Which clubs do I need?

[QuadzillaXXX]

Alright, I've been golfing for years and finally have started playing more and working on my game more.
Hopefully I'll keep improving and won't throw as many clubs.
I only have 10 clubs in my bag though: 3i-pw, driver, putter.
Question is, which 4 clubs am I missing to really improve my game?

you need a hybrid club quad. something to substitute the 3i from the rough or from 190+ yards to the green.

also, you need a sandwedge. must have for around the greens in the rough. i have both a lob wedge and sandwedge but just a sandy will do

Thanks WCI..

So I use the hybrid from the rough as opposed to my 3i? Can you hit it in place of a 3i all the time or is it not as good from the fairway?

[Windy City Irish]

i dont carry a 3i in my bag at all. use the hybrid in its place because its good to rescue you out of the rough but also feels like a fairway wood from the fairway and can give you a little more confidence you can poke it farther

I'll have to give that a shot. A kid I work with has been trying to sell me a 3 and 4 hybrid and said he'd let me play a round with them first.

[Windy City Irish]

its worth it. just go to the range and try it out. its going to take a few rounds to get used to it, but you will see immediate results out of the rough with it for sure

That's good because I'm there a lot lol

[Windy City Irish]

lol, me to off the tee. its the one part of my game that is really struggling. I mean, im a 13.5 handicap that tees off like a 25 handicap. irons to the green, chipping and putting save my ass every round

[QuadzillaXXX]

I'm the other way around man. I'm okay off the tee, nothing big but 200-225 that's usually playable but the closer i get to the green the worse i am.
I just can't seem to be able to put myself in a position to be putting for birdie.

[dhunter]

get a lob wedge. it'll help you with those short chips to the green.

[QuadzillaXXX]

good call. I was looking at some wedge sets to help me out since all i have is a pw. i don't have the talent to use that 1 club every time lol

SW,3W amd 5W...

personally I think hybrids suck but thats just me...I only carry 13 clubs anyways though.


We won a best ball yesterday at 14 under....prizes sucked balls though

[QuadzillaXXX]

I have a scramble this Sunday but we won't be anywhere near 14 under, we'll be lucky to break par

yeah I really have to get a sw too, i need a club inside that pw

3W...a definite on most days you probably better off vs. driver
i have replaced both 3 & 4 irons with hybrids just way easier to hit
gap wedge...for those 100yd shots
sand wedge...obv. and also chips around the green
i have both a 2hybrid & a 60(lob) depending on where i am playing. most players chili dip lobs most of the time so i would play it lower and let it roll
that's my bag. i am 3 handicap. hope it helps and gl

[QuadzillaXXX]

cool man, thanks, i appreciate the breakdown

gap wedge...56 degrees? from 100 yds in or do you hit the lob at some point from there?
