How Far Should Your Driver Swingspeed Go? 60 to 120 mph Guide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лют 2024
- Golfers worldwide have long debated drive distances.
And modern launch monitors have introduced terms like driver swing speed (or clubhead speed) into discussions, allowing players to compare not just how many yards they hit the ball but also how fast they swing their driver.
The critical role of driver swing speed in determining potential drive distance is clear: higher speeds increase the likelihood of longer drives.
So in this video we examine:
- The relationship between swing speed and drive distance
- The required speed for specific distance milestones, including the magical 300-yard mark, and
- Why focusing solely on swing speed without considering other factors can lead to wasted potential.

As always excellent vlog. Please keep them coming.
Many thanks for the feedback. It is much appreciated and delighted you are enjoying the videos! 👍
Great video. Personally dont use drivers only long irons,prefer less distance more direction and deliberately slowed my swing speed. Sweetly struck on my 2 iron it will go 240 max then after another iron in,sometimes arrive in 2 on par 4s or rarely 2 on par 5 but usually 3. Never got on with a driver,too variable but thats personal.
Cool new music! I have gone to three places this offseason with either simulators or shot monitors and have yet to see one that shows my club head speed; all had ball speed. The latter, as you pointed out, is the most important in terms of distance production but I am still curious about how fast I'm swinging the club. It looks like the differential is about 30-40 mph, that is, the ball speed will be that much faster than the swing. I'm figuring I may need a tutorial with those systems as I think they could show the club speed data, but most places have little in the way of instruction on that front (quite often staff are newbies with the software, haha!).
Just take the driver ball speed and divide it by 1.5 to get a good estimate of clubhead speed.
@@dsc-nr5zy Smash factor for sure can give you some sort of estimate but would be wary of just dividing by 1.5 given that is the perfect score. Bad strikes can obviously give pretty poor smash factor results. Some of mine can be in the low 1.3s which would obviously give a different clubhead speed estimate in any calculation. Is a tricky one unfortunately if your launch monitor doesn't give you the output number but if you have nothing else and have some benchmark smash factor numbers that you typically hit could be a rough and ready approach way round it? Would be interested to hear what you and others though of that or any other ideas?
Many thanks for the feedback and noticing the music! I was having a wager with the video editor whether anyone would pick up on it and looks like he won😂 Without the read out clubhead speed number its frustrating for sure and its very difficult to just have a 'general' deduct this mph from each one as obviously every shot and strike is different. Different places as you say have different launch monitors and then different software packages the cheapest of which give less info. Do the monitors you've been too give a smash factor number you could maybe use out of interest to calculate clubhead speed yourself - i.e. ball speed divided by smash factor will give your swingspeed number0?Ball speed is often judged by ‘smash factor’ which is calculated by dividing ball speed by club/swing speed. The closer the smash factor to the perfect score of 1.5 the better the energy transfer from the club to the ball.
There is one problem with swing speed at impact.
It ignores acceleration occurring just fractions of seconds prior to hitting contact with the ball, that creates the most accurate and correct ball speed and distance(depending then also on the perfect location of the strike on the ball and spin created).
Do you have a source for this or is this golf urban myth?
It’s PHYSICS! Really you don’t know that?
If the acceleration of a club making contact with the ball at 150 mph is increasing then the ball will be driven further; if the acceleration at time of impact is decreasing at the time of contact the ball will travel shorter distance.
Use the formulas of physics and look at the numbers.
@@atfinthehouse8631 I got A's in high school and college physics. I went to UNC. It was so funny seeing Duke kids take it in the summer at UNC and getting demoralized with Cs. Lol, good times. Good chat. Take care.
@QueensWino… It’s 50% give or take,So Assuming a Center Hit and a Square face at impact with the right amount of spin 100 mph club head speed will produce 150mph Ball Speed and that translates to all swing speeds,When you see tour pros at 180mph ball speed their club head speed is going to be 120 mph,A slight miss hit or really high spin will quite drastically effect the ball speed though…
All I know is that I get older I swing slower.
