If you can consistent get 1.46-1.47 on a vector you can't really do much better "all the time." 110 swing speed x 1.44 = 158.4mph of ball speed 107 swing speed x 1.48 = 158.4mph of ball speed As you can see, you can swing faster with bad contact or swing slower with better contact. Most people would improve their "smash factor" and overball ball speed by swinging @ 80% on focussing on sweet spot contact. Thanks! Hit it closer to the center of gravity = you get better. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
