Hey guys. Just a quick question, my swing speed with a 6 iron has been measured by Trackman as 86mph, does anybody know what this will equate to with a driver?

probably looking at about 10-15mph more with your driver i think. My 6 iron was recorded at 75mph both with flightscope and the dna software and flightscope recorded my driver speed starting off at 85mph and once warmed up it was 91mph.

Thanks guys, just checked and my average was 86.7mph (6i), I was thinking around 105, so it is about right.

I would say +20% is a decent estimation to work with 6 iron > driver

A safe estimate would be similar to what the other guys are saying but it all depends on what your driver swing is like. My 6 iron speed is low-mid 80's and my driver swing used to be around 105. I say used to be because since I started lessons I've found that I hit the ball further and more consistent swinging much more within myself at around 95. My old, faster swing would have a smash factor of 1.40 whereas my current slower swing is always between 1.48 and 1.50 meaning I have a much more efficient power transfer. This coupled with more consistent strike locations equal better overall driving. Best thing to do is get down to a local pro with flightscope/trackman or an American golf/other store and ask to try some drivers out. Most likely they'll stick you on a machine and then you can see for yourself.

My 6 iron DNA swing was 83 mph, my track man driver speed was 102 mph. Why do you want to know your driver speed? If it's for shaft selection you are possibly like me and you fall In between S and R for driver shafts. I am loving the Graphalloy Blue R flex driver shaft. This shaft definitely plays stiffer than Regular but has a little more whip than most S shafts I've tried.
