Driver (obviously) : Hit it more than anything that isn't my putter. Typically a Mid flight draw about 285 carry. I also will tee it down 40% and hit a low runner cut (like literally 5* launch) when I have to hit a fade. 

 

7 wood : This (or 4i) is my lay up club off the tee when driver is too much. I can hit a high fade out of it and land it soft 220. Or I can hit a big draw and get 260 out of it sometimes. 

 

58* lob: 100 yds and in club. I like to get as close to the green as I can - I don't lay up to 100 yards like a lot of guys do. the strength of my game is those feel shots from 30-90 yards with a lob wedge. I love to play my wedges low with spin

 

7iron: Average par 3 around here is probably 170-200 yards. In that yardage I'm going to hit more 7's than anything. 7 is also my go to range iron when I'm working on swing changes.

Driver by far most reliable.  

 

Confident with 47* wedge in hand from pretty much anywhere 130 in...

 

And I reach for my 4i over woods on long par 5...layup more likely to be where I want it with 4i in hand.

Stealth 4wood (or 3HL if you're Taylormade's marketing department) - this club comes out on almost every par 5 and is incredibly easy to hit. Alone has helped me conquer my least favourite hole at my home course (long par 5 with a tricky tee shot)

 

50* CBX Zipcore wedge - if they made a wedge any easier to hit and dial in distances, it would be taking the shot itself.

My W/S FG17 irons. They seem to always find their way back into the bag. They’re super reliable and I know what I’ll get when they’re in the bag. Recently switched to the Staff mb with graphite so we shall see. I’ve got more in the grips on the 17s than I paid for the irons too. They could use a fresh set but I’m afraid of them losing their mojo!

3 hybrid off the tee is money. When the range finder kicks back a number that says 7 iron I’m also super happy, but I love hitting pretty much any of my irons. I’ve turned to hitting more of a bump and run style pitch shot around the green using a 50* wedge and sticking one close to the pin with that is always a nice feeling.

My SM9 54D, played the SM8 last season. I use this for virtually every shot from 25-105 yards unless I need a different flight window. This one is always my go to though. I’m just incredibly comfortable with manipulating the flight to get the desired result with it.

I wish I could say Driver, but I'm not consistent enough with it, though when it is "on" there is no better work horse in the bag.

 

I find a lot of comfort in hitting layup shots with my 6i.  6i also seems to be a go-to recovery shot club for me.

 

54 is my scoring weapon, gets the majority of work from 100 yards and in.  Probably gets used more than any other club aside from putter.

Finally found the SIM 3w to replace my TEE CB-1, and it's been getting a lot of action off the tee where a steady draw keeps me short of trouble on par 4s. I can also hit two 3w on dogleg par 5s more comfortably than shaping a driver and long irons.

 

Hybrid has been put in play more than 5w & 2i this year. Even using it over a 4i as it's not only safe, but gives me shot making versatility. With all the rain we've had this year, the rough is deep and lush with the fairways not being much less juicy.

 

Ping Glide Forged Pro 54 & 60 are already getting wear marks on the sole. I had to retire the T20 as they were needing lead tape to get back some weight. I didn't realise how many wedges I hit in a round until using Arccos recently.

Been using a tour edge hotlaunch 6 iron as my rescue club , in the woods , uneven lie, chip shot layup 130 to a creek on a par 5 are all shots I play with it. 
 

Par 3 tee shots. On nothing else is working , I want to throw my clubs in

a bunker days it can come out for just about every shot. 
 

I use it as a 5 or 6 hybrid basically, don’t have any of the other Hotlaunch irons. Would use it for more bump and runs or shorter chips but the face is just a bit too hot.

My 3 hybrid and my sand wedge and my 9 iron. This season, my 3 wood started to join the mix. 🙂

 

I would add the driver if not for my hoeing every season. lol 

I know you said not to include the putter but since going back to Evnroll ER2, I have converted a lot of short putts once again.
