Long irons are possibly the hardest clubs to hit for amateur golfers. Incredibly hard to strike well, and when you do they often don’t …

I use a 3 iron. Prefer to hit that than any hybrid.
this is good info – I was at the range Wednesday and put into practice other tips from your videos on irons and while I did see some distance improvement, the angle was definitely lower. I'm 51 and have played my whole life but sparingly, so this tip on the hybrids makes sense. My iron strikes are way better after watching but I think I'll be working on getting at least a 4 hybrid. I love the logo as well – you should brand that on some merch
Hybrid is longest club. Keeps going off to right
3iron but only for under trees to get out low
5 iron
Longest iron I carry is a 6 iron !!
5 iron
Carried a 1 iron for years but age catching up. 3 iron longest now.
My set up 4 hybrid ,6 hybrid 7, 8, 9, Pw , Sw !
Long irons are as π’you say limited when your speed isn't as high as you would need.
Add hybrids to you set !
I have a 3 iron Taylormade Gapa Mid which i hit 220 meters off the tee and off the fairway. A great club to use in the wind. Stingers all day.
I am putting a 4 wood, 16.5 deg in the bag this week. I have found that i over draw rescue clubs when under pressure, so i am sticking with my long irons..Good vid, thanks.
5 iron then fairway woods but am thinking about adding a 4 iron

My longest iron is a 5 i 25Β°. It does exactly what you showed with the 4 iron shot. No matter how well I strike the 5i-and I hit it pretty well,- it just wont stop on the greens due to low height and low descent angle- coming from my moderate swing speed. So my mind is made up- Replace the 5i with a 25Β° hybrid, which will sit nicely with my 22Β° hybrid.
2 iron
Four iron
Chris I'm a realist which means I'm disappointed with the outcome of this video, that said I've been struggling with everything you stated in this video, I'm the golfer with the 85 mph swing speed and I do everything you said in the video, lol but I want a 4 and 5 iron in my bag because my Ego says I'm have the swing speed to do so lol, I needed to see this video in the worst way so Thank you for that, it is so true because my go to clubs are a 4 and 5 hybrid, I even had my 4 and 5 iron cut shorter by 1/2 inch to help and it didn't help, I'm leaving my Ego in the parking lot no doubt, hybrids are in the bag, Thanks again,
I carry a 3 iron but I also carry a 23 degree hybrid which depending on the circumstances, I utilize in place of my 4 iron. Thank you!
5 iron then into 4 hybrid for me.
5 iron, 4 hybrid struggle with both hitting them good less then 200yrds
My irons are from a 3i up to the wedges. No hybrids. I rarely use the 3i but I do use the 4 and 5i's a bit. I really don't have too much trouble hitting them although my distance isn't great (I'm 75). But they DO go straight! David, USA
My longest iron is a 5 iron
3 iron
I carry a 5-iron…very difficult to handle..
I have a utility 4 iron
Chris. Great Instruction in your videos. Thank you.
I've got a question. Should my hands be as far forward at impact using a 4 iron as opposed to say an 8 iron? In other words, should my shaft angle be the same with all irons?
