Hey a few pages back someone asked how/of SuperSpeed has impacted our scoring.
 
I had a 7.0 index when I started. I’m a 5.1 right now trending 3.6 - last three scores 77,70,77. First sub par 18 in five years. During that time I had lost about 20 yards off the tee.
 
Guess what the difference is....

After completing 3 weeks of level 1 I played my first 18 holes of golf today. Predictably I didn’t do great. I tend to draw the ball but I left 80% of my drives and irons to the right today. All pushes. Just couldn’t square the club face up. Think it’s because by body is swinging faster than my arms? From what I’ve read this seems pretty common? Any fixes?
Anyway definitely happy to take the short term loss of accuracy. Hit a couple of bigger drives than I’m used to but difficult to say if that this was down to the training as they tended to be downwind and fairways quite dry in the UK currently, with a surprising lack of rain!
What I would say is that my poor strikes seem to go quite far and my worst drives seem to be as far as my previous ‘normal’ ones. So definitely encouraging! And only 3 weeks in so not looking for immediate results  
 

Welcome! Good luck and please keep us updated.

@Bucky that’s so interesting. My go to move when I’m struggling is to try and swing over the top. That will generally get me back to a baby draw.

I wanted to check because I’m squarely in maintenance mode. So after doing my weekly workout I checked my driver SS and it was a solid 103. I’m hitting drives that would indicate that’s about right also.

I would have time to pick back up in level 4 after this upcoming week but July is terrible - I’m torn on what to do but will figure it out.

Ping fitting is Tuesday - can’t wait for that. I will try to have some numbers to report from that.

Hi everyone. 
I wanted to introduce myself...I was toying with the idea of getting these sticks for a number of months. I started reading this thread about 2 months ago and seeing the success of many people on here I decided to purchase the sticks and the radar (£300 for both here in the UK). 
I wanted to start posting on here and say thanks to everyone who has posted their stories on here as it inspired me to start the training!
I’m in week 3 of the training now and have been really impressed with the results. I’m 26 and in relatively good shape but have always had a slow swing speed for my age, especially compared to my golfing friends.
So anyway I started out with a max of 91mph on the radar (with ball) 3 weeks ago and now at around 97 with a max of 101 which is really encouraging.
I’ve been keeping track of my max speeds with the sticks each week so will be sure to post them at some point.
In my last session I decided to hit some drives after the drills and was a bit concerned...I was hitting some big fades with the club face often wide open on impact. I tend to tee the ball quite high and noticed I was hitting making contact with the ball really high up on the face of the driver so will try teeing it further down. I’m used to drawing the ball so this was a bit of a shock! I think hitting drives immediately after the drills probably isn’t a great idea as I’m likely to be imitating my superspeed swings.
Anyway I look forward to joining the community on here!
 
 
 

Last fall before I started the SuperSpeed program I had a baby fade off the tee.  20+ weeks of indoor winter training with the SS program that baby fade turned into a massive slice followed by an overcorrecting pull hook.  After 7 mediocre rounds this spring I broke down and took a lesson yesterday.
I had worked with this instructor in the past so he knew a little about my swing already.  After 2-3 drives he noticed I was coming over the top and was very quick with my tempo.  He said it's not the first time a SuperSpeed student had a swing like that.  Coming over the top brings your shoulders into it more to try to gain those extra few mph.  May be something for those of us who live in cold weather climates to watch out for.  Training indoors and not being able to play live rounds for a few months can make things a bit messy.
We also made some other minor changes with my ball position and shoulders not be quite square to the target.  They were all small tweaks that immediately felt natural and had me hitting some booming drives.
Playing 18 later today so we'll see if the lesson fixed my miss or if it was just a range relevation that doesn't carry over to the course.
