Hit 100 drywall screws in under 3 minutes and surprised myself

I was hanging some drywall in my garage last weekend and decided to time myself just for fun. I got 100 screws into the board in 2 minutes and 47 seconds using just my regular Dewalt driver. That seemed fast to me, so I looked up what pros usually do and they average around 3 to 4 minutes for the same count. I think the trick is I got into a rhythm where I was grabbing screws from my pouch without looking. Also I pre-drilled the stud locations with a chalk line so I wasn't guessing. Has anyone else timed themselves on a simple drywall task and found they were way faster than they expected?

My buddy Matt did the same thing and blew out his wrist for a week.

@taylor.hayden Did he not warm up first? That wrist trick is a real gamble.
