Driver: 265+
4 wood: 235-245
7 wood: 215-225
4 hybrid: 200-210
5 iron: 185-195
6 iron: 175-180
7 iron: 165-170
8 iron: 150-160
9 iron: 140-145
PW: 130-135
GW (50°): 120-125
SW (56°): 110-115
LW (60°): 90-100
These are all full swing distances, which I obviously don't use all the time. Conditions, lie, wind, pin position, etc. all factor into what club/shot I hit.
Recently put the TaylorMade MG2 TW sand and lob wedges in the bag. I don't even like Tiger, but these wedges have been great for me. I'm able to comfortably hit this full swing 56° sand wedge 10 yards further than my previous Vokey SM8 54°. Not sure why the difference, but I'm not mad about it. Can also dial it back with ease. Ditto for the 60°. Full swing goes further than my Vokey with the same loft, but it really shines in the 50-65 yard range.
I truly believe that modern equipment has made me longer. I'm 44 now, and if I find myself 125 from the hole, it's a stock gap wedge. 15-20 years ago, that was a full pitching wedge for me. You can say juiced lofts, but in reality, the irons I'm using now are really only 1-2° stronger through the set.
