Answer 1

How are we supposed to give any help when you've given no information.
How old are you? Are you a midget? Do you have two arms? How tall are you? How long have you been playing golf? What's your handicap? How often do you play? How often do you practice? Etcetera

Answer 2

No there is no problems there at all, you will most likely find that your 7 iron would be your preferred club to hit (most golfers have at least one club they love to hit)... When you feel comfortable with a particular club you will generally hit it further....

On the other hand, if you have your swing close to perfection you wont be too far off the mark, if you calculate 10mtrs for each club in bag ur prob about 20mtrs off length with ur driver.

Answer 3

That doesn't sound too bad to me. I hit my 7 about 150ish, I don't carry my driver more than 240-250 at best, and more often 210-220, but also my swing is naturally a lower trajectory and I can count on some roll with all but my wedges. In short, I know my own game and I'm willing to work on what I want to improve.

If you want to make the most of your distances you need to, 1) get your clubs fitted, 2) practice a whole lot more and lessons wouldn't hurt either, 3) do some homework and find out what you need from your golf ball, and what your game needs. Good luck

Answer 4

Mike, 210 isn't bad and your 7 iron distance is within range. So what is the problem? Was the driver fitted to your swing or was it off the shelf in a " Golfers' Warehouse"? Distance usually is a result of swing speed and swing repetition( hitting on the sweet spot). Swing speed defines the shaft stiffness you should use or be fitted to. These are the important factors for distance.

Answer 5

I'm a 3 handicap and my distance is 145 7-iron and 235 yard CARRY with driver. The distance relationship between your clubs in normal. Peoples preoccupation with distance is stupid. Learn to get the ball in the hole in the fewest strokes. It doesn't matter how. I play 150 rounds of golf a year and almost EVERYONE hits the driver farther than me, but I out-play most of them. Focus on the game, not the mechanics!

Answer 6

I don't anything wrong with that. I hit my 7-iron 140-150 yards and my driver 220-240.

I am just more comfortable with my seven iron. If you are hitting in the fairway, I would not be too concerned.

Answer 7

Mike Bravo !!!!. 7 iron 145, Driver 210. u should celebrate. there is a lot of golfer cant hit 7 iron to this distance.

Answer 8

If you know how far you hit your clubs, and you keep it in play, that's what matters. That is why you are allowed fourteen clubs in the bag. I play golf with a lot of guys that hit it a long way, but have no idea where it is going. The important thing is to enjoy the game!

Answer 9

you can get away with a crappy swing on a 7iron, but mishitting a driver really loses yardage and accuacy.
check you driver loft, length and lie for your swing and stature, and then check your swing.
i'll put five bucks on the club being better suited to you than the swing suited to a pure hit.

Answer 10

I'd have to know/see your ball flight to know for sure, but another way to have a spread in distance like yours is if your arc is too narrow, ie your left arm bending at the top if you play right handed.
