Most favourite and most used: 52 degree Gap Wedge. From the fairway at 120y, rough from about 100y, and great at splashing from tight packed sand, chipping from the collar, pitching from fluffy lies.
Least favourite: 5 wood. It's neither fish nor foul - not the distance of a 'real' wood, nor the accuracy of an iron so I replaced it with a hybrid club with a 2 iron loft. I realised that it just sat in my bag gathering dust so I flogged it on ebay.
I also agree with the idea that
clubs are just tools for the job and you shouldn't prefer one club over another, but often you have the option of using a range of
clubs for a shot and if that range includes your 'prefered' club then that's the one I'd use.
I'm not sure that I agree with the fitting theory that LowPost42 mentioned for a couple of reasons. Athletic positions vary depending on what you are going to do. More explosive power might mean that you hunker down a little, while better agility would require you to narrow your position and be more on your toes. This is true in any sport. Thus your ideal position would more likely be a series of ideal positions.
LP is too sharp a cookie not to have some truth in his post
but I also can't see how have a PW the same length of my 6 iron would give me better accuracy nor how a 3 iron with a 6 iron length shaft would generate the same head speed as a normal one.
