What to hit from 170yds out...

[Bouche]

Sorry about that Chief. There was no intention of it being rude. I was just simply saying that I dont really deloft my club when I hit. In fact sometimes I dont even take a divit.

I said smack for a reason. I could have said alot meaner. My apopologies

It,s all good. My apologies as well. Internet misunderstanding

I would hit a 6 iron.

[adam]

7 iron

[BogeyGolf]

5 iron for me

[OutOfTheRough]

and this post is back alive! Might be interesting to see if anyone has changed their 170 club over the last 3 years...

[memorex88]

Medium 5 or full 6. I polled a 5 since I have more control with that iron at that distance.

[Sunny D]

I would be a smooth 7

[leftylucas]

5 iron for me

Unless you're into a stiff breeze at Hawkesbury then its driver

[rtto5588]

I'd probably pull out a 5 and then pray that I make solid contact.

[Gropper]

Last time i voted it was a 5 iron. Now its a 7. hey cool i've gotten longer!

[atomic]

Same 5 iron for me. Although I'll say that the likelihood of it hitting the green is much better.

[nokids]

4 iron.

I'm still proud of my length.

[leftylucas]

You're full of doggy doo-doo, you hit a 6 iron for that distance at best, probably a 7

[Break68]

4 iron.

I'm still proud of my length.

I knew I should have called BS on that one.

[nokids]

If I ever learn to swing through the ball with my irons these yardages will increase. But for now, it is what it is...

PW - 110
9i - 115
8i - 130
7i -140
6i - 150
5i - 160
4i - 170
3i - 180
5w - 200
3w - 230
1w - 250

[Break68]

No wonder you couldn't hit PX 6.0's.

From 170yds I'd like to hit more greens. Might actually help my score.

[mpare]

It's difficult to hit those greens from the trees, isn't it?

It's difficult to hit greens from the fairway. LOL!!!

[mpare]

Too funny. However, I know that if you join us in Belleville you will hit those greens! I'll make sure of that.

Can I change my club choice to a cut 2 hybrid? In 50 years of golf I'm sure I've tried a cut shot a few times.

Are you going to hit my shots for me???

I'd have to change irons - but am unsure to what as I'm still figuring out my Burner Plus's. I had answered 5 iron but I've hit my 6 iron 180+. So it's likely a 7.

All that means, unless you've started a fitness routine or greatly improved your swing, is that the BPs have stronger lofts, so you are still hitting a "5" iron, it just says 7 on the sole instead. LOL!!!

[rtto5588]

Have to agree with Johnny here. I was testing out the TM Burners during demo week, and I was hitting the 7 iron a good high 160's to low 170's. Tested out the adam's cb's, and back to 150-160's. Using my Srixon's now at the same sim and in the 150's-160's. I think the burner's have stronger lofts. That or they're much better sticks then the Adams and Srixons.

There was a 1" diff in lofts between my old rac's and the newer Burners. I agree this has something to do with it but the majority of the difference is due to my swing start. Every since I read to start the swing with your hands pretending you are pulling on a chain (Golf Digest - sometime in 2010); I've been pounding it much further. (Back willing) If I could spend more time in the 'range' maybe the distance would help more.

Good to hear your swing is improving!

[Husband]

It'd be an 8 iron for me.

After careful reconsideration, I am changing my answer. When faced with 170 yards this season, I will hit Gap Wedge, followed by Sand Wedge.
