Length vs Ball striking?

140......7i.......... Off 10.......

Have an extra wheatabix homie!:rofl:

Honest though!! To be fair the R11 went further

Hitting the ball a realistic distance in the desired direction has to be the cornerstone of good golf.

H'mm.

Same distance as me. And I'd suposedly have to give you 3 shots in a match!

That's rich coming from someone who needs their 7-iron to get to 150 (can't reach with your 8) :ears::clap:

Hmm indeed. I can hit mine a good deal further, and you'd have to give me an extra 10 shots over Homer!! So to answer the OP, I'd go for properly rather than length. I can already hit it plenty far enough - but getting it in the right direction , and more consistently is more the trick.

If only such a club existed...

Homer, I have to confess to using you as my lab rat here.

Isn't it funny how most say correct striking rather than length, then the minute you question distance, yours in this situation every one gets defensive :rofl:

I'm fat from a big hitter as just one will confirm, but really lads, practice what you preach!:ears:

Personally my length is just fine and have no complaints about my ball striking.

I don't want my irons to go any further. As someone else said you either need more wedges or you're further away from the green when you have to start making partial swings.

A bit longer? Yep
A bit straighter? Nope, just as long as the shot shape was consitent I can adjust for it.

Why wouldn't anyone want to be a club longer? Madness
