Thanks for all the help, I played the Stallion Open today. There was about a 30 mph pushing the ball left so i aimed way right and took an 8 iron, the rest of my group took a 9. Distance was spot on, but the wind was really pushing. Anyways turns out the 8 iron was the correct choice for me. Pared the hole. Thanks for the help.

Yes i am a 10 handicap that shoots 150 with my 5 iron but 240 with my driver. go figure.

Driver: FT Tour 9.5
Fairway woods: X-Fairway 3 and 5
Irons: : X-Forged '09 3-PW in Carolina Blue, Oklahoma Orange, and Wake Forest Green grips.
Wedges: X-Forged '09 54-14 and Vokey Spin-Milled 60-7
Putter: Odyssey Black Series #8

Preferred Ball: Z-star Tour Yellow

10 handicap hits a 5 iron 148 yards?

I play with a 6 handicapper who hits a 5 iron that sort of distance.

He very rarely misses the fairway (if at all) His putting is immense and he can do things with a pitching wedge I can only dream of. I would almost say he is in perfect control (of his game) He is horrible to play against because he very rarely makes a mistake and the only shots he gives away are on very long (575 yd plus par 5's and 420 yd plus par 4's)

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      At Sheep’s Ranch, Bandon Dunes. Shot an 84. That wind was nasty going from like hole 7 forward. It was like a 3-4 club wind if in the face. Greens are tricky with the natural grass.

      Yes. The full swing is not that different, and speed is important with all of them. You don't see Tour players hitting their driver 310 and then hitting their 7I 160. Of course, but they're nothing like those for the full swing.

      How about with the high numbered irons such as the 9 iron? Is the swing the same with that? If that's the case then I stand corrected.  OK, although there is physics involved in the putt too.

      I didn't say it was unfeasible. That's not what you said. And… be careful there. Not around the club's COM, man.
