Without the tee, I normally hit my 5 iron about 205 but sometimes as low as 185 and as high as 220. How far do you hit your 5 iron without a tee?

I can reach back and kill mine about 190 yards, but half the time I might try that, I'd miss the shot in some way. My odds of hitting a well controlled 4 iron 185-190 are MUCH better.

Under normal circumstances, I feel 175 yards is my 5 iron distance.

240. I was going to turn PRO but the courses are way to short.

LOL - Was that on the frozen tundra of northern Canada?

Or do you have to hit it farther to take advantage of the fact that the season is so short?

off the i can hit it over 200 and from the fairway, 190-200

DAMN!!! Excuse me a minute while I go give my 5 iron a dirty look. I think I'll pour Geritol all over that sucker and take it to the range.

194 80% swing
203 100%

thats carry...add 10-20 off a tee playing to fairway

but then again ...i think this thread should be more about how precisly do you hit your 5 iron...more relavent to golf...who gives a rip to how far...

Hey,

With the short iron tee, I can hit my 5iron with 200yards.
If i used my 5hyrbid, it flies to 230yards. plus roll, 240 to 260yards.

Without the tee, its between 185 to 200 yards, depending on the ball I used.
