I disagree, Ben did his talking through the Radio and then lately the GM. I bet he just ignored AB. Tomlin's lack of calling out brown and the GM who gave e raises every year the past three years also added fire to the AB ego train. Read Peter King's FMIA on profootball talk for a better perspective.

Antonio Brown possibly traded to the Raiders just made this year a lot more interesting for me. I'd like to think this is a good move because they didn't give up much for him but he could cause more drama. If Carr keeps his job, I believe he is a better leader and person then Roethlisberger so hopefully there's no issues between them.

We should compare my Dallas Golf Range finder to your NX7 when we play. I got their house ranger finder as an open box purchase for $115. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Hi all! I have never formally post in this intro threads so here it goes: How long have you been playing golf? My dad is a big influence on my life for better or worse. He took me out maybe around ages 10-12 a hand full of times. I have natural talent and coordination for sports and it showed with golf. He wanted me to play in high school but I chose otherwise. My other sport of choice was basketball and when my ACL and meniscus gave out for good in the spring of 2016 I started playing golf every weekend starting around the first weekend in July 2017. Haven't stopped since. What’s your handicap or normal score? 24 is my index and I shoot between 90-100 nowadays. What do you love about golf? The challenge. I think I can become a scratch player but who doesn't. Its been 20 months since I started and its just now that I think I'm starting to understand how to play the game. I'm breaking 90 this summer. I also like being outside and walking for a few hours. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like you are in a city while playing. I love the new viewing perspectives golf courses give you of a place I've lived in for awhile now. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? I googled "best driver" and the rest is history. Being a chemical data analyst, I appreciate real data. The quest for knowing the truth about golf clubs was why I googled what I did. I had no idea what MGS was all about. Then after reading the Most wanted Hybrid testing of 2017, I bought the Cobra F7 3-4. And guess what? I bought off the rack, and its my favorite club and the best one i hit. SOLD! Reading Tony and listening to Adam is what keeps me coming back. Do you already know any other Spies? No but that should change. DM me and lets play! Instagram is @silverhillbean Hit me up. Where are you from? I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico What is your home course? I have a city PM pass so any muni here really, but I play the one closest to my place which is Los Altos. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? I'm too new at it to say but the Sunday starter at Arroyo del Oso pisses me off. He jams the box and rounds can be over five hours on Sundays. This is the toughest and best city course but when this joker loads the tee box at noon I hate the place. The best has to be the weather, mostly sunny year round. Maybe like 4 weekends a year are unplayable. Oh and the rates are cheap here. With a PM pass which is $325 annually, weekend walking is $12.50 and weekday walking is $10 after 12PM. The best courses here are only $100 a round. The UNM south course is the best I think and they always have off season and in season deals. Even if you don't mind the full rate its only like $50 to play a real course. The Nike tour stopped here a few times in the 90's. Regional US open qualifying is at UNM south as well. What do you do for a living? I'm a technical director at a environmental analysis lab. How’d you pick your user name? My dad gave me many nicknames growing up, some I can't say in public. He called me Slap alot around the age he took me golfing. I think I reminded him of Slap Maxwell. I just goolged him for the first time just now. I should watch more and see what he's talking about.

I got the Puma Grip Fusions when they went on sale. Because the Ping bags were all top bags I bought the DLX. And same with the drivers. I asked to only get fit for Ping drivers and the LST was the best. All good choices. Last year it was the F7 hybrid and Ping Gs. I went to see if I could upgrade on the irons the other day and the fitter and I agreed what I had was good enough. I slowly bought 5-U last winter and they are working out great. Thanks for the good work MGS. I tired the true fit by the way and I hit the LST better then the recommended SFT from true fit. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

This just seems like smart business. It cuts down on parts and as a buyer I get my putter now if I fit into a black dot. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Hey Guys! I want to give an update to my journey in this project. I stopped doing the workouts around Thanksgiving because I developed a huge slice from doing these protocols. I don’t think it’s the DIY sticks them self, more that being such a new golfer I can’t control the face very well. On top of that my swing speed went down about 7mph. I just don’t think I put enough concentration into making actual golf swings while working out. Particularly I think my transition is too fast and rushed compared to how I was swing before. I saw that the speedsuper guy posting in the official review mentioned that people who experienced what I’m experiencing need to do some drills to help to control the face a bit better. Anyone know of good drills for this? So I think my sequencing is just off and I need to work at it some more. Any advice will help.

Good call on buying a radar. There’s a swing speed radar for $43 on eBay right now. Coming from China though so there’s a long wait time and maybe a risk but I just got one. Hopefully I’m only waiting a month Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

I just started week 3 yesterday. I’m putting in the work every other day including weekends. About a month ago I checked my baseline swing speed and it averaged 99 out of four good swings. Today the kind folks at Golf Mart let me hit some balls and my average out of the five fastest swings was still 99. Out of those five my biggest miss was -60. My best offline number came from my fastest swing at -6. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Thanks for the PDF! I printed them out but I’ll be sure to save this. I started training this Monday and I plan on doing this every other day and not skip the weekend. So I’ll get more training in that way. I’m gonna go ahead and update my results here unless anyone thinks I should start a new thread. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

I think in terms of swinging one driver clubhead faster which should be your gamer. So having three of the same driver shafts with the same tips and grips is a good place to start. Naturally after that the only way to add weight should be at the tip end. So yes and even in the SS trainers the only variable is the weight at the end of the trainer. So there is a natural progression of weight at the tip. I weighed my overall trainers but I knew the shafts were very similar to the weight of my drivers' shaft. Again its clubhead speed that we are looking to increase.

Thanks to Stud and Mr. Riley for letting me jump on this thread. I just finished building this project out for $86.56. I also want to thank Golf Mart for trading my shafts from RBG for ones that fit the latest Ping driver adapters. They are also letting me pop in every other week to track my progress. Additional costs not listed before were: $11.76 for washers and three plastic grommets from Ace Hardware. $32.36 for gluing labor from Golf Mart. And 0.99 for ten pieces of lead tape. I just used 5 of them. If you can glue grips and adapters yourself, this project would only run you about a quarter of the name brand cost. The weights of the shafts, with grips and adaptors, ended up being really close to my drivers' shaft weight. The Atmos was the lightest at 114g and I used that one as the lightest trainer. The others including my driver was 121g. I recommend using driver adapters. With the screw and the grommet I found at Aces, I don't think the weights are flying off. I duct taped the finished product for stability, and after swinging the trainers they seem fine. Just see all the pictures below. I used two different washers with different hole diameters, all weighed about 12g. Six of the smaller hole opening washers were used on all three trainers. These fit flush with the opening for the screw on the beveled part at the top of the adapter. The changing variable was the larger holed washers. Final weight dictated the amount used for these. Since these had a larger hole opening, I used two pieces of the lead tape to wedge the washers snugly up against the top six washers. Before taping these, I placed the grommet between the top washer and screw hole and tightened the screw in until the grommet compressed almost all the way. The heavier trainer only needed one piece of wedged lead tape because the stack reached the larger diameter of the driver adapter. Whats shown is just the heavy one. The Final numbers are 262, 296 and 349 grams for each trainer. Not prefect from my 322g driver but almost matching a 330g driver. When you swing these trainers its obvious that there is a weight progression. Well I think that's about it, and this was super easy. Try it yourself! What's shown below is the heaviest trainer.

Thanks for the help. Yes I think removing the screw is a must if I want to use these with heads.

I also look forward to see what you cook up too. We have the same idea about price and weighting too. I'll probably going to use washers as well and maybe tape them to together with lead tape that I have. I'm also thinking about red loctite threadlocking glue on the tip screws.

Hey Pat I'm attempting the same thing! I'm not using the SuperSpeed specs though, and I have a really accurate scale. I'm basing my build on my total Ping G driver weight. I'm also using real driver head adapters so that I can actually use or sell these. Here's my post if you want to take a look and comment. https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/25721-diy-super-speed-training-system/

Nice! I tired to search for a topic on this but this one didn't show up.

I'd like everyone's feedback and ideas about how to complete this project. I ordered three driver shafts, three grips, and three adapter tips. The shafts were very cheap but good quality. They are Mitsubishi Rayon Bassara 45 x 5ct. Ladies flex. I think having the lightest shaft made the most sense and that adding weight is the easy part. The grips were cheap chamois brand. These came from rock bottom golf for $28.37. The ping adapter tips are on their way from China at $13.08. Grand total of $41.45 so far. The concept of super speed training is that you exercise your driver swing motion with headless driver clubs that are 20% and 10% lighter then a standard driver and 5% heavier then a standard driver. I'm not concerned about the developers idea of absolute weight. I was only concerned about my drivers weight, tipping the scales at 322g. I have a good scale that's made for portability and is lab grade. Consider this weight of my standard Ping G to a Wilson D300 which is 271g. This difference is huge. So for the standard weight SuperSpeed gives us my question immediately was ‘Compared to what?'. Total driver weight or driver head weight? I think I'm truly going to max out my personal driver swing speed with this customizable training system given any driver I chose to game. My plan is to use as many washers needed with the screw that inserts into the driver tip. The first washer opening needs to be small and the rest just need to fit around the tip. Anyone have any ideas about the best way to add the needed weight? My initial thoughts are to target total weight and not isolate head weight. I'll give more details about my trainer weights when they are all glued together. Right now based on raw data I need at least 193g for the lightest one and 241g on the heavier one. Keep in mind this does not include glue, tip and screw. The shaft weights were very consistent at 47g. One weighed 46g. Grips were 51g but the ends need to be cut off in order to fit the shaft. Any feedback would be great. Good bad or ugly.

Haha! I don't think wine helps, but according to ole gray it could go either way. And please let us know how it works Gray, just give it at least two weeks I'd say. If you get a mild upset stomach just lower your dosage. It's supposed to improve your health over all due to how it can clean up your blood.

I have a mild case due to playing and practicing live music for over a decade now. But I only notice it at night or when its quiet. Have you tried ingesting dandelion root? It helped a bit for me but again mines not too bad. You can drink it as a tea, dry the root yourself and eat it or get the extract of it at a grocery store. I hope this helps.

Yes! Or you can just weaken your grip.

It's all good, and I'm not picking a fight over it either. Naturally as club length gets shorter Lies increase as well. I still don't think a lie angle dictates how good you are.

That there is a correlation between positive lie angles and high handicap players. Or the inverse, that there is a correlation between a low handicap game and negative lie angles in a player.
