What is your favourite club in the bag?

[mizuno_lover]

Hope this topic hasn't been done recently if it has apologies men.  I guess we all have that favourite club in the bag.  Is it a go to pull you out of trouble club, or perhaps that iron that as soon as you pull it out of the bag you just know you are going to nail it.  Is it that 50 something degree gap wedge that you can hit anywhere from 75 yards to 120 yards depending on how long or hard you swing it and you can stop it on a dime.  Perhaps a hybrid that doubles as a rescue and fairway wood and you can hit it long off the tee as well?

 

My favourite club changes from time to time, but at the moment it is my 52 degree gap wedge.  I can hit that baby comfortably and accurately any where from 80 yards to about 110 yards.  I have to really jump on it to hit 110 but she'll do it.  It is a Mizuno MP T4 model with quad cut grooves whatever that means.  It really puts some action on the ball and I've hit shots past the flag with it and had them back up hard.  It'll also do the high soft landing with a gentle release up to the hole.  My favourite shot with it at the moment is an 85 yard half swing that flies with a mid trajectory bites and releases. 

 

Our ninth hole is a par five with an elevated green that was redone and opened for play in February.  It is pretty hard and requires a high soft approach to stop the ball on it or a hard spinning fizzer.  I watched one of my playing partners hit the green today and the ball pitched released and it ran off the back leaving him a difficult pitch.  I had 106  yards to the flag and settled on my gap wedge.  I threw it up high and it pitched about 7 yards/paces short and bounced twice and hit the pin stopping 4 ft past the hole for a solid birdie to finish the nine.  Having the confidence to pick that club and know I could pull it off makes all the difference and make it my favourite club in the bag at the moment   What's yours?

If I'm hitting them well, they're all my favourite except the 3 wood. I hate that thing with a passion and only use it off the tee if I have to.

 

If I really had to choose just one, I'd say my 6 iron. Dunno why, but I just like the club.

[jdiddyesquire]

Good question. Probably my 50* MP-T4. Oddly I can hit well anywhere from 80-140. I have a much better feel with it for half shots than my 56* or 60*, which if I try to half shot them only go 20 yards.

[apprenti23]

I am definitely an equal opportunity club ho; however, I like them all about the same. Any can be replaced or broken in a second. I definitely don't love one club more than another, but there are times where I hate my driver or putter and wish they'd break haha

 

I do prefer certain yardages over the next- I would much rather have 115-130 yards over 75-90. 90-115 yards is fine, not a huge fan of anything less than 75. I also prefer the look standing on the tee of a dogleg right over that of a dog leg left and even over a straight away tee shot.

[RookieBlue7]

Favorite club? 6 iron, if I'm playing poorly I still always hit my 6 iron well.

[mizuno_lover]

Jdiddy it is a weird thing, I am the same with half shots with my 56 or 60 yet with the 52 Mizuno bang right on every time!  In fact I have taken my 56 out of the bag and use my 60 from the sand and put a 3 hybrid in instead. Go figure.

[Kanoito]

My MP59 4-iron

Incomparable satisfaction when struck properly!

[Bogey in The Woods]

Gotta say it's my Three Wood or my 7 iron. I almost always know what i can and cant do with them.

Actually I don't recall doing this thread before.  We've done what club would you grab to ward off an intruder in the house.  That was a while ago and I was thinking of bringing it back.

 

In regards to this thread none comes to mind at this moment.

 

Normally it would be driver and when it's not I have issues.  So since it's none you know I have issues.

[kfilly20]

Was my 56 Vokey until I got the MAck Daddy 2 PM grind 60. Anywhere inside 80 yards its the club I'm using. Love it and have only had it a week. My driver was up there until I developed a case of the snap hooks the last 2 rounds.

I got my father one of those PM grind 60's and he absolutely loves it- just ordered the 56* for him as well and the darn thing said backordered for 3-4 weeks! 

[Fireinthehole]

Now that I got my new Scotty monterey California mist, it's the jewel of my eye!

 

A club I have to hit and gets me out of trouble is this mizuno fli hi 2 iron. 260s of the tee and punch shots are so easy with this bad boy!

Took me nearly 2 weeks to get the 60 into my possession. The 56 is next, I guess I better order now if I want it here by the end of the summer.

[Maverickping]

My LW.

[Kenny B]

Putter...  it can make up for a lot of my mistakes.

[wbealsd]

For the past month, I've got to go with my putter.

 

It's been making up for some crummy chips

[GolfSpy Barbajo]

Right now it's a tossup between the FG Tour TC 60" lob wedge or the FG Tour V4 #4 Utility iron. I'm enjoying them both immensely   

[RookieBlue7]

That's why I didn't order. Just picked up a stock one in a store and swapped the shafts out... Among other things

Can't wait to see those bad boys!

[Jmikecpa]

None of them, I hate them all equally. If they get to cozy in the bag they get lazy and underperform.

[Kor.A.Door]

Since my long game can make or break the game for me, it has to be the 5 wood, I have really good confidence that if I pull it I will hit a good shot. The only problem is that when I play from our normal 6500 yards, I can't use it all that often from the tee.

[jaxbeachpackerfan]

Used to be my 8 iron, then my 5 wood.  Now its my Renegar 60 deg wedge (after I stopped trying to use it as a sand wedge.  Its been golden for anything inside of 50 yds (except, of course, I don't use it for bump and runs).  Never had such a comfortable and reliable short game club before.  That being said, I never use it for a full shot.  Use exclusively 3/4, 1/2 or whatever shots inside of 100 yds.  Just works much more consistently for me.  

[sp0rtsfan86]

got to go with 8 iron. I can hit it low under brush if I'm stuck behind trouble, can get it out there 150 yards to a pin, or if I'm playing conservatively I can bang out a 175 yard shot. It's the most versatile and I have used it to chip with some good results.

[revkev]

@JacksonvilleBeach do you want a 58 before I send it back?

[DaveP043]

Titleist 910 D2, I hit it solid and I hit fairways.  That makes the rest of the game a whole lot easier.

[mizuno_lover]

Didn't like the Renegar after all Rev?

Not warming up to it. I will give it one more shot, three strikes you're out. Actually it's very good out of our thick bermuda, better than my SCOR 60 there. But I'm better at every other facet with the SCOR and I'm actually much better on full shots including longer with the 60 than the 58. The entire idea with a switch like this would be to lessen a gap not widen it.

[fozcycle]

Gotta be my 57* SCOR wedge.......I love it when I can put a full swing on it and watch it fly high and land softly on the green 60-70 yards away.

[Fireinthehole]

Amazing how you can fall in love with a new club so fast but my 3 wood saved me on my consecutive 18 for the day. Couldn't hit driver second 18 but sent that 3 wood 290+ off the tee and 270is off the turf today. Update to follow.

this is the big bertha fairway wood with a fubuki z stiff flex that I just picked up
