I have the swingbyte 2 and I did some experimenting with 6 irons I have from all the sets of clubs ive had.I hit 4 balls each with each different iron I had and from 9 different 6 irons my numbers were pretty close if not almost identical.My swing speed with all of them was anywhere from 75-79 with most being 76-78mph.I know with the driver you take mph times 2.5 to get carry yardage.How does that work with irons?It cant be 2.5 because I normally can only hit 6 iron 150-160yrds.I was just checking to see if one of those 6 iurons would allow me higher swing speed than other but clearly my swing speed is same .

Unless the shafts were lighter, there probably won't be much difference in swing speed.  With swing speed being the same, distance will have more to do with launch angle and spin off each of the heads.  My swing speed with a 6 iron in 80 - 85 and I carry 155-165.

PGA tour professionals average about 2-3 mph between irons.

The reason being, clubs get lighter the longer they get. My 6 iron is 10 grams lighter than my 7 iron. So half an inch of club length + lighter club will give the clubhead roughly 2-3 mph more speed at impact. So about 10 grams lighter + 0.5 inches in club length will equal 2-3 mph club head speed.
