  1. SuperSpeed Official Member Review Stage 1 I would like to thank My Golf Spy and SuperSpeed Golf for choosing me to do this review. I would also like to thank my wife for being so understanding of my crazy addiction to this wonderful game. It is an honor and a privilege to be a member of this community and to do an Official Member Review. My name is Jason Bentley and I'm from Cleveland, TN. I'm a husband, a puppy parent and addicted to golf. I've had a pretty casual fling with golf for about 23 years. I didn't start playing until after high school and my brother was the person who introduced me to the game. He even bought me my first set of clubs, they were a yard sale find. The woods were wood and the irons were more of a player's set that just consisted of the odd numbers. I eventually upgraded the woods with some Northwest woods from Kmart and a set of Nomad irons that I bought from a guy at work. I quit playing around 2003, I found other hobbies that took all my time: hunting and fishing. About five years ago, I decided to give it another go and picked up another set from both a resale shop and Global Golf. My current set: TaylorMade Superfast 2.0 driver and 3 wood Ozik with a Matrix Ozik Xcon 4.8 R flex shaft Nickent Hybrids: 3 with a Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana R flex 4&5 with SR2 shafts by UST S and R flex respectively TaylorMade LCG irons with bubble shaft 2 R80 Ray Cook lob wedge Odyssey Sabertooth White Hot putter I don't keep a handicap, but my scores usually are in the 100-110 range. I usually hit my driver between 210 and 230 yards, my 6 iron is good for about 145, and I hit my PW for 100 yard shots. My typical misses are a slice with the driver and I tend to push my irons. I can, with conviction, tell my wife I'm always right. Hey, the data backs it up. I've played and practiced more this past year and see improvements in my game, I'm working hard to be more consistent. My weaknesses are distance and accuracy. I'm hoping this training will help me to be able to use driver a little less and have shorter approach shots. I use driver on every possible hole and hit about 4-6 fairways. My greens in regulation are the same, having longer clubs in hand drastically reduces my accuracy. I'm currently not in any type of fitness program due to the hours of my current job. Working in the auto industry, we do stretch before shift and I will stretch as I'm working to stay loose. I leave the house at 4 a.m. and arrive back home at 5:45 to 6:30. I'm hoping to quantify this system to someone with a limited amount of time to train. When I received the notification that I was going to participate in this testing, I can't describe the excitement I felt. Then the waiting began. I'm not going to say that I was staring out the window to wait for the UPS truck to show up, but I was. When my package arrived, I was relieved that they were in great shape. My sticks came first, then a couple of days later I got the radar. They were packaged well and I was dying to give them a go. I took the radar to the range to get a starting speed and found out my driver swing averages 89 mph. My high was 94. I like the graphics on the speed sticks, it makes it easy to know which one to swing. I did end up getting the senior set, which momentarily hurt the ole man pride. I gotta give it to SuperSpeed, they got it right. My driver weighs 279 grams and my heaviest trainer weighs 295. What is overspeed training? It's performing a known motion faster with a progression of lighter to heavier Speed Sticks. This method is supposed to train your body to overcome the limits that your mind places on you. We will be swinging with both our dominant and non-dominant sides. The first six weeks we will be taking a normal swing with all three clubs, a step swing, then finish off with three really aggressive swings just on our dominant side. The folks at SuperSpeed have been great, both Kyle and Daisy have sent us information and been there to answer any questions. They have been tweaking the program and have very informative on what the new protocols are. Later in the program we are going to have to perform the "Happy Gilmore", and that's kind of scary. This drill left handed might lead to something funny or tragic. Spies, this program is going to be a long one. The protocols last for over a year. Will it be worth the time and effort? I think so. Who doesn't want to hit it farther? I'm hoping to see good increases in my drives. What is it going to take to convince me that this is the real deal? If SuperSpeed delivers on the claims of a five percent permanent increase in speed after six weeks. I'm also hoping this doesn't negatively affect my swing. I really don't need that. I also want to see if this program is good for someone who doesn't have a lot of time to train. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UjkuJPvMrI8 Is this the right program for you? I'm here to find out.
  2. Any ideas what retailers will be carrying these? These are getting such good reviews that I feel like I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't put them on my list to try out. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  3. First of all, congratulations to each of you for getting to test these irons. You guys have put out great reviews. I'm looking forward to seeing a review on the HF1 irons, after seeing this review I looked up the specs and the 1's are super aggressive. I believe the 7 was at 26 degrees. This site is such a bad influence. Too many pretty things I want. Keep up the good work guys! Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  4. I figured he might get a good laugh watching us try to do a Happy Gilmore from our non dominant side. Might make a good epic fails series. You ain't kidding, dude can knock the cover off the ball. Congrats again GeekingGolf, you're going to have so much fun with that. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  5. I agree with Rick, everything is a wonderful option. We should be starting the SuperSpeed testing before too long, be sure to check it out. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  6. I'm jealous of you right now. This time of year here in Tennessee it still reaches 90+ degrees, which is rough to play in. I love playing once the weather cools and often will until the temps get below 40. I love the fact that the courses become less crowded and I'm not sweating profusely.

  7. Cobra wasn't on my radar until I got into reading about this challenge. Most people probably pass them by and go for the more popular buy and that's a shame. Results don't lie. I'm planning on testing both these and Cleveland when I purchase new irons. Glad to hear about your improvement, sounds absolutely amazing! Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  8. That's awesome! It'll be well worth the drive. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  9. Sounds like Cobra customer service was all over it, I'm glad they took care of you. It's also nice to hear that fixing the broken sensor on your end wasn't that bad. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  10. Congrats to all the winners! Geeking Golf, that's awesome! Can't wait to see what the Cobras can do for you. Y'all have worked hard and I can't think of a group of testers that coulda nailed it like you did. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  11. Love the tagline! Honestly, numbers don't lie and I believe Cobra should use this. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  12. Here's how I see it: In conjunction with My Golf Spy... A group of golfers Rickie Fowler and Bryson DeChambeau appear as genies We see Foz start throwing days with his wedges Joyzee bombing drives MD receiving a protractor from DeChambeau Loopers daughter taking his driver "Let me show you how it's done" And Reese lifting his club championship trophy Then the question: What can Cobra do for your game?
  13. Cobra definitely has a great opportunity here with this review. These guys have gone above and beyond on their testing and their analytics. I can't imagine what it's taken to do everything that you have. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  14. Moderators, you can close this thread or delete it. Shankster showed me how to do it. Thanks Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  15. I've seen this done on many of the forums, but can't do it myself. How do you put pictures between paragraphs? Example: Paragraph Photo Paragraph Photo Paragraph I don't know if it's just because I use my phone for most of it, or just lack of knowledge. I've used the full site on my phone, but all my pics show up at the bottom. I appreciate the help. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  16. As a Tennessee fan, I feel your pain. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  17. After reading both this challenge and the one for the Cobra Connect, I'm hoping to give them both a test run. Looking at buying new irons by the end of October and I wouldn't have thought about either set before reading the reviews. The HB's still make me twitch a bit because they're so big, but watching you hit them, they just seem to want to go straight. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  18. Excellent stage one guys, looks like each of you is ready to put the Bridgestone wedges through their paces. Azstu, you're a mortgage underwriter? Man from the grilling forum, I think you might have been a chef. Have fun guys! I'm looking forward to seeing your reviews. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  19. Shorts, no shoes, no problem. You get my vote. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  20. Good luck out there today Foz, hope you and your family have safe and fun camping trip. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  21. Excellent stage two Heath! Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  22. I'm thinking mine is going to be way off....guess that's why you never make decisions at 3:30 in the morning. Congrats on your best round! Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  23. I went and played today at Waterville Golf Course here in Cleveland and I actually have not one, but two shots of the day. The first was an 85 yard sand wedge that I got from a downhill lie to two feet to save par. I've been reading the Cobra Connect challenge and think I channeled some Fozcycle and his wedge game. The second shot of the day came on the 18th. I hit a 255 yard drive that almost landed on the green. Almost. I tried to do my best Joyzee impression and for a guy that has been a short hitter for the last couple of years, I'm pretty happy. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  24. Awesome set up MDH, looking forward to hearing the rest of the story. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
