My distances and the reason I say mine is no one hits each club the same distance. My distance for each club in yards:
Driver: 265
3 wood: 245
18 degree driving iron: 220
3 iron: 210
4 iron: 200
5 iron: 185
6 iron: 170
7 iron: 160
8 iron: 150
9 iron: 135
PW: 125
SW: 105
LW: 90
As you can see there are some gaps in my yardages that aren’t consistent, but as my clubs are fitted I have to get creative and hit partial shots because you’re hardly ever going to have a “perfect yardage” for each club. Those yardages don’t include roll.

these yardages are for people who dont’ play alot but who focus on good ball contact and straitness not people who try and kill it or swing hard
as a previous poster wrote, it’s impossible to say! Too many factors.
Don’t get too caught up with the Professional player’s distances, there are many reasons why they hit the ball as far as they do, that us mortals will never achieve.
A (very loose) general rule of thumb. Your 9-iron distance multiplied by 2 should be close to your driver distance. (that is carry distance, don’t factor in roll). You should have a 10~15 yard gap between each club. e.g.
9I: 130 yards
8I: 140~145
7I: 150~155
…
3W: 220~235
Driver: 245~260
How long is a piece of string? Every player hits every club a different distance. The only thing you should be concerned about is how far YOU can hit each club. If you believe a table of distances for clubs then you will try to attain these and be disappointed when you fail!. Ask yourself this, who hit the clubs, did they have steel or graphite shafts, were the shafts regular, stiff or senior, what type of ball was used, what compression. Was the course dry or wet? All of these factors need to be considered. You should aim for consistent hitting of each club over a distance which is comfortable for you. Confidence in hitting each club will make you a better golfer.Knowing the distance you can hit each club will build confidence and your game will improve. Consider the professional tour, it is not always the longest hitters who are sucessful. Play your own game. Do not be sucked into trying to hit the longest shot every time. There is nothing so satisfying as quietly playing each shot on a hole to achieve a par.
