every week i saw people who cant carry the drive 210 yds or hit a 4 iron and they use shorter irons than me in shorts par 3.

Reason why others might be hitting shorter irons might also be equipment. You wouldn't believe some of the lofts they put irons these days.

yep sometimes i have fly the green cause that :P but most of the times its more cause im not sure of the hit (water before the green, not sure of the distance, etc) but my shots usually are more accurate this way.

Working to increase these.  I am very inconsistent currently, and you could add 25 yards to all but the last 2 on a good day.

These seem very realistic for a weekend golfer, not a pro-club pro-daily player-college player, just a weekend golfer.

After going through the bag on the range last weekend:

Driver 260 (ss 100 mph or so)

3 Wood 230

3 Hybrid 210

4 Hybrid 195

5 Iron 185

6 Iron 175

7 Iron 165

8 Iron 155

9 Iron 145

PW 135

GW 125

SW 110

I'm wondering if this is one of my issues. I crush my driver, 3W, and 2i Hybrid, but feel like I lack distance on my irons. I can get 260 out of my 3 wood, but can barely get 165 out of my 6 iron. I feel like those two don't go together...

Are all your clubs the same make/model with the same flex? If not that could be one issue. If they all came together as a box set then I'm not sure what would be the cause.

No, and that's what makes me think it's the clubs.

TaylorMade RBZ Driver and 3 wood, Cleveland Hybrid, and Nike Slingshot irons.

Definitely the clubs. If you are looking for distance on the irons burner 09, burner plus, or burner 2.0 will give you a lot of distance and consistency. There are other clubs that will do the same, pings are great, and I also tried out some newer cobras that were comparable to the burner  plus irons I just bought. You can get the burner plus irons new for 299 many places.

That's not a bad price. I'm debating whether or not to hold on to the slingshots until I get consistent enough with my irons to get a good set of blades. I used a set when I was on vacation in Florida, and played terribly with them, but when I hit it well, there was no denying the huge difference.

The only difference is I use a 5 iron rather than 5 hybrid, and I don't carry a 3W anymore. Also, I don't think I can get another 25 yards out of any of these without getting "aggressive" and very likely mishitting shots. I already hit my driver with a pull-fade if I try to swing faster, which ends up going shorter anyway. Maybe, I'm a little too tense, and need to relax into my new swing.
