What would be your fifteenth club?

[BubbaP]

....

Where the did 14 limit come from anyway? Without some players would need to caddies two carry all the stuff!

Eh?

 

[Ye Olde Boomer]

Eh?

I'm sure IanM meant having two caddies to carry all the stuff.
Would have been nice to stick a too in there as well.
While wearing a tutu while we're at it.

 

[patricks148]

if you were not playing in comps who would care anyway??

 

[clubchamp98]

A Chipper of course.!
Seriously I think 14 is to many.
I have been carrying half a set sometimes odd irons sometimes even irons.
Even suit the par 3s at the moment
I have played some really good golf because I have had to think and manufacture more shots.

If I had to.
a 1iron I think used to hit my Mizuno one really good, but that was 30yrs ago.

It would definitely be at the top of the bag, either a strong 13* 3w or a hybrid that could offer a similar distance, although I’m not very consistent with hybrids.

Not me, for sure; but I somehow doubt that mine is the prevalent opinion on this forum.

The new specialty driving irons are infinitely easier to hit than old blade 1-irons.

Some people started using a 1-iron for the first time when the Ping Eye 2 came out. They'd use the Ping 1-iron with their other brand clubs.
I did something similar with a Wilson 1200 Gear Effect 1-iron. It was much easier to launch than a butter-knife 1-iron.
Then came the specialty driving irons which were even less demanding.
I would say that the Mizuno Fli Hi led the way although a JDM model, the PRGE 200i, was quite hot for a while.

I've now got an Epon driving iron that I can launch even now as a decrepit fossil. It's an ugly line drive but it's straight, lands hot, and rolls.

 

[IanM]

Eh?

Oops. Tired eyes put a "to" where the "two" should have been...and vice versa.

Jokingly I meant they'd have so many clubs one caddy wouldn't manage!

No worries. I got you the first time, Ian.

 

[HarrogateHacker]

I only carry 13 clubs. 3 wood is the obvious gap in my bag if I were to go to 14

Yes I now have a ping G400 19*:crossover it’s a beast.

3-wood as alternate driver or 3-wood as long fairway club?
I find most new ones too strong-lofted for all but the most favorable fairway lies. As with the brassies of old, a little uphill lie works well.

I've heard good things as well.

A left handed 7i

That is exactly the what became my 14th club a couple of years ago after ending up against the wrong side of trees 4 times in 6 weeks. It was a fiver off ebay.

 

[Orikoru]

Given that I'm looking to add a driving iron before this summer, I'll say driving iron. In reality that will most likely replace the 3 wood though (provided I can find a DI I can hit...) - and really I think I'm covered and would never need 15 clubs. @SwingsitlikeHogan 's idea of shoving a lefty club in there is genius though.

Left handed club is all well and good until you try it. Haha

[Leftie]

Many years ago I used to carry a R/H 7 iron - mainly for the 2nd shot out of the bushes to the right of the 10th at High Elms (yeh. I know. How did I ever get to the right side of the fairway with my "fade"? 'tis the contours of that hole.) Now, if I'm going through one of my "power fade" patches, I'll put a 2 iron in the bag. Great for punching a low runner out of the trees on the left anywhere from 80 - 150 yds with a 30 yd right to left shape. Chip and no more than 2 putts and walk off with a 4 or at most a five.

 

[Leftie]

Just seen your videos Gary. Playing as leftie isn't as easy as some people think. We're at a constant disadvantage. Even worse when you are 100% right handed
