# 5 iron distance at age 30

A golfer of 30 carries a 5 iron about 154 yards on the age model, at 76 mph of club head speed, and totals 160 yards on a fairway landing. That is -3 yards behind the peak of 151 yards at 20, which the published fairway table prices at about -0.01 of a stroke per approach.

## Key figures

- A golfer of 30 carries a 5 iron about 154 yards on the age model, at 76 mph, and totals 160 yards.
- That is -3 yards behind the peak, worth about -0.01 of a stroke per approach on the published fairway table.

## Scope

- The age model eases a peak club head speed by decade and swings the 5 iron at the same fraction of its tour speed; the carry is the published tour anchor at that speed, and your own launch monitor carries replace it in the app.
