My 7 iron is about my 160 yard club, could probably muscle out more but I don't swing hard.

Just under 170 for a normal full swing, I'll try to hit as far as 175 if I really want it to land soft (pin cut at the front over a bunker, a really hard green, or something).

181 yards average according to the GPS (full swing), but I can hit 120 yards with it xD, I voted 170 - 180 'cause I don't hit my drive 350 yards.

Cheers!

Im around 150 but don't really use my 7 iron much mostly my 6 or 8 i can hit these better for some reason.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

155 ish

Being twenty yards long or short of the target isn't the problem, being 20 yards left or right is. It's been getting better of late though.

Always the same problem with the irons. When I'm conservative and play a 7i for 140 I tend to hit it smoothly and sweetly, sending it 150 or even 155 ...... and off the back of the green. If I play for 150+ I might hit it a bit fat (overswinging or whatever) and end up short. Oi vay .........

Getting better tho'.

I have been playing for about 6 months and hit mine (straight) about 135-140 yds. Of course I'm a beginner and I'm 40 yrs old. I can hit it farther but it would probably involve some kind of calculus to obtain the distance given the inconsistent hooks and slices generated.

    • When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.    
    • Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight. 
    • Day 170 - Got some good work in on the short game, as well as more work on my priority piece. 
    • I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
