Trouble with mid/long irons

Advice please, these are my iron distances i hit them solid even leaving white marks off of the balls in the middle of the clubhead but as you see something seems to be not right with my mid /long irons compared to my low irons.
P/W 135/140
9/ 145/150
8 150/160
7 160/165
6 160/165
5 165/170
4 170/175
3 175/180
Driver 250/270

As you can see after a good start the jump between clubs is very small,ckeck the 6 out i hit it the same as my 7 . i play off 18 and i'm using x14 irons with reg shafts .

You are getting very good distance with your short irons, & yet suffering with your long irons, how have you been meassuring the distances ?

And, It does seem very odd to me how you are getting those same distances with your 6 & 7 irons.
You haven't got a mixed set of irons have you ?

for instance my aprox distances are
SI - 90 -95
PW - 105 - 110
9 - 115 - 120
8 - 125 - 130
7 - 135 - 140
6 - 145 - 155
5 - 160 - 170
4 - 175 - 185
3 iron, well lets not talk about the 3...lol
ok 100 - 200...lol av' 150
replaced by 23* Hybrid... 200 - 220

Driver 220 - 240,

I know what my problem is, but yours I'm stumped by as if you are hitting your short irons that well, then why are your long irons not getting the distance..? Have you been fitted for your clubs, are you taking divits with your long irons as taking divets with long irons does rob distance from shots unless you've got muscles like the pro's

You really should be getting at the very least 200 yards with your 4 iron, judging by your short iron shots & yet you are only getting 175.

Its stumped me I can't think of much else other than you've not got the right sort of shaft for you, or the clubs haven't been fitted, or your bag has a mixed set with differently performing heads.

Nice driver distance too, I'd be on my clubs longest holes in one if I had that distance with my driver
