Had this conversation with some of the fellas last weekend, and I have talked about it on the forum here and there. My answer seems to change based on the year and the iron set itself. I used to love to hit a 4 iron, back during my HS playing days, it was my choice off the tee, and that lasted until hybrids really became more evolved. Once that happened, the 4 iron became a club that would get me nervous, I'd swing faster, try to lift it, and we all know what that result ends up as. Maybe 5 years ago, that feeling carried over to the 5 iron, and nowadays it's the 6 iron. With the exception of the Bridgestone JGR HF1 irons, I get a 5 or 6 iron in hand and I might as well just get ready for another shot nowhere near the green. Not only do I shy away from it, I end up trying to hit a club longer and taking some off of it, even when I know the 6 iron is the correct club for that situation.
Now I know not everyone is a headcase like me, and some probably don't get this feeling at all. But if you do, which iron in your bag causes you to get anxious? Hell, it might not even be an iron, but a club in general. One in which you might end up hitting something extra or less because you get the feeling the result is not going to be a good one.
