I tend to feel that swing speed is overrated. Here is why. The simple fact that if you pure a ball with a 7 Iron and an 85 mph swing it is going to go much further than ball hit off the toe with a 100mph swing. I've started to focus on swinging at a pace and speed that maximizes my chances of a sweet spot strike. On the launch monitor with a 3w I was swinging at a 92-93 mph swing speed and puring most of my shots. They were going 255 with role. With my driver my swing speed was about the same and I would carry 270 and get about 280 with roll. If I went after it and got the speed up to 98-100 I would miss the fairway 70% of the time. I always thin of the standard par 72 course from the tips. Of the par 4s and 5s You probably need to hit 275-300 off the tee 3-5 times to score well. So you hit some 3 woods, hybrids and mix in driver. If you are puring those clubs with an 80% swing there is no reason your game off the tee can't be all it needs to be.
