During the Summer:

Driver 250-260

3 wood 230

2 hybrid 205

3 hybrid 195

4 hybrid 185

4 iron 180

5 hybrid 175

5 iron 170

6 iron 160

7 iron 150

8 iron 140

9 iron 130

PW 115

AW 100

SW 85

LW 70

All of these numbers are "ish" depends on how i am striking the ball on any given day, those are the numbers that i am playing for etc. etc.

Driver: 265

3 Wood: 230

4 Iron: 215

5 Iron: 200

6 iron: 185

7 iron: 170

8 iron: 155

9 iron: 140

pw: 130

gw: 120

sw: 100

lw:  80

The irons I have, have very strong lofts so each iron is basically the loft of one iron below it, for example: the 4 iron is really the loft of a 3 iron, 8 iron is the loft of a 7 iron etc.

The distances above indicate what I am comfortable hitting each club without any roll from a very good - perfect lie.

Driver: 280

4 Wood: 240

3 Hybrid: 225

4 Iron: 205

5 Iron: 190

6 Iron: 170

7 Iron: 155

8 Iron: 140

9 Iron: 130

PW: 115

54*: 90

58*: 60

I have really good clubhead speed with the driver (105 MPH+), but I have never been able to hit my short irons anywhere. That isn't really a problem as long as I know how far they go, but lately they are even going shorter than ever. Can't figure it out.

I started playing golf three months ago ... So far I've only played 8 rounds.
I play only once a week and practice on the driving range just 30 minutes before the round ...
I hope that next year I will have more time for golf ...

Holy crap you guys are good

this is mine more or less.

Driver	230-240
3 Wood	220 - 230
5 Wood	195 - 200
4 Hybrid	180 - 190
5 Iron	170
6 Iron	160
7 Iron	150
8 Iron	140
9 Iron	130
Pitching Wedge	120
Gap Wedge	100
Sand Wedge	60-70
Lob Wedge	30-50

I need to work on many things but driver distance is one of them. I hit an old Birdeye calloway diver 11 degrees but only because I haven't found a new one I like. Although I did try the Ping K15 and liked that but out of my price range. Perhaps in a few months.

[Smitty]

Here you go... SW 60-80 AW 90-100 PW 110 9I 120 8I 130 7I 140 6I 150 5I 160 5W 170-180 3W 180-190 1W 200- ?? These are the clubs I'd use for the listed yardage. Guess you could call them "average distances". Smitty

[bjwestner]

Right now I'm hitting my clubs a lot less further than in the warm weather, but that's to be expected I guess when you play in December/January and it's only 35 degrees out!

Driver:     230 now, 250+ summer (Burner Superfast 2.0, 10.5 loft, stiff flex)

3W:         200+ now, 220+ summer (Burner Superfast 2.0 TP, 13.5 loft, stiff flex)

3H:          185-200 (Burner Superfast)

4H:          175-185ish (Burner Superfast)

5i:            165-175 now, 175+ summer   (irons are Burner Plus)

6i:            155-165 now

7i:            145 - 155 now

8i:            135 - 145 now

9i:             125 - 135 now

PW:         115 - 125 now

GW:         90 - 115 now

SW:         up to 90 at most

LW:          60? maybe?  I always get in trouble if I am trying to see if I can hit this devil of a club any kind of distance, I usually just use it for short around the green.  I am realizing that these lists are so vague, when I first started golfing I was all about how far I could hit each club but now I know that there are so many variables that go into each shot....i.e. wind, lie, temperature.  I've hit a 9i as much as 160 before and have also used a 9i to try a shot from just under 100 out because it was windy and uphill.

embarrassingly shorter than all other replies to this thread....

after re-reading my post I felt it necessary to point out that I am NOT a good golfer nor a narcissistic self worshipping prick.  It is so much harder to convey humor through text. :)
