Hi im 16 years old and Im fairly new to playing the game of golf seriously but I have always gone to courses with my dad and hit a ball here and there but this year I have really gotten serious about it and now play full rounds of golf with my dad. I am looking for a club that would be good for about 170-200 yrds. Just to let you know how far I can hit my other clubs so you can get a better idea of what I need to get, I hit a sw 75yrds, pw 100-115yrds, 9 iron 120, 8 iron 135, 7 iron 140-150, and 6 iron 150-160, then my 3 wood which im not too sure how far but its over 200. These are the clubs I am consistent with, my driver and long irons I dont use because im usually all over with them. I am thinking about a 5 wood or maybe even a hybrid club. So again what would you reccomend me using to get between 170-200 yrds?

go to a golf store with one of the computer simulators and try out some different clubs, that shoud give you an idea what to buy. club and shaft

Yea, I agree with Dan. That's probably the easiest and you'd be able to try out all different things.

I hit my Ping G2 7 wood around 175-200, which falls in perfect with your distances. I hit the clubs you mentioned the exact same distance, so try out a ping 7 wood.

But, like the other guys said, try out the golf stores, and their computer programs.

I went to test out some clubs at the store on the computerized screen thing. I really liked the Cleveland halo 22* 3i hybrid. I was hitting it about 170-180yrds. Is this a pretty descent club? Are they good for hitting out of the fairway rough and fairway bunkers? Do you think this will make a good long approach club for me?

thanks,
steve

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
