How Far Do You Hit A 5 Iron

[SouthernILGolfer]

I could hit my old 5 hybrid about 175 and then about 2 months ago I broke the shaft in it. I recently replaced it with a similar model hybrid but couldnt get a graphite shaft and opted for steel, im lucky to hit it 160-165 at best but I can control it better and hit more consistent shots and will vary how hard I swing and choke up and sometimes use it for 145-150 yard shots as well as I'd rather hit it than my 6 or 7 iron. It gives me a much better chance to hit the green.

I'll on average hit my 5 iron about 200 yards.

I base all my yardages off of my "summer distances" where my 5 iron is 200 yards and my 9 iron is 150 yards. I then club myself accordingly for everything else based off of these two clubs. In colder weather, I use the formula where you lose 1 yard for every 3°F below 85°F (basically at 55°F I need 1 more club).

I have a prototype Hammer X Factor 5-Iron and I hit it about 350 yards (no roll). POW!!!!

[Jameshooper]

170 yards

[Dartguy]

About 190.

[Deryck Griffith]

195 no roll, 205 with roll (roll depends on the ground coditions...soft, hard, etc)

[San_94]

About 180-185, no roll with my Tommy Armour 855s

If I nuke it with a hood-faced, strong lofted, graphite shafted, SGI 5 hybrid down an airport runway with Category 5 hurricane force tailwinds I can hit it as far as some of the 25 handicappers on here.

[CassinoNorth]

About 190 usually. Can go from 180-200 depending how hard I swing though.

I don't carry a 5 iron anymore but hit my 26 degree Nickent hybrid 185 under normal conditions.

[DaSportsGuy]

150-160. Occasionally up to 165 or 170.

[enis750]

195....can jam it out there 200 if i need too, but tend to max it out around 195

[Zeph]

165-170 yards.

[Williamevanl]

I always pull the five from the 200 stake and I don't think I hit particularly long so Internet distance aside these numbers seem kind of low.

[darkhunter139]

About 180-190 usually if I hit it good.

If I made this poll, I'd have added "Farther than you." as as an option.

[motteler621]

I hit the 5 iron 180-185
