I was just wondering, what we were all carrying as our longest iron and why? I'll start, right now its 4i, but I have both 4i and 4h in the bag, at least until I get my wedges (50Β°, 54Β°, and 58Β°) then it will be 5i...

I carry, as my longest iron, either a 4i or a 3i depending on how windy it is that day. On really windy days I swap out my 3-hybrid for a 3-iron simply because I find it easier to hit lower into the wind. My hybrid has a tendency of going way up into the air for me on windy days.

Prior to purchasing my current set of irons, which are s55's, the longest iron I would carry was a 5-iron because I found the Eye 2 long irons difficult to hit.

5i, but if my ego allowed for it, I'd replace it with a hybrid. Iron play is not good enough right now to make it useful.

3-iron for me. It's pretty forgiving and I hit it high enough. I did use a 20 degree hybrid for a couple years as a high launching "strong" 3-iron, right now I'm liking the versatility of the i 3-iron.

I can't vote, I don't carry anything over a 7-iron. B-)

5 iron although I just picked up a used Titleist 915H 5 hybrid to try out. I can hit the 5 iron off the tee and from good lies, but any difficult lie makes it hard.

Depends - I can swing a 5i decently and I bring it out in strong wind.

With little wind, I luv my hybrids for height and distance. I will use a 4, 5, 6 hybrid, or 4 and 6 hy.

5i which I hit pretty well from the fairway. I carry a 3h and 4h which I find easier to get up in the air and the 4h is useful from the rough - choke up and hit down.

I hit a 4 iron, but it has 23 deg of loft

It just fits at the top end of my set. I have a 2 hybrid that's set at 17.5 degrees to fit between that and my 3-wood.

I still have a 3-iron.

I hit it just fine, but most hybrids go too high and the 3I is useful occasionally.

That said, the only time I ever seem to use it is on par threes of a certain length, and even less often, when I have a decent lie and need to hit a low shot.

That said, I don't feel a major need to replace it because I don't need a club in that slot very often.

Mine is a 6 iron. Β When I bought my set (Adams Speedline) it came with a 5 hybrid. Β I have added an Adams Idea Super S 19 degree 3 Hybrid as well. Β It was on sale at hurricanegolf.com for $49.99. Β Figured I couldn't go wrong at that price.

I still carry my 3i. Β I can launch it nice and high off the deck (peak avg is ~34yds) so I don't see any reason to take it out. Β I also have a 2i driving iron but it's one of those Adams Proto's so I don't think that counts, I voted 3i.

Thanks Mike, just rub it in for us mere mortals ;-)

5i for me, a) its the lowest iron than came with my current set, and b) im still useless with that nevermind anything lower.

    • I know the camera angle is terrible but I wasn't to be bothered by anything. This a straight up caveman hit. No structural or dynamic positional thoughts. Wanted to clean up my palate of too many competing thoughts. Still committed to getting my pelvis and trail elbow moving correctly but I'm just fighting myself a bit too much at the moment.
