Which club do you use the least and why?

Not sure that I have the right set up. But i have a 3i and a hybrid 19d i think, which gets very little use. But i was only carrying 13 clubs so it wasn't a problem.
Recently added a 52gw to bring me up to 14 clubs but still not totally happy with my play with it, but can see it being more in play as we get into the summer.
 
Probably 3w. And it's probably my favourite club to hit :(

Providing I'm driving ok, I only need it on the par 5 16th for my second shot.
 
Funily enough I was talking to my mate about this last night. We played a course yesterday (that we're joining today:)and i didn't use:

4i
5i
7i
9i
60* (I've actually taken this out the bag altogether now).
 
Just plotted my way round our course in my head and I didn't use the 8 or 9 iron once - shot level par too! :D

Does depend on the prevailing wind direction though as carry distances can make a big difference off the tee on all our longer holes.

Would say all things being equal the 60 deg would probably get used least over several rounds.
 
On current evidence its the Driver, at least until I get the new one (always the clubs fault lol), other than that I expect its one of my 5-7 irons especially in summer though they all get used most rounds, just depends on yardages and prevailing wind.
 
probably my 3 wood.
use driver off the tee most the time. find hybrids easier to hit from the fairway. 4-9 irons are used either from open play or off the tee (6 or 4 iron) and 7-9 iron from open play, PW/52 wedge from set distances, 56* out of the green sand traps or around the green with longer grass, putter (obvious!!)
 
For me it's my 8i - at least that's based on how clean the clubs are at the end of each round (my 8i is always spotless)!

I think it's because I'm normally short with my long irons, but close enough to PW or at worst 9i from then on.
 
The club I use the least is my 50* gap wedge without a doubt. I only use it for shots between 110-120 yards which is obviously a small yardage gap so it doesnt get pulled out too often.

Want to start using it for pitch shots under 100 yards but need to work out which distances its good for and get comfortable with it first.

Funny how many people have said their 60* wedge so far, I reckon its probably the club I use the most after my putter!
 
I use all my clubs but the 24*Fli-Hi probably gets used least. Only because I don't often have that shot left - although I may mess up and leave myself that yardage. In general though I'll use all the clubs at least once or twice during a round.
 
Not got one. I tend to use whatever is required to execute that particular shot. Granted I might not hit one particular club in a round but I'd rather have then all there in case I need it. In summer I tend to drop the 3 wood and have been using a LW but the results weren't encouraging last year to might have a rethink about what to do this year.
 
5 iron for me. I hit my 4 iron hybrid better than any club in my bag so on that sort of distance I reach for that instead
 
On any given day any of my irons might not get used depending on how I'm driving, wind, etc.

I think averaging it out over a period of time my LW would be the one that gets the call least often, as I only use it when I need that amount of loft to land the ball softly.
I might go 3 or 4 rounds without using it, but it's very handy to have when required.
