In our forums, our members have been discussing punch out options. WRXer ‘Seattlegolfnut’ is considering his best club when trapped in the trees and says:
“I have an open spot in my bag and can add another club. I think a punch out club could make the game a little more enjoyable for me and a little easier than trying to perfect the choke down forward press setup with a 4 iron.”
And our members 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.
- John76: “I use my 17 degree 5 wood. Normal grip, ball more to the center with less backswing. Works pretty well.”
- BallerNate: “I’ve always used my 3-iron, and now 4-iron as my punch out club and use a putter grip choked down. It’s a shot I’ve had to use more often than I’d like, and I am pretty confident in it. For me personally, I wouldn’t want to carry an extra club just for punch out situations, and I err on the side of carrying less clubs vs more.”
- MountainKing: “Take the 4 or 5 iron and play it almost like a chip shot. The ball will fly pretty far off of either club with minimal effort.”
- Habitual Flipper: “I use my driver often for this task. Takes a variable out of the equation as I know it’ll never go above knee height.”
- crazygolfnut: “I use my 3 wood almost all the time. Easy punch out between 100 and 170 yards depending on conditions.”
