In our forums, our members have been discussing clubhead speed on tour. WRXer ‘Emperor Penguin’ asks members what they feel is the lowest clubhead speed possible to make it on tour and who has the slowest swing speed on tour.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- ram1002: “Slowest average speed on the tour in 2019 was David Hearn at 105 mph. Brian Gay second slowest at 106 mph.”
- Golfnutgalen: “David Toms was a hair over 100 right before he switched to the Champions Tour in 2016.”
- oikos1: “2019 PGA Champions Tour stats have Chris Dimarco, at age 50, averaging 265.2 off the tee. Made around $400,00. Maybe a good iron and short game still have merit.”
- FakeClubPro: “Was it 2018 that Francesco Molinari won The Open and was tearing it up on the European and PGA Tour. He is not the longest hitter by far but was deadly with his irons and around the greens.”
- Sean2: “I think Kuchar’s SS is 108 mph. He hasn’t done too badly.”
