Would love to hear more about what my fellow testers are seeing on the course. 

Hoping to get out again this week to see. After the first session the only thing I noticed was I wasn't drawing the ball as much and it was either straight or a cut which I don't mind seeing at all. Just means I need to adjust my setup on the tee block. I will say I did notice some soreness, but that was to be expected. Ball striking was on point and I felt good overall. Again only one session in, but still was able to take note of a few things. I am looking forward to getting back to Nova Scotia and getting out of my backup set (minus driver has been the same) and see how those clubs react.

Completely agree! I just wanted to ask to see if there is a flaw or technique issue that commonly leads to this pain when trying to go fast. 

I only notice it on dominant swings (I’m right handed), and typically use overlap with a glove only on my left hand. 

@zrumble go ahead and add a glove on your right hand as well as use a ten finger grip. See if either of those help and we go from there

I've mentioned this before and it happened again this weekend. My most consistent club, the driver, has  became my most inconsistent club. Can't figure out what's going on so headed to the range tomorrow. On the other hand my irons are longer. My wife, on the other hand is seeing longer distances with all of the clubs.

I was able to get out today and check my progress this second go round with SuperSpeed. Before I get in to the results I want to let y'all know that I'm doing the training similar to @revkev and doing mainly two sessions a week. I've also thrown in several weeks of maintenance, doing one round of level 1 a week. Between weather, going back to work, and having my wife have to self quarantine for two weeks, I just haven't done full training some weeks. 

Today was the first day since Easter that my I've been able to go to the range as the nets were damaged due to storms. I started out today with wedge work, moved on to irons, then hit driver. I started out hitting a set of speeds that were no better than my starting speed of 88.2. To say I was about to make this post about my frustration with the first protocol both times I've done this would be an understatement. I decided to cool off a bit and analyze what I was doing, and just consider those warm-up. See, one of the great things about SuperSpeed is learning where you're leaking speed and adjust. I took out the heavy stick and took some swings to refocus. I realized I needed to relax, my swing has always been tight and I just needed to remove tension from my arms. 

Second set of six swings went 95, 93, 91, 90, 90, and 89. That's an average of 91.5, and an overall increase of 3.7% from my initial speed. Not too shabby for a twice a week and having the maintenance weeks thrown in. That's twice the increase from the initial test where I gained 1.6%. If that's any indicator, by the end of the second protocol I'm hoping to be back to where I was last year at my peak. 

Well done analyzing. I have not done this superspeed training but stepping back and just stopping to think does a lot for every aspect of golf.

Good stuff man! I got right back to up towards my maxes after getting back into it for 2 or 3 sessions. Sound like that where you are headed too. Time to get fast.

I’m hoping SuperSpeed might answer a question from a first group tester.

I’m a bit more than half way through level two on my second protocol. My green and blue stick swings both righty and lefty are above where they were at this point the first go round for regular and kneeling swings both green and blue. But they are a bit behind instep changes and with the red stick.

Could it be that the yellow would benefit me more? I’ve switched drivers from a G400 LST to a G410 plus with a slightly lighter but stiffer profile shaft.

My driver swing speed right now for real is mid 90’s.

Thoughts?

Week 4 Session 3 swing protocols and wrap up on my Youtube channel right now 

Great end to the week for my,  hitting mid 90's on the yellow stick more frequently and topped out at 106MPH on the last set of 3 swings after the step through.

I am seeing more distance for sure on the golf course but do also feel a bit of tentativeness to "step into one" .  230-240 was my personal best and the last couple rounds I have been over 250 yards 4 times. So i am excited about the prospects.

I'm actually right there will you and[mention=16651]revkev[/mention] I am sticking to the twice a week because that's what my body is allowing as well as my time. The progress has definitely been slower at first but its starting to click back again.

@revkev sure thing! Ask away anytime. Can you confirm the gram weight of your Alta distanza shaft?

Also, how fast are you swinging the red club during the regular standing swings on your dominant side?

@zrumble go ahead and add a glove on your right hand as well as use a ten finger grip. See if either of those help and we go from there

Right handed glove is on order. I switched to a 10 finger grip, bit of resistance feeling when I swing. Changed to an interlock grip, right hand a bit stronger, hands closer. This made my elbows feel further apart, but no pressure in my wrist! Thanks for the feedback @SuperSpeed Golf!!! I’ll check in after a few more sessions to let you know the progress.

As far as speed training goes for the Spies out there, I still feel a bit of clubface control issues at times. But today in nasty 30mph winds I was able to use some low punch type shots to great effect. Really feel like I can get some serious speed going downwards into the ball resulting in 185 yard 4-iron punch shots. Very effective!

I there with you on that, I have a very hard time letting loose on the course, especially with the irons. I think having a ball in front of me messes with my head.

I'm pleasantly surprised with how well the two times a week is working. The speeds are definitely coming around at a better clip this time.

Side note, I was just outside hitting foam balls with my Wilson 7 iron and my wife commented on how my swing sounds compares to how it did 6-7 years ago the first time she ever went to the golf course with me. This led into a discussion on topics like where speed is supposed to happen in the swing and how it was brought up earlier in the thread about the heel stomp. I go inside grab my radar, and take some swings to see what happens. My fastest dry swing with the 7 iron normally hits 87 mph with speeds of 83 and 81. I did the heel stomp and swung it 93 88 and 87. Now if I could take it to the course....

I'm the same mate, I can make beautiful swings when I practice but get me on the course and I tense up and hack my way round 🤣. I think it's all about relaxing so you can take the gains @SuperSpeed Golf have given you and let fly!!

That’s so true. Those free and loose swings are the best. Tee it high and let it fly. I had exactly one good drive the last time I played and it was a high tight draw that ended up 284 up hill. I’ve never been close to that spot before. IMG_9981.GIF

The Distanza is 44 grams but I’ve switched to a Fujikura Motore that is 56 grams 106 on the red, 113 blue, 117-122 green.

Why am I struggling with the step through? Best I can do green is 114? First time around that was my fastest drill.

Thanks

You guys that are only doing it twice a week...3 times just proving to be too much on the abs/obliques?

I have to admit I consider myself to be in well above average shape, and I'm feeling these. Only 3 weeks in on Level 1 but I can certainly feel it after a training session.

Ok, been reading lots of posts about how much of a workout and “discomfort” people are feeling the next day. Did the protocols for a while, quit, and have started again. I feel like I could swing them everyday. Work up a little sweat and feel like I am going all out, am I doing something wrong?

No, I'd say that sums up my experience too.  When I say in the previous post that I'm feeling the workouts, I'm talking more of feeling the working muscles during and immediately after, not next day soreness or anything like that.

I could definitely "feel" the protocol in my abs/obliques the next day for the first couple sessions, but I assume that's because I hadn't done much of any workouts during the lockdown. Now I work up a sweat and feel some tiredness, but am usually recovered and feel pretty good in a few hours.

It can be somewhat exhausting, but I've never had any major discomfort the next day. I have experienced soreness akin to a good workout, but nothing more than that.

Okay, but then why two sessions a week versus three? 

I'm just trying to make sure there aren't overuse/fatigue issues associated with this program.  I'm excited to do it (10 minutes from going to do a session), but I don't want to get injured and miss actual rounds because of it.

Okay, but then why two sessions a week versus three? 

I'm just trying to make sure there aren't overuse/fatigue issues associated with this program.  I'm excited to do it (10 minutes from going to do a session), but I don't want to get injured and miss actual rounds because of it.

It's been more of a time constraint issue than anything else. I bought a place last year to move the mother-in-law in to and now have two yards to manage instead of one. Plus, when I started back I was planning on a lot of overtime this year. 

The main thing that's important is making sure you're comfortable with the amount of training you do and not hurting yourself. I've personally seen better gains this time around going at it twice a week with some maintenance weeks thrown in.

You guys that are only doing it twice a week...3 times just proving to be too much on the abs/obliques?
I have to admit I consider myself to be in well above average shape, and I'm feeling these. Only 3 weeks in on Level 1 but I can certainly feel it after a training session.
I "joined" as an unofficial tester in the 18 group and was able to do 3 times a week but when summer came around I flat stopped. So for me I am doing 2 times now just to keep it consistent to make sure i stick with it through the summer. Physically it also feels better for me because i remember doing lots of protocols during my first go round and being completely gassed.

Ok, been reading lots of posts about how much of a workout and “discomfort” people are feeling the next day. Did the protocols for a while, quit, and have started again. I feel like I could swing them everyday. Work up a little sweat and feel like I am going all out, am I doing something wrong?
My biggest problem is my breathing sucks during swings and I eventually am huffing and puffing because I hold my breathe as I rotate. I'm thinking of taking up some light sprinting that someone suggested earlier to help with my recovery. I think my wait time is also too short but at same time I dont want to spend a long period of time doing the protocol now that I am up to 4 swings.

A question for the @SuperSpeed Golf and  '18 SS testers: i just started week five and seem to have plateaued. Is this typical? Granted I made gains from week 1, but the numbers from the end of week 3 along with week 4 and yesterday's week 5/day1 are incremental at best. I'm following the protocols on warm-up and swinging as hard as I can but can't seem to move the needle very much. On the other hand the numbers from week 1 are definitely breakthrough, and on the course.as well. In fact yesterday I hit my 22* hybrid 178 yds. That's 20 yds longer than I have on my distance charts to I'm pretty pleased with overall progress. 

Perhaps my expectations are too high or I'm too impatient? @SuperSpeed Golf and '18 testers, your thoughts.

I think there's a chart out there somewhere that gives an idea of when gains and plateaus happen, but I don't have the information with me. You will go through periods where you won't see gains and might even have sessions where you're actually slower. From the sounds of it you're starting to see it where it matters, on the course.

I'm seeing the same thing, sort of. My dominant swings have been stagnant since week 2 or 3, but my non-dominant swings have been slowly creeping up. Last night my max RH were 120 (green), 111 (blue), and 110 (red). LH they were 107, 110, and 102. I started out with ~20 mph difference between RH and LH for all sticks. Are your RH swings continuing to climb?

I think we are both being impatient. As I understand it, a plateau is expected prior to the second jump.

I also tried something different last night. By the end of last week my wrists and hands were pretty sore (I'm developing some arthritis, especially in my left hand). After reading some of the responses to @cnosil and others about wearing two gloves and trying different grips to reduce discomfort, I took an old glove and turned it inside out so I could get it on my right hand and also tried a ten finger grip instead of overlap. My hands feel better this morning, even though I didn't see a big change in speeds, so I'll need to either pick up some rain gloves or get a glove for my right hand.
