On a flush hit, which feels best to you?

[MI Rob]

A flush hit with an iron is my favorite. Especially with my 3 and 6 irons.

Something about those long irons.....well struck shots with them are hugely gratifying. For me...it could be the rarity of those shots that makes them sweet.

[mkoreiwo]

Well... seems obvious in the voting that a good iron is the one. Nothing like it imho!

[Fourputt]

Iron absolutely. The feedback from an iron is so pronounced... hit it sweet and there's only one other thing I can think of that compares... but this isn't the forum for such prurient discussions.

Yup....I agree. I love your sig. line. It's good to see slow play get some more attention. That is one thing that seems to be improving locally. I think the gps units help the marshalls better track the goings on and pace.

5 iron flush is heaven. Perfect combo of soaring trajectory and speed of flight. Just beautiful. Best experienced at higher altitudes (Colorado, Utah, etc)

The irons are defiantly number 1 but my 3-wood is actually a close second. When I hit it pure, it almost feels like I'm just swinging through air with a nice ping. Its a great feeling.

i hit my 3 wood like a monster today but i still love a good mid iron shot

You can't beat the feeling of that "tuning fork ringing in your loins" when the "big dog" eats something!

a month or so ago, i purchased a brand new persimmon driver on ebay, and i tell you what - once i learned to hit that club, there is nothing else that feels so good in the game. i derive a lot of pleasure from that solid wooden CRACK! and watching my ball take off down the fairway.

[MI Rob]

Lately I love a solid hit with my 7 or 9 iron. Usually it is my 6 iron but it changes all the time.

I choose an Iron. Not so much because of the "feel" as much as the satisfaction I get from hitting it well. Example...a couple of weeks ago at the club on the 12th hole. It is a short par 5. I hit a great driver...absolutley flushed it...flew about 300 yards. I was left with about 185 yard shot to the center of the green but the pin was back which added another 8 yards to the shot. I took a 5 iron and hit it as good as I possibly could. It landed about 4 feet from the hole and stopped at the back of the green leaving me with about a 20 foot putt for eagle. I had to hit this iron pretty good to get it there because the hole is a little uphill and then you have to fly over 3 sandtraps to reach it. I figured the worst thing that was going to happen if I hit it a little thin was end up in the bunker and I would still be able to get down for par.

i hit a really flush 4h today that flew farther than i thought it would... it felt sooo smooth

[Dub]

I think back on my earliest rounds of golf....wading through the fog of frustration and wonderment....it was those rare pured iron shots that kept me coming back.

They just rang true and were somthing I wanted to feel more and more.

Luckily they surface every round...certainly not every hole, but at least a few times a round.

Keeps me coming back. I see the voters feel the same way.

Driver. I have only felt this once. The complete compression of the ball against the face of my driver. she towered and plugged over 300 yards less than 320. I have hit them farther since but I have not felt that feel of compression, like hitting a orange with a driver. I do like the iron feel, and felt a few of those last weeks round. they seem to be more common when i am standing uphill of the ball,,,any idea what that means to be ? when on level lie?

[IcemanYVR]

I can't say which club feels better on a flush hit... they all feel the same, on the inside, you know when you've hit it flush.

As for feeling, nothing beats the sensation of hitting an forged iron pure, there's no feeling like it, in fact there's almost no feeling at all...

[rudygu]

Guess I'm alone on this, but I chose putter. I love the feel of any flush hit, but there's something about a perfectly struck Pro V1x (everything else feels either too mushy or too clicky for me) tracking along the line I envisioned. I can usually tell if I've holed it well before it goes in.

My next choice would be the wedge, then short irons, etc. I think it's mostly mental...the shorter the club in my hand, the higher my expectations are for the shot and I get a greater sense of satisfaction when it comes off perfectly.

[McGolf-Doggie]

That was an easy question.
Irons without a shadow of a doubt for me. They feel extremely sexxxay when hit flush, can't say that about any other clubs I own. Driver is gratifying when hit properly, but can't say it "feels" that much better. But my irons, that's a whole different sensation (TM Racs) very feelable, very palpable, very tactile. May be the part of the game I like best. Keeps me coming back for more.
