  Usually with the callaways, the 135 yard iron should be 142/143 yards, but every shot i've noticed so far, i'm not getting the extra yardage from my callaway balls, and all shots are 135 yards.  Is any one else noticing this problem, or is it just plain old deviation effected shots?

  Yes. It seems that the R11's have an even higher trajectory than the I15's and Burner 2.0's and that causes  all the short irons come up short of the expected distance unless you add a little topspin. And with the great spin rating adding topspin doesn't affect its stopping power.
