Is it worth that same $100 to find out how to increase your top speed and still stay in control?
Thanks, OnePutt. I see what you're saying, and this'll sound dumb but... I'm not that scientific in my approach to learning the game. I enjoy the process of experimentation, feeling my way to what works best. I think I may learn things more solidly (if more slowly) by trial and error(s). That said, I'm sure there are many people whose approach to learning would include radar info on their swing speed.
