The title seems to be asking what is the max speed a human hand could ever hope to move, while the body seems interested in how fast your specific hand movement was, which as Craig mentioned you can actually calculate with video footage.

After that find out the radius of your arm to your axis of rotation (middle of your body) and you can use some circular motion formulas to get a rough idea of your hands speed.
