Whitey Grandad Posted 25 September, 2014 Share Posted 25 September, 2014 That can't be right. A quick look around using the power of the internet says the average speed of the ball after being kicked is at least 60mph, and the hardest shot recorded is over 130mph. It must have been quicker than 64.2mph or else it really was keeper error! Is that for real, are you sure it's not kph? According to Guinness the fatstest was David Hirst in 1996 at 114mph but only for just under 15 yds. The ball starts losing speed quite quickly. How about this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 25 September, 2014 Share Posted 25 September, 2014 So if that is correct, then Clyne's shot was actually slower than the average ball speed after a ball is kicked by a professional footballer... Anything over 60mph is fast, that's 88 ft/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
