# 7 iron distance at age 40

A golfer of 40 carries a 7 iron about 130 yards on the age model, at 70 mph of club head speed, and totals 136 yards on a fairway landing. That is 3 yards behind the peak of 134 yards at 20, which the published fairway table prices at about 0.01 of a stroke per approach.

## Key figures

- A golfer of 40 carries a 7 iron about 130 yards on the age model, at 70 mph, and totals 136 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 7 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.
