No it wouldnt be a better question because it them makes a complete mockery of the entire comparison.
Tiger hit his 7I with a slight tailwaind, which makes a big difference to yardages, in order for the comparison to stand that is why i said slight tailwind also.
I would say that 99.9% of people on here know exactly what a "slight tailwind" is and only those who are extremely pedantic will question it

Normally about the 130-140yd mark when hitting well. 28 handicap.
It's all very well how far we each hit the ball but how far compared to handicap would be interesting. I read an article a few months back whena tour coach said 28 handicappers should hit 190 yard drives. So 7 iron 130 not too bad in comparison. Normally drive 200-220. 3 wood goes the same though off the tee.

In calm condition 165 on the fly, give or take 2-3 yds for strike quality.
I reckon 200+ on hardish ground with a tail wind. 20yds extra in the air and 20 yds run.
If I really let fly, it could go further but anywhere

around 150 yards probably. not a very consistant iron striker just not.
Irrelevant. Its not how far you hit a club but how accurately. No good hitting it 170 yards and missing the green 10 yards left or right. I've never subscribed to hitting a club xx yards. Its whats best for each shot at the time.

That's so right. I try and hit around 80% on full shots, in the knowledge that if I need that bit more, it's there.
Lash it & lose accuracy.

I agree, on the driving range 150yds tops but on the course 130ish.

If there was a light tail wind and i wanted to hit the ball 150 yards, I would take a 7 iron on the course. Normally a steady 6 iron. Although i have just today bought some Ping G10's so my yardages are a bit messed up now.

Between 140 and 150 0n a good day I never try and hit my irons flat out though as I tend to loose control if I do.

165-170yrds.
Hard ground an slight wind behind on our 8th, have managed 190yrds. 2ft from pin too!

It all depends on the conditions and how the individual hits a ball.
Ive been 180 yds from a green with a 7 iron before and gone through the back, how do you measure the conditions that allowed that to happen?
On a still day I would expect to get 160/70 yds depending on how well I caught it.
On the other hand, I have been on a Links course and couldnt get a 7 iron 120yds no matter how well I hit it!

Are we talking "on the fly" here or total distance????
I hit a 7 iron yesterday out of the rough, slight wind behind, 175 yards, but about 25 yards of that was run as it bounced in front of the green and ran to the back.
I can't believe that somebody could hit a 7 iron 200 yards "on the fly"...when the average drive is about 230-240 yards, maybe 260 "with run"....
