Re: Equip Bag flexibility

  I would like the ability to drop my 3 iron and add another lob wedge to my bag.  Irons can only be changed in a bag as a set. 

  In my instance my pitching wedge hits 112 yards.  I carry a 50 yrd and a 77 yrd lob wedge.  That leaves a huge 35 yard hole in my bag.  I'd much prefer to drop my 3 iron (which I rarely use) and add a 98 yrd wedge to my bag.

  Hey there Hercules2010. I agree with you. I would love to be able to drop one of my irons for a 4th wedge. But just not possible now unlees I drop an entirley different club. So hopefully WGT makes this possible in the future sometime. But in the mean time you could drop your hybrid in favor of the 98yd wedge. I have done this and it has helped me tremendously. Now my 3wood is rated at a distance of 235yds and my 3iron is rated at a distance of 210yds. So there is a little gap there but I haven't really run into a problem with my set up. I have all 3 wedges that you mentioned and they have helped me out many a jams. Hope this helps ya.

  Just drop the hybrid.

  After you get to be a better player and get better equipment, you will find that the hybrid is a pretty useless club.

  An opinion that is shared by some , but not by all.

  Thanks for the feedback.  I'll try dropping my hybrid but still wish the overall flexibility was there.

  Hi all at wgt design...

  
  

  In terms of equipment from my virtual bag. When I lose a ball or hit it out of bounds, I would like to go into my bag and take out one of the other balls I bought in the pro shop.

  Instead, if I'm out of that sleeve, I get handed (in Top Gear style) the crappy range ball as a back up. What's irritating is that I now have 12 almost used up single balls in my WGT closet back at the clubhouse.  

  I'm afraid of the thing running out during a game, and being lumbered with the WGT spinless wonder.....Can it be fixed? I'm sure there's room in our bags for all the balls we buy.

  ( I am sure I am not alone. That's my credits tied up into your game design guys)

  The "one ball rule" is used at WGT. Being the tournament committee , they have the right to impose this rule.

  I carry a hybrid on bethpage right now,  I would on kia and oakmont too if I could drop 3i in favor of it.
