Longest Iron in Bag... And More

[lovemylabs]

Longest iron: 6

I'm pretty sure Callaway and Bobby Jones do.

[Wazzu8]

I consider my set up pretty normal.

Only one hybrid and it is a Nike CPR 2 (19*)

My longest club is a TaylorMade R7 CGB 3-iron, the rest of my clubs are a different set.

I never have owned a wood over 3, I only use my irons when I play and it will probably stay that way until my two lessons.

Longest iron : 3 iron

Most lofted wood : 5-wood

Hybrids : Don't have any and don't intend to in the forseeable future.

My 4 iron is the longest iron in my bag; I don't have any 7, 9, or 11 woods; And I use my hybrid in replacement of my 3 iron.

i dont have it yet but i am bidding on various ping 1 irons and plan to put a brand new hof patriot x tour graphite shaft in.

a true driving iron, i reckon its going to be a cracking piece of kit


at the moment i only use a 7iron, pw, putter and driver

Which is the longest iron you can hit consistently good?

I voted for the 5 iron because that's the longest that came in my set, and it's not a particularly cranked loft. Swung a friend's X2 Hot 4i and I was fine after a few swings but not sure if that qualified. I wish I had a 4i instead of a 4 hybrid.

Which is the longest iron you can hit consistently good?

I can consistently hit a 3i very well, because I choose not to hit it from the rough/gunch...but I now typically carry a 3h instead because it is much more versatile in being able to hit it consistently from less than fairway lies.

4 iron.  I have a 3H.

[MS256]

Hard for me to say because it depends on how well I'm playing at any given time.

When I'm playing fairly well (that's as good as it gets from me) I hit my 3 iron very well.

When I'm not playing very well I very often would rather take something off of a 5W than to hit an iron. Lately I've had a 3 hybrid in the bag instead of my 3 iron because I'm not playing very well.

The 3 is my longest iron but I did borrow a friend's 1 iron one day and smoked it every time (but I was hitting irons very well that day).

So I guess to answer the question I would have to decide if I was Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde.

4 iron. I have a 3 Hybrid.  I love hitting a 4 iron off the tee.

[Hardballs]

4 iron.  I have a 3H.

My longest iron was 4i, so I bought a 3h, turned out the 3h has the same loft as my 4i, and goes the same distance, but so much easier to hit! So I ditched the 4i. Damn cranked lofts!! Now I need a 2 h!

Can play? 2-iron. Choose to play? 5-iron. Hybrids are so easy to hit higher and longer that I just can't justify carrying a long iron any more!

[HawkNballs]

I have more trouble hitting a hybrid off the fairway than I would a 3 iron.  I think I need to hit down on it more, like I would with an iron.

[Reval14]

Can someone explain me why hybrids are so easy to hit compared to long irons?

[Yukari]

I don't have 2-iron, so my longest iron (see my signature below) is 3 iron, which I hit around 230 yds.

[whatwoodtigerdo]

Choose to hit 5 iron as highest. Just took the 4i out of my bag just not enough height off my 4 iron.

I'm in this boat.
