I'm A Beast!

Somehow I've gained 15 yards in both my 5iron and PW and about 10y in my 9iron. Looking down at them they look like they are supposed to, but, I have a suspicion it may have to do with my clubs not being checked for loft and lie for some time now. So I'm gonna take them to my club-fitter tomorrow.

I have been working on leg strength and stamina with cycling along with yoga for flexibility. Plus I've bee working on a longer backswing. Hopefully these are where my gains are coming from and not bent forged irons... *fingers crossed*

If you have gained length in only certain clubs then something is wrong. Not to mention the likelihood that you probably now hit a few clubs the exact same distance making certain clubs pointless to have in the bag.

Nice work. Adding both strength and flexibility may not help everyone gain distance but it sure can. I place my bet on flexibility from yoga being the key. If it is only some clubs, try to hit the others like you hit those. :)

I concur....

If it's only a couple irons, something is wrong with the clubs.  If it's a range of clubs.....like all your short irons, then it has something to do with ball position and setup.  IE.........I sometimes trend towards hitting my short irons really long(too long), but that's because I sometimes de-loft them and drive them lower.  After a quick setup correction, everything goes back to normal.

If you're only hitting your 5-iron and wedge crazy long distances, you have club issues.

Amazing what happens when you finally hit the sweet spot!

Probably making better contact with those clubs and thats why they're going further.   Mines usually the 8 iron, sometimes ill hit it farther then the 7 because its easier for me to hit.
