I think carry distances vary so much it is almost pointless to assign a distance to a particular club.
For example, a sea level flat terrain course that is 6,400 yards may "play longer" than a 7,200 course at elevation with lots of sloped terrain.
The same is true for individual clubs. I know Tour players who will carry a 9-iron 135 yards on a foggy morning at Torrey Pines yet two weeks earlier that that same player was in Hawaii , playing on a warm afternoon, carrying his 9-iron 185 yards.
