I have no idea because I very rarely take a full swing with any wedge

I rarely hit full shots either with wedges. If I had the distance you have with the clubs you listed, I would sell the rest of my irons.

Yeah, my iron distance is quite ridiculous by the Hinge and Hold method works; give it a try. Anyone need a 7 iron or 6 iron? hah!

+1 I can only dream of those type distances. My 8 iron is my 130 club.

I generally try to swing at 80-90%. I don't like to try to nuke my clubs. However, sometimes I just let it out on some hits with some great hits and also some absolutely bad results. I used to try to always hit my 56* SW for 100 yd shots with a fast, hard swing. Now, I use my 52* AW for those shots with much, much better results!

60* 70-75
56* 80-90
52* 95-110
48* 115-125
9i 125-135
8i 135-145

I have a no name 60* wedge that I can go at with everything I have and not hit it 60 yds. Don't use it much but it's handy for popping stuff fairly straight up when called for - open up the blade and stance, swing hard from a fluffy lie, straight up, 20 yds, bounce and dead. And, though I am a lefty, I am no Phil.

still learning a new set and a new swing, but for now:
PW 100-110
9i 120-125
8i 130-135

I try to hit all of these at 80 percent and change distances by gripping down an inch or two. Bad things happen when short irons are hit hard, off line, too high, too much spin etc.

60 degree up to 85 yds
56 degree 100 yds
52 degree 115
P 130
9i 140
8i 150

8i - 175
9i - 165
PW - 150
50* - 135
54* - 120
58* - 105

I don't take a lot of full swings with the wedges either, but when I do, this is the yardage I get.
