Using the ball speed to swing speed calculators below, you can convert your standard yardages for each of your clubs to find your approximate swing speed and ball speed.
I’ve always been interested in the physics of golf and the different speeds that different club lengths and lofts can produce. And if you’ve ever wondered how hard you need to swing a pitching wedge to hit it 200 yards, now you can! Just select the best calculator tool for distance and club head speed.
