Bridgestone JGR 9.5 Degree; Graphite Design Tour AD DI-6x  When I'm off, I can shank a 7 iron into the woods; but when I'm playing well, I can hit this JGR into a 55 gallon drum 265 yards away.  LOVE that thing, even if GolfSpyX hates it! :lol:

It really depends on the day and the situation for me. I'll go with the hot hand if I'm hitting something particularly good that day. Generally, I would say it's my 3w, 1i, 3i but some days it could be the driver. It really just depends. 

 

My biggest thing is that I must commit to the shot if its one that matters. If I don't, then I'm toast. 

 

I am very much the same. Usually my go to would be the 3 wood. But I will hit the driver if I had been swinging it well all day

If I have to get in a fairway then I would say sand wedge. I'm almost never in the fairway. I'm like Phil without the wedge game.

I'm prob 50% fairways. Sometimes depends on the rough it seems easier to get the ball up from there. I know it's going to give me less spin, but a nice short muni rough is super easy to hit from. To answer the question. I'm a driver guy all the way! GRIP IT AND RIP IT BABY!!

Wow... nice... not many people can hit a 4 iron after warmup and you do it cold, straight out of the car. Cool.

Thanks! Irons are one of my stronger areas.... the putter, however, is definitely needing a LOT of work!

Driver, set up for a 5-7 yard fade if there is room off the tee. Pick your shot you can hit in those pressure moments. You'll probably find it becomes your go to. I hit a 2 yard draw to 5 yard fade with the driver. If I know I have to hit a draw I will pull 3 wood (TS) I don't lose much distance with it set to 13.5°. Need a long runner I will pull the 2 iron.

 

I was working on hitting draws with everything but I am way more consistent hitting my go to, little power fades.

Driver and it's not even close. Its the most technologically advanced club in my bag and very easily the most accurate long club that I have.

 

The only way I'm not hitting driver is if there is a penalty risk at the spot it will roll out to.

 

The guys on tour and I don't play the same game.

... The King Utility 19* is my go to club, both off the tee and from the fairway for 2nd shots on par 5's. Mine is 39.75" long with a Rogue Black 85hy shaft and might be the most accurate club I have ever used off the tee.

My 585.H 17° hybrid / Diamana Thump X has been a go-to club in my bag for a long time.  When it absolutely, positively, has to be in the fairway...

 

And, like an idiot, I'm trying to find something better to replace it.
