You've probably seen my thread about difficulties with long Par 3s and whether I might need a hybrid or two. Well, I finally looked closer at what I actually have in my bag and it turns out I was totally mistaken about my Adams Tight Lies. I thought what I had was a "Strong 3" (it is one of the early Fairway Woods I think), and I was playing it like it was a 3 wood. Well, it turns out it has NO number on it, just says "Tight Lies" and is actually 16 degrees! No WONDER there was such a gap between what I THOUGHT was my 3w and my driver! So anyhow, I thought maybe a good exercise would be to layout everything I have in my bag right now, and ask the community to help me find and fill the biggest gaps (especially in the longer yardage area!)
TM R9 Supertri 10.5 (I already LOVE this driver)
Adams Tight Lies 16* (I LOVE the way I can hit this in the fairway or light rough. Flies very nice and always seems to come through for me.)
Wilson Staff Fybrid 5W 18*
Wilson Di7 Irons 4I-GW
Dynacraft SW 55* (Made for me by my Grandpa, don't know much about it other than that it's rusty.)
Tour Edge Blade Putter
That's what I'm carrying right now. And I think now that I realized my ignorance, I can plainly see a big honking gap between my driver and everything else. I'd also like to try a hybrid or two to possibly replace my 4I at least. With any recommendations, keep in mind I'm learning, and I don't want to spend $200 on any one club. If I can get something a couple years old off Ebay or CL that will work (or here for that matter) that's what I'd prefer to do.
I'm also deliberately leaving my mistaken "WITB" sig for this post.
