What is Your Driver Swing Speed?

Thought this might be interesting...

Usaully average around 112, can get it up to around 125 though with a good shoulder turn and smooth tempo.

[joeyo]

Last time it was 110 avg

[mddubya]

Last time on the monitor it was 95-98, but I've been working on it, :laugh:

[Wi-Golfer]

130+

Oh wait, thought I was on another site:laugh:
Never been on any sort of launch monitor & the only clue I even have is with one of those speed stik things & that was reading mid 90's. But I also wasn't swinging it as fast as I could either.

[Clugnut]

Last time, average was about 108-109.

Last week I hit 7 drives with an avg. of 105.8mph. It's so much more about swing than strength.

[zaphod]

107 last summer.

I took 3 swings on a launch monitor yesterday, first was 95, next was 105 and the third time i really tried to go at it and got 100, and 20 yards less than the first two :laugh:

[extremeVFT03]

i was at the shop today swung a few time and it was 105-109

I see we have a 125 up there so far. Nice, to see we have few guys here who would rank in the top 5 on tour.

Threads like these are pointless (and even a bit dangerous)

(edit - for a point of reference)

I had about 250 people hit balls last year on my launch monitor. All ages, all skill levels including the best player in the area (he is now at Florida State on a scholarship), and no one, not a single player had a swing speed over 120 mph. The fasted was the Florida guy who hit 116 on average. The average for the entire lot was just a hair under 95 mph.

Hey now, don't go throwing facts into this:laugh:
Threads like this are always funny to me, you always get a few folks who are swinging better than pro's & every drive is carrying 320+. Fortunately the vast majority here tend to be more honest since we do get together & play so it's rather easy to find out who may be fibbing just a wee bit.

105 ave, can get to 108 ish when fully fit

The mechnaics and fitness required to swing over 100mph is pretty impressive, and I suspect a few that have voted have just guessed, and I bet most are actually around 89/95

Really? I've seen a couple people get up over 120 for their Swing Speed with a 46 1/2" driver and it was their all out swing. One of whom competes in long drive contests all the time (can't break 90 though). Both of these were tested on a Vector Launch Monitor (single lens however -- this could be the big reason why)

Summer of 2006 I averaged 90 (range: 88-92). At the start of 2007, after a few lessons, I was averaging 99 with a high of 102. At the end of the 07 season I was averaging 105 and managed to clock 109 a few times.
