  Some holes and individual clubs have some very odd tendencies.  I haven't played your irons in nearly 2 years now, but the similar G10 middle irons were notorious for having a huge dropoff in distance when full backspin was used.

  Best thing you can do is take note of it, and next time w/ that wind try doing half or 3/4 backspin and noting that result.
