My 9i goes further & straighter than my 7i and I have lost all confidence in it. Any idea why the 9i goes further & straighter?


It's in your head. Start hitting it 100 yards easy weezy. Then add 10 yards to it, easy weezy, then add 10 more yards, easy weezy. You'll get there. You just need to rebuild your confidence in the club and leave your ego in your car when you play golf.

Easy, practice!!! I am 14 years old and I hit my 7 iorn 170 yards. My handicap is a 3.7! You know why? Because i have been playing for 11 years and i practice almost everyday. I put my blood sweat and tears in to my pasion, GOLF! My average scare is 65-75 on 18 and i play on the mens tee. Golf is a hard sport and i love it! Just practice and you will see improvement. Practice makes perfect! My skill is a blessing from God:)

From 1975 to 1980, the 7 iron had a loft of 40 degrees.

From 1980 to 1995,  "    "   "      "     "   "   "  36      "

From 1995 to today,  "    "   "    has  "    "  "  33-34 degrees.

 

The shafts of irons are also half an inch longer today than in the 1980s.

So really, the current 7 iron is equivalent to Jack Nicklaus's 5 iron !

I was in a scramble a few years ago with a guy who couldn't hit the ball very far with his woods (my gf was outdriving him no problem - if only she wasn't such a *****, but I digress) but he could hit his irons okay - total arm swing. So we get to the final hole which was a 150 yard par 3. He tries to pull out his 3 iron and I suggested he might want to go with a 7 to just keep it in play. He counters with the 5-iron. His wife convinces him that I might know what I'm talking about and he uses a 7-iron. He sort skulls / tops the ball and it rolls and bounces like a SOB to about 10 paces short of the green. He looks over at me with a smug look and shakes his head, "I knew it was a 5-iron". I guess it was buddy - my bad.

The last couple pages of this thread have some great posts, including these three.  Good stuff, fellas.  "I knew it was a 5-iron."  LOL!

Simple, unicorn horn spray.  Everyone knows it's better than deer antler spray.
