Every club in my bag serves a purpose and it's worth recognising that when you go through your own bags. How do you play the game, and what clubs can help you to do this?
I've always been a pretty poor fairway wood player, but strong driver of the golf ball. Launch monitor data helps back this up because I hit up around 6 degrees with the driver, it makes me a bit shallow with the fairway woods. For that reason i've moved to a strong lofted hybrid to play as my 3 wood, the shorter shaft allows me to steepen my angle of attack and the head shape allows me to make more of an iron swing with it. 3 woods in recent years have just been decoration in my bag, however I often pull the hybrid out now and it's turned out to be a really good decision to move away from a 3 wood.
The driver is always a straightforward fit because lofting down always helps me to get my natural draw shot shape under control. When you loft a driver down you open the clubface at the same time, and with my attack angle being aggressively upwards the lower loft always helps me flight the ball better. I just need to steer away from drivers that are too low spin. I use the same shaft that i've used for years, Aldila really work well for me in the big stick.
As for irons I always combo them, almost always playing a slightly bigger 3 iron, i've mixed that up in the past however recent times the 3 iron is always a bit bigger, it offers me a little more confidence from the bigger footprint. I always play a 2 iron or driving iron, driving irons are the current norm these days however i always flight them a little too high. The lynx stinger however ticks the bill for this, I can flight it high and low when required. If you'd like to know how to play the stinger shot you can check it out here.
As always if you have any technical questions about your set make up, looking to upgrade your clubs or need advice configuring your golf bag then drop us an email or use our iron selector tool.
Happy Golfing
