At least it has a nice distribution. Who the heck put fairway/hybrids on the bottom. ;)

If there's trouble short, I'm hitting 8.  If the pin's deep and I'm afraid of being past it, 9 iron should be just short of it.  That all assumes fairway lie, level, sea level, no wind hurting or helping, and not one of those days where I'm nuking everything or a bit shorter than normal.  155 is my stock 8 iron.

typically an 8 iron to cover 145 - 155 yardage. 

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

My stock 150yd yardage club has changed over the years...........

In the early 1990s- it went from a 7-iron to 8-iron as the decade progressed.  Mostly due to improved technology.  Through most of the 2000s....I could fly a 9-iron 150-155 comfortably.  Now that we are in the back-half of the 2-Teens and I'm pushing the 50's...... I am back to 150s yardages being an 8-iron.  Turning into a short knocker in old age...............

What's in Paul's Bag:

- Callaway Razr Fit 5-wood
- Callaway Big Bertha 4-5 Rescue Clubs

    • Hopefully this one is better  
    • Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.
    • Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question. 
    • Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.  
    • A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.
