Somehow I've gained 15 yards in both my 5iron and PW and about 10y in my 9iron. Looking down at them they look like they are supposed to, but, I have a suspicion it may have to do with my clubs not being checked for loft and lie for some time now. So I'm gonna take them to my club-fitter tomorrow.

I have been working on leg strength and stamina with cycling along with yoga for flexibility. Plus I've bee working on a longer backswing. Hopefully these are where my gains are coming from and not bent forged irons... *fingers crossed*

If you have gained length in only certain clubs then something is wrong. Not to mention the likelihood that you probably now hit a few clubs the exact same distance making certain clubs pointless to have in the bag.

Nice work. Adding both strength and flexibility may not help everyone gain distance but it sure can. I place my bet on flexibility from yoga being the key. If it is only some clubs, try to hit the others like you hit those. :)

I concur....

If it's only a couple irons, something is wrong with the clubs.  If it's a range of clubs.....like all your short irons, then it has something to do with ball position and setup.  IE.........I sometimes trend towards hitting my short irons really long(too long), but that's because I sometimes de-loft them and drive them lower.  After a quick setup correction, everything goes back to normal.

If you're only hitting your 5-iron and wedge crazy long distances, you have club issues.

Probably making better contact with those clubs and thats why they're going further.   Mines usually the 8 iron, sometimes ill hit it farther then the 7 because its easier for me to hit.

    • I am listening to 23rd Street.  24 hours a day of cars, trucks, planes, sirens, and neighbors who start lawn mowers at 6:30am. I try to drown it out with 7,600 WAVE music files on a huge USB drive.  Mostly 1950's through 1990's music.
    • Thanks! Evolvr, for sure. My indoors setup is pretty close to ready. I want to add a few more lights as it's a pretty dark place to begin with (old barn). Plan to use my iPhone 14 Pro, 720p 240 FPS. I think I got a tripod somewhere, but I nail everything down so I'll make a small box I can just plop the phone into. That way I know it's always in the same spot and level. How does the setup look in terms of angles and stuff.  I saw that topic and bookmarked it for later. A technique where you want the head to move forward and down? I've been doing that for twenty years! (not on purpose) 😛 Looks fun, I'll certainly try it out. £7000. That's certainly "down the line". What would be a good price? Thanks. I'll probably hold off until at least winter comes and see where we're living at that point. For the next six months I'll combine indoor practice with the range, which helps.
