just came from golf store i work at and went through fitting myself again, i do this every couple months just to stay on top and its free and i can do it my self. my swing speed with my 6 iron is 92-93 which is pretty fast so this spring i am going to switch to x100 beings i have a fast tempo and harsh transistion. Now here's the funny thing, my driver i could only get up to arround 105. it stayed between 102-105 which is slow compared to my 6 iron. what swing flaws could be causing this. if you need videos let me know and i will post them later.

thanks

Well, do you go all out to nuke your 6 iron? Do you let up on your driver? I don't see it as a problem, if your hitting each well, you shouldn't worry about it.

I dont believe that there is a lot more than that for difference in the two clubs. For instance My 5 iron swing speed is between 90-95 and my Driver is 100-105.

What are your distances? If they're fine I wouldn't worry about it. Could be machine error.

Not really a big deal.

My 6 iron swing speed is about the same as yours and my driver swing speed is about 109.

Depending on the weight of your driver and length of your driver there might not be all that much difference.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 33 (20 Feb 26) - played the Friday men’s group shootout.  Solid day of working from some tough shot results - made for a good number of up and downs for par (8 of the 9 pars were such). Cart mate and I discussed the visual aspect of the game - and how much it plays into the individual’s mindset during the round.  Love when the discussion is focused on learning and taking positives away and not just how bad the miss may be.

      My Swing (iacas)

      By iacas · Posted

      Still kinda working on the backswing stuff. I can turn < 45°, but I tend to tilt toward the target a little. I can tilt away from the target, but I tend to turn a bit more. Case in point. I can do it, though: This I can do all day (it's more lateral than I want, but it's very linear): Here's what 38° of turn looks like. Almost freaking nothing.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
