# 9 iron distance at age 50

A golfer of 50 carries a 9 iron about 107 yards on the age model, at 64 mph of club head speed, and totals 112 yards on a fairway landing. That is 8 yards behind the peak of 115 yards at 20, which the published fairway table prices at about 0.03 of a stroke per approach.

## Key figures

- A golfer of 50 carries a 9 iron about 107 yards on the age model, at 64 mph, and totals 112 yards.
- That is 8 yards behind the peak, worth about 0.03 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.
