7 Iron

Lexus1976

Hello,

Have'nt played golf in years, so have been spending a lot to time down the driving range.

Just curious what distance do you get from your 7 Iron, my average is approx 120 yards! Should I be aiming for better?

i have to chuckle at people absorbed in distance. It really is not essential.

If maybe you tell us your age,male/female and general fitness and physical shape?

For exampe, I'm a 17yr old male who is 15 stone but relitvly fittish, and hit my 7 iron between 150-160.

But past 155 is at a rip. I tend to just hit soft irons, going for accuracy. I have no problem hitting 2 irons more then my opponents, some people find it " pride damaging" if they are being outclubbed.

But 120 is pretty short for a 7 iron, 120 is bout my 9 iron distance.

There is no set rules on how far you "should" be able to hit any club but in your case you could try and judge it on how far you hit other irons. Roughly speaking there's probably a difference of 10 yards or so between irons. So, for example if you hit your 5 iron 150, then a 6 iron is probably around 140 and a 7 iron about 130 etc.

I typically hit about 160 with a 7 iron.

Not if it's outside your abilities.. Like was stated, forget about distance, worry about your accuracy!!!

I wouldnt worry about it if its accurate. I had a set of titleist 990's and the pitching wedge was 46*. My current ping eye 2's have a 50* pitching wedge so go figure.
