- Sean124: “My 4-iron will remain in the 4-iron spot for the foreseeable future. It is one ‘size’ larger than the rest of the set.”
- Tupperwolf: “I had a G425 Crossover driving iron but just sold it and added a set blade because I’m dumb and a masochist.”
- eric61: “Titleist u505 22 degrees for me. It gives me forgiveness and launch characteristics that are comparable to a hybrid but is a straighter option off the tee. Not as good at blasting out of a terrible lie as a hybrid, but not bad, either. I’ve flipped back and forth in this spot so many times and have settled on this as the best compromise. (But I also have a Sim2 Rescue set to 23* and an old Adams Idea Pro 23* in the closet just in case I change my mind again…).”
- LeoLeo99: “That’s a tough spot. I’ve had 4i, 4h, 3h, driving iron, 7w all spend some time there. Right now, it’s literally vacant with only 13 clubs in the bag until I decide on what’s going there. Probably back to the 7w.”
- DCCarpenter: “I use a Wilson Staff Utility Iron in that spot, I have a 4-iron but it is on the bench until I get more consistent with it. Its very best shots are better off the deck than the utility iron, but the utility iron is more consistent and way better off the tee. I use it as my primary tee club on really windy days and as another option off the tee when the 3/5 wood aren’t working as I don’t bag a driver usually.”
