Should I get more speed out of my driver?

[tmz016]

Hi all

 

My 7-iron speed is around 98-99mph on a controlled swing, and driver around 115. I can get it up 1-2mph more by swinging super hard, but I never do.
Based on my 7-iron speed, is the driver speed expected or "should" I get more out of the driver?

I have a pretty bad back, so I don't know if it's a mental thing or if it's simply because of bad driver technique. 

Hcp around 2, and hits the driver generally pretty straight.

I'm a couple mph slower on iron speed, couple higher on driver speed... but club head speed is generally irrelevant.  I can swing the driver at 125 if I really want to, but it goes farther when I'm around 118.

If you got a bad back 115 is plenty hard lol.....  heal up and get that back thing behind you, see what I did there, then you can get after if needed but 115 is solid

Why?

 

2 capper, really good swing speed naturally, straight and you want to chase more speed - are you intending to go semi-pro?

 

If you have time, go spend the time more WISELY figuring out if you have a swing/back issue instead of chasing 1-2 mph...Hel,l if you get more AoA, you can get your vaunted distance

 

If not, enjoy and thank God for what he's given you have already... 😎
