Many male amateur golfers swing their clubs at speeds ranging from 80 to 90 mph on average. Players on the LPGA Tour average 90-100 mph. Golfers on the PGA Tour have swing speeds averaging 110-115 mph, while long drive competitors may reach 140 mph. Your ball speed, on the other hand, is just as critical. Ask about your ball speed if you can hit your driver on a launch monitor. Ideally, it should be 1.5 times your swing speed. This demonstrates your mastery of club speed. When it comes to ball speed, you can immediately see whether your swing is underutilized.
