mid-iron

Golfer's medium iron

A mid-iron is a golf club with a moderately lofted face, used for intermediate-distance shots.

The term is somewhat dated—modern golfers typically refer to these clubs by number (5-iron, 6-iron, 7-iron) rather than by the old classification of long, mid, and short irons.
