Figured out my distance issue.

I was playing 18 and this guy keeps telling me that he knows all about golf clubs and all that. NOt really interested much but he did let me hit his 7 iron on a par 3 so I could try it out.
I hit it the same distance as I do my 5 iron so Im figuring its either the heavier swing weight or xtra stiff shafts in my clubs that is keeping my distance shorter than it might be.
Not really sure I want to give up any accuracy for 20 extra yards, though. Doesnt seem like a very good tradeoff given that I can just club up to get the same distance.

You only hit your 5 iron 2 yards longer than your 7? That's more than an equipment issue! :)
