FIM-92A Stinger,,,, will make my own divot.....
Very smooth easy 7 iron.....If only I could tell myself that on the course instead of pulling out an 8 iron. LOL.
I'll oust myself as the 8 iron dude!! 7 would be too much for me from that distance and i'd rather take a good swing than try to float something in there. Chalk the distance up to being six foot five 220.
need a 4th for that :P
A wedge ................... and .................. then a second wedge.
there is a huge question mark floating above my head right now...
You think you can step up with the big boys Jarred??? Let's do it up next summa!!

Well let's hold off on it for a bit and we'll chat down the road Jarred about just setting up something small and fun...if we can!
if only you knew what you are in for Johnny boy. lol, just kidding s'all good bro
7 iron with 36° loft gets me there.:thumbsup
6 iron (31°).
#5 Hybrid - 25 degrees
Last season this was a smooth 6i for sure.
I'm adjusting lofts going into next season to fit with my hybrids better, so it will probably end up being a 7i.
Depending on my day - it is between my 6 and 5 iron. And my iron lofts are more old school than current iron lofts.
I play in Calgary, elevation almost 3,500 feet above sea level. On a flat par 3 this summer, 170 yards to the pin, I played a full 5 iron, aimed at left corner of green with slight cut on the ball, came in perfectly, hit 10 yards short of the pin, and rolled up 5 yards short of the pin. I two putted for a routine par. My 5 iron was 27 degrees loft, 37.5 inches long, with a Precision Rifle 7.0 shaft. I was trying for a smooth, controlled swing, which came off exactly as I planned.
Before I read on I have to quote Geoffrey here and agree with him, this is exactly what I would do in this case.
And there's a very good chance the ball is 170yds from where I hit it. Unfortunately it's probably not on the short stuff. :laughing:
Distance control I don't have a problem with; it's left and right control that is a problem. :wallbash
I'm assuming though this is from the fairway, because if it's off a tee I'm going with an easy 8i. At least a club longer (which shows another one of my major problems :shhh:).
I'm a 4 iron, but Ive replaced my 4I with a 9 wood the past few years :redface Then again, my PW is only about a 90 yard club and a SW I use for exactly that... in the sand cause if I hit a sw from the fairway, i better be within 60 yards :-)
Can't hit an iron worth a crap.... but I am relatively consistent given I hover between a 9 and 11 handicap. Love them wairway woods :-)
On a good day, if I stand straight, I am 5' 8 1/2", 195 pounds. But at age 60, I finally realize I have wasted most of my life swinging too hard, with shafts that are too stiff for me. I am building a new set this winter, it is going to have a 38" 5 iron, with a much more flexible shaft, on the order of 290 cpm's.
60 years old swinging a 7.0! damn man! all the 60 year olds i know are swinging 5.0 or reg / senior flex.
