The 4 iron spot.....


DNice26

Recommended Posts

4 iron.... and longest iron in the bag.

 

I might consider a utility iron in this spot at some point, but I would have to do some work on trackman to make sure the distance gaps worked.

Just curious - any guys out there with speed but who struggle with launch/spin in their long game, try a 7 wood?

Huge fan of the 7 wood. Hard to find them with a stiff enough shaft. I swing a 6 iron at 88 mph, I just prefer fairway metals over hybrids. I can hit a 4 iron but am more consistent on distance with a 7 wood. 

 

Got a Cobra F9 7-8 wood and changed shaft to lower torque — an Adila Phenom 5 wood shaft that I bought used for $20. Stable and does not balloon. Head is small enough and the rails make it an option for any lie. Also like the Titleist 7 woods and the Callaways.

I'm struggling with this spot currently (210-215 club).  Love the 745 4 iron, but find that it spins up on me quite a bit and is not effective in windy conditions.  It's a shame too because I hit it very well, but it just gets clobbered into the wind for some reason.  In ideal conditions it's great and carries the number I need, but it just doesn't stand a chance in the wind.

 

Tried the U45 23 degree - but don't find it any better - launches higher and is very forgiving, but doesn't really cover any more distance than even my 745 5 iron - really weird results for me.

 

Now have a 545 4 iron en route that hopefully will be the ticket here

Just moved to the '16 Apex 23° in my signature.  Definitely more headcovers than I want but far more consistent from 200 - 215.

How do you like the Apex ‘16?  I was checking one of those out the other day as a possible replacement for my 4 iron. 

Love the fact that you can change the sole weight.  Allowed me to put a few grams of hotmelt near the toe to make sure I pretty much eliminated the hook.  VERY solid feeling and easy to elevate as well as knock down to cheat the wind.  Doesn't hurt they can be had dirt cheap ?

What saved my 4i in my bag was the Xcaliber Rapid Taper shaft. When I got the 75g S flex shafts to test I did it with 6 iron heads. I had a few different flexs and the ease at which they launched and flew was eye opening to say the least. 

Then I started to put them into hybrids and this is where the 75g shafts Really come to life. Launch and control thats almost comical at how easy they become to use.  

For myself I stopped carrying a 4 iron many years ago with some sort of iron based hybrid.

The Rapid Taper shafts changed that drastically. Since they worked so well in a hybrid head the next choice was a 4i. It transformed the head into the favorite club in the bag. Gets up quickly with a strong flight. An easy almost lazy swing yields huge results. You no longer have to work the shaft to get the 4 iron up into the air. It just goes. 

I had this shaft first in a Maltby PTM head and now I'm gaming the Hogan PTxPro. That head is way smaller than the PTM and should not be one of the best performing heads in the bag.. but it is.

Ping i500 irons and I currently have a Cleveland utility iron in the 4 iron slot.  I’m having a hard time with this spot though.  The Cleveland uhx is marked 4 iron but is 20 degrees and I still hit it about 30 yards longer than my 5 iron.  I’m starting to accept that this is just gonna be a big gap in my bag and I’m going to have to learn how to better take some off of the 4 utility.  Before this I had a 19 and 23 degree hybrid but found  I hit the 23 degree hybrid too far when I hit it well and ballooned it a little more than I was comfortable with.  I’m currently playing to a 6.2 and iron play is my strong suit but I don’t have the swing speed to even consider going back to a set 4 iron.  Maybe something game improvement like a g700/710 would be a possibility...anyways, it’s a tough spot in my bag that I d9nt really have figured out.
