I saw a post on the "easiest" bag change so it got me thinking:

Which club would be the most difficult to switch?


For me its my 2016 Callaway Apex 4H I bought used on a whim. I can hit that thing a wide variety of distances and shot shapes.
 
Putter, as there are some putters i simply wouldn't be able to use
 
It's irons for me...just getting used to if a ball flight looks a little different and adjusting to the carry distances and how they react on the greens

I don't think it takes a long time I just think out of the options it would be the longest and "most difficult" for me personally
 
The 4 hybrid spot. Whatever that longest club is that you are using to hit a distance, not necessarily longest off the deck.
 
Right now, probably putter.
 
Putter makes a ton of sense, but for me right now I think it would be the driver. I’ve got this one dialed in and I get along with it pretty well for the most part. I feel like the difference between a good fit and a bad fit are magnified here more than any other club.
 
Putter, mine is Lab CB and it’s en fuego.
 
Right now it's my LAB DF-3 putter.

Love it for all putts but especially those 4 footers that used to scare me
 
lob wedge
 
Three wood and putter.
 
For me I’d say my 60° as I play short game shots pretty consistently the same throughout and when the bounce and grind switch gotta relearn the swing a bit.

3 wood is one I didn't think I'd see here...just getting accustomed to how different ones launch and stuff?

Ya, I think drivers are pretty ubiquitous. Finding a three wood that has the right look, feel, launch characteristics is harder for me.

I hear that, makes sense...I've gone through a lot of them looking for every box to be checked
 
5w then putter.
Both have been in the bag since 21/22.
 
Putter. There’s simply some putters I can’t hit for my life. I feel like other clubs I adapt for the most part.
 
3 wood. If you find one you like. it may be best to not even look..
 
I think a wedge depending on bounce/grind it’s replaced with. Otherwise, might be something like a hybrid or FW.
 
Putter and driver are both in a dead heat for me. So many putters feel so different and the ball reacts off the face different depending on the style, so I'd lean that way if forced to choose.
 
Putter. I really really like my putter.
 
The simple answer would be putter. As much as I change irons you'd think it would be an issue but iron changes are the hardest for me to learn. This present set has put me through the paces.
 
As long as I could get the same shaft, there isn’t a club in my bag that I would have trouble switching assuming it was a similar style of club. My second set is all Titleist but the shafts are all the same and I could take them out and play at any time and feel comfortable.
 
Great comments. Especially all the ones regarding lob wedge! The more I think about it, if I were to go from low bounce to mid or high that would be trouble...

Shafts play a big part for me as well. Need the low spin in irons and low launch in the driver.
