Lob wedge, aiming for it land just short, one hop and then stop next to the hole (or just trickle in for a well deserved birdie).

I'd go with a half PW then probs hits it over the flag and then wish that I'd buy a gap wedge to hand these type shots.

As I'd duffed my second, I'd walk towards the ball with the same club in my hand, and duff the third either on to the green or miles beyond it.

56, Half a swing, land it as near as I can and hope for some purchase!

Dependent upon how i feel and how i visualise it there and then either a texas wedge or 8 iron chip and get it rolling .

If the ball is lying on a lush bit of turf I might hit a sand wedge but, nine times out of ten, I'll chip and run with a 6i - it's lower risk for me.

25○ hybrid.
Grip right down and swing very stiff wristed.works for me but not pretty to watch.
Bob, in reply to your question in 15 , I do not have the skill required to land it on the green now the course is drier.
To each their own !!

I can't answer the original question because "it depends" based on my lie, the slopes on the green and - to a degree - the wind.
It would definitely be one of 50/54/60 depending on which one I thought would roll out the right amount from the landing spot I'd picked, which would have as much level ground around it as possible and would definitely be on the green.

If I had just duffed one I would be looking to a club that reduced the risk of a similar shot. Probably an 8 iron bunt.

Depends what my second shot had been.
If it had been an 70 yard wedge shot were I'd been trying to fly it to the pin then I'd probably take PW or 9i, narrower stance, ball back and half swing landing short and running out.
If my second had been a duffed mid iron then I'd probably pull a 56* and try to fly it with a 3/4 swing.

3/4 sw, making sure I accelerate into the back of the ball, i.e. commit to the shot. Doesn't matter what the last shot was, duffed or otherwise, I can only do something about what is in front of me.

strange than some people who claim to have less skill than others choose to play this shot with a 25 degree hybrid.
I would find it extremely difficult, to control distance and direction with a face such as a hybrid. It has a bulge and roll face and are usually extremely hot. Factor in the long shaft.
If you can play this well, give yourself a break. You have more skill than you give yourself credit for.
Do yourself a favour and learn to hit a short iron. With all that loft you will find it isn't really all that difficult.

52 degree wedge knifed to and through the back of the green, 60 degree wedge and flop it back on, miss the essential single putt required so pick the ball up and throw it in the woods, kick the bag and swear at the laughing squirrels

The original question is pretty much my standard third shot. Chip & run with a 9 iron, using a 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock swing. Leaves a 2 to 3 ft putt for par. (Sometimes

1. Check nobody is looking.
2. Deft Leather Wedge into the green.
3. Loudly proclaim surprise that shot no 2 went further than you thought / exclamation about how baked the fairway is

I would recall the time I used to hit my 52* about 105, take a steady smooth half swing making sure I leave my weight on my back foot, flick the wrists to try and get the club to the ball adding loads of dynamic loft. This would launch the ball on a 64* wedge flight shape, the next shot would be a bump and run with a PW.
