No.  If you haven't noticed on the course, there is not a distance a club "should" go.  There are solid players who would hit the same club very different distances.  In fact, the same player can hit the same club very different distance all with a full swing.

I hit mine about 240 off tee and about 230 off the deck...

obviously that is dependant on lie and situation.

mine is a 19* and stiff shaft...

I played a par 3 last week that I may have needed to take it on ... 191 to a back pin with a big wind coming in off the ocean...  I took 4 hybrid and was a good club short... 3 hybrid should have gotten close, but I think it still would have been 5 yards short. 5 wood probably would have been just over the back.

With absolutely no statistics on your game and without actually watching you play golf it isn't really worth much to tell you how far it would go.

Everybody here is just going to tell you how far they might be able to hit it... That will not help you.

I have a feeling you are looking to buy a specific club, and you are looking online without having actually hit it. Perhaps I will take a guess that you are a high handicapper looking for something to improve your game and you're drooling over that 5 wood.

I will estimate, then, that your 5 wood will go 200 yards tops. :)

The moral of the story is, you should go out and demo one and figure out how far right up close and personal. :)

Edit: That way, you can say to yourself "That guy was right!" or "That guy was full of bull!" :)

Hello, mine will average 240.

My father will average 210

My best friend 200

My brother in law 190

Moral of the story there is no distance for a club, just you knowing what club to pull out in what situation.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
