I have no idea who you are or what you look like, but I can promise you your speed wasn't anywhere in the range of 111 mph no matter what the machine said.
why do you say that? I've literally had golf lessons and been playing golf since i could walk. My golf team in high school won the state championship anchored by Hunter Mahan (we had Britney Lang on our womens team).
My handicap? Right now about 12, back in my prime I was scratch.
and yes I hit the ball over 300 all the time, you wuss's get so jealous when someone on here says they hit the ball 300 because yall can barely get 250

Also, you may want to get it checked again somewhere else. Dicks, and other retailers like Dicks, fudge their computers.
I've always heard this but there is never any evidence to support it
I don't think they can really just "adjust" the readings...unless they constantly have a 20mph tailwind that you don't notice

Because it's almost impossible for a 111 swing speed to compute to 300.

This is the reason I call bullshite on your whole deal. You aren't that old and far removed from high school (apparently). You don't go from scratch to a 12 unless you have put the clubs down for years, and if that was the case, you wouldn't be hitting it 300.
Any more of your bullshite you want me to debunk?

Hitting inside a blacked out cardboard box upstairs in a sporting goods store isn't the best place to generate swing numbers IMO.

No you wasn't, I've never met a scratch who turned into a 12, I'll give ya 5 a side.

I graduated high school in 2002, the prime of my game was when i was a sophomore so 2000.
I put the clubs down for many years, about 10, just picking them back up again. The reason I am about a 12 is because im lost around the green, still trying to get that short game back.

From what I understand, it has something to do with the sensitivity of the sensor.

so much butthurt in this thread! 
I dont think im some incredible athlete/golfer, just thought it was cool that i can still hit the shite out of the ball and wanted to let my besties on the OT know about it!
I dont even claim to be a good golfer, actually if someone asked me i'd say i was pretty shitty, but i can hit the ball a long way, gotta look at the positives right?

thanks, it is pretty cool
I was just using it as an example that I have played golf at a high level in my past

Any a-hole can drive the ball 300 yards.
