Introduction
The following content was calculated using the in game driving and chipping range. This guide is designed for players using the MASTER club set as it provides the most control.

1. All shots in this guide are based on the PERFECT / PERFECT swing timing and a 98%+ straight swing line using an Xbox One wired controller.
2. Wind varied from 0 Mph to a max of 2 Mph so bare in mind for longer distances yardage may be affected by +/- 1-2 yards.
3. All shots were taken on LEVEL ground with 100% lie, shot onto NORMAL softness and speed fairway/greens.

To clarify beforehand; LOWEST LOFT means all the way DOWN on the loft meter, DEFAULT LOFT is the initial point when you switch to the selected club, and MAX LOFT is all the way UP on the loft meter.

Hope you enjoy!

*Special Note*
A lob wedge can be made to flop closer than 23 yards if needed by adjusting your back-swing speed whilst maintain a PERFECT down-swing with MAXIMUM LOFT.

Conclusion
This guide is primarily a reference point to get a good feel for distances and how different lofts will affect your ball with each shot type.

Remember though even though these numbers are accurate they don't take into account the variables that make golf challenging; Wind, Elevation Difference, Ball lie, Green Speed, Firmness and, Slope!

If you notice something way off let me know.
Cheers all!

This is great! Thanks for taking the time to do this, for all of us nitwits! Lol
You put a lot of time and effort into this and, I greatly appreciate it!!

The issue with developing ranges for longer clubs is unfortunately the difficulty of getting accurate values due to wind, swing plane, straightness and point of landing. The longer the shot the more variance is introduced in the data.

However, mapping out short game distances for the Pro club set should be feasible.
