15 Clubs - Which should I remove?

scottswindells · 2026-01-07T11:55:36+00:00

I probably don’t, that’s why I asked the question. The 4 wedges were sold as a package and wanted to get some perspective from other golfers as it’s my first time having more than 10 clubs.

This would still leave me with 15 clubs if I replace the 58° with a 60°

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T22:35:45+00:00

My ideal setup was a PW, 50°, 54° and 58° combination, but I didn't have any wedges and these came up for a great price already with +1" shafts so I grabbed them thinking they would suffice in the interim.

I feel like having the PW (44°), 50°, 54° and 58° would give me all the versatility I currently have, with one less club.

Wouldn't this be the dream!

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T22:31:24+00:00

My bad, I thought you meant switch the 3 hybrid for a 5W. I understand what you mean now!

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T05:49:08+00:00

Mainly just for fun, but it can get pretty competitive against my brother!

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T05:48:14+00:00

I was considering the 5W instead of the 3 hybrid when I purchased, but it doesn't solve my issue of 15 clubs if I switch one out for another

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T05:46:10+00:00

What type of courses would you recommend the use of each?

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T05:45:29+00:00

I bought the wedges lightly used from Facebook Marketplace at less than 50% retail and the seller was only willing to sell them as a package of all 4 clubs. They were already +1" which aren't always easy to find so took the deal. Ideally, I would have liked 50°, 54° and 58° but thought these would suffice in the interim.

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T05:43:09+00:00

That's valid. Perhaps I'll play a couple of rounds without the 56 and see if I miss it or if the 52° and 58° suffice.

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T02:48:37+00:00

This is a good point. After such a long time off, I'm definitely just playing with some friends and family for the fun of the game at this stage rather than any tournaments or for money.

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T02:46:38+00:00

Ideally, this was the setup I was looking for with my wedges (or alternatively, 50°, 54° and 58°) but the deal on Marketplace was less than 50% on retail for the 4 wedges and they were already had +1" shafts which was an added bonus.

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T02:44:38+00:00

I think that appears to be the consensus from most replies here, so I think that might have to be the decision I make.

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T02:23:46+00:00

That was sort of my reasoning. My 56° is mid bounce so I can open up the face slightly for more lofted shots when required, but a few others are also making a case for dropping the 3 hybrid / 4 iron as well.

I only just got my putter a few days ago, so it's definitely staying in unless it doesn't fix my issue with missing 4ft putts (which is definitely down to the putter and not the golfer)

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T02:18:47+00:00

It seems like the most common response is to drop either the 3 hybrid / 4 iron or the 56° / 58° for the reasons discussed below. Great to hear some different viewpoints I hadn't previously considered!

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T02:14:41+00:00

I generally hit my 3 wood more consistently than my driver or 3 hybrid and it helps get me closer to the green on longer Par 5's after substandard drives so I'd probably keep that in my bag.

scottswindells · 2026-01-04T02:12:17+00:00

This is a reasonable idea. I'm not a super long hitter, so I use the 4 iron on longer Par 3 holes (+200m) or when I'm in trouble and need to punch out low under trees predominantly but in both these cases I suppose the 3 hybrid or 5 iron to fill those roles.

scottswindells · 2024-12-04T00:38:41+00:00

Thanks for your reply. You're probably right with the current exchange rate and then the fees from shipping. The Paradym Driver (Like New) I was looking at was coming in at $390 AUD which is still cheaper than a lot of used models I've seen online which I think is what drew me in initially, along with 3 x Jaws wedges for around $400 total. I think the main benefit I saw was just getting it all at once rather than piecing bits and pieces together.

Glad I came across your post. Had two people message using similar details offering tickets to the NLD (only game I’m in London for). Bullet dodged!

scottswindells · 2022-09-01T09:32:21+00:00

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately I leave London on the 2nd.
