 I've actually put the club in the bag that I have never had in all the years I've been playing. This is such a huge change to my current setup. This is how I change my golf clubs to find more confidence in the most difficult part of the golf bag. If you find hitting anything longer than a five iron, a challenge then this video is certainly for you. The longer the shaft and the stronger the lofts is a combination that can result in problems for many golfers and if you don't make the right choices you're always going to struggle. Quite simply if you don't generate enough club head speed then you have an unavoidable problem and I have my own solution but it could also help you. So two new golf clubs have made their way into my bag but there is also the addition of a third which quite honestly I just didn't see coming. And the first new club that I've put in my bag I have never carried in all the years that I've played golf. How good is that? I don't think I've ever hit three continually three shots as good off that tee and all of them did something different. So the first new club in my bag is in fact a forward. Never had one before and why is it included now? Well for a long time now I've been suggesting that most average golfers drop a three wood out of their bag. Strong lofted, long shaft, limited use in terms of flexibility on a golf course and quite often they become a cobweb collector. Now I swapped into a five wood but that also presented me with a few problems which the forward resolves. So the question really was could I find a club that had enough loft on it that would give me confidence to play from the fairway, from the roof and from the tee that produced better performance than a five wood and the answer was a forward. Now forward is lofted at 17 degrees it's adjustable so I can do things with it anyway but that one degree of difference between that and the sort of standard five wood meant a huge difference because it gave me just a much more penetrating ball flight off the tee which perhaps I didn't get with the five. It's only a minor tweak and a minor difference but it sits really nice as a secondary club if I'm not playing too good with driver off the tee then I've got an option that I can go to that would normally be for a lot of golfers a three wood but then that's it whereas with this as you can see I can play it off a tight lie on the fairway and I can still play it from the roof as well so it doesn't become another cobweb, cobweb collector. So that's the explanation for a forward fairly simple and now a four hybrid another club that hasn't made it into my bag before and why did they go with that? Well quite simply the longest iron in my bag currently is a five iron why is that well that's important as well and simply a what I was finding from Trackman numbers is a six, a five and a four iron but almost traveling the same distance and that's due to very similar clubbed speed to me not generating enough to get that ball launching with those stronger lofts so I moved into a four hybrid it's got plenty of loft what you've seen so far as it pops the ball up very nice indeed it's very easy to play so it's an obvious choice to make the game a whole lot easier it's as simple as that stop at five iron I'm comfortable there four iron no longer needed let's get straight into a four hybrid it plugs a gap yardage wise but it also stacks loads of possibilities and versatility in a bag because that's the key factor in this video it's all about making a game a little bit easier and putting a bag together that works for you but there was one club that made it into my bag it defied all logic it came as a huge shock to me and likely to you as well now there's many reasons to why this came as a shock to me first of all it's strong lofted it's a strong lofted iron and I first of all didn't think I would be able to generate the clubbed speed to make this thing work it is in fact a new drive-in iron from PXG 18 degrees is that loft it's an absolute rocket launcher it's phone-filled hollow bodied forged iron very much like the rest of the setup and as you can see there's a bit of meat on that sole and all-round it's a type of club that I like to use but all that I have tried in the past I've struggled with a little bit inconsistencies this thing is very different and it fits perfectly in my bag I should leave that camera on you know I never seem to miss a port when it's on the driving iron is clearly not for everybody and I think that's important to note but it's important to get your bag and a whole message of this video is get the bag that works for you and what this club does for me is it fits a gap in the bag that can become very sort of cluttered and confused it's mainly to do with the ball flight and the spin and it gives me a lot of options when I'm playing either from the tee or from the fairway and it's not something that I currently have covered right we're taking a bit of a quick cover under the brawly what I want to talk you about is why I've got three clubs in the bag and well maybe two do very very similar things in terms of the distance they carry but are in the bag for very different reasons first of all the forward travel the longest as you can see on this fairway if it was during the summer that would bound on and that gap would become longer between the three tee shots but the other two are the ones of interest they've got a four hybrid which essentially carries the same distance almost as the driving iron but they carry there in a very different way the four hybrid is a much higher launching ball it'll have greater spin and when playing downwind in this situation it's perfectly fine the driving iron on the other hand is a much lower ball flight as you can see lower spinning model and where that becomes different certainly playing links golf and why it's in the bag right now is if that wind is against us then I've got an option to play and that's a much lower flighted ball than that of the four hybrid so it's important that you've got clubs in your bag for logical reasons and that essentially is why two clubs carry the same distance but do things very very different indeed so although these three clubs all work for me in terms of yardages and carry distances there's one key other elements that you cannot forget and that's confidence because if you step on the tee and the club you have an an petrified you when it's time to stick that one on eBay that confidence thing is absolutely huge and surprisingly I'm loving this thing and really haven't missed a fair way today the point is this very simply if you've got clubs in the bag that only work say one in five times then that really does defy logic you've got to pick clubs that work for you and not against you and I'm comfortable with the changes that I've made our three additions which I really am first of all very confident with and after that it's all down to your own personal performance and seeing what you can get out on today's been a good day anyway thanks for watching thanks to Walsy Golf Club for having us it started off pretty grim it's finished off not too bad and we've ended up with one down the middle on the 18th see you next week
