Tony....range balls don't go quite as far (we all know that) but with the short irons, I use those distances out on the course. Let's say a full PW goes 90-115 (depending on swing speed) with a range ball, then use that distance and if you get a full 10 yards more on the course, you'll soon notice if you are on the back of every green!!
For me (new clubs) the distances are one club less than the old set, so I used to work on SW 85 PW 105 9I 120. The new clubs (which are lofted differently) are PW 120 and 9I 135. The SW goes the same as it's the old club!
As for the other stuff.....LW.....60? (don't ever hit it full on the course) 3/4 PW about 100. Range balls or not, I use the same distance....never caused me too much grief.
I'm getting my old A wedge tweaked for 100 yards to fill the new gap in my set.
