#4 and #5 Irons

[mdr817]

I currently have these clubs as well as the #3 and #4 Fairway Hyrbids, do I really need to keep the irons?

Only you can answer that. Some things to think about would be do you have two clubs that you hit the same distance? If so, of course you don't need one of them. Normally hybrids are easier to hit than long irons but they also tend to go foarther as well. So see if you have an overlap in distances and go from there.

I really can't tell you because i dont know your distances or how well you feel with either of those clubs. I can tell you though that i see a really big mistake about how people see hybrid distances. If you have a 4 hybrid i does not go the same as a 4 iron. Because of the length and the more wood-like head of the hybrid it will go further and is one above as an iron. So a 4 hybrid would be a 3 iron and a 3 iron would be a 2 iron and so on. Go with whatever you fell more comfortable with, but try not to have any major distance gaps in your bag.

I agree. Only you can really tell if you will need them. I carry a 4 and 5 iron, but use my 3H in most of the situations that they would come into play. The one place I will use them would be off the tee where I know I need to draw the ball. I can turn my hybrid over reasonably well, but my natural shot with it is still a fade. I tend to draw my irons so they stay in the bag. That and the fact that they were expensive and I would feel like I paid too much for 6-GW otherwise.
