2020 Forum Member Review - SuperSpeed Training System

[Gman24 63]

I have the SuperSpeed set.  It definitely increases swing speed.  I have to take care to make sure I am releasing properly, as my speed training can result in holding the face open if a go too long without playing.

I typically incorporate the swing speed training into my gym time (my location affords me that opportunity.  I also add ball tosses once per week and 30 minutes of assisted and intense stretching at least three times per week. These really help with balance and swing speed.  

I recommend the SuperSpeed training.

So testers, do any of you have a target in mind or a speed you would like to achieve?

Today I was playing around with the radar they sent to try to optimize placement for when we start the program. Using only my normal warmup with the Orange Whip, I averaged 98 mph on 10 swings and reached 100 twice. I would ultimately like to end up in the 110 range - I know that's a bit of a reach from their average increase of 8.5%, but I figure a stretch goal may force me to push myself a little more. I would be happy with the 8.5% though, as that puts me right around 106 mph.

A 180mph ball speed would be epic!

The guys from the first test are brothers forever and now we have a much needed sister!

 

I’m all in on the LPGA given that my club has two members of it as members or former members.

 

Go for it testers - go for it. I hit 116 with my driver today - 116! I mean mine was 88 when I started this 2 years ago - hit a for real one on the course at sea level 261 on Sunday.

 

This is not sorcery, it’s hard work but it teaches a person what his or hers potential truly is.

116 driver speed rev?  I assume you've upgraded to an XStiff shaft? If not, it's time for a new driver fitting if you're only maxing at 261!

[mention]Bucky CC [/mention] any SuperSpeed C updates? I’m thinking about giving it a shot since
I typically feel like my hands and arms are along for the ride in my swing.

[mention]SuperSpeed Golf [/mention] any advice here... I’m almost done with “week 11” workouts and have noticed my max green speeds seem slow compared to my actual driver swings.



If I take a session of dry swings with driver making as good a “real” swing as I can I hit 108-111 with regularity. My top speeds with the green stick tend to be around 120. I feel like I should be swinging the green faster.

Is this within a normal range you guys see?
Is the SuperSpeed C club good to help someone with “dead hands” get a little more action? Or is it more suited to someone who already uses their hands actively?

I like your chart - I'm going to copy it!

feel free!  I used conditional formatting in each column to call out the highest speed.  hopefully those highest numbers stay close to the last week.  Time to focus on my right hand blue and red!

Awesome engagement so far. Really cool to see. Still waiting on shipment but shouldn't be too much longer. Had a delay with the virus. However a few driving ranges just opened up so should be good timing!

Just finished my first ever protocol. What type of sorcery is this... 

 

Joe - when you set up the LM for the protocol do you have it set for the driver?

Again - these are swings at the end of a protocol - those speeds don’t last but I do think I’m approaching 100 on the radar which for me is about 3 mph faster than a trackman type - I could probably go into S flex but this Motore is stronger than the shaft it replaced and I’m getting nice ball flight and distance from it.

 

The numbers I’m reporting here are during protocols

 

And wait a minute,I just reread what I wrote - it was 111 with my driver not 116 - the highest that I’ve hit with my driver is 112.

 

COVID moment - sorry about that.

Just an FYI for anyone considering getting the SuperSpeed system with the PRGR launch monitor. This is a big factor in getting the most accurate readings I’ve found.

 

When I played around with the PRGR the first time in my living room and backyard, I could never get a reading higher than 100mph. This was very confusing because whenever I hit in Foresight GC Quad, my ball speed is upwards of 169mph. Soooooo

 

You need to set the PRGR up with absolutely no grass, carpet, etc interference. Period. Also, it seems as though it needs to be raised to the level it would be if it were a ball on a golf tee. When I did this, I got swing speed numbers like I was expecting.

I was looking for the price of that launch monitor on the Superspeed site and couldn't find it - is this a new product that isn't out in the US yet?

I will second @ChasingScratch on raising the PRGR device to the level of the driver swing. 

 

Got nervous when I was seeing low 80's but once its up it is fine.

 

Going to be using a tripod since it has a screw mount on the back, and when I start swinging the SuperSpeed sticks they suggest 8" above the ground.

I'm going to try that. I played around with it today and my speeds were about 10 mph below what they normally are.

Same for me and a few others.

Found an old tripod this morning in my closet that I used when traveling. Hopefully this takes care of the height/read issue.

I have a small tripod with flexible legs that I took to work a few months ago. I may have to grab it when I get back in the office, which for me, could be next Wednesday.

[ChasingScratch 1,377]

I found an old camera mount from when we had baby monitors I’m going to try. Might screw it to a wood base to make it more stable.

 

Might could even just use tees in the ground to hold it steady.
