Three decisions shape most bags
Top of the bag
01| 01 | Driver | Tee |
|---|---|---|
| 02 | 3 wood | Tight lies · lower launch |
| 03 | 5 wood | Fairway · easier launch |
| 04 | 4 hybrid | Rough · steeper landing |
Choose by launch, lie and role — not just the number stamped underneath.
Iron transition
02| 04 | 4 iron | Not confident |
|---|---|---|
| 04 | 4 hybrid | Higher launch |
Your longest iron should be the longest one you strike confidently, not simply the one supplied with the set.
Wedge spacing
03| 10 | Pitching wedge | 43° |
|---|---|---|
| 11 | Gap / approach | 48° |
| 12 | Sand wedge | 54° |
| 13 | Lob wedge | 58° |
Check the pitching-wedge loft first, then build useful spacing below it.
