  I know this has been suggested before.  Substituting another wedge for the pitching wedge.  How about it.  Could we get it on the to-do list.

  Inf- Take a look at the coverage you get with both your 3w and your hb. Do you really need both? Dropping one of them frees up a slot for another wedge.

  I like to carry 4 wedges plus the pw in the set at Kia and swap one of the wedges for the hb at BPB. The key is how often you need a long wood/hb for your second shot vs how often you would use that 3rd wedge. JMO

  Yes I do need both.  The 3w is rated at 230 yrds, the hybrid at 200 yrds. The wedge I had in mind for the pitching wedge is the Tour W 54° masters rated at 105 yards.

  Secondly one of the reason I like carrying the 21° Rapture Hybrid is its trajectory.    It has a nice high trajectory.  Also it can be used on various par threes under various wind conditions.

  i would love to leave out my 3 iron (200)  i have a hybrid to cover that at 210 and carry an extra wedge but i'm not permitted too. you can only change certain clubs, please let use mix and match the clubs we want. under the rules of golf you can only carry a certain number of clubs it says nothing about they must all match.

  I also agree. A PW is a wedge and you ought to be able to substitute a better wedge if you feel the need. Can someone make this change?

  Infinito, have you tried the G10 Master 3 Hybrid 21° ?  I used to carry the 21° Rapture Hybrid like you (for BP #3 especially) but the G10 gives me 20 more yds and doesn't overlap my irons like the 21 Rapture does.  And its trajectory is rated High.
