Purchasing a new set of Callaway X-20's and wanted to know which configuration makes more sense? I plan on also purchasing a Driver and 5W but would have nothing between 5W and 4I.

I would get 4-PW, a hybrid, and some Vokey wedges. Or 5-PW and two hybrids.

custom order your set and take away the 3 iron... save you some cash. then pick up a hybrid, which loft depends on what you realistically seeing yourself needing... ie what you are comfortable hitting, whether your intention is to take the club off the tee or off the deck.

I'm regretting not having gotten 3-PW. I like to take a 3 iron off the tee on some doglegs.

i hear what others are saying about using the 3 iron for tee shots, but fairway woods and hybrids these days are so much more effective for just about everyone. i can sting a 5wood just as well as a 3 iron off the tee. from the turf, a 3 iron is much tougher than a hybrid or FW.

If you got the 3-PW, would you actually use the 3 iron? A 3 iron is pretty difficult to use unless you're pretty good and comfortable with them. I traded in my Callaway X-18 3 iron since I'd rather tee off with my TM Rescue Mid #3. Heck, I'm seeing more game improvement clubs replace the 3 & 4 irons with hybrids.
