Hi, I'm swinging plenty fast, just not in the impact zone. i swing my sand wedge 110-120 mph max, but only 80-86 in impact zone. Hand speed is 13-17 at impact and 21-23 mph max, but once again, not in the impact zone. i've thought maybe im releasing early or late, tinkered round with that; no luck. hip turn, spinning out, should i "pause" or "brake" in the downswing? thoughts? thanks, dan

Is there a new rule im unaware of that says you have to know a certain amount of stuff about golf and the golf swing before you can join tst and start learning? We're not supposed to drive away new

Clubhead speed is 120 MPH with your sand wedge?

yes. not every time. average is 102-105 but just past impact zone.


I doubt it.

I'm not sure what numbers you're getting, but… they don't seem to be clubhead speed. The clubhead is also not going faster AFTER impact than before. The ball slows the clubhead down dramatically.

I think there is a "units" issue here. kph and not mph?

these swings are without balls. measured on my zepp. at the impact zone im 80-86. just after there is a slight decrease in speed followed by a big increase. this is where my max speed is being recorded. (102-105 avg, max: 121)

Did you put your arm length as 50 inches or something like that?

I don't think the numbers are accurate. Get on a FlightScope or something. Record your swing with some good high-speed video, and post them in the Member Swings section.

Plus, I'm not particularly interested in practice swings.

That doesn't make sense, speed doesn't increase after impact.

Have you recorded your swing hitting a ball? That will probably give you more of an accurate reading.

ive hit plenty of balls on gc2 hmt and the speed is also 80-86 at impact. but it wont tell me the max.


It's probably 80-86. I don't trust the 100+ at any level.

Agree with Erik, it's probably 80-86. How far do you hit your 7 iron, driver?

Your numbers are way out there and they're hard to believe. Did you go to the link @iacas posted? Pros average driver carry is 275 and 7 iron 172. Somehow I doubt your technique is better than a pro's driver (hardest club to hit in the bag) but your irons are that much worse.

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.

      Winter Depression Thread

      By StuM ·

      Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.
