It has often been quoted that a ball travels at around 100mph or 160kph.  However I found this interesting article recently about Ball Speed.  The article's claim is that the highest speeds are under 70mph or 110 kph.

There was also a World Fastest Smash competition that was won with a smash of around 112 kph.
