167 thats a standard 6iron for me lol

[Norwegiangolfer]

I'm 15 years old and i hit my 7-iron between 150-160m. Without cutting. Now proffesionals, especially Tiger Woods, should be able to cut a 9 iron 167,(or yards)

[lliammcbean]

@Norwegiangolfer

its yards and this was over 10 years ago, technology today allows everyone to increase distance

[lliammcbean]

@sandersuperfollador

its not so much the new club technology but ask any pro and they will tell you it is the ball technology that has helped increase distance

[muneyman68]

@Norwegiangolfer yeah pros dont hit cut 9-irons that far. they are really hitting 7 irons but it just says 9 iron on the bottom. deloft club

[dabom34]

@muneyman68 ehh...you might want to check your source on that one..

[muneyman68]

@dabom34 ehh! i don't need to....75% of all pros play strong irons. Tour players don't hit the ball that far with their irons on just speed and solid contact....it's delofting of club also. u don't know anything...How many tour players can really hit a true 9-iron 167 yards?! give me a break!

[dabom34]

@muneyman68 well some players do play strong irons, but not that strong...thats roughly 8* strong. Which no one does. Tiger woods, in his prime, was easily able to hit a 9 iron that far, he bombed the ball. Lots of tour players can do that today, bubba, dustin maybe, alvaro, thats one of the reasons that the pros are so damn good. Sorry pal, you are completely and utterly wrong on this one.

[muneyman68]

@dabom34 No ur completely and utterly wrong. Look at Dustin's bowed wrist at the top pal, and you named 4 players that can hit it that far. Some r the exception when they r lashing at the ball. what about the rest??? Look at pro's impact compared to average joe's impact. Pro has way less loft than average joe....why do you think tiger is hitting it farther than ever? SHAFT LEAN=DELOFTED FACE

[dabom34]

@muneyman68 if they deloft the club at impact, thats them doing the work, not the club. In your previous argument, you said that a 9 iron is really a 7 iron. Are you saying that players have their clubs bent like this? Or the loft is standard but at impact they deloft the face?

[muneyman68]

@dabom34 65% club 25% the pro delofting club himself at impact

[dabom34]

@muneyman68 so a profesional golfers PW is 40 degrees?

[muneyman68]

@dabom34 pros for the most part don't tinker with the lofts of their wedges, but once they start to get 6-iron and down, most of them have their clubs bent.

[nikepumps123]

@muneyman68 yeah man thats not true at all. tigers clubs are bent one weak for example. mcilroy is one strong

[Michaelamos94]

name of song at 2:40 ????

[gounc93]

In the Cog Hill Clubhouse there is a picture of this moment at 2:24. It's awesome

[sandersuperfollador]

HAHA i had 167 to the hole , and i just try to hit a high soft cut 9 iron , it,s impossible that hole is uphill , no way hitting 167 cut with the 9 i , it,s more like a cut 7 iron

[harryc44u]

@sandersuperfollador uuuuummmmm....... He is Tiger Woods. You dont use the word "can't" and the name Tiger Woods in the same sentance, boy.

[muneyman68]

@sandersuperfollador hahaha or a cut 5

[azapro911]

I seem to remember Trevor Immelman beating some knockabout journeyman to win the '06 Western Open. What was his name? Tig, Tigger, Tye, Tiger erm, something-or-other? No, of course I jest! Seriously, for Tiger to come back after his father's death and almost win first time out (the U.S. Open didn't count) is a mark of the man's professional greatness, whatever anyone thinks of him.

[gatorcc70]

I remember as a kid watching Verplank win as an amateur. Great stuff!

[whammydoom]

was that Jim Thorpe that Verplank beat?

[veryohh]

what's name of the song on the first 21 sec??

[arjunchawdry]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
