Driver Swing Speed Slower in Relation to Iron Swing Speed

[Stoicc]

I'm not sure where I'm supposed to post a topic like this but anyways.

Hey everyone I'm new here and was wondering if anyone might have any thoughts on what this issue for me might be! I am 22 years old, a +2 golfer and I used to swing my driver around 114-116mph with a normal swing and could hit 120mph when I was going after it really hard. But now a year/year and a half later I can't seem to break the 110 barrier even though my irons swing speeds have stayed the same.

Trackman's PGA Tour stats show that the AVG 5-iron swing speed is 94mph and the AVG driver swing speed is 113mph. So for example of what I mean when I say my driver swing speed in relation to iron swing speed is this:

I can swing my 5-iron 98-100 mph (4-6mph faster than AVG) and my driver is now 107-109 (4-6mph slower than AVG) and I can't go any faster even when I swing full throttle. So I am now under the PGA AVG with driver even though my irons are still faster than AVG. I just got RE-fit for a driver by Club Champion Golf a week ago and I didn't see an improvement in club head speed with driver still. Also, I swing my 3-wood 105-108mph so I'm not sure why I can't go any faster with my driver Any ideas as to why would this be? 

Lack of Confidence, Trying to control it too much, I don't know anything else that it could be because I've actually STARTED working out 4 times a week and stretching everyday since a month ago.

Part of it could be related to working out.  If certain muscles get too big, it's not good for your golf swing.  Yes, you'll be stronger, but you won't be able to move as quick.  

It doesn't surprise me that you didn't notice an improvement in club head speed after your driver fitting.  Getting fit doesn't change anything about your swing...it will just fit the club to your current swing.

Do you think your swing speed has been slowly getting slower over the past 1 1/2 years, or is it something that happened suddenly?  I'm guessing you've noticed a loss in distance with your driver, but not your other clubs?  If you have the data from your fitting, I'd like to see it.

Maybe try some different shafts at a local store? At your level maybe you just need a change in shaft?
