How far can you hit P.W and i9?

[mont86]

Just interested what is the average and or you best distance.
My i9 is good for about 120yds..Afriend said he hit his PW 160 yds yesterday..That seems a little long.

PW 125 yards, 9I 145 yards. I only messured this last week on the practice ground. Man wish I would have done it sooner as it really helps with approach shots. I have to find a longer area to messure all my irons. I hit shots until i was happy that half a dozen were solid strikes, then messure to the middle of the six balls eith a trundle wheel.

9 Iron about 90, PW about 65. AW about 80, so i've got everything covered.

If I thin my PW it seems like it goes as far as my driver but on purpose only about 110.

My 9 Iron goes about 120 when I am making good contact, when I hit my father in laws 9 iron a few weeks ago that did go over 150. He has Cleveland TA5.

On a normal day, I hit my 9 iron about 128. I can yank it about 135, but I rarely swing 100% with my irons.

I almost never use my PW. I have a 53* wedge that I can knock down and stop on a dime, so there's no use. I basically keep it in my bag for looks. I suppose if I was to ever hit it, i'd look to the 115 range or so.

I don't play long irons. Most (and I mean 90% at least) hit their PW's 150+ regularily. But I can still kick all their asses.

Boy, I never hit my PW or my 9....if I do it's very, very rare.

I use my driver, 3 or 5 wood (second shot on par 5's) or my 8 iron & sand wedge.

My 8 is good from 150 - 155 I think my 9 is 135ish and the pw 120 or so.

My PW is about 110-115, and my 9i is probably about 120-130. Like Rockford, I don't swing as fast with my irons as I do with my woods... probably about 10mph slower.

[VtDivot]

I rarely hit PW, but my other 3 wedges get quite a workout.

[ezra76]

My two favorite irons They only two I can hit straight. I'll pull a 9 between 135-145 depending on the lie and downhill/uphill. A PW is usually from 110-130 3/4 to full. I drop down to a 50 or 54* wedge once I'm around or inside the 100yd. marker for wedge shots. My new PW is also 47* and a 1/2 in. long so it goes further than any I've ever had.

[goatster]

my pw is usualy good for around 110 the 9 is good for 120-125.i could hit both farther but i hate to try to muscle up short irons because i lose control of them.
those distances are about 85-90% swings.

[mont86]

So there are people that can jack a ball out to 150 with a i9, thats alot better then I can do. 150 for me is i7 with an easy swing,as swings go. Like a few people have mentioned here, the harder I swing, the worse it gets.

[APowell1990]

9 Iron= 145-155
PW= 130-140
SW= ???-120

I hit the ball a good ways (I am 15)

[wirehair]

PW usually goes almost to the green. 9I just into the rough past the frog's hair.

[gwlee7]

depending on conditons and/or type of shot I need to hit:

9 iron ~ 135/140
PW ~ 125
52* ~ 110
SW ~ 95/100
LW ~ 80

I do so much mixing and matching depending on what I need to do that I might hit the 52* gap wedge instead of the sand wedge if it is really windy or knock it down under an overhanging limb. I try to practice a variety of shots with all of the wedges because you never know what you're going to need.
