So I am in a rather unique situation. Something I have not really dealt with in the past, but one that is causing me to have some fun choices. My bag and distances (measured via GPS & launch monitor on range). These are carry distances.
Metal Woods
Driver - 250+
Big Bertha 3 Wood - 230
Cleveland Mashie FW 5 wood - 210-215
Irons
5 Iron - 185
Right now I have a X2Hot 3 hybrid and I am hitting that about 210. My previous hybrid was 200 yards and this one ranges from 200-210 depending on if I step on it or not. So that leaves me questioning my setup.
230
215
205
185
Now I can take something off the 3 hybrid and have it go 195, but I am wondering if I am looking at this wrong and should remove the 5 wood and go with an X2Hot 4 hybrid to cover that 195 gap. That would leave me like this
230
205-210
195
185
Now it looks more consistent and more importantly in an area where I am more inclined to have the green light than having another fairway wood that I am not using as much since the 3 hybrid has given me more distance. The other option is changing the 3 hybrid to just a 4 hybrid and stepping on it when I need to or taking a bit off the 5 wood.
Im more or less thinking out loud here, but its an area I have been thinking a lot about recently and it came into play once today and I ended up choosing poorly.
