A 7 iron in golf typically goes between about 130 and 160 yards for most amateur male golfers, with variations depending on age, skill level, and swing speed. For example:
- Men aged 18–30: short hitters around 135–145 yards, mid-range 150–165 yards, long hitters up to 170–180 yards.
- Average club golfers with a handicap around 15 hit their 7-iron about 154 yards.
- PGA Tour professionals can hit a 7 iron between 170 and 200 yards.
- Distances for women and juniors are generally less, with women 30–60 years old hitting around 105–120 yards on average.
This distance range reflects total distance including roll, and proper technique, swing speed, and equipment type all influence how far the ball travels with a 7 iron.
