Today there are many choices in golfing equipment.

Many top pros have opted to carry utility woods and specialty irons these days. Years ago choices were limited to a #1, #3, #4, #5 wood, a putter and a set 3-pitching wedge and a sandwedge or possibly a #1 or #2 iron instead of a #4 or #5 wood (totaling the limit of 14).

When deciding what is best for you, the first step is determining the club combination that will work best for your game. For example, if you have difficulty hitting the #1, #2 and #3 iron, a seven wood could be the answer. The seven wood is easier to hit from the rough and generally gives the golfer more room for error due to its head design.

Several companies have developed a utility iron that has a large sole and allows the amateur golf to achieve a higher ball flight and more distance than a long iron.

If you are having trouble with the long irons a seven wood or utility iron might be the club you are missing.
