Do you know your swing speed ?

[SammmeBee]

No idea - can someone tell me what the numbers mean?

Will it make me a better player if I know? Do I need to get down to my local AG asap to find out?

 

[One Planer]

Absolutley no idea

No you need to stay away from AG. Yes & No about the figures. The main thing to make sure you swing within yourself. This will make you a better player, maybe not the longest, but a better. IMO

Please tell me thats with a Driver?

84mph with a 6 Iron
106mph with Driver

7 Iron,but im very very lucky ,in that i go to the gym 5 days a week and do a bit of boxing,and i dont have to work any more.

 

[JT77]

at ag fitting i was 92 mph with my 7iron.

 

[USER1999]

I have a swing like a strimmer. So about 20,000 rpm then.

What equipment do they use to measure your stats.

92 with a 7 iron

Is that all

some kind of trackman style machine, was done at the golf monthly iron fitting, very good stuff.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

88 off the TM trackman last year witha 6 iron and 88.2 off the Ping one so pretty consistent. To be honest every time I have it measure although the speeds vary I always fall into the regular shaft category. The only guys who said I was borderling was when they tested me at the FoA for the Cleveland gear. I was smoking the CG16 tour 7 iron and had it not been forty minutes before the Centenary Final I'd have stayed and got a proper fitting done

 

[elliottlale]

nope, not a clue.
what speeds are suited to what shafts then? over 90mph for stiff?

119mph with a 7 iron!?

 

[Swinger]

119mph with a 7 iron!?

Guessing that must be ball speed. Otherwise I'd love to know what shafts they had to fit. My guess would be Actual scaffold poles.

 

[beggsy]

I had a 94 mph swing speed with the mizuno DNA club

There is either some very dodgy radar devices out there or a few people on here talking bollocks.

The median swing speed on the PGA tour this year with a driver is 112mph.

 

[RGDave]

85-90 mph or just under.

Sad really. Last century, I might have even got up to 95.

That's with my wedge of course.

:rofl:

 

[Scottjd1]

Luke Donald is 92 on the Mizuno DNA, Charels Howell and Chris Wood are 95.

 

[Foxholer]

Driver speed at Precision Golf's Flightscope (when they started) 95-97 when I swung within myself; 02-94 when I went after it!

I work with a guy measured at 128!

And there's always this guy - who hits an 7 iron 20-30yds past my best Drives!
