Measuring Swing Speed

[VVega]

Launch angle 10 degrees
Apex 14 yd
Landing angle 23 degrees
Hang time 4.1s
Curve L 30 yd

I hit 24 shots -

Launch Angle varied from 9 degrees to 16, average 10-12
Apex 14-28, average around 16
Landing angle 19-38, average around 27
Hang time 3.3-5.5, average around 4.5
Curve L2-L30, average around L20

Average ball speed around 142

10* launch and 14 yds is very low, the pull/hook of 30 yds also doesn’t help.

FWIW, found a comparable shot from my Toptracer:

Ball speed: 145mph
Carry: 219 yds
Total: 233 yds
Launch angle: 13*
Apex: 27 yds
Landing angle: 38*
Hang time: 5.9s
Curve: R 5 yds

So if you can swing to get the ball speed to 145mph and improve strike/launch conditions you can potentially gain more distance

A Trackman session will also give you angle of attack. That would be good to know, because that ball speed should be giving you more carry. I have a feeling you'll be hitting down rather than up on the ball. And I don't know if any shaft would help fundamentally alter that.

PRGR is the best "cheap" radar for just swing speed and ball speed. I've check it with trackman and it is super accurate.

I use it for swing speed training.
