The reason that my interest was peaked regarding the ratio of ballspeed/swingspeed was from watching an analysis of Keny Perry's swing. Swingspeed 106 mph, ballspeed 177 mph. Drive 325 yds. I have been told by a national class clubfitter, that a ration of 1.5 is all he could wish for in a fit. Perry's 1.66 means he has all of the cosmic tumblers clicking into place at impact. Amazing.

Trust me...they've been having problems having the swing speed read correctly. I remember a few weeks ago when they showed John Daly swinging at 109 with a ball speed of 184mph!
Kenny swings in the 115+ range as do most on tour. I'd say the average swing speed on tour is around the 110-112 range taking into account some super long hitters (tiger, vj, phil, hend, kuehne, sergio etc etc) and the shorter hitters (pavin, roberts, etc etc).
If you can get really close to the 1.50 range you're doing pretty damn good

I remember them showing a 6 or 7 iron that VJ hit at the tournament Ted Purdy won a couple weeks ago, his swing speed was 88mph and his ball speed i think was 124-125. Smash of 1.42
