Thank you for sharing.

It's possible that he meant, "you have enough power to now focus on consistent contact and making the shots you need to score well". I said "possible".

I would tend to agree because even with that jacked up number, you have more than enough physicality to handle that aspect of the game.  Now it's all about impact...that's what it is all about.

Welcome to the game and forum Anthony.  I've been playing for a year and got my HC down to around 14, so it is possible.  As others have said, focus on a good consistent swing that makes good contact.  You can swing out of your shoes, but if the trajectory is low or worse, sideways then you will actually lose distance.  Go back to the launch monitor and only focus on making good contact ONLY with the driver and see what your 80 - 85% swing speed is.  That would be more realistic.  If you could be consistent at 105, then you should be fine and hitting >250 yard drive in the fairway.

Whoa guy. You from Jersey Shore bro? 3-4 months with the last month being snow and a 115 swing speed? You'll be on the tour pulling mass chicks getting your flex on by summer.

If I'm regularly hitting an 8 iron 145 yards what kind of shafts should I be looking at? Currently I have regular flex in all my irons.

Regular is probably fine (depends a lot on if 145 is carry or total, is your 8 iron really a 7 iron, tempo, shaft manufactors,....) but you could also be a stiff. You would need to get on a machine to tell you that.

I gotta see this swing.  Can the OP post it to YouTube and send us a link.  I'm picturing a Happy Gilmore running start.

Thanks for the reply. 145 is carry, my 8i doesn't usually roll out very much after that. My clubs are over 10 years old so I "think" my 8 iron is an 8 iron.
