five iron
Golfer's middle club
A five iron is a golf club with moderate loft, typically used for mid-range shots of 150–180 yards.
Irons are numbered by loft angle—lower numbers hit farther with less arc, higher numbers shorter with more arc.
The five iron sits in the middle of the set, useful for approach shots to the green: She hit a clean five iron onto the fairway.
