go get the Titleist 21 or 19 degree hybrid and 15 degree fairway wood.

See if a different shaft on your current 4i improves things. Then, use this info when arranging your AP2 set-up.

(And, I assume you will get a fitting for the AP2 set.) 

What you might do on the AP2 set: Get 4i as the low iron in the set, and use it when appropriate. If it launched a bit lower than the 4H, the 4i might be useful for tight tee shots on certain courses.

Fairway Woods: if you're going with a single FW, at least try out a 4W before buying a 3W. A couple of years ago at a demo day, the Tour Edge rep was having us try both 3Ws and 4Ws in the Exotics model. To our surprise, a couple of  the big hitters got more distance out of a 4W than a 3W. It depends partly on how you come into the ball. Just something to consider.
