Should of seen the look on the other guy’s faces when they saw that I was fitted for a 7.5* driver with a ProLaunch Red X-Stiff, thing works wonders for me though.

I remember one time when I went to a local golf shop to get some numbers off the launch meter and head speed measured. I knew the manager of the shop and set me up with one of his new guys to mess with him.

As he introduced me to the kid and sent us on our way he said to him "don't be surprised by what you see."

After a couple minute warm up, I proceeded to put up numbers the kid just couldn't believe. Swing speed of 158 MPH and ball speed of 203.

Of course, it wasn't a "standard" club either.

Had a 50" Penley Ultron XXX shaft, and Titleist 975D 5.5 degree head on it.

But it was sure fun to watch the kids reactions to the numbers coming up.

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.
