pretty confident with all of them at present, put a 3 wood on a (VERY) downwind 352 yard par 4 green yesterday
 
Depending on how far away I am from the green and depending on what's in front of me, I've used every club from Driver to LW to hit the green.

Out of trees on my last round I used my driver to keep the ball low, my round was blown in regards to a good score so I was trying different ways to attempt shots and the driver choked right down worked in keep the ball low and got me onto the green to within 15 feet.

But to answer the original question, I'm not that good (getting better) so from the fairway, with a 3 wood all the way to my 56 degree wedge it's hit and hope.
 
Like one or two others have said if the green is in range then I'm confident I'll hit it no matter what club I have in my hands, however confidence and ability are not quite the same, I'd be hoping following -

Driver or 3 wood - 10 - 20% of the time
3 & 4 irons - 15 - 25%
5,6 & 7 irons - 40 - 60%
8,9 & W - 70 - 80%
100 yards and under - 80 - 90%

Getting it on the green is one thing, getting close to the hole is another and my putting sucks at the moment :(
 
The way I played today I'd say my Putter - but only just.......

Normally I'd say any club - if it's in range I have to confident I can get there otherwise why am I going for it?
 
After reading that Walter Hagen reckoned that he hit only two perfect shots per round, I've been satisfied if:

2,3 & 4 iron - anywhere on the green
5,6 & 7 iron - correct half of the green
8,9 & wedges - correct quarter of the green

2,3 & 4 iron - in play
5,6 & 7 iron - somewhere near the dancefloor
8,9 & wedges - on the green

:mad:
 
I feel confident with any iron had a 230 yard 4 iron land 8 foot from their Wednesday night on our par 5 if they don't hit they don't hit nothing we can do
