OK, long story short, can't hit long irons worth a crap since I started back playing. I can still hit woods really well considering. So I just ordered a 7w to match my 3 and 5 woods. I am assuming I will hit it fine as I used to hit a 9 wood killer.

Comfy range for me is...
3w 180-200
5w 170-185 So I'm covered here.
what will the 7w likely be from the above? 150-170?

Why I ask, I am not comfy with any iron more than 7i, which I feel good in the 130-140 range, but on good days upto 150. I am looking for a club to nail that 145-160 range. Thing is, I have tried numerous hybrids and can't hit them to save my life! Ironically, with my decent drives on the courses I play, my second shot falls into this "missing" range for me a lot! So I either lay up or back way down (which I usually fly the green then).

Of course I am trying to get a decent game back and will continue working on my 5 & 6 irons, but what might you guys suggest for this hacker?
Appreciate all the info and comments!

    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
