May seem like a really dumb question, but, was your clubface/grooves clean? The reason I ask this is that long ago, I played with a guy who could hit the ball a ton, but didn't know that much about the game. On a par 3, 176 yards, he hits an 8 iron over the green about 10 yards. I told him that it looked like a flyer in the air. He said that it was impossible to hit a flyer from the tee, but then when I looked at his club, the grooves were packed with dirt and you could barely see the face.
If it is a flyer, you can hit the ball a little farther w/o additional swing speed due to lack of backspin.
I'd be more sure than Ivory is pure that this didn't happen to you, but it's worth mentioning, IMO.
