Settle an argument

[HomerJSimpson]

5 iron is a long iron in my book. Mid iron = 6, 7,8 and short irons are 9, PW and other wedges

I don't understand the question!
It's a 5 iron

If you was to buy a set of irons then you would be sold a set that looked something like this:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,PW

So is that in the middle or not?

Maybe so, how ever I'd bet my right chuckle few on here will have hit a 2 iron so in MODERN terms which is where we play I'd suggest a 5 iron is a long

Modern sets have changed, there used to be 1&2 irons and PW and SW. Now most sets are 4-PW but people add gap wedge, lob wedge, approach wedge, sand wedge ....all in 2* gaps.

Pity they aren't skilled enough to use them

They probably have due to modern day jacked up lofts on irons that make you believe you hit them further than you really do.

One of my go to clubs is a bladed 2 iron. Love it like a brother. And it really peeves me off that sets start at 4 iron as if they expect you to need a hybrid.

Its all about ego Tiger. Thinking a 5 iron is a long iron means I can hit long irons really well...
