When thinking about how many and what type of golf clubs you should be playing, focus on playable trajectories and functional yardage gaps. You want a least a 10-yard gap in carry distance between each of your clubs, and you want to achieve a playable trajectory with as many clubs as possible. Because of the head design and shaft length, you’ll typically hit the ball higher and farther with a hybrid than you would with an identically lofted iron. Similarly, you’ll typically hit the ball higher and farther with a fairway metal than you would with an identically lofted hybrid. With that basic understanding, you can begin to assemble a functional set of golf clubs. When you are unable to achieve a playable trajectory with an iron, you should consider replacing it with a hybrid. Then you continue using hybrids until, again, you are unable to achieve a playable trajectory. At that point, you should consider replacing the hybrid with a similarly lofted fairway metal. To determine the head designs, lofts, and shaft lengths that would provide YOU with both playable trajectories and functional yardage gaps, you would need to work with a qualified fitter.
