A standard set of irons consists of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 irons and the pitching wedge (PW). The 3 and 4 irons are harder to hit than the higher number irons. The 11 is probably lofted like an approach/gap wedge and the 10 is probably a pitching wedge. The normal markings for these are P and A, although most iron sets don’t include or even have an option for the A-wedge.
What iron does a 7 wood replace?
The larger clubhead of a fairway wood compared to an iron makes it easier to achieve more distance without over-swinging. As a rough rule of thumb, a 5 wood would replace a 2 iron, a 7 wood the 3 or 4 iron, a 9 wood the 5 iron. The 5-wood, thanks to design and technology, will hit the ball further than both the 5-hybrid and 5-iron. The bigger club head allows the face to flex more at impact, returning more energy to the ball for more ball speed and distance.A 5-wood could be in there as an option for an easy to hit wood. A 5-iron because it’s part of a set of matching irons. A 5-hybrid because it’s easier to hit than the 5-iron from tricky situations (like hitting out the rough, or maybe a fairway bunker) while offering a different ball flight to a 5-iron.
