Hi, I am around a 16 handicapper and only have 13 clubs, should i go with a 5-wood or another wedge (I currently use 52, 56)

Hi Marshall,First you should define what area of your game is lacking?
Do you need a shorter or more accurate tee shot, or help reaching par 5s in two? Or, do you have yardage gaps or difficultly in your short game?
I carry a 4 wood (instead of a 5 wood) which I use off the tee on shorter par 4s and sometimes off the fairway on par 5s. This fairway wood helps my game more than another short club. My current wedge setup (48, 52, 60) which solves most of my shots from 130 yards inward and I'm very confident with most yardages in that range.
If you have yardage gaps with your wedges or need help in the bunkers, you may be able to shave a few shots of your scores by adding a 60° wedge. Conversely if your wedge game is set, another fairway wood can help on the tight holes or long par 5s.Hope this helps.

Hi Marshall , i would look to adding a new rescue club rather than a 5 wood . The 910h have a
great range from 17' to 24' all fully adjustable by 2.25 ' ..
I'm a 12 handicap and get great pleasure from the control of my rescues , my 19' on A1 setting
gives me a comfortable 210 yards ..
Hope this helps ..

right now i have a 19 degree hybrid that consistanly goes around 210-215, should i get a 17, and then be set with my 14 clubs?

I would use a 5 wood or a 21-22 degree hybrid. I use my 5 wood just because I don't really like my 3-wood.
