Clubhead Speed Speed Test
The headline number — speed delivered at impact, and the clearest objective measure of a golfer's physical ceiling.
Fundamentals
What the test is really measuring
The Headline Number
Clubhead speed is the single most impactful physical performance metric in golf — a direct, objective measure of a player's physical ceiling, and the one data point worth tracking over time.
Highly Trainable
Speed is trainable, easily repeatable, and directly correlated to distance, scoring potential, and long-term performance. Strength, mobility, sequencing, and coordination all drive it up.
Benchmarked by Category
Benchmarks are segmented by male, female, senior, and junior — each with defined tiers — so you can set a baseline, choose realistic targets, and progress athletes systematically.
Why it matters
The single most impactful metric in your game.
We can't control what happens in competition — we can control a player's physical ceiling. Test with intentional max-speed swings on a consistent launch-monitor setup, record your best and your average of the top swings, and track the trend over time. Speed testing is about potential, not playability.
