how far can you hit a 8 iron ?

I hit mine 165-170. I could hit it 190 if I needed too, but why not just hit a 6?

It might be possible to hit an 8-iron 250 if he has longer clubs and swings out of his shoes. I've seen them hit 230 before, so I guess he could hti it 250. But in case you didnt realize this, it isnt the normal trajectory of an 8 iron, he probably delofts it, puts less spin on it to get more roll, etc....

In ideal conditions, I'll hit an 8 iron up to about 145 yards.

I seriously doubt it. Unless it was Jason Zubek the long drive champion. Tiger Woods hits a 4 iron about 250. I hit an 8 iron about 135-140.

dude is SO lying.

I hit mine about 130-160 depending on wind.

However, I could probably hit the 200 yd mark if I "cheat".

By cheating, I mean hitting the ball thin on purpose (Needed for playing rounds with only one iron and a putter).

As far as a proper trajectory 8 iron shot going 250 yards...total bull unless you are hitting with gail-force winds behind you.

I'm 13 and I hit my 8 iron about 140 yards.

So funny, why does that dude want to milk 250 yards from his 8 iron when he can swing easy to reach that distance with his woods? I only do mine for 135 yards.

I bet he is playing in his high 100s for each 18-holes round.

I hit my 8-iron about 135-140 yards.

I can hit an 8 iron about 165 accurately. I'm sure i could reach over 200 yards if i want to go look for my ball in the rough or even in the trees. It's possible but, not a very smart shot.

145

I average about 140 yards with my 8-iron.
