What is the great duty of the brassie
The brassie serves shots through the fairway when maximum length and height are needed and off the tee when not much length is desired and the ball must stop quickly after a long flight. For the ordinary player it is used on many holes for the second shot, especially over 400 yards, providing substantial length with similar swing to the driver. The greatest use is distance through the fairway from a fairly good lie.
