I just got a new set of irons and a new 3 wood, now i would like to get a couple hybrids to fill in the gaps but im clueless on what lofts i need. the 3 wood is a 15 degree and the 4 wood is a 23. Also im not opposed to not putting the 4 iron in my bag and just get 3 hybrids because i dont hit the 4 very well, the 5 iron is 26 degrees. Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

In the bag:
driver: Sumo2 9.5
3/5 wood: 15/17
hybrids: 3/4 rhythm
irons: cci 4-pw, swputter: newport 2 detourballs: nxt

most 4 woods are 16.5*, but any way, try a 17-19 with 4 iron or 20-24 with out.

I'm pretty sure you meant 4-iron and not 4-Wood... I'm assuming your 4-

Iron is 23 degrees. The short answer is, do you prefer woods or hybrids? You might want to consider a 20-21 degree hybrid to "replace" your 3-iron. If you like it, then you can consider a 23-degree to actually replace a 4-iron. And if you dislike it, you can get a 5-wood (18-19 degrees) instead of a 2-hybrid, assuming you like fairway woods.

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
