For me, it's probably 175 yards. I don't get it often, and Im glad. A full 6 iron is about 185 and a full 7 about 170. If I rip the 7, Im always long and left. If I ease up on the 6, I can't ever seem to ease up enough without hitting it fat.

Right now I don't have a club for anything between 215 yds (avg 3-iron) and 250 yds (avg 3-wood). My home course is shorter with tricky greens so I opt to have an extra wedge instead of the 2-iron or hybrid to fill that gap. There is always one par 5 though where I get into that yardage and wish I had a club for it. I just hit the 3iron because its a tight shot anyway and going over would be real bad. On a longer course I would take out a wedge and put the 2 iron/hybrid in.

Another yardage that bothers me is 100. It is a 90% SW and taking just a little off can sometimes give me problems because of spin control.

It used to be 200 yards, but after tinkering with my swing a little to generate more lag, and now adding a hybrid to my bag in place of a 3-iron, I'm pretty comfortable from that distance now.

Anything around 215 - 230 over a hazard is a bit of a no go for me, I can't hit my 2 iron high enough to stop it and I find taking that much off a 3 wood quite hard. I might switch back to a hybrid in the summer when the weathers not as bad.

60 yards. I never have that distance because I'm pretty good with distance control, but when I do find myself with a 60 yard shot I can't really control my wedge. I usually pull it way left when that shot comes up. Either that or when I try and not pull it left I shank it off the hosel. I love how I play everything else like my handicap, and that shot I'm playing at a 30 handicap haha.

I do not play consistently enough to have a distance that I rarely see. The least used club in my bag though would be my 4 iron, so I'll be dropping that for an extra wedge for now.
