Slight shank Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) 5-gw set irons. Cleveland 52,56, and 60 sand wedges. I only carry the 60 in the summer though. Driver, 3 wood, and 4 hybrid + putter to round out the bag. When I get new wedges probably go 54, and 58 Edited December 15, 2023 by Slight shank Added pic Quote Driver- Sim2 max 5 wood- Sim max 20’ hybrid- epic flash irons- 5/gw Pxg 0211 r flex steel wedges -52,56 Cbx 2 black putter- Bettinardi queen bee6 Link to comment

Stiggy Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I carry 6-9 typically, I don’t hit long irons consistently so I tend to replace the 4 and 5 iron in my bag with a 22 and 25 degree hybrid Quote Link to comment
TR21X Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 6-GW wedges 54-58 so that is 7 irons. Decided a couple years ago to drop the 4-5 irons I can't hit them anyway and exchanged for 3 and 5 hybrid instead. Quote Link to comment
rkj427 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I use a total of 10 irons in the bag counting wedges. 4 - G and then a 54 & 58 degree wedge. Also carry driver, 3 wood, and 19 degree utility. I prefer long irons versus hybrids, the irons are easier for me to use on a much more consistent basis than the hybrids.

rjacobs4 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 WITB... 5-GW in my set irons. 52 lob wedge 58 sand wedge Driver 3 Wood 19 and 22 degree Hybrids. Putter Thinking about adding a 26 degree hybrid to the bag. If I do, I'll drop either the GW (I don't use it much) or the 5 iron. Just finding I hit my hybrids more consistently than my long ions.

MarvChamp Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I HAVE more irons (and other clubs) than I actually CARRY. Most of the time it's 6 iron through GW; 4 and 5 hybrids; a 5/7 adjustable fairway; driver, all in (very) senior flex. Often I will note that I actually use fewer irons than I carry. But, as said, I have enough for most of the dragons, bears and other wildlife I'm likely to encounter in my adventures. Best, -Marv Quote Link to comment

EnderinAZ Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I have 6 - PW 50 54 58 degree wedges. I also have my Driver and a 2, 3, and 4 hybrid and of course my putter. I don't carry the 3, 5, or 7 wood any more as I can pound the hybrids just about as far with a lot more accuracy. Though I do miss my 7 wood. Nothing in my bag can punch a hole in the sky Mr. 7 wood. But I use the alignment sticks that sit in that slot way more often than the 7 so it sits in an old bag in the garage.

Fatshot Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I carry five irons.....6-pw.....I have the 5 iron to my set, but haven't bothered to shaft it up yet (maybe a winter project...?). I carry a #5 hybrid that fills the distance gap between the 6 iron and the 9 wood, which is my next strongest club. At age 78, I'm learning that the hybrids or lofted woods are much easier to hit more consistently than the longer irons. As far as wedges, I carry three more.....a 49* gap, a 54* and a 58* which I use out of the sand.

ddelino Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I just started playing golf in September. My budget was pretty low, so I bought a Ram starter set that included 6-PW, a driver, a 3 wood, a 4 hybrid, and a putter. I picked up a SW from a thrift store. I assume it is 56 degree, but I’m not 100% sure. Dweed, Rob Person and Beakbryce 3 Quote ddelino Link to comment

SeniorGolfer Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I had a similar bag make up as you until I went for a Driver and Fairway fitting a year ago. The Ping fitter left my Driver (G425 Max 10.5 R, std lie) and replaced my 5 wood, 3 hybrid and 4 iron with a 3 wood (G425 SFT R @17.5, flat lie) and a 7 wood (G425 Max R @ 21.5, flat lie). My irons are now 5 to Gap plus 54 and 58 wedges. According to Trackman I have no gaps with this set up, so I only carry 13 clubs now. My scoring has improved with the new set. Interestingly, the new clubs did not increase my distance all that much, but I hit them much higher. This past summer I was fit for new irons and replaced my Ping i500’s with i230’s which, as with the woods, I don’t hit that much longer, but a lot higher.

Kenny B Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Stating what irons are in the bag is meaningless unless the lofts are included. Someone's 6i is likely the same loft as my 4i, and my 6i is the same as their 8i. But if all that is asked how many irons I carry, then I carry 7 irons.
