Scary long 7 iron

[nickyj4]

Played with a boy on Tuesday night that put his 7 iron past my driver, he was hitting it 250+ consistantly. He hits most of his clubs a distance but he says he cant hit his 3 iron as far as this, just seems to get perfect contact. Quite amazing to watch

Yep, that is long even for long standards!

 

[Birchy]

Sure it wasn't a 1 iron with a 7 stamped on it

 

[fundy]

Expect if hes hitting it that far hes delofting it a fair bit, would explain why he struggles to hit the 3 iron as far too

Anyhow, whos putting the popcorn on

Delofting a bit!!! Turning it into a 1-iron more like.

Fair play to him. Was the 7 definitely not an old style 1?

 

[USER1999]

Was it a taylormade 7 iron?

What was the carry distance. I do not include roll out when judging yardage with irons.

Joe millers 7 iron is 230 so 250 is mahooosive

i once hit a 9 iron 217 yards

I was down wind (blowing a Gail) and a bit thin, so 250 for a 7 iron sounds about right.

No it wasnt a Taylor made, didnt look like he was delofting but wasnt paying that much attention to his ball position. This was carry as fairways are soft and the balls aren't rolling, he plays off 6 and if he could putt he would probably be scratch. If I hadnt seen it myself I wouldn't have believed it

wow

someone who's probably too long for this forum, as opposed to the majority who just feel inadequate discussing length here :clap:

 

[Rooter]

interested in the physics behind this, pick a fairly standard loft AP2 7 iron at 34*, what launch angle and ball speed would be required for this distance?

Once it a 64 degree lob wedge close to 150 yards, caught it a bit thin, air mailed the green I was going for, hit a wall, ricocheted high into he air and onto the downslope of the 2nd fairway, which it rolled down a good distance. I needed my 8 iron to get back to the green I was aiming for originally.

Alright, I'll say it. 250yd carry with a 7-iron? I don't believe it.
