How far do you hit your 7 iron


Sluggo42

Recommended Posts

Watching the raffle yesterday, on of the guys hit a 7 iron for one of the give-aways..

 

I think I remember it going 216 or thereabouts, which stunned me. When I was younger, i could hit my MP33 7 iron 180.

Now I hit my RC forged CB on reg shaft about 160.

 

How far do you hit your 7 iron, and what brand is it?

I have a Titleist 716 AP2 7 iron and I hit it about 175-180, but I did hit the taylormade P790 7 iron around 210

Average 190-200 hitting it pure. I can put a little more on it, but I can also start getting a little wild.

Ping i E1 goes about 155.  Would love to be able to hit it about 10 yards longer.

I have the ping i e1 with Nippon modus 3 stiff shafts and typically will hit my 7 about 170. It's much further then my cobra amp cell pros which was about 155. I think the whole forgiveness had a big factor with that.

Just looking at the distances here I'm waiting for a lot of 120's to check in to get our average back to around 140 which is the norm for a male golfer. :)

 

The PGA range is 165-180 - seems like we easily have that beat.

Yea..... I was waiting for someone to bring that up. Makes me wonder what some of these 4-5 irons are going??? If I could hit irons that far, I wouldn't a need a driver...lol.

Is this thread in my GolfSpy, or in that other golfing webspace, where everyone is a pro?

 

Or, am I just getting too old here at 61, and I've lost so much strength and distance that I'm just “a senior” hahahaha

You seem to be implying some people on here are exagerating...golfers NEVER lie or stretch the truth..They are just like fishermen, good honest people with no trouble reading a tape. LOL :D

If I'm on the range with a small bucket, I could probably put one out there 165-170. On the course I'm comfortable with 147-153 according to game Golf live. My course's par 3s are over 170 and there's been time that I pull out the 7i and knock it in the middle. I have no illusion about my occasional distance though. Some days I'd be hitting a club shorter well so be it.

 

I'm a high ball hitter who prefer to see mid to low trajectory and I can achieve that swing from my toe, I prefer smooth aggressive swings that promote more control. My brother on the other hand would try to hit his sand wedge 130 yards and half the time he does it, I just have to shake my head and smile.

I'd be happy to take you as a partner, and take on a couple of the long-hitting 15-handicaps.

That would be fun - Rusty's brother sounds like my son - 18 at my club is a 420 yd brut - I've see him go driver lob wedge - I've also seen him go over the neighbors house into the club house and back in the pocket.

160-165 is my comfortable 7 iron carry, depending on what way the prevailing south wind is blowing here by the gulf. Srixon Z565.
