  Of course, if you have a better putter, use it! Like on the real course, the subjective impression counts.

  snikern:

  I haven't really used the 3 wood so much yet, because i feel its the putting i need to improve the most. So i play mostly short courses like St. Andrews, and there i not need a better 3 wood. Its the same thing with the hybrid. I do not really need it. Wedges on the other hand is something i use a lot at this time. I'm sure i could choose better, or smarter, but i'm gonna wait til i get a few more levels up before i'm gonna see what i should do about my wedges. Luckily they are not so expensive as the other clubs..:)

  My hints aimed to an investigation rather than a new buy. Check out how you can use your present clubs in the best manner: Are there clubs doubling up in nominal length? Are there big gaps?

  There are a lot of high level players using lower level clubs and they play very well.

  Learn the clubs you have and what every shot does, IE; punch flop ect. then when you really need better clubs you will know how the different shots work. Good Luck.

  Another good advice from you. 

  I'll check out further more what kind of a setup i should go for. I haven't really chosen well enough when i started to buy my wedges 

  Pwg: 110 yrds. 
  52W: 105 yrds.
  56W: 90 yrds.
  60W: 60 yrds.

  I was thinking about to switch my 52W 105 yrds with a wedge that is 75 yrds. I do not really need the 105 yrds when the Pwg is 110. If i do so i would have even gaps between them. 

  I was also thinking about: 50 yrds, 70, yrds, 90, yrds on my wedges, but then i have to get two new wedges instead of one:(

  But i'm gonna read a lot on the forums. Its a lot of great threads with useful information here thanks to a brilliant community with a lot of nice people:)  

  Thanks for good advice, and i hope other rookies will read this and learn a few things too:)

  Add the "punch" numbers which are most valuable between the wedges!

  Mine are 110+94 (G20 PW), 98+80, 77+63, 50+41. The spacing and the necessity of three wedges depend largely on the iron set's PW.

  I'm quite sure that you don't need a 75 yds wedge for now. Perhaps you can rather drop the 105 for a hybrid if necessary. Alas, keep it for further use (e.g. in CTTHs). You might post the nominal lengths + punch lengths of your driver, 3WD and 3i for further discussion.
