I hit my 7 iron one club longer than my 8 iron and one club shorter than my 6 iron.

**Ed_Bighead** · July 27, 2009

125-130

The 7iron is my honey club, 175yds is very comfortable.

I kust pulled out my notes from range work that i did one year ago. I used to hit mi 7 iron 184.

I'm a big swinger so I hit mine 165 - 170 comfortably. Of course, I'm 6'3 and 235lbs so hitting my irons longer seems to come naturally.

169-179. easy does it. i'm 6'5'', so i get more natural swing speed with the same length club.

If I swing well I can hit my 7 iron about 135. But historically the 7-iron has been a tough club for me to swing. One afternoon I probably shanked 90 balls at the range with it (you can imagine the looks I got).

However, that experience was a sign I still had to work on my swing mechanics. Now I use the 7 iron any chance I can. The better I can hit with the 7 iron, then I know my swing is on the right track.

I hit the ball about 70 yards, and the clump of dirt goes about 120.

In all seriousness though...my 7 iron is somehow my anti-club...I'd rather crank a delofted 8, or take an easy swing on a 6 and hope for the best. Honestly...makes me bummed out thinking about it ha ha.

**c4m** · July 27, 2009

probably around 160, 165 if i hit it real clean

I'm in between two choices. These days I'm getting a 7 iron out 165-175 yards.

In some ways I wish I was 6'3" and up near 200lbs. Like senorchipotle mentioned, it takes so little effort to kill the ball with that size. Well except for the effort in learning how to swing properly. Anyway, my buddy is about 6'1", pretty thick, probably near 195lbs, but solid. He can pump his out 200yards if need be. Doesn't usually, but has it if he wants it. But, I'm 5'10", not 6'something. Oh well,I can consistently expect to have a nice look at birdie or eagle.
