OK. We're talking about two different things here.> My definition of swing speed is the time elapsed> from the instant the clubhead starts the takeaway> to the moment of impact.
I've never been inclined to hold a stop watch over my or someone else's swing. The fact that TOUR pros have faster swing speeds compared to average players does not surprize, but I would also venture the more enlightening figure would be the variance in those speeds. I willing to bet the best ball strikers, you could set a clock by, whereas the mid handicap player probably has a great variance between their fastest and slowest swing. Any observation to that effect?

What is more interesting is to compare the speed and tempo of a pro when he's playing well and when he's playing poorly.

No. The clubhead starts back on the count of "1" and impact is on the count of "5" giving four intervals; 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5. Think of it like a fence that has 4 panels supported by 5 posts. o --- o --- o --- o --- o
