There are so many ways to 'skin a cat'. There are many different methods that people swing their clubs.

What method do you use? How far do you hit a 5 iron (arbitrary club)?

^^ pretty much the two plane swing, i carry a 5 iron about 200 yards, 210 with roll

who knows...5 iron 175

I love VJ's rhythm and classic golf swing. I've emulated that in my swing since I started playing golf and I always hit fades. But lately, I've been trying to hit draws, so now I have a 2 plane swing which starts out steep, and shallows out on the downswing, which gives me a nice penetrating draw. Not so much Furyk like, but more Jay Haas or Fred Couples.

1 plane... I think I rarely use my 5-iron, but consider it my 170-180 club depending upon conditions. It falls between a little 7-wood and a big 6-iron, both of which I'm more comfortable with.

I try one, ends up two - 5 iron about 200 with roll.

I try to keep my swing as simple as possible, as few moving parts as possible.

5-iron is 175ish.

Who knows what my swing is, but I Grip it and rip it, although I don't really rip it, hitting a 5 iron about 175-180

You missed off the fourth option of "haven't got the foggiest idea mate". Hit 5 iron about 195.

Two plane. 5-iron = 160 and 175 off tee with roll

natural I swing how my body feels like. I hit my 5 iron 150 to 200 depending on the day =).

two plane - coming well inside on the backswing, very flat at top of backswing, then falls more or less into plane on the downswing/follow through. Most often straight to slight draw... 5 iron about 185, just about all of which is carry, not more than about 5-10 feet of release on impact, unless green is nicely baked.

I have a two plane swing, but I try to feel like I'm swinging with a one plane swing.

5-iron: 160 yards (if I actually hit it well. .)

I think mine is "Too Plain".

I hit my 5 iron about 180 avg. If I have a 180 yard shot to the green, and there's a lake behind the green, I'll hit it 210 with the same stroke that I was counting on 180. On the other hand, if there's a lake in front, and it needs 160 to carry, my 5 iron tends to go 158 (again, same 180 yard swing!).

Just trying to keep it real!

I'm Inconsistent, and I approve this message!

i'm a one plane and a half, on good days it's a one plane and on bad days it's only a half.
