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.

    • Although the base rules don't make this really clear, the Player must have decided to use Unplayable Ball relief before lifting the ball.  This exact situation is discussed in the Committee Procedures section of the Rules, section 6C(8).  Section 6C addresses how to rule when a Player proceeds under a Rule that does not apply.  Note that 9.4 applies, 9.4 deals with a player moving his ball when no rule allows it.   Rule 9.4 penalizes the Player for lifting his ball when not permitted by the Rules, and requires him to replace it.  Since he dropped and played from a different place, the Wrong Place penalty applies.  As for a serious breach, that would only apply if the Wrong Place gave him a really significant advantage.  Since he could have taken Unplayable Ball relief in essentially the same spot, for just 1 penalty stroke, the Wrong Place penalty of 2 strokes is enough "punishment", there's no need to consider a DQ.
