Favorite Iron (2-9) and why?

Question

What is your favorite iron and why? Mine is the 7 Iron or "Uncle Wiggly". It is just the ultimate utility club. What about you?

Answer 1

i like the 4.  decent distance and loft.  use it w/ great success to punch out of the woods when i stray into them.

Answer 2

A Kenny-smooth 8-iron.  153 every time on an even lie.

Answer 3

I like my eight iron.  I think the length of the club just works best for me.  I always feel comfortable with this club in my hands, and as a result I tend to hit better shots.

Answer 4

My favorite is the 8 iron. I know that with it in my hands, that no matter what kind of shot I need to play into the green I can hit it.

Answer 5

I love my 1 iron.  Low and straight about 215 yards down the middle, and especially useful for those cut and hook shots out of trouble, or a low scooter out from under the trees.

All you guys that said 7 or 8 iron - how many of you lay up with a 3-wood off the tee so you can hit from 140 to 160 yards from the green and use your favorite club?  Just something to consider in the course management venue.

Answer 6

I'd have to say my 8-iron.  I hit it consistently better than the rest of the irons in my bag.

Answer 7

8-iron, because I can use it almost anywhere, and I can trust that club.

Answer 8

My favorite iron is an eight iron because i hit great.

Answer 9

I love my sand wedge.  I play Tour Edge irons and my wedge is where I make the big stroke saving shots.  I have learned how to spin the ball, release the ball, and have lowered my handicap a lot in the last few years due to practice, practice, practice!

Answer 10

got to go with the 7, if youve seen tin cup you know why

Answer 11

i absolutely love my 9 iron. that is the main club that i have practiced with since fourth grade. i have practiced with it so much that i feel very confident with every stroke. i can also control the club very well, getting the right amount of loft and the longevity of the flite of the ball.

Answer 12

3iron is my favorite, easy to get out of fairway trouble and I just like swinging my long irons

Answer 13

I think that my 7 iron is my favorite and also the most versatile club in my bag, I played two miserable weeks without it this summer while it was getting repaired.

Answer 14

8 iron. I hit pins from between 145-160 with this baby. MX-23 x stiff true temper. The best club i have.
