This is such a simple golf tip, and this has taken hundreds of shots off handicaps for so many of my students. And it’s time for you to start using this simple golf fix too.

Hi I’m Matt Lockey, welcome to my Coach Lockey YouTube Channel. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, and to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf course vlogs, golf challenges, golf tips, golf lessons, golf club reviews and the odd golf club unboxing. So pretty much everything golf!
I want to help you play better golf by providing coaching videos on all topics about golf. How to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
As well as helping you produce the best long game you can have, I will help you lower your scores by chipping better, stopping duff and thin chips, pitching the ball closer and creating backspin like the tour pros. Finally, I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts too!
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

approx 140 yds
7 iron carry 130 average on a good day 135
Coach, I always play to the back of the green and use a club that gets me to that distance, because most of us amateurs are shorter rather than longer, according to Arccos and Shotscope data. This has worked well for me. Having a 10 yard zone is an excellent idea, never thought about that. Thanks for the tip. Cheers.
172 carry
I carry my 7 iron 130 winter 140 summer
7 iron – 150 carry
A great rule of thumb I like to do with golfers who have launch monitor data is use the average minus the standard deviation. That will give you a number that ~84% of your shots will carry beyond. Great way think about club selection when you have a forced carry.
If I don’t skull it, or hit a worm burner then carry is roughly 135
160 carry average on a 7 iron
My 8 is my 150 carry club
But just bought some p790s and they are going longer but haven’t got the distances nailed down yet 😁
Basically in perfect conditions and I’m 165 out I’ll be hitting a 7 and it generally gets there depending on strick 😁😂
7 iron 175 carry
My 7 iron goes 145 total 155.
I hit my 7 iron 145 carry. I’d like to hit it a bit further but I need to work out more for that and I don’t have time. Currently 3.9 but would love to be a bit lower
130-135yds, that's if I hit it correctly.
7 Iron carry is 160 yards +/-10 yards depending on intent.
Edit:
🤣I nailed the assignment coach🤣
7 iron is 150-155m carry avg
My traditional loft 7i carries 165-175
I hit everything 150. Almost all.
7i on average is 145m.
Do you exclude the outliers – the fats shanks thins – from your 10 shots for average? Otherwise I’d have a range of 2 – 180 yards with my 7 iron 😂
A full swing 7 iron carries 100 to 110 metres depending on strike and lie in winter. Add 10 m for summer distances. Run out varies on surfaces and could be 5 to 15 m on top of carry. I can also change these distances by shortening the swing or delofting the club through ball position. All of which can lead to some confusion and occasional bad club choices. But at least Shotscope and SkyTraK has offered all these measurements that have since been verified on my home course.
Love it, thank you 😊
145 carry
Winter carry 147, above 65* 158..
235, ³/⁴ swing
7 irons 148 yds carry 156 yds total
130 metre carry
146 tracked today
Just use Arccos
65yrs young, 8iron 120m to 125m carry.
Only use Driver, 4hybrid, 8i 9i pw putter 17.9hcap thru bad neck getting better an slowly coming down.
Driver only 160m to 175m max from summer 35deg c Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
How far? Right now it’s carrying about 130 but it’s winter, everything is cold. In the summer on a similar shot I’m hitting a 9 iron!
So true about the conditions making a difference. We played this week and the ball was going 10 yards less than in the summer.
