Hello.
I havent posted here in a while. I've been playing quite a bit and lowered my handicap a lot lately.
I've been considering buying a new set of irons, which is what spurred this thread.
I googled club distances and found I am kind of all over the board as far as distances go.
The chart I am look at is this:

Anyways.
7i. I hit consistantly 150 yards. Just as the chart says. However, that is the only place I am close.
4i. The chart says at the long side, 185y. I can hit mine 215y. I've actually been teeing off with it lately because my wood game has gone in the toilet.
If I can hit the 4i 30y further than "most?", why am I on par with my 7i?
This may be a silly post, but I'd sure like to understand it better. 8i, I hit about 120y, PW, about 100.
I'm guessing a lot of this is swing speed? Can I assume that my swing speed slows down the shorter club I use? My measured swing speed with my 6i is about 85mph.
Thx in advance.
