What is Club Head Speed

Posted by Todd Mann | 11/01/2009

Club head speed is the acceleration through the golf ball that is required to send the ball on its way. The more club head speed that is achieved, the further the ball will travel. Men tour players generate an average of 115 MPH of club head speed. The typical week end golfer produces about 90 MPH of club head speed.

Club head speed is measured in MPH. Club head speed is the speed in which the club travels during the downswing and should not be confused with ball speed. Ball speed is the speed in which the ball travels after it is hit. The average tour player (men) achieves ball speeds up to 180 MPH.
