Yes! I believe you should have the right tool for the specific job at hand…!
I’ve been through a few different club fittings, so I feel I understand the process and the goals of a good fitting - but I also very much like to test & experiment to find what works best for me.
My swing, and my golf game, are evolving so I know there will be further changes down the road … but unused clubs don’t sit in the bag (and don’t go to the course).
Two specific club notes (important - average recreational hacker talking here):
-
I don’t carry a driver - I still can’t hit one well, nor anywhere near consistent enough to warrant using on the course. Yet!
-
I recently changed my wedge setup from three “premium” matched blade wedges to…
… Gap = part of my GI iron set;
… SW = CBX2;
… LW = older, very wide-soled blade, ie. “specialty”, wedge (this is one of my least used clubs, but when I need it…)
I did not consider distance gapping at all, only what gives me confidence and what helps me execute the shots I want to hit
