Nick Cook Mar 2021 3:33pm, 17 Mar 2021 35,203 posts	Quote Pin Nick Cook I can't measure swing speed, but the added weight does ensure I get onto the front foot correctly. I sometimes try with my driver to make sure it happens with that. The bright, yellow ball on the end means I can see the swing path easier too. (Too many out to ins)!

I bought a launch monitor at pretty much the same time as golf got shut down again this winter, so I never go to use it yet... but it can tell me swing speed, so I've tried wafting the driver around in front of it in the garden a bit. What I think is my 'normal' golf swing is a pretty feeble 85-ish mph. If I really try to swing fast, I can get 105-ish (although I'd be fearing missing the ball altogether it's so out of control). And then you see Bryson et al giving it 130+ mph
