How Far Do You Hit A 5 Iron

Whats up!!! haha...I just joined here

Thanks.....Here is a driver swing a week ago..I havent hit a ball outside for a couple of months due to weather......

Do you regularly hit without a glove? That, above others, always impresses me, because it says to me you hit it right enough of the time that you don't need the protection of a glove.

And that swing and torso flexibility, awesome. I hope to someday have that kind of flexibility... I've been swinging the medicine ball daily and I think I'm improving but... wow.

I ended up listing mine as less than 140... I estimate my distance around 142, 143, but 140-150 isn't an option and I suspect that the distance I actually hit it is less than the distance I think I do. So I guess there is an option for me.

I currently have my 5 iron distance down as 172 yards (precept Tour Premium 28deg), carry and very little roll. I always do my yardages while the ground is a bit soft and I do it once every month or two as it does change.

I usually use a glove, but I was just walkin in there to get my swing video'd real quick! Thanks for the compliment!

Last summer under normal conditions I tested all my irons, so I know 5iron was 160 on the button. I am curious if I will hit my new clubs further, they have stronger lofts, but outdoor shots were hit on a cold day, height seemed about the same.

My home course has a par 3 that plays 195-ish from the whites. I hit 5 iron and I'm generally pin high if not on the green.

185-190 here at home in Colorado. On my just finished trip to SW Florida I was playing it from about 170.

[BritBoy]

dead flat, no wind, I will play my 5 iron for 185 carry.

[jeffgladchun]

185-200 depending on my ballstriking that day

[NM Golf]

200-205 smooth swing

[T-crank]

Average swing- 175-180.

[Lumpy_22]

Carry between 170-175, roll depends on conditions...

now there's other ways to hit a club either change of trajectory or swing shape... so I guess anywhere from 150-190 depending on the shot....lol

*** Also helps if your find a parking lot or cart path ****
I hit a wedge 300 yards once..... 120 carry into a parking lot, 180 bounce and roll into the highway....lol funny as hell though .... fortunately it was match play and I only lost the hole....

[Nick88]

195 average carry

[Want2PlayMore]

I would like to hit it farther than the 165 that I do but it works for me!

[Fletch09]

210 (carry plus roll) low draw, or 195 high fade (natural).

[kfraser91]

it is between 150 and 165 depending on how im swinging that day
