Who really generates the fastest clubhead speed? Is it all about clubhead lag or does a larger arc have more to do with it?

Launch monitor said 114mph for my fastest of the 3 I tried. I don't swing it that fast when I'm really playing though.

lol at you thinking you average 121.3 mph, which is pretty much equal to Tiger, hmm?

I probably swing it at about 95 mph, maybe 100 if I swing out of my shoes.

Alot of people care, swing speed is a great way to measure results. And I do not speak for everyone, but I am sure most hit it on the "sweet spot" that you are referring too...

I swing inbetween a 92-105 MPH.

That is a hell of a range. Something's not right there.

I haven't gotten my swing speed tested but my ball speeds were averaging around 143-144 maxing at 146 with slippery shoes and tons of masking tape on the clubface (at dicks on their simulator thing). I suppose that's around 100?

105 or so with a normal swing. May be a bit higher since I changed the way I swing at it (and the ball is going considerably further on iron shots.) 110 if I'm going to rip it, and worry about finding it later. Then again, I'm that way all the time off the tee...so, meh.

My lag is pretty inconsistent so for the first part of '08 I'm working on making a longer arc. I'm 6'4'' and I've always swung like I was in a telephone booth with my irons.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
