how far do you hit an 8-iron?

Yup. I have had 135 to the pin and I jack my 8 iron easily 50+ yards over the green210 yards if I skull it just right
Still going.....I saw David Simms (Tin Cup) hit a 7 iron well over 250 yards
That's about me as well. 150 if I really hit it pure.140-145 stock. 150 if I need a few extra
What's funny is, while I like hitting this club, I think it probably has my widest range of almost 20 yards at times.135-145ish, depending on the day.
For serious. I'm 46 and only about a half a club maybe one some days different than I was in my 20s my drives are shorter though.... you really need to work on stretching loosen them hips upAs a 25 year old..............155-165
Now as a 52 year old.........125-135
Age is a #####.
My 7-8 are really consistent. Also strangely my 5 iron. Can’t hit a 4 iron anymore to save my lifeYep. It’s my most accurate/consistent club too.
the whole golf exercise business is exploding. It's also confusing as hell. I am going to start doing some basic stretches for hamstrings and torso - also bought these speed stix and a mph monitor.How much do the clubs and ball you use add to your distance? Does anyone do specific exercises to increase distance?
yeah, the golf improvement industry in general is insane whether its exercises to improve your technique or fitness. was curious if the guys in this thread that are hitting there 8 iron 20-30 yards farther than mine just naturally hit it that far with just your average clubs or if they consciously do something to get that extra distance.the whole golf exercise business is exploding.

yeah, but I'm still playing with the same lynx irons and pin seeker woods that I got for graduation in 1988 (regripped many times), so I'm sure I could get a more with some technology, but I only play 10-15 times a year and shoot 74-80 most days. Buddy at work just bought a driver and a 3 wood that he had fitted for him............$1100 total. SMH, I still beat him by 10-15 when we play.For serious.
