If you are requesting relief from an obstruction, you should use a club that you would normally use for the shot in question. Firstly to show that relief is needed and secondly to confirm that the chosen spot provides the relief required. After that, I believe, you can use another club for the actual shot if it suits you.

When taking a one or two club drop, you can use any club in the bag or even another players' clu so long as that club does not provide you with an advantage. No need to use teh club you will use to play the shot. You will almost always see the pros using their driver but their is nothing to sop them using a long putter if they wish to.

The rules are not specific on this, but the decisions are.

If I am misinformed, please lead me to the actual rule/decision!
