Gotta account for all the 20 yard tops and shanks.

I think on average when I play regularly I can get about 150yds.
helpjackoffhishorse
160y for me. I’m 56 years old. 138y seems low.

165 – but what is a 7 iron, some are 6 irons in disguise
BlankJungle
Does this include beginners who just hit every club 75 yards in an unknown direction?
MOEzuez
120-140
Mcluvinn11
I probably hit my good shots 165 and the bad ones like 110 so that is probably fairly accurate
BanananaSlice
165 yards is my 7 iron.
SquirtlexSquadx
7 irons can go past 100?
gsloth1212
Does this include poorly hit shots? When I hit my 7 iron well it goes 150-160 but if you throw in my more than occasional topped/chunked shots then 138 average is probably close to where I’m at

I average around 110 a round (sorry, not trying to show off lol) and 138 yards with a 7-iron is about right at my skill level. I peg my 6-iron at about 150 yards and I’m lucky to hit my driver over 200 unless I get some delicious desert rolls.

7i is my 165 club (30.5*)
Logical_Tank_6220
I don’t always hit my sand wedge 160 yards, but when I do it’s from a green side bunker.
Playful-Team-1634
I hit mine about 200… but my friend who hits his 170 is better than me lol
upthereds84
I know a guy that hits his 7 from 180 and can’t putt for shit. That’s why I love this game
NothingButTheTea
I knew you cucks were lying! Talking about 150! We all know that’s roll out!

I mean it would depend entirely on what data they’re using and from what population.
Is it collected from an app like arccos? surveyed? trackman?
Does “male golfer” include 7 year olds?
Are they excluding shanks and tops?
Without any of that context this number is basically meaningless. Even if some of the variable are controlled you’re lumping in 80 year olds with 20 year olds and there’s still roughly no value in this number even if it is accurate.
And furthermore who cares? This number has 0 relevance to anyone’s progress or improvement.
NSFWnazi
When these numbers are mentioned, is this carry or total
NinjaGoalie97
Everyone in here low key flexing saying it’s low, but it seems right-ish for me lol. I’m 27.
digibaz
I hit my 7 170-175
CATG0D
That’s my stock 185 all day. 12.5 handicap
Reasonable-Gazelle88
This is the Internet…so I am here to say my stock 7i is 200 and if you are not within 10 yards of that you are less of a man and should just give up the game.
wacky8ball
I saw David Sims hit a 7 iron all the way down the road to the highway
CoffeeBoy80
I’m average af
ButterscotchObvious4
When I started out, 140 was my avg. A couple years later, and some work on my swing, I now avg out at 150.

Probably true but on this sub people carry it for 225 on avg

Iron distance is overrated. Give me consistency.
alionandalamb
From what I’ve seen on the driving range, the average male rolls it about 25 yards off the grass and fats it about 100 yards off the mats.
PlatinumCockRing
Jokes on them, I seem to hit all my irons 140ds.
Gmoney1412
This means nothing. Tell me average distance per handicap
Packtex60
I’m 63. Started back hitting balls with new equipment about two years ago after a 15 ish year pause. In my 40s I hit a 7 iron 150-155. Today I hit my 30 degree 7i 170-175. It’s absurd. The equipment manufacturers reduced lofts and created this big distance hole at the bottom end of the bag to sell wedges.

The average male must be a BITCH!
