My bag goes from 3 wood to 3Hybrid and then 4 iron. I am not a long hitter and am wondering if I should add a 2Hbrid. Suggestions?

What is your expected distance on each?

My 3H is about 170-175 and my 3W is about 185 (190 off a tee), so I don't have a significant gap. On the other hand, a friend of mine has about a 25-30 yard gap between his 3W and 3H, so he added a 5W, but he could have added a 2H.

My distances are a little less than yours with the hybrid. I have about the same distance with the 3 wood, but am a little inconsistent. Perhaps 17 degree hybrid would solve that issue. Better solution might be to just learn to hit 3 wood more consistently!!!!

The 3-Wood is a tough club to hit off the deck for someone of our level. I hit it off the deck only if the lie is great. Consider a 2H or 5W, or if you aren't able to hit your 3W at all, consider a 4W to replace the 3W and leave you a still-empty slot.

Depends on the course, I'll change between some combination of a 3-wood, 4-wood, 5-wood or hyrbid(s) depending on course, course conditions, weather, etc

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
