  wgt could be doing with a legend+ level club to go between the 225yd 3 iron and the 250yd 3w, something with legend+ level attributes/stats and height

  something like a 235yd hybrid/rescue/5w or even a legend+ Level 235yd 3w

  if there were such a creature you would need to pull one of your wedges out of the bag

   

  if you hit your 3 iron with no spin you can get up to 240 yrds, provided the elevation is relatively flat

  two wedges is enough to win on wgt at a legend+ level

  yeah thats true but a 235yd club goes around 258yds off the tee and around 240yd from the fairway, my guess it would be useful in the game

  The level 41 R15 3w is 232yd and would be perfect if the attributes/stats and trajectory would be improved to Legend+ level, the trajectory is pretty low compared to my 3 iron

  I'm not a Legend yet, but what's wrong with the Ping level 81, G25-3 Fairway wood. It hits a true 240 from the fairway and punches 225?

  it doesn't rally fill the gap between 225yd and 250yd, a 232-235yd club in my opinion would work best in wgt, maybe some day we will see it, the hybrid has went from 225yd to 227yd in a few years so maybe in another few years the hybrid will be in the 230yd range

  Personally, I don't see where there's a need for one. But I have to ask: what do you mean by "legend+ level club"? I don't understand what you mean by that or legend+ level attributes.

  Choking down a bit on the 250 yard 3w would accomplish the same thing, or am I missing something here?

  Maybe it wasn't the best idea on your part to buy the latest.  What was your 3w before your current one.  250 med/high is not the best I would think.  Try choking it around 93-94% for the distances you stated 232-235.  I still have my 240 high R11 3w, sounds about in the area you are talking.

  The 3w you have is a 4.2 meter speed.  Max has a 4.5 but high.  Maybe you really need to take a better wander around the pro shop, instead of all the complaining and suggestions that you post in the forums.

  And yes, I also am curious as to what you are calling legend+ clubs. Also, look to all the top players and you won't find a hybrid in any of their bags.  Most figured out long ago, it was a useless club.  Maybe it might hit out of the rough better then a punched/full iron or 3w, depends.  Best to learn how to stay out of the rough.
