Build a club distance chart and check the gapping between clubs.
Even gapping means every distance has a club, while wide gaps force partial swings that are less reliable. Overlapping clubs waste one of the fourteen slots allowed. Most amateurs have three or four clubs covering nearly the same distance at the long end and a thirty-yard gap at the short end, which is exactly backwards.

Average gap = distance range ÷ (clubs − 1)
