Google: Cameron Pilley, 176mph.
‘Google, what is the fastest female squash shot recorded?’

Despite the technology existing, and being routinely used in competitions that have female teams/competitors, it’s surprisingly difficult to find records of fastest female squash, handball, waterpolo, lacrosse, hockey, golf shots.

Shout out to badminton, tennis and volleyball, though. Rather than pack up and go home, they leave their equipment on while the females play.
Male record badminton smash: 426kmh.
Female record badminton smash: 372kmh.
That’s a 13% gap, not as big as many other throwing (with lever) differences.
But Jesus, a bloke can hit a shuttlecock as fast as a Bugatti Veyron 😯

Would be interested to hear @Martina on why female tennis is really well-covered compared with other sports (stats etc). Popularity? Demand for info? To feed down into grass roots schemes?
