I cannot consistently hit a 60 degree lob wedge...so I chunked mine several years ago.

(We have fluffy sand here and half-buried lies from deep bunkers are common, so I need a SW with all of the lift and power I can get).
On the other hand, we have some reachable par 5's - so I tend to go with four woods and terminate my irons at 4. I chunked the 3 iron several years ago too.
I still love my new r7 and love my Sonartec 14* SS-03. I also like my TM Rescue mid 22 with the Aldila shaft.
My current dilemma is whether to switch out my Sonartec 19* for a 16* TM Rescue Mid. I could get more height and holding power out of the hybrid from a distance of about 225. Additionally, we have one par 3 which is uphill 225 when played from the tips. Although I don't play back often, when I do, this would be the ideal club for this shot.
I have learned to play a variety of shots with my Cleveland 54 and don't feel compromised by not having the 4th wedge in the bag. I too think this is a trend as the hybrids are so versatile in so many situations... |

Playing Links golf means that the couse is rarely set up the same way twice. Sure there are holes when you will hit certain clubs but not to specific yardages, just for placement. I don't have a hole that requires a 7 wood shot, as one day it may be a 6 iron, the next a driver!!
