Ground Force Speed Potential
Vertical ground reaction force is highly correlated with clubhead speed. Calculate your theoretical maximum driver speed based on vertical force generation.

Assuming center contact (1.45 smash) and optimal launch conditions.
The Force-Speed Curve
Without JavaScript, use this reference table for vertical force generation (assuming a 180lb golfer with optimal mechanics):
| Force (% Bodyweight) | Approx. Speed Potential |
|---|---|
| 120% (Avg Amateur) | ~92 mph |
| 150% (Good Amateur) | ~102 mph |
| 180% (Tour Average) | ~113 mph |
| 210%+ (Long Drive) | ~125+ mph |
