I have been going to the driving range pretty regularly and im hitting it fairly well but my main problem is i could hit a four iron x amount of yards and then hit my 6 iron and it would good 20 yards further. What can i do to improve the consistency of how well i hit each shot and the distance i hit each shot.

Lots of practice brother. There is no easy way around it. Find a good pro and take a lesson too. That way you have a frame of reference and you can get some things to work on.

maybe you are swinging harder with 4i because you want to hit certain yardage and when you swing to 6i with the same tempo you hit 20 yards further.
or
hitting 4i grooves your swing to a better shape so your 6i goes further

do a slow motion of your swing with the 4 iron and the 6 iron. Take the club back, stop, look at how your positioned, do that about 4 times within different parts of the swing with your 4 iron and 6. Maybe youll notice something different within the both of them.

Hope you can get what im saying.

    • Day 6: lighter session today after a long day. Just some mirror work and slow swings to try to get my feels down. 
    • @Philip Belgium,  If I haven't already, Welcome to TST.  Your injury sounds serious and I hope you fully recover.   Thanks for sharing your story.  ..... each day get 1-2% better.   (A ray of sunshine and a positive outlook)
    • Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.  
    • Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster. 
    • Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.
