I could not find any information about distance.  I cut and paste some info I found.  I sent my Titleist Rep an e-mail asking the same question.  I will send you the info.  \n\nGolf balls travel farther when they are warm.\nSomewhat true. Colder temperatures do decrease a ball's velocity more than warm temperatures; although, the air temperature affects distance much more significantly than the temperature of the ball. The moral of the story is don't bother putting the ball in the oven before teeing off. Your pocket will do just fine. A two-piece ball will have a little faster initial velocity off the clubface in cold weather, so keep that in mind next time the frost is on the ground. \n\nThe weather report also influences which ball to choose. Warm conditions can expand balls, calling for players to use a higher compression. A harder ball helps in high humidity or in low sea level areas, where thick air slows the ball down. \n\nConversely, cold weather tends to harden the ball. Players can counteract the effect by choosing lower compression balls. Softer balls also help in high altitudes where air is thinner and there is less resistance

Most average players hit a six or seven iron 150 yards. Add 15 yards for each extra club, (if that makes sense).  6 iron for 150 yards, 7 iron 135 yds, 8 iron 120 yards etc.\nIf you can hit a driver 220 yards, a three wood should be about 190, a five wood 180, seven wood 165.   Most golfers will say they hit everything further than I suggest.  Try to determine what club you need for 150 yards and work from there.   What Tiger woods does with his clubs is unbelievable.  He can hit a six iron about 220 yards and a Driver 360.

The typical lofts for irons range from 16 to 48 degrees. Modern day irons have lower lofts than their contemporaries from the old days, caused by the desire of the average golfer to hit the ball as far as the professionals. This was a difference in skill, but the equipment manufacturers were happy to comply. This resulted in the modern day pitching wedge to have a loft similar to an old 8 iron. Nowadays pitching wedges may have lofts up to 45 degrees, though the difference in distance between the professionals and average golfers remains.\nConsistent loft angles will give you more consistent distance, all things being equal. Your clubmaker can check those for you.\n\nWoods    Old Standard Loft Angle  Modern Avg.

45 degrees.  It helps you calculate the distance and strenght you need to make the shot and if your ball bounces off the board, it has a better chance of still getting in.

Cool another disc golfer.  I play in Michigan finding myself in windy conditions.  That's why I choose over stable discs.  Go to Innova's website and explore their offerings and recommendations.\n\nWhere are you located and what are some of the more memorable courses you have visited?  Please email me.

Well it all depends on how badly they're worn. Basically there are two major areas of concern.\n\n1) Grooves - If the grooves are worn away in the hitting area you'll start hitting flyers (knuckleballs) out of the fairway. I'm assuming since you've worn your clubs out that you're a decent golfer and can control your ball. You DO NOT want to start hitting flyers from the fairway.\n\n2) Concave face - This is when the face starts to get like a "bowl" effect. This effectively limits the sweetspot of your club, because you have to hit it in the "bottom" of the bowl for it to go straight. If you hit the sides of the bowl, you'll hit it slightly offline and you won't be able to figure out why....this can lead to you making unecessary swing changes and adjustments....and you do not want that either. \n\nMy advice would be to show your clubs to your local pro or a reputable golf specialty shop, they'll be able to tell you if they're too worn out. \n\nI know there are a few places that "re-groove" irons. With GolfWorks probably being the best known, check out the link here:\n\nhttp://www.golfworks.com/product.asp?pn=REGROOVE

Pony the answer by JT is not really correct. If you start playing your irons out towards your left foot (for a right handed player) I think you'll have a tendency to blade or thin more shots, which is definitely not what you want. \n\nI think ball position might be an issue, but remember you have to hit down on the ball to make it go up! So play all irons up to your 5 irons in the middle of your stance, and then just slightly forward of middle for your 4 and 3 iron. \n\nTo make sure the ball is in the middle of your stance, setup to the ball and then lay a club down parralel to your feet and then lay one perpendicular to the one at your feet bisecting the ball. It should look like a big plus sign, and it should be easier to tell if the ball is in the middle of your stance. \n\nYou can hit balls with this aid, just pull the bisecting club back away from the ball about a foot and then use it as a guide to take your stance. \n\nAlso aim the club that's parrelel to your feet at the target, this will help you aim correctly. \n\nAnd remember....PRACTICE!!! ;)

I used to be a very long hitter (with drivers) and not very good at iron shots. I spent a good amount of time in the driving range practicing on iron shots, that I can hit quality shorts from every iron (including 1 and 2 irons), but then I can't hit any of the woods anymore. There were five years long that I can't hit a solid driver shots until recently, my ex boss pointed out that I teed up too low (driver these day are 460 cc), and another friend pointed out that I position my tee too far back in the stand.\n\nI suddendly realise the important of ball positioning, and words like drivers are hit on the way up whilst irons are hit on the way down. I reposition my ball, tee up much higher, and now I have a very quality driver shots without sacrificing my iron shots.\n\nThe important is the swing is the same. If you could hit good iron shots (assuming your swing are OK), I suggest you try moving the ball forward in your stand as much as possible and try hit many short for a test in the range, and don't forget to tee up high for drivers.

When the season is colder, the air is heavier and a golf ball want fly as far. Also you are probably not as "warmed up" in cold weather as you are in summer, therefore your club head speed is slightly slower> Also the ground in summer is usually drier and harder and the ball rolls farther. In Fall and Winter, the ground is usually wet and softer, thus little roll. Seasonal loss of distance happens to everyone.

Yes they can, like the answer above you can't see the true shot, plus you try to hit shots that work well with the game.  Those shots will hurt your regular game.  Example I played several that all you had to do is hit the ball low and hard with a 7 iron and it would give me credi for a 280 yard drive.

Woods – \nHave you tried the new Hybirds out?  If not hit a 3 and 4.  They take the place of long irons.  I think you will like it, almost everyone does.  \n\nWedges – Your wedge should be a 52 or 54 and you have the 60.  I suggest you get a 56 or 58.  Check the length, I purchased a Ben Hogan SI and it was the same length as my 9 iron, so if went just as far as the wedge.  When it comes to bounce if you 60 has a lot, do the opposite with the new one.  \nGood Luck

3 iron...max drive...lol
