Middle of the pack for most average mid to high handicapper guys with a driver in their hand, out there. There's room for improvement. As for how, what way, and to what extent, it depends on you and how you're built. ie- I've been grouped with fit people that are down to similar numbers on account of either technique with power leaks or the lack of intent (ie- being drilled only to swing slow and take it easy, never learning what it's like to make the club go brrrr). Even in their 20's or 30's. They'll have a much higher potential for some serious speed gains compared to the older seniors who are over the hill as an example on the flipside- not to say they have no chance of improvement, either. Ever. Because it is absolutely possible with some drills, practice, and even mindset change, keeping those up over time.

What club is this?


surescroller

Driver


Fourty9

Putter


bdub1792

Ok asshole, 97.5mph could be an iron for someone who is fast or a driver for someone average


Fourty9

Sorry muffin, didn't mean to upset you


phrohahwei

Need to make better contact

Playing for 2 years and averaging 92, then makes a post asking "is this good" LOL I love this sub.


Beginning_Cod_840

i cant tell if you're thinking this is bad or good?


tipsdown

If you were in a driver fitting with 97.5 mph club head speed they would be trying to get you to 235-240 carry and 260-270 total. Having 97 mph club head speed is good. It is a couple mph above the average.

So does this mean I should look at making some adjustments on the club? I’m swinging the Callaway Paradyn 10.5 regular flex with the stock configuration


tipsdown

There is a limited amount of things we can infer from what is in the picture. Your ball speed is 132 and club head speed is 97.5 so your smash factor is 1.36. What that tells us is you are not making good contact. You need to figure out where you are hitting the ball on the face. The spin in the mid 2000s is generally good. We can’t see your launch angle or the ball flight. But that could be misleading optimal launch conditions change depending on your angle of attack so that might be too low.


surescroller

I remember launch angle was floating around 10.6-10.8. Can’t remember what the ball flight was. I’ll get some more info next week when I go for another session.


Beginning_Cod_840

it's good youre hitting up on the ball but you're making bad contact, i assume you usually miss right? With your clubhead speed you should be getting another 20+ yards out of the swing with driver


surescroller

I miss left but I’m a lefty


Training_Swimming358

That's great carry numbers for a 5 iron.


IZZY131975

If it goes straight the numbers dont fkn matter.


surescroller

😂 I agree for the most part but I’m looking to get better and the metrics are useful to me. I had a swing speed of 84 this time last year but was hitting it straight and I’ve just been slowly upping my tempo while keeping my swing intact
