To figure out the best golf club for you to use to achieve the maximum distance for each club it is best that you go to a driving range and hit around 50 golf balls with each club in order to see what club for each distance works for you.
When you are a beginner you may not attain these yardages, but with practice, you can get closer to these distances.
