Why You’re Losing 7 Iron Carry Distance (And How To Fix It Beyond Just Swing Speed)

🏌️‍♂️ Why You’re Losing 7 Iron Carry Distance (And How To Fix It Beyond Just Swing Speed)

Are you struggling to get the carry distance you want with your irons — especially your 7 iron? You’re not alone. Many golfers hit the ball solidly but still come up short of their target numbers.

In this video, we’ll break down the three crucial factors that could be holding you back — and exactly how to fix them to gain effortless yards with your irons.

Optimise Your Swing Speed the Right Way

Swing speed is an obvious ingredient in distance, but there’s more to it than just swinging harder. We’ll show you how to build efficient speed through better sequencing, balance, and tempo — not brute force.

💡 Pro Tip: At the end of the video, I’ll share one of my favourite drills to help you boost swing speed without losing control or consistency.

Understand Your Delivery: The Hidden Distance Killer

Your delivery characteristics—including angle of attack, delivered loft, club path, and face-to-path—play a massive role in how far your irons actually carry.

Even a small change in these numbers can mean 10–15 yards of lost carry. We’ll break down what the data means and how to adjust your setup and swing to hit your optimal launch conditions.

Get the Right Equipment Fit for Your Swing

Sometimes, the problem isn’t your swing—it’s your equipment. Using the wrong shaft flex, loft, or lie angle can completely change your launch, spin, and distance.

In this section, we’ll discuss how custom fitting can help you get the most out of your swing, so your 7 iron carry distance is consistent and predictable.
