    In general how much extra distance do you tend to get on tee shots with 2.0 irons and Nike 71 X balls as opposed to fairway shots?

    i'd say on average through all the clubs, maybe 4yds longer from the tee.

    It depends on what ball you were using. Figure 3 yards per dot. But deduct about 1/2 yard or so per dot of spin if you use full backspin.

    I didn't notice any difference, there may be one though, if there is, it's slight.

    If it helps, here is a distance chart for burners with 71 nikes:
