What should Swing Speed be?

Goal
Swing Speed should be as fast as possible, but depends on age, ability, mobility, stability, strength, and power.

Pro Average
110 to 130 mph

Amateur Average
85 to 105 mph

Metric Tip
Postural instability is the major cause of slow Swing Speed.

Place feet shoulder-width apart and body into proper posture. This will allow the torso and arms to rotate efficiently around a neutrally aligned spine.
Maintain an athletic posture throughout the entire swing, swinging as quickly as possible while maintaining balance.
