^^Molinari also averaged 301 off the tee.

 

Edit if I recall correctly the swing speed number is gathered from a much smaller number of shots. Wasn't Potter Jr pretty short on average last year?

Great chart. Very helpful.

 

It assumes the player is hitting the center of the club face. Many amateurs would hit the ball farther by slowing down their swings and making better contact.
