First, and I don't mean to split hairs here, but there are only 5 O's in BOOOOM!!!!

touche salesman!!!

My swing got screwed up over the last few years of not playing much golf and my irons kept getting shorter and shorter. My 7 iron went from 160 - 165 yrd club to a 130-135 yrd club. As I wasn't playing much I just accepted the distance loss and clubed up. I figured I better sort this out this year as I playing allot more golf. One lesson and I got my swing back and was knocking my 7 iron 160 yard + again. Infact out on the course with real balls I have been hitting a few 175 iron shots (not a good thing when the green is 155 yrd away and you club up as you don't trust your swing yet)

At any rate just wondering how far you hit your 7 iron?

[GaijinGolfer]

I hit mine about 140 yards.

[kris]

140 avg. sometimes i crank it over and sometimes i chunk it under.

[gir]

I'm pretty standard - about 150 give or take.

[Lemay427]

200. I also hit my driver 350 on the fly!!!
























Max is 175 but I average 165.

[Shindig]

I hit mine about 140, maybe a little more. It's really improved - 3 months ago, it was a 125 yard club for me. Two lessons to integrate my flexibility, combined with actually hitting a small draw and not wasting as much motion.

Funny I always think of 150 as about standard. I have the make up to a be a bigger hitter - 6' 195lbs, take lessons so my mechanics can be good. but once I get my swing figured out I plan to dial thing back down a bit so hit smooth 7 irons about 155.

I have this love affair with the the 7 iron. When I first took up golf all my lessons seemed to be with 7 irons, so I have hit on the range about 100 x more than any other club. I also have this strange hate on for 8 irons, as early on when I took up golf my 8 iron got knocked out of wack and was 3* flat and the loft was strong, I play 2* up so I could never hit that darn 8. I got clubs check one day and discoverd why that 8 iron gave me trouble< but ever since I still can't say I like 8 irons

[alf174]

A very consistent 140yd at 80%; I wish my 6i and 5i were as repeatable.

[Saint]

a very comfortable 170 here.

[Brakkus]

I absolutely love all my short irons in the bag everything from PW through to the 7 iron which is considered a mid iron but it feels like a short iron.It's always been 140-150 for me.
I'm pretty comfortable with all my irons they go up to a 3,but 7 downwards don't feel I will ever screw up contact.It's only an accuracy issue not a contact one.

[Zeph]

Average 150-160 yards. 7i is the lowest club I feel very comfortable hitting into the green.

[RocketSauce]

my average 7 iron is 140 yards. thats the stick i will take out of the bag for a 140 yard shot

[Orange]

I hit my 9i 140-150... 8i in the 160s, so my 7i usually gets about 170s.

[Greg]

Ill hit mine 135 to just under 150, sometimes farther if i really hit it well. Sometimes at the range ill hit it farther, but when Im playing if I try to hit it more than 150 it turns into a terribly inaccurate shot ususally pushed to the left. Its the club I use on short par 3's. I wish i could hit all my irons farther, Im big and strong enough to. I'm 5'11", 200 lbs and in pretty good shape. The new irons I have now I think will help, but If i swing too hard I lose all control so a smoother swing is better than distance at any cost.

[Amused]

160-170 yards for me.

[MI Rob]

135-140 yards pretty consistantly for me.

[bogeyhitter25]

My perfect 7i distance is right at about 155-157.
