The driver has:
* a longer shaft than an iron, so the clubhead speed is higher * lower loft, so the ball flies with more forward velocity and less height.
It's possible to take the lower loft too far, so that the ball travels a shorter distance. The optimum depends on the swing speed. It's somewhere between perhaps 7 degrees for really big hitters and maybe 13 degrees for a really slow swinger.

No, iron is denser and heavier than polystyrene. An iron ball would weigh more than a polystyrene ball of the same size.
Does a frozen golf ball thawed out go farther than a non frozen golf ball?

How can you tell the difference between a 6 iron and a 9 iron?
The angle of the head is different. Some are for hitting the ball further, while some are to get more elevation on the ball.AnswerYup... the smaller the number is, the more closed the face is and the farther and lower it goes. The higher number is the more open the face is, the higher but not farther the ball goes. It all has to do with an angle.
Can a baseball bat hit a golf ball farther than a driver?
I'm no expert or knocking on your common sense,but its impossible to generate the kind of speed that a golf club picks up throughout a swing. So the answer is no. Although the speed of a golf club is less, there is no flexing in a baseball bat like there is in a golf club shaft (absorbing energy). I think the golf ball (all things equal) would travel farther being hit by an aluminum bat than a driver.
Does a taylormade golf ball go farther than a precept golf ball?
A precept is harder than a TaylorMade. But is also depends on if you have TaylorMade Black or Red. Overall, TaylorMade balls will go farther and spin more.
Does freezing a softball make it go farther?
Yes it does. Will a hard compression ball go farther than a softer one? The harder the ball the farther it will travel.
What ball travels farther a hard ball or low impact ball and why?
the hard ball, because it maintains its aerodynamic shape more easily than a soft-ball.
Why iron ball floats on mercury?
An iron ball floats on mercury because mercury is much denser than iron. The buoyant force acting on the iron ball due to the displacement of mercury is greater than the gravitational force pulling it downward, causing it to float.
Why are little league kids hitting the ball farther than when you played?
Aluminum bats.
Will a wooden bat hit a ball farther than a metal bat?
the metal bat
Why does a ball roll farther on dirt than grass?
The reason a ball rolls farther on dirt is because the grass has more potenial than dirt because once you roll the ball really hard the ball will slow down on grass and the grass is sometimes standing up and the dirt doesn't have any thing to stop the ball the dirt is is flat unlike the grass.
