My 3 iron used to be my butter 200-210 club... but I can't hit it yet with my newest set of irons.

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.


Depends on wind, landing area, hole uphill, level, or downhill. Level-3 iron. Downhill-4 iron. Uphill-5 wood/3H/2 iron.

Depends on where the pin is located - if the pin is in the front, then the distance to the pin could be anywhere between 180-195 or so in which I would hit a 6i. If the pin was in the or the middle back, I would hit my 205 5i shot, let it release to the flag, two putt and get the hell out of there.

3 Hybrid most likely, except if there's stuff on the left. I tend to pull my hybrid sometimes. :P

3 hybrid or 5 wood, depending on the hole layout. Interestingly, we have a 210 yard par 3 on my course, and those are the 2 clubs I use depending on pin placement and how I'm swinging that day.

I'm a touch longer than you with my irons. I'd hit a little 3 wood most probably or if my 5 wood is in the bag that day, I'd hit that. If it is firm and fast, I might hit a 3 iron. It really depends on the hole, where I don't want to hit it, and how I am swinging at that point in the round.

don't you mean..."bread and butter"? lol


4 iron or 5 hybrid. (My 5 hybrid goes about 5-10 yards farther than my 4 iron). Or my 2 hybrid if I'm feeling awfully short that day.

2 Hybrid: Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwood

Don't carry a 5 or 7 wood.

I'd probably hit my 17* 2 Hybrid.....it's usually 195-205.

My 3 hybrid is 175-185 and my 4 iron is 165-170

If you are not a long hitter like me, 6 iron from 155 yards.

What loft is your 6iron? 155 seems like a fine distance to me (meaning maybe it isn't long, but it isn't short, either).

I hit my 7 iron about 150 yds, I would use a 22 degree hybrid (3 hybrid)

19 degree hybrid unless the conditions called for something else -- hot weather (80 degrees +) and fast conditions, then probably a 4 iron.....if it is cold with a hurting wind, then possible a 3/4 3 wood.

Probably a 3 or 4 iron depending on the day. Maybe up or down a club from there depending on other factors, like hazards, wind, pin position, where do I really not want to play my next shot from.

Depends on how long the hole actually plays. 211 is probably the absolute limit of my 3 iron (and I'd have to nut it). Probably think about scaling back on a 19 degree hybrid if I think the hole is playing longer, if it's OK to miss long, or if there's trouble to the right and I can't bail out left (my normal miss with a 3 iron).

Otherwise - 3 iron.

To get there would either be a good 5W or a soft 3W for me. I probably hit similar irons to yours. Realistically, I'd quite likely play the hole to get on in two unless it was very open without much trouble near the green, though. So I'd hit something like a 4I and expect to chip on. I don't really have the accuracy with the longer clubs to get on a green from that distance.
