6 iron

[Pete405]

I hit mine about 170...but that's really not important..if your hitting your 6 160 and doing it straight and consistent , that's a great shot! I'd rather lose 10 yards on a club and gain the consistency

I hit my 6 iron 180yds. comfortably

It only matters that you know how far you can hit that 6 iron. If you know you can get a consistent yardage out of each club in you bag you're golden. And let your uncle know that unsolicited advice is against the rules. Then question his manhood for pulling out the hybrid for that 160 yd par 3.

It really doesn't matter how far you hit your clubs. As everyone has said, it's all about what club you take to get to the green quickly and efficiently.

For the record, I hit my 6 iron around 160.

I can hit my 6-iron "about" 160 yards - from a flat lie on a straight hole, no wind, good ball striking day, smooth swing, blah, blah, blah. I think it's important to know what we can hit our clubs "about." Uphill lie, downhill, side-hill, traps in the ffront, water in the back, hurting wind, helping wind ... and so on and so on ...

With our handicaps, it's good to know what we can hit the shot "about" in yardage and then calculate what it's going to take so that our next shot has mitigated any danger - albeit rewards - because of this shot. If I can hit my 6-iron 160 and I'm uphill lie to an uphill green with trouble front and right with a slight hurting left to right wind, (just saying here), I'm thinking 5-iron, because the uphill lie will add loft, the uphill green will decrease total distance, and I want to stay away from the trouble front and right.

In short, it's good to know "about" what we hit each club and adjust strategy from there based on conditions, course and (most important) how we're striking the ball today.

Just my three cents worth ... I'm sure the pros can hit the numbers exactly, that's why they're pros ... enjoy!!

Cheers for all the replys guys...and i am possitive for sure he hit a 4 hybrid short of that par 3...

145 for me. When I'm swinging very well and making consistent, solid contact I start reaching out to 150-155, but that's not the norm.

175-180...
