I have heard that the minimum tour level clubhead speed is somewhere around 107, or so with a driver. If anyone has the exact number, that would be good. Most people have lower than that, and there are the few that have speeds on up there. I think Fred Couples is around 113, and John Daly is around 130 m.p.h..
How about a discussion of the various ways of increasing CLUBHEAD SPEED, and thus, DISTANCE. I'll start.
1. A longer club... This will sometimes work, if the player can handle the longer, and often heavier club. Wedgy Winchester, won one of the Long Drive Competitions with a very long club, howerer, I don't see many good players using the very long clubs.
