In our forums, our members have been discussing their shortcomings. WRXer ‘Jjfcpa’ kicks off the thread explaining why his woods are an issue, saying
“I would consider my weakness to be woods. I only carry a 5w because I found that I can’t hit my 3w any further than my 5w, and I get better dispersion with the 5w. I probably need to get fit for a 3w to see if I can find something that will perform better, but as of right now, I just don’t take up a spot in my bag with a 3w.
It’s probably costing me when it comes to scoring because on long par 4’s or par 5’s I generally have to play for an up-and-down because I just can’t get on the green in regulation. I am playing from the right tee… only have this problem if the par 4 is over 380 and the par 5 is over 500.”
And our members have been sharing their weak spots and why they are having issues with those clubs specifically.
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.
- lefthack: “My driver for sure. It’s gotten fairly playable, but it still isn’t consistent, and there is little faith in it. I am keeping it in play more than not. But I have fairly reasonable faith in the rest of my bag.”
- Kmagnuss: “I agree with the lob wedge (60 degree) guys… Taking a full cut from that distance just has ‘skulled into the lake behind the green’ written all over it for me. I’ll choke down a SW, thank you.”
- 2ndCut16: “Lob wedge – 100% mental as well. On the range or in the SIM, I’m fine, but on the course, good chance I will duff or skull it. No other club do I struggle like that with.”
- AP76: “Most definitely 3 wood for me, which it’s why it’s been extracted and replaced with a 2 iron! Driver not exactly my friend either a lot of the time, so I tend to hit a lot of long irons off the tee.”
- Esox: “Driver is my weakness. Irons and wedges keep me in the hunt. Zipcores ( 50 & 54) are almost assured of an up and down from 110 in. Lob wedge (58 degree SM7) gets played only as needed, but we get along just fine. Still need a driver to love me as much as those zipcores do….. I am just too inconsistent with the big stick. It’s the golfer, not the club……”
