5 iron if conditions are pretty normal. I actually hit my 5 iron quite a lot on my home course so its a feel good club for me.

I'd be looking at my 5-iron but I wind up hitting the 4 for a strong cut - this shot is between clubs for me.

Jealous of you players who would have the same dilemma with the 5 and 6. ;)

210 would be a #3 Hybrid for me. Smooth swing should put it right on the money

Downwind is a 4 Iron.

Uphill or into the wind is my 2H.

Direct is a 3 Iron.

In solid conditions this would probably be a 5 iron, maybe a four depending on the shot i was playing, i did have this shot last weekend though and because of the cold and wet i played a 3 iron. Put it on the green, about 20 feet away, but it did stop within a foot of landing!!

Depends on a couple of factors, type of lie and wind conditions. I would hit a 3 iron into the wind, a 4 iron with the wind or 3h with no wind if I want to hold the green (assuming I hit it)

I'd draw it in there with a 4 iron unless it was really wet or windy. If I needed to carry it to the pin, I would use my 19* hybrid.

I can't answer. I might hit anything from a 3-wood to a 5-iron.

210 is my 3-iron or a gripped down 17-degree hybrid. It depends on the lie, how I feel that day, which way I want to work the ball, what the wind and elevation is, where trouble lies, where the pin is, how the green is slanted...

goodness theres a lot to consider when hitting a 3 iron- its a wonder that the ball is even hit at all with all that procrastination.

It irritates me when people say that they take all these things in to account before a shot as an amateur just to sound clever- just hit the ball and find it again and hit it again.

Its all crap!

You are 210 out from the pin, with the front of the green at 195. No trouble on the left, bunkers guarding the right side of the green. What's your weapon and why?

The hybrid because it will land sofer,

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

4 or 5 iron depending on how I felt that day and what the weather was like.

It depends on my score and if it was a par 5 or par 4. If it was a 4 somehow and I felt like taking a gamble i'd hit a 5 wood. I'd either go way over if I hit it nice or just get on. Maybe save par.

If it was a par 5. I'd hit a 4 iron just to the front of the green slightly left So i can chip on. and not have any trouble.
