4i for me. Can’t remember the last time I even tried to hit it. I can hit my 3W and 5i fine something about the 4 just kills me.

Lob wedge or 4 iron. But I don’t even hit the 4 anymore and use a 3 hybrid in its place

fricking Gap wedge. It's in my head but I hate hitting that sucker. Id rather hit 4i than a GW.

Driver.

I typically only gain about 20 yards if I hit it straight compared to my 3W.

3W I can hit the fairway 95% of the time and driver I slice like it's nobody's business. Most rounds I leave the driver in the bag. I only pull it out on the range or during scrambles now, if someone else already has one in the fairway just to get some work with it.

My third putter on the green.
But seriously, a choked down PW. I just can't commit to not a full swing.

My least favorite is a moving target. Some days I can smash my driver 280+ consistently straight and those days my short game usually sucks. When my drive sucks, I seem to find my iron game. The rare days I'm on in regulation, my putter falls apart.

18th hole I was shooting for my first 70's game ever the other day. Smashed my driver 300+ with roll down the middle. Second shot was an 8 iron to land on the green. Deep woods to the left so I lined up a little right and hit into sand and stupid me came out. Ended up with an 80 for the day. Par would have been 78 for me.

Use to be my 4 iron... then I got single length irons and took care of that fear.

Lately, it's been driver. Once my most accurate and now it's gone to shite.

Also, dont like the putter.

I've completely pulled my driver out of my bag so depending on how literal the interpretation of the question it may be disqualified.

As far as clubs that are still in my bag any iron longer than a 6I with the exception of my 4I. I have a lot more faith in my hybrids. The 4 is a specialty club. I only use it for punch shots out from under trees and shots around the green that I want to putt but don't like the amount of ground or the condition of the ground enough to actually use a putter. I will instead use the 4 with my putting stroke. It gives a little more umph when I need it and I can get the ball off the ground just enough to clear it over any questionable course conditions around the green.

So many people are so good with their hybrid but I am so inconsistent with mine. I snap hook or slice it.

All of them. Just ordered PXG 0211 using the Heroes discount. Got the free driver. I used the PXG fitting consultant. So I guess we'll see how that went. Lots of customization.

3 wood. I'm a 6-handicap, but I can't get a 3 wood in the air for anything. Rarely get it more than 30 feet in the air.

Damn baw, you stepping up the bag big time.

My least favorite is a toss up between the driver and 52• wedge.

I don't really hate any of my clubs. Just looking for something easier to hit. And the price is right.

A full lob wedge is an 85yd shot for me. When I have this distance, I typically have 3 outcomes and 2 of them are bad.

1. 85-95yd shot with a slight pull and a little juice-good
2. 150yd line drive scalded dog that gets about 5ft off the ground.-bad
3. 20yd chunk.-bad

If I'm not playing multiple times a week, I get more 2nd and 3rd results than the 1st.

My 3W is useless. I doubt I use it 3x a year.
