Yeah, you have me beat, my average is 118mph and top out at 123mph.
The one thing I have notice is that Vector launch monitors I’ve seen seem to be inaccurate, I was at a demo day and trying out a Cobra 3 wood, the launch monitor kept saying I was hitting it a total 230 roughly, yet I was flying over the 250 yard marker (my average 3 wood 270). Since then I fail to trust Vectors, they always short change you, Trackman and Zelocity are two that I do like though.
My normal driver head speed for normal swinging is about 125. Adding near 7 inches to the shaft though gets you a lot of additional MPH.
I still remember one of my long drive compeitions where I just smashed one and knew I got all of it. Turn to the monitor to watch it and it carried 398. Unfortunatly it hit a real mushy spot from the previous days rain. Trickled out to 401. I was pissed.
