i have to go with accuracy
i definatly would have to go with accuracy being essential and distance being an added bonus ,,,,,,,,,,,, i figure that one out by watching players play to a specific yardage or ,playing a 2 iron off the tee for ACCURACY certainly not distance ,,,
And there's a reason they are playing to a prefered yardage ,, because from that range , that is were they are most accurate ,,,,,,,,,,they aren't worrying about smashing it 320 down the fairway and only having a 3/4 sand wedge into the green ,,,,,
No ,, almost 90% of pro's would rather hit it shorter to give them something like a 100-120 yard, full sandwedge into the green instead,,, everything they do evolves around accuracy
I'm sure anyone would rather have 180yards left to the green 70% of the time then being 110 yards to the green only 30% of the time
if so ,,then your definatly relying on accuracy to get you home :noddin
You can leave it in the bag!
Two summers ago I retired my driver and played only my 5 wood off the tee. What resulted was the best summer of golf scores ever for me. I broke 80 twice and consistently shot in the low 80s.
Last summer I tried to revive my driver. No breaking 80. Mainly high 80s.
This summer, I'm looking for a balance.
I'll let you know when I get there!
