Club speed (also called clubhead speed or swing speed) is the velocity of the clubhead at the moment of impact, measured in miles per hour. It is the engine of distance — every additional mph of club speed translates to roughly 2.3 mph of ball speed and 5.5 yards of carry with a properly-fit driver. The fastest PGA Tour drivers swing at 125+ mph; LPGA averages around 94 mph; the average male amateur is 93 mph.
Club speed is largely athletic — you can train it like any other physical attribute. Speed training programs (SuperSpeed, Stack System, etc.) routinely add 5–8 mph in 6 weeks. For an average golfer, that's 25–40 yards of additional driving distance, which is the difference between a 7-iron and a 5-iron into most par 4s.
TrackMan iO uses ceiling-mounted dual radar to track the clubhead through the entire impact zone. The reading is accurate to ±0.5 mph — the same precision used by club manufacturer R&D and PGA Tour fitting vans.
