Collected Data for swing speed study

Today I went out and hit some balls to collect data for my swing speed study.
It was a really nice day. The temperature was about 40 degrees and the sun out with not to many clouds.
There was a slight breeze. I didn't have any expectations for my ballstriking because i have not hit balls since the last time i collected data on November 20th. So my new swing speed data is...

Club                 Average Swing Speed (mph)                    Std. Deviation
 
 Driver                               103.8                                                 4.467
 5 Iron                                 93                                                  10.883
 9 Iron                                73.4                                                  4.501


I noticed an increase in club speed of 2.7 mph with the driver, an increase of 5.1 mph with my 5 iron and a decrease in speed of 6.2 mph with my 9 iron. My numbers were more inconsistant shot to shot this time around and I am not sure if the irons are so different because of hitting off of mats this time or not. Also with the driver I had a much larger spread of data compared to before. Unfortunately I dont have much confidence in this data and am going to try and get some time on a TrackMan to get a better idea of my swing speeds.
