All the best keep the golf up.

As a beginner you are not striking the ball with much consistency. Proper instruction, patience and practice will result in identifying the approximate distance each club provides. I am assuming the clubs you describe are of the same model and have a progressive length difference. Visit a local club maker and at the very least have the length adjusted so the lie angle, (measured in degrees from the shaft and the head in a proper position). To save money adjust the length to approximatelyy the amount of your growth. Install or have the club maker install new grips. As a beginner try to get at least one season from your set of clubs. Also note that hitting a 2 iron is problematic for almost every amateur player let alone a beginner. You would best be served byacquiringg a hybrid or a 5 or 7 metalwoodd. A cautionary note: my suggestion on a simple length adjustment with new grips is a temporary fix and also includes the possibility of a stiffer flex and other issues. Once you decide you want to step up to the next playing level getting a properly fit set of clubs should be part of the process even if you have to do it one or a few clubs at a time.

The distance differences you are experiencing is caused by mishitting the ball with a novice swing at best. If youcommitt yourself to improvement you will soon see a difference of about 10 yards between the irons. An average high school player at 14 years old hits a 8 iron about 145 yards for boys and 125 yards for girls. There are exceptions but these numbers are based on teaching and testing over 350 freshmen players. The variables andreasonss are too numerous for this answer format but it assumes a center strike on the club face with a swing speed of 70 to 80 MPH with standard loft angles. Years ago manufacturers and designers began to lower the lofts and misinformed players thought the clubs made them hit the ball further, the reality was to lower the loft so that you may be playing with a loft on an 8 iron which can be +/- 5 degrees either way.

Try to practice at a golf learning center with electronic devices designed to give you distance and other factors which contribute to ball flight. If you can’t do this find a facility with flags accuratelymeasuredd when you practice. Ay amazon.com buy a used or new copy of “Golf My Way” authored by Jack Nicklaus. I consider it the bible for golfers of all levels. In one season following practical methods you will improve tremendously. Golf is a funny game. The better you get the more difficult it is to get better. You will improve by as many as 20 strokes for 18 holes and a few years from now lowering your handicap from a ten to a five is very, very difficult.

Should you have the financial means to acquire a professionally fit set of clubs make sure you select a brand with some resale or potential trade in value. In my experience Ping clubs offer this option and hold their value longer and higher over the years. That same professional fitting should include close attention to configuring the set to your personal playing abilities and personal goals.

Best of luck and your question is one I have heard from almost every student I taught. You’ll laugh about it one day because it’s just part of learning a very frustrating and difficult game to become proficient in. Welcome to the greatest game ever played.

ps you probably havent played golf much if you separate the words stiff and flex

Different shaft manufacturers may vary slightly from the above but basically that’s pretty close. What you need to do, is get your clubhead speed measured. From that point you can decide on which flex you want. Remember though, that the stiffer the flex the more difficult it can be to hit the ball well, so if your swing speed falls somewhere close to the point where you could go up to a stiffer flex you should probably go with the less stiff flex.
