If you could carry unlimited clubs...

[jamielaing]

What would you carry?

Purely out of curiosity as I buy a few new pieces. Would you carry every club available? Or would you stick to around 14?

I currently have-
Driver
2 Hybrid
3 Hybrid
4-PW
54
60
Putter

13 clubs total.

I have just swapped out my 4 wood for a 2 hybrid and I am looking at a strong 3 wood which makes up my 14. I think the only add in I could think of if I had unlimited clubs would be a gap wedge but don't think I would.

What would you add in?

 

[Rooter]

I carry 14 and i reckon thats probably too many giving too many options, I reckon it would be easier to carry 11.

driver
fairway
hybrid
5-9 iron
2 wedges
putter

I'm at 12 clubs just now and while there's another dozen or so in the house I cant think of any I'd want to add without taking something out as I'd just be doubling up on their functions

 

[chrisd]

I always carry 14 but I'd probably cover all bases and take out about 20!

 

[One Planer]

The 14 I currently carry :thup:

 

[Sharktooth]

Adding cheapo lob wedges to see how it went. It does help now I've found how to use them. 56 and a 60*. Might even upgrade.

 

[Ethan]

I don't think adding clubs helps most players. I use 14 but am considering going back to 13 by dropping the 60 degree. No desire to be able to carry 15 or 16.

 

[FairwayDodger]

I have 14 but would consider adding a lob wedge if I could.

Same for me I am considering dropping the lob wedge - certainly for non bounce rounds. For every glorious lob shot there are many more thins.

 

[la_lucha]

I carry Driver, 4-PW, 52degree and Putter. Just ten clubs and it's enough. 52 does anything 130 and in.

 

[garyinderry]

I would need two caddies

Home Course, could get away with 10 or 11, away courses always 14, just in case😃

 

[StrangelyBrown]

Probably the same 13 that I currently carry.

Driver
4 wood
3 hybrid
4-9 irons
PW, GW, SW
Putter

Adding more clubs won't make me score any lower.

I think that's part of the answer. It depends where you play. My locals have tallish mounds around the greens. Hence the lobs.

 

[Alex1975]

I would carry more hybrids and maybe two drivers, one shorter with more loft. Basically a 3 wood with a 460 head.

 

[road2ruin]

I spend enough on clubs without having the option to increase my bag size......

 

[Deleted member 1147]

I suppose you could make a bag up that fits every eventuality.

In the longer clubs you could have the low flying irons and high flying hybrids - for different amounts of roll, carry, into the wind or with wind behind.

With the wedges you could have more lofts and more bounce options for different ground conditions - wet, dry, bare, fluffy, deep rough, fairway. For bunkers: lots of sand, little sand, high lip, low lip etc

Different drivers like Lefty had at Augusta once - draw bias, fade bias and straight bias.

I know of people who considered 2 different putters at one time - belly for shorter putts and normal length for long range.

But I'd just get confused with all that and am happy to stick with 14 for now!

 

[KhalJimbo]

Currently I have 11.

Driver
Fairway
4 Hybrid
5 -PW
56° SW
Putter

Want to add a 60° Wedge, but if I'm honest I don't need one as my SW is never used for full shots (unless getting out of a bunker).

 

[Region3]

Over the last year or so I've switched about between 1 fairway + 3 wedges (4w, 52, 56, 60) and 2 fairways and 2 wedges (3w, 5w, 52, 58).

It would be nice to not have to decide between them.

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

I would carry more wedges, probably in 1 degree increments from 48 to 64 degrees so that I have the right club for every single yardage from 120 to greenside.

Don't want to be messing around having to be creative and using my imagination to manufacture shots
