I usually have 10 in the bag, 6 that is the usual golf ball I use and then roughly 4 that are random just incase. In the winter when I carry I will go as low as just carrying the 6 I use to save a little weight.
I think YouTube has helped me get a better understanding of why things happen, like the impact of slopes but I don't use it for my swing as everybody is different.
I have recently purchased the TSR2 3 wood and being the fairway finder is the exact role I use it for. I have found it great and also find it has good distance as well.
For me it has to be irons. I am still using my dads old irons and they are definitely the worst part of my game so will be looking for something with more forgiveness. I am also constantly looking at new putters.
Very interesting to have an opposing take. I guess its different for everybody. I also find the 4 iron invaluable for hitting it out from the trees. I used to have a 3 iron that I only used for that exact reason but I swapped it out for another wedge.
That's great to know. I also only really use the 3 wood off the tee. How do you find the 5 wood? The stopping power of a 7 wood on the green is a big selling point to me. Still carrying a 5 iron makes sense for those low shots under trees. Good to know you are never going back!
I also have a 3 wood which I mainly use off the tee but occassionally use off the deck. I think I am more likely to ditch the 4 iron for another hybrid instead of fairway wood but just see that so many people love their 7 wood.
If its light rough I tend to hit the hybrid over the irons anyway if its thicker rough I would go with a higher lofted iron. Have you seen the new Taylormade video with Tiger Woods explaining the punch shot out of the rough with a 5 wood? That would probably solve that issue.
