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.
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.

Lighter overall weight.
Correct loft for swingspeed.

Smaller wheel at the base of the endless belt - i.e take it back wide and bring it down narrow.

For clubhead speed:
1. A longer club can help, only if more power can be supplied. Otherwise, the rpm slows down.
2. Faster pivot rotation
3. Faster and more active arms pulling in "swinging" or pushing in "hitting".
3. More passive wrists in "swinging" and active wrists in "hitting".
4. Harder snapping.
For distance:
1. Higher clubhead speed at impact to deform the ball more.
2. Higher clubhead speed at separation by resisting against ball reformation (or "impact deceleration") or "sustaining the line of compression" with higher clubhead acceleration rate (at impact).

More passive wrists in "swinging", so that the Over-taking (or "Release" or "Inertia") of the club won't be interrupted.
More active wrists in "hitting", so that the bending (or flex) of the shaft (against the clubhead "Lag") can be sustained.
