BTW I have seen 9, 11, 13 and 15 woods in my life.

I have a new set of Ping G440 irons that I bought this year and they are the standard loft.

Here are my average yards for the top of my bag:

Driver: 260-280
3W: 235-250
7W: 200-215
5H: 185-200
6i: 183

I have a gap between the 3W and 7W where I want the 5W to fill. I tested one and was consistently around the 220-233 mark.

The 9W would be a nice replacement for the 5H as more of a utility / might be easier to hit club...not sure.
We have pretty similar yardages except I'm jealous of your driver......my 3 wood is a 235 to 255 club but I cannot consistently hit my driver more than 250 without it going in the wrong direction. I know I've said this before on here but I just cant hit a driver right now. I've just been settling and hitting a 3 iron off the tee and laying it out there 220 to 240. Im scoring just as well if not better without a driver.
