Driver Ball Speed

Posted by: user127691 | Sat 27th Nov 2010 15:12 | Last Reply

I have been using the simulator at the local driving range and it appear my average ball speed with the driver is around the 160mph mark with a range of about 155mph on a steady swing up to 172mph max ball speed with an all out swing.

I'm not to sure what this all means so I was after a few views on a couple of questions this this has raised for me.

Is this a standard ball speed it seemed alot faster than my playing partner but one of those was 72 so it is probably not the best point of compsrisson.

What sort of distance should this kid of ball speed produce? The simulator seemed to suggest alot less than I was expecting.

I apprecite with out a swing speed it is a little difficult to say but I am using a stiff shaft at the moment, would I benefit from something stiffer or softer?

Thanks for that Sanders.

Also just to clarify my playing partner was 72 years old, his ball sped was around the 120mph speed. I didn't think that was to bad bad obvioulsy not something to compare mine to to closley to though due to the age difference.
