The 5 iron has long been a staple in golf bags — a workhorse for long approach shots, tight par 3s, and punch shots under tree limbs. But in the modern game, it’s become one of the most debated clubs in the set. Some players swear by it. Others swap it for a hybrid without…
The 54-degree wedge is one of the most versatile clubs in the bag — especially for golfers who carry three wedges and need a reliable tool for both full swings and finesse shots.
