A standard 6 iron loft is 31 degrees, although that is the same loft as many 7 irons these days.

Is there a 6 iron golf club?

A 6 iron has a typical loft angle of 31°. However, there tends to be a slight variation in the loft angle of the 6 iron golf clubs offered by different manufacturers. Also, there are instances when the same manufacturer offers various models of 6 irons with different loft angles.

What club is 26 degree loft?

4 iron = 26 (180-210 yards) 5 iron = 28 degrees (160 to 190 yards) 6 iron = 31 degrees (140 to 180 yards) 7 iron = 34 degrees (130 to 170 yards)

How far does an amateur hit a 6 iron?

As we know the average driving distance (217 yards, which would be a swing speed around 85mph) we can extrapolate the following averages: 4 iron: 154 yards. 5 iron: 147 yards. 6 iron: 139 yards.

How far should a 70 year old man hit a 7 iron?

A 70-year-old man should be able to hit a seven iron roughly 135 yards. The 135-yards shot will vary depending on the use of steel or graphite golf equipment. Graphite shafted golf irons tend to go a bit further and make it easier for the senior golfer to launch the ball higher as well.

What is a 6 iron used for in golf?

1-, 2-, and 3-irons are called long irons and have little loft, meaning they can send the golf ball the farthest. The 4-, 5-, and 6-irons are known as the middle irons and are used when the ball is about 150 to 170 yards from the hole.

How can you tell a 6 iron from a 9 iron?

6-iron = 150 yards. 7-iron = 140 yards. 8-iron = 130 yards. 9-iron = 120 yards.

How much does 1 degree of loft affect distance?

The distance difference between clubs is created equally by the increments in club length and loft angle. The calculations here are based on 1/2″ club length difference = 5 yards distance difference and every 4° loft angle difference = 5 yards distance difference.

What LOFT is a 5 wood?

For example, standard 5-woods are about 19 degrees. Comparing that to an 18-degree hybrid would be a fair test. While the 5-wood has one more degree of loft, it should also be slightly longer, making the distance potential of the two clubs about the same.
