Speeding Ticket
According to Dick Rugge, Senior Technical Director for the USGA, the average tour players swing speed is approximately 113 mph (at what point in the motion it is measured is not mentioned). He further states that there are some that swing higher than 120 mph, but they are clearly in the minority.

BTW, the USGA uses 120 mph as their test method to control ball distance. Coincidence? I think not.
