Smash speed comparison — what are you hitting?

Measured my smash with a speedgun at our club session and hit 142km/h on a good day. Our club pro said most club players sit around 120-130, county players hit 150+. Not sure how accurate the device was but it was a useful benchmark. What speeds are others getting? Is it worth investing time in power training or should I focus on placement instead at my level?

At club level I'd focus on placement over power. The 150km/h smash is useless if it's straight into the net or out. Consistent 130km/h placement wins more points.
