I hit a 6 iron about 170 Saturday. Then I hit a 7 iron that wouldn't even carry some f'd up little par 3 playing 155 or some crap.

Your 7 iron's got some juice.

Yeah it just depends, it's really a 6 iron so thats about the same. I hit it 155-160 some days and 170-175 some days. I could probably pick up some distance if I didn't hit it so high

But if I hit a green, it usually stops, which is nice

I had a 6 iron onto an island green Saturday, a lot like the one on the back at L'Augusta, within 5 or 6 feet. One of the few shots I'll actually post about from that round.



I still 2 putted.

Well I think I'm gonna crank the covert down to 8.5 and see what she does next round. Wasn't mad at the shots I was hitting, but I still think I'm above my optimum trajectory. Pretty soon I'll be on a 4 degree driver as a band aid for whatever it is in my swing that makes me hit it high


ETA : my shots are majestic though

8.5


I'd really like to try that. Never have hit an 8.5* driver.

That's the main reason I bought it. It can go from 8.5-12.5 which is more than most of the others. I haven't tried it yet but I will next round

I hit my R11 set to 8

A shaft will do way more in getting the ball to quit ballooning from my experience

So, are you saying a steel shaft in a 9.5* 910, or a 10.5* R11 will move it out there and keep the trajectory lower more so than hitting an 8.5* of either type club?

I'm talking in terms of me. Not you.

I wouldn't call what my shots do ballooning really, just high throughout. I do it with all clubs. My old driver would still go a pretty good ways on occasion but nver got any roll because it was falling from so high

Yeah, they seem to be a thing of the past. Kind of like white belts. I'm gonna try it.



The steel shaft, not the white belts.
