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.

      Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By snapfade ·

      Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀

      RIP Peter Oosterhuis

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts.

      Day 50. Hand path follow through and face control technique work. 🤯 in a good way.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By Clemsonfan ·

      I have been playing the Tour X for several years and find it to be a great ball. I buy them at Golf Galaxy and they often run sales. Was able you buy a box of 48 for $90 after applying a coupon from Dick’s Sporting Goods. I am a big fan!
