Haha you and me both. Well maybe not straight but much less sideways.
 
Good question. It's the 6i and 7i as these are the two I have been using for my swing work on the range. Right now I have confidence in both those and everything going down the bag from there. If I had to pick one though I would say 7i by a slight margin. you saw how well the 7i works for me on 18 yesterday.
 
I think this depends a bit set to set - if I'm playing a set of G series, for instance, I'm going to be a bit more comfortable with the longer irons, but not a ton. But in general, it's probably the 7i. That's probably the last club I expect to get the ball reasonably close with.
 
Right now it's an 8 iron for me. Anything more and I simply have no idea what I'm doing.

Ha! Yeah it worked pretty well. Funny I hit 7 iron the hole before that.

LOL, its the best swing thought ever, "please go that way, please?"
 
Heavenwood?
 
Good or bad, I have the same confidence in my all my clubs. Some are more precise in distance and movement, but I approach every shot the same.
 
Any iron above 7i is a crap shoot for me. Confidence comes back when I have a 5 wood in hand.
 
I like my 6 iron and down, and even then certain clubs better than others.
 
6 or 7 iron for me. From there up I'm expecting to hit the green or have a short chip. Down much from there and I'm happy getting the ball elevated and finding it after I hit.
 
I feel real good with 8i through wedges in my hand. Confident with those clubs in my hands and can take more direct aim at the pin.
 
I feel really good hitting to my 4 iron, but put a 3 iron in my hand and confidence really starts to go down. Maybe it's time to find a 3 hybrid I feel good about hitting.

Now on the other hand I have zero confidence whatsoever hitting anything less than a 9, no confidence in any of my wedges which is not a good place to be
 
8 iron for me. 7 comes and goes too much at this point. With 8 iron on down I feel good about my chances of sticking it on.

The funny thing is, is that I felt that way with all the iron sets I've played over the years.
 
8i and in I guess.

Watching th Open Championship this morning. Azinger and company were talking about a players transition club. It got me to thinking about my game, and how I strategize when playing a hole. For me it's 7 iron. From 7 iron through the wedges I feel confident over the ball. When I have a 6 iron or longer I tend to play a little more guarded. What club is it for you?

Great topic Kevin. I heard thst on The Open and it made me think. I kind of agreed with what Ainger said in whoever he was talking about. For me it's the 6 to 5.

Im pretty confident after hitting Nebgolfers D100 hybrids this past week, I'm going to be looking for one of them in 5.
 
I think for me it's 7i. 6i-4i can be hit or miss, lately they've been more hit thankfully although today I chunked my 5i twice. 7i through wedges and I'm pretty confident I know where the ball is going to go.
 
Tough to say. As long as I'm swinging okay, I am pretty confident with everything.

If the swing gets loose, though, the cutoff is probably a PW. Although the 5W feels just as comfortable.

Spot on with you, getting past 7i is when I start to have a few doubts. Hell, I would rather hit 5h than 6i.
 
FO me it would be my 8i. I am more confident with my 6H than my 7i.
 
I feel like I hit six iron the most on the course so I am pretty comfortable with it, but I can miss a green with the best of them with any club.
 
I'm right there with you Kevin in that it's my 7i. I'm very confident with that club on down. 6i & 5i it's a 50/50 proposition at best. (And that's referring to making solid contact) even after solid contact it's hoping it goes where I want.

Get me to my heavenwood or 3w & now we're talking. Confidence goes back up.
 
I would say 7 iron. 6 can give me fits. I've got a couple par fours at my course that require a draw from the tee and an extremely accurate drive on the other. Either one of those holes are out of my range for driver but I know I can hit 7 iron from the tee and leave my self a semi easy shot into the green.
 
That was the first time I had heard that today, too. It's the 5i for me. I feel pretty confident with just about any other iron.
