# 9 iron distance at age 30

A golfer of 30 carries a 9 iron about 117 yards on the age model, at 69 mph of club head speed, and totals 122 yards on a fairway landing. That is -2 yards behind the peak of 115 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 9 iron about 117 yards on the age model, at 69 mph, and totals 122 yards.
- That is -2 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 9 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.
