One of the key areas of focus for Titleist with these irons was ball speed. Obviously, the faster a ball travels the further it’s likely to go, and Titleist noticed that the average ball speed gaps between player groups has widened over the years. Their research says that the average driver ball speed of a PGA Tour player is 165 MPH, while the average of a 5-9 handicap player is 145 MPH. That’s a 20 MPH difference, and it continues on through every club in the set.
