"Okay, we've covered the driver and the three iron. Now we've got the four, five, and six. So the four iron, a good player should be hitting them somewhere between one-seventy and one-ninety consistently, maybe a little further. The five iron is going to be about ten yards shorter than that and the six iron an additional ten yards shorter. So these clubs, the key to using these clubs effectively is knowing that every time you swing a four iron, or five iron, or six iron you know what distance it's going to go. So sometimes you might not have the exact direction perfect but you're going to have the right distance. The key to being good, I can't stress this enough, is you've got to know exactly how far you hit each club every time because when you're one hundred and sixty yards, one hundred and eighty yards away from the green you want to know which club to use every time. It's not like, well I feel strong today, I'm going to take this one. A good player knows exactly how far they hit each club each time. So just having that type of knowledge improves your game because then you'll always select the right club for the task at hand."
