There are many factors of which swing speed is just one.
This.
Edit...Weight, Tempo, and Release matter as much (or more) than swingspeed as a standlone.
For example...take a look at Stenson's vs. Sergio's swing...Stenson generates tons of speed...but he doesn't load the shaft as hard...or release as late as Sergio.
Swingspeed differences between the two are only ~3-4 MPH with the Driver.
They have very different swings, and that's part of the reason they play very different shafts.
Their shafts are almost opposite of each other.
Stenson = Modus 120X
Sergio = Modus 130X
Here is a graph of the shaft profiles.
I've owned both, and they feel and perform very very differently.
