Aside
from the seven-iron, the club every golfer absolutely must have, without
question, is the five-iron. This is because the five-iron can be used easily,
well and in a wide variety of situations.
Though
not as versatile as the seven-iron, the five-iron is still a very versatile
club. The angle of the club head allows the golfer to get plenty of elevation on
his or her shot, while not being angled so steeply as to prevent the golfer
getting a great deal of distance on his or her shot as well.

The
five-iron is a great club from about two hundred yards and in. For most golfers
the maximum range with their five-iron is about one hundred and eighty yards, no
small distance on the links, and that is for sure. Yet, this club, this
wonderful club is absolutely perfect for the distance. It allows the golfer to
address the ball confidently, knowing if he or she strikes the ball properly it
will hurl majestically through the heavens toward the promised land of the
green.
The
five-iron is also of particular use in getting out of the rough and back into
the fairway, depending on how deep the rough is. If the rough is four to six
inches deep, the best thing a golfer can do is grab a wedge and chip the ball
back into the fairway. Sure, it will cost a stroke, but one lost stroke is
better than several, and this could happen if a golfer attempted to power the
ball out of the rough with their five-iron.
The
five-iron is an easy club to control. Its length is just about perfect and the
feel of the club is a wonder in itself. The five-iron is a marvel to swing. Why
is this? This is a good question, and here is the answer. The five-iron is a mid
to long range club for use two hundred yards and in, depending on how strong the
golfer is and how well the golfer uses the club. Getting the reverse “C” of
Arnold Palmer is a breeze with the five-iron and a golfer can generate a
considerable amount of speed with the club head. The speed of the club head
determines how far the ball will be hit, much like bat speed in baseball.
Because
of the club’s length, it is easy to control, unless a golfer is playing
without gloves and has sweaty hands. Sweat will allow the club to turn in a
golfer’s hands, resulting in something bad happening. Usually the something
bad is the club head turning as it meets the golf ball, with the ball careening
almost one hundred and eighty degrees from the golfer. This is why golfers wear
gloves.
A
well hit five-iron shot will, in all likelihood, go where the golfer expects it
to go, and can look like a shot seen on a televised golf tournament. It will
also cover a great deal of territory in a short time, getting the golfer closer
to his or her desired location, the green.
