about......

100 yards. probably! hehe. I dont know, it was replaced with a 4H.
Have a 3H CFT Hogan also.
Looks like I will be carrying some extra clubs to the range.
I recall last year, a few - few times, the ball bounced around the 180 yds with the 3i. Most of the time, IIRC, it just killed worms and insects.


All I know, is I watched those shots, and thought.... I have a LONG ways to go for the Senior Open...
Well, if you can carry it 180 it might roll to 210!

If you want to try and gain 30 yards carry, I would say: Don't! .....


...... followed by ....... But don't listen to me! & Have fun!

Let us know how it goes!

Right now according to golf digest 66% of all club sets sold in the US do not have a 3i. I would be surprised if more than half the players on the PGA tour carried anything bigger than a 4i on a regular basis. The pros will pick clubs based on reasons that are not obvious. It might just be a single tee shot on one of the par 3s that fits their 3i distance perfectly. I will practice with a 1 iron from time to time just to benchmark my swing, it is a good test.

Those Pro boyz humble a guy faster than you can say jiminy whipcrack!

not to mention the kind of "flex" (or lack of) they likely have in those irons.

While it's a noble effort, you'd do well to pursue hitting your hybrid that far.

I hit my 3H right about 200, on a slight downhill or a tailwind I can carry it a good bit further.

Can't Tiger hit a 9I close to 200 yards? I thought I saw him do that in some tournament.
It was a PW and it was here.

ya tiger hit 6i from 215ish today.....and sergio 6i on the 221 par 3(but i dont know how long it was playing....but if you go to a tournament you realize that only two things seperate good amatuers from touring pros, 1. Short Game 2. Consistency

most players hit their irons the same distance as us (via "Whats In The Bag" magazine article)

my 3i off a tee goes 210ish but i dont carry it cause it goes terrible from the deck

I think you are wrong on both of these thoughts, the pro's are better in every way shape & form. And they hit their irons further than most of us could ever hope for.
