Driver vs. 3 wood clubhead speed

[cmow]

A question for those of you who have launch monitors ...

What kind of a dropoff in speed do you usually see when someone hits their driver off of a tee vs. hitting a 3 wood off the ground?

A couple years ago I did a driver fitting on a Trackman and had clubhead speed usually around 107-108. This weekend I did a 3 wood fitting (off the ground) on a Flightscope and it was showing clubhead speed around 95. Just wondering if that was a normal dropoff based on the clubs being used, or if old age is creeping up on me

PGA Tour average drop is 5mph between Driver and Wood3

Very similar with what I see amateurs doing as well. 4-7 range depending on the player.

Cmow, it is tough to get truly comparable numbers with different clubs across such a wide timeline.

I found the output from my trackman fitting session from a few years ago and forgot that the 107-108 driver speed was what I had once we found the best shaft for me. For the other shafts in the fitting, it was around 104. So subtract 5-7 off of 104 and factor in some early season rust, I'm guessing I'm probably swinging roughly about the same. Thanks for your replies...
