You donāt need more shit Walter. The only time Iād tell you to carry a 3 wood is if you canāt hit driver. When I was a kid I couldnāt hit driver but could hit 3 wood past everyone so I used my 3 wood as my driver. Off the fairway I used my 5 wood. It was easier to hit off the grass than the 3 wood so most of the time it went further because it was solid.
Same holds true for todayā¦
If you hit the driver fine, dump the 3 wood, use your 5 wood off the fairway. Youāll be better off in the long run. 3 iron.. too hard to hit, just like the 3 wood thing. Just the 5 wood and 4 iron will be fine. If there is a big gap between the 5 wood and 4 iron where you think you need the 3 iron, just choke down on the 5 wood.
FYIā¦ if you end up ever looking at a hybrid, the hybrid number doesnāt always match up to the corresponding iron number. For instance the 3 hybrid will go further than a 3 iron. For me, there is a one number difference. A 4 hybrid would equal a 3 ironā¦
