Range balls tend to reduce distance by 10-15% when compared to a game ball. So the faster you swing and the further you hit, the more penalty in yardage. Someone who carries 300y on driver is losing 20-40y based on their avg backspin numbers (higher avg backspin = larger %loss).

Just look up what stock yardages should be for a beginner for each club type. Then go play and adjust from there. You will begin to learn how far you hit with each club and how to take factors into account like hitting surface, stance angles, wind speed, elevation changes, etc.
