Surfed for a while and found these numbers from different sources:
Michelle Wie and Annika Sörenstam were both on 103 a few years ago.
In 2006 Wie had upped to 108 and Annika to 105.
In 2003 one of the slowest on the PGA tour was Rocco Mediate at 106.
Ernie Els has or had 115.
The majority of the professionals are over 115.
Tiger and Daly can go 130 and maybe past that.
Anyone else with an idea about pro numbers? They have obviously gone up a fraction over the last few years. I'd like to see the complete table of swing speeds measured on stock drives + maxed out drives.
Why? Well I need a carrot for gym training and I'd like to set a number to reach myself - for regular day-in-day-out stock drives, and I feel it'd be nice to pick a target number that is more or less what 90% of the pros would beat.
Would 110 be a good number?
