Chippers are fun. If you at all struggle around the green, any maybe you don’t, it might be worth a go. They make straight forward chips so easy imho

 

[blugold]

A Quantum Triple Diamond 5w would fit real nice in that bag

 

[odshot68]

I've thought of Mini, 18 hybrid, 2 lob wedges 58, and 62?? But so unsure

 

[TWright]

What are you distances like? Any gaps you are looking to fill? Any shots that you don’t think you have on the course with your current 13?

No rule that says you have to have 14 if it adds more decision uncertainty into your round.

Definitely could use a more versatile LW, waiting to hit more grinds off grass to determine those 20-50 yard shots. No gaps between 4 hybrid (225 off deck, 235 off tee) to 54 degree wedge. I just picked up the 3 wood (added slightly more loft) and seeing 260 off tee, won't use much off the deck but thinking 240 but lower trajectory. Doubt a 2 hybrid gives me much better off the tee (and too low launching off deck to hit high shots into par 5s). Played the TM Mini last year and 43.25" and loved it with 3 wood length Tensei 1K Black 75S shaft but the head sat closed and once a round id hit a hook and hated seeing that. I had to be so careful off the tee with it.

My weakness is getting squirrely off the tee and shorter mini was great most of the time and really only saw 10-15 yards shorter.

i would love a tee ball that I could cut though...as I naturally hit a slight push draw with my clubs. Definitely a shot I don't have.

Cobra King Tec Mini Driver with the FF33 could be a good one to look at.

 

[odshot68]

Perhaps a mini that is very fade bias..not sure what that would be

Cobra King Tec Mini Driver with the FF33 could be a good one to look at.

I hit in Saturday and just never felt solid to me. It had a denali 70 black shaft in it but wasn't a fan. I know its getting rave reviews but the TM mini I could feel the ball compress at contact but head isn't open enough..if only i could find a TI one.

You could also find a fade biased driver head with a little loft and build it up short like a mini

 

[hedley_lamarr]

A 54 degree wedge would be a great place to look.

Ive considered a titlest 3 model head at 11 degrees with toe weight at 44.5"?? Just worry about swing weight

 

[odshot68]

The elyte mini had a toe weight that may work with shaft of choice...

Can always go lead tape to get it feeling right

 

[eddywhitaker]

do you feel like you are missing something?? you don't have to have 14 clubs..if you get around fine with just 13,,do that..could get a 14th for a specific purpose

 

[questkp]

what's the gap between 24 degree hybrid and 6 iron?

 

[Hawk]

what's the gap between 24 degree hybrid and 6 iron?

That's what I was thinking. There has to be a pretty sizable gap there.

 

[AuzzieMatt]

I have nothing to add except you're a +1, looks like you really don't need the 14th club.

 

[PhillyV]

If the gap between your 6i and 24° is manageable I would add a fade bias driver based on what you said you were looking for. Loft it up and cut it down a bit if you want

 

[odshot68]

what's the gap between 24 degree hybrid and 6 iron?

I carry my 6 iron 195 yards and the 24 hybrid is 210. No gap there.

 

[odshot68]

I don't hit high lofted fairway woods great (spin for me), although did play the UW for 2 years. I'm going to hopefully find a mini that carries 250 but with trajectory and consistency. Going to hit the Titleist Mini 280 this week (TM sits to closed, didn't like feel of Cobra , Callaway is too big) and hope that's the ticket. Running out of options and no access to the secret weapon. A tour issue TM R7 Quad at 13.5 I would be excited about...

I don't want to go down this rabbit hole of SW and such, hoping to find a mini to do this with.

I would put something in between the 24°, and your 6 iron.. I'm sure you have a pretty good loft gap, to say nothing of distance?? If you are all good with your set-up, play on...
