In our forums, our members have been discussing unorthodox bag setups. WRXer ‘FormerBigDaddy’ is currently using a 3-wood and a 19-degree rescue club and tells fellow members:
“Seems weird to me to only have a single club between driver and irons, but I almost never hit my 3 wood. I don’t have much confidence in it, and I really don’t need it at my home course. I think I can get what I want out of a 17 degree rescue and hit it out of multiple lies and play different shots with it.
“I’ve always loved hitting 3 iron off the tee when the shot calls for it. Hard to miss big with it. Anyone else have a bag setup like this? Are there any tour players doing this?”
And WRXers have been sharing their thoughts in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- hobbstc: “I do. I have a 19deg hybrid. Use it off the tee, fairway, and rough just fine. Very versatile.”
- uglande: “On windy days, I might go Driver-3W and then to my irons, which start at 2i and 4i. If what you’re adding is a 3i, you might consider something that’s more of a driving iron (or get a 2i) just to create some separation with your 4i.”
- nostatic: “Depends on the course. I could live without my 3W as I have a 3H the I hit well. That said, I have a new home course and last time I’ve played I hit 3W probably 3-5 times, all off the deck. Part of that was playing in 25 mph winds, though.”
- tatertot: “I go driver (250 yards), 15 degree 3 wood (230 yards) 19 degree 3 iron (210 yards).”
