Shankster Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Well, with the green light from the wife to get an entire new set… my mind has been wandering. The fact that I’ll be on the pacific coast, and likely playing in some wind, and on some links style courses I have a few ideas rolling through my head. It is quite possible that it will end up being totally different… and I will be working on lowering my ball flight along the way, and some more pitch and run style shots… which I’m terrible at. What do you think of Option 1 and 2…? yeah the 3 wood is missing, I hate them, the 14° hybrid should be more than enough. yes I’ll be getting fit for this set.

DStar Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) I'd go bag 2 but, maybe, a blended 223/225 iron set?
