Pick my 14th club
Current Setup:
VAS Driver Launcher 5 Wood Halo Hybrid 19 d 3 Iron 4 Iron 5 Iron 6 Iron 7 Iron 8 Iron 9 Iron Pitching Wedge Gap Wedge Putter My game is pretty solid - I'm a down the middle 240 hitter that struggles with long irons and fairway woods. My 6-9 and PW are getting stronger and my short game is my strength. I'm coming up on 20 rounds, and scoring lower and lower, so it look like my handicap is going to be an 8. Basically, I hit 12 of 14 fairways during a round, chunk 6 or 7 second shots and bogey a long par 3 every round. Any thoughts on my 14th club? The laws of physics dictate that I cannot hit a 3 iron no matter what I do, and I'm thinking of taking it out of the bag and replacing it with a hybrid, so I might be back for another recommendation on a 14th club. |

Re: Pick my 14th club
Is your Gap a 52? I couldn't see playing without my sandwedge, a 56.

I've learned to use it in all situations and I'm comfortable with it. I could add a sand or a lob wedge, but I don't lose many, if any, shots from 75 in, so I don't know if it's a big priority. |

Re: Pick my 14th club
your hybrid and your 5 wood are nearly the same loft? ever think of a 3 wood?
also if you learn to use a lob wedge it can really help if you are an 8 handicap. |

[/ QUOTE ]As ghostie says, plus your 3 iron too, basically you have 3 clubs that are almost the same unless your 5 wood is strong. You really should have a 3 wood. |

That should be a launcher 3 wood, NOT a 5 wood. Sorry. |

Re: Pick my 14th club
How close do you hit your 3i and your Hybrid?
I'd look into a 3 wood or 60* wedge... |
