110 to 120 you're blowing it 30 past Chris  :lol:
I saw a LOT of swing speeds in the mid 130's in the open division.  It seems like if you're approaching 140 you can make something happen, but that doesn't matter if you don't have well fitted equipment and you don't hit the ball solid.

I seen the guys in the Senior division swing 128-130mph and they were getting 350 to 370yds. That could be 50yds of roll I don't know. Salty

If you can make solid contact at a speed over 130-135 you have a pretty good chance at winning some events. The top guys in the sport make solid contact over 145.

Oh I wish I could make solid contact!  :cry:
