The need for speed.
The average Tour Player's swing speed 113 mph with a driver (USGA).
The average Tour Player's 5 iron distance 185 yards (shotlink).

Maximum effort with a 5 iron 96 mph?
The average men's swing speed is 86 mph with a driver.
The average women's swing speed is 68 mph with a driver.

I don't think you have anything to worry about in this regard.

However, per 1-L-12, Ball Speed is dependent on both before Impact and after Impact Clubhead Speed.
