I have wierd things happen to me distance-wise. My best drives are about 280. I can hit my 16* hybrid 210 consistently, but I've hit it 230 on occassion.

2 shots come to mind in recent weeks: a 210 4-iron which had no roll (landed in a fairway bunker), and a 6-iron which I pulled a bit and hit 190-195. There was no extra effort on either shot, and I obviously expected both to come up well short of what they actually flew.

I wonder if the extra carry were just because the shots were struck better. Normally I would bank on 190 from a 4 and 165 from a 6. I'm also stretching regularly and finding that this is adding distance and making it easier to swing.
