With my previous Irons, I averaged around 140-145yards with the 9iron. I have yet to actually play my new irons on a course...just in a simulator and very briefly at a range. Work and this excessive rain are ruining my chances to get out and play.

I could probably hit mine 170 if I swung for the fences. However its my 140 yard club.

My 9 iron is my 150 club.  My longest ever was off a tee, back of my stance with a hard draw swing and hit it 180.  off the ground....hitting it as hard a i can probably 170 at the max.  But it is my 150 club with a full swing.

By the way, the average carry for a 9 iron on the PGA Tour is 148 yards. So we've got at least 5 or 6 guys on this thread alone who obviously missed their calling!

Not too far off everyone else really, about 145-155 yards depending on the lie etc.

I attempt to get round with:

 

 SL290 Driver, 9*, 43S Shaft

 FL Fairway, 15*, 43S Shaft

Burner Superfast 2.0 Hybrid, 18*, Reg. Shaft

CG16 Tour Black Pearl Irons, FST KBS Tour Reg+ Shafts

CG16 Black Pearl 48-8* Wedge

CG15 52-10*, 58-10*, 60-8* Wedges

Method 001 Putter

148 is normal shot at sea level.  I have hit it as far as 180 in las vegas with a stiff breeze at my back.  The ball there already goes about 1 to 1 1/2 club farther than in NC there though.

Score? My score is the amount of shots, not distance. I hit my 9i around 120-130 meters = 130-140 yards.

The OP was wanting to know how far did the farthest 9-iron you've ever hit travel. I had one travel > 200 yards this year. It was a flyer lie on a hot humid evening and I over swung. My target was a pin at ~ 170. I was allowing for the flyer, but not the spastic overswing. I one hopped my ball into the bush at 200 yards. My best 9-iron "score" is > 200 yards. Technically is was one of the worst 9-irons I've ever hit because it turned an eagle chance into a bogey chance.

Cmon give the kid a break. He's polish and probably speaks english as a second language. How would you feel if everyone expected you to speak perfect spanish if you visited spain? For someone who is supposed to be an adult you seem to make some childish posts.

Sean's made some pretty childish posts in his day (I think he'd be the first to admit that), but the one you quoted doesn't seem to be one of them.  If anything he was just clarifying for Zeph what the OP was asking.

Are you sure you're quoting the correct person?

I really think that everything in your post needs clarification and/or citations.

Please explain yourself.

    • Short gym set at lunch;  bench press, four sets of five, 180 lbs.   Did a few of the medicine ball / driver drill too while I was at it. 
    • I took a look at a 6,300 yard fairly easy course and it was 99% distance and then a 6,800 yard more challenging course and it was 97% distance. Do you have an example of one less that 95% or 90%? Maybe I am misunderstanding something. (6,310/220) + 40.9 = 69.6. Course rating is 70.0 with a 120 slope. Less than 1% other factors? (6,804/220) + 40.9 = 71.8. Course rating is 74.0 with a 140 slope. About 3% other factors? These are more extreme: (4,698/220) + 40.9 = 62.3. Course rating is 62.7 with a slope of 101.  (7,569/220) + 40.9 = 75.3. Course rating is 77.4 with a slope of 155. So long hard courses are 97% length and short easy courses are 99% length in these examples. I am new to this so maybe I am all wet.  
    • I think in fairness what he means is Tommy's chances to win PGA Tour events are fairly similar in number to Rory's chances to win the Masters. I don't think he's remotely saying that Tommy and Rory are in the same league. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I took the comment as meaning if he keeps giving himself chances to win then eventually he will win one. Rory had a thing in his head about the Masters and won anyway. Tommy has a thing in his head about PGA Tour events. They do seem fairly analogous to me.
    • Don't get me wrong, I like TF from a nice-guy-next-door perspective but I was surprised at the nerves he showed on the 2nd putt on 17th. That was unmistakably a stroke of a player who had already submitted to the writing on the wall. Honestly I would not expect that out of a veteran tour player. I would have liked to continue rooting for him but gotta see a bit more fight from him. Rory could be reasonably accused of being a head case but he is a fighter. Big difference.
    • Um no. Rory Wins PGA Tour 29, EU 19, Majors 5, FedEx Cup 3 Tommy PGA Tour 0, EU 7, Majors 0, FedEx 0 He may win eventually, but he’s not in the same league as Rory.
