Lol, same. The other issue I've had with it is when I do the little forward swing like Daisy in the demo, the radar will occasionally pick up that little swing, so I've had a bunch that read like 25-30.

Haha- one of the things I've learned from using the Super Speed sticks is that my backswing is consistently at 25 mph on the radar unit. I never even thought about backswing speed before.

Same here - speed fluctuations due to a lot of factors. I no longer look at my daily numbers but instead weekly trends. Longer term I'll probably abandon the weekly trends for monthly trends.

Are you seeing a difference in how far you hit your irons?

That's interesting - I haven't had a back swing reading on my PRGR LM. are you setting it up differently?

It's my irons and wood/hybrids that I see the big difference. But then I have more confidence in those clubs then my driver. Even thought I'm pretty accurate with my driver. With my driver, I'm so focused on path that I don't just swing away like with other clubs.

I'm using a Swing Speed Radar.

That's interesting. I think I'm gaining a little off the tee, but I can't be sure. Columbus has been in a dry spell for a while and the ball is running in the fairway. My instructor mentioned he thought my clubhead speed is higher in a lesson when I was hitting a 6 iron. I think my carries haven't changed much. Time to get on the Flightscope I guess.

Awesome work Sir!  That is a HUGE distance gain.

Well written review @MaxEntropy , Thank you for posting it.

You hit on something at the end that I was just thinking about. I used to have a lot of lower back pain and I thought it was exacerbated by practicing. Once I started on Super Speed a month ago, my lower back pain has disappeared, just like you mentioned in your review. Oh and while I'm just in the intro protocol I've gained more than I expected when I do the workout.

I'm glad to hear it!

From seeing Dr's and Chiropractors, I knew my issue was more related to core strength and flexibility, so I'm not surprised this has helped, but nothing else I've done has been as effective.

[Shankster 25,554]

Have to take today off for unforeseen events... I think I’m just going to start from scratch next week.  Too many interruptions trying to show the other interested people how to do the work-outs. (We bought a set for work)... also a SkyTrack.

[MaxEntropy 6,515]

Well that was interesting.....

@SuperSpeed Golf had recommended I do the "Advanced Speed Protocol 3" once per week in place of a normal level 3 protocol. This protocol is all dominant side, standing swings only. They call it a sprint, but you are supposed to rip off 8 consecutive (really hard) swings as quickly as you can. Light, medium, heavy, then repeat light. This protocol is supposed to help with lag. Tonight was the first night of this. I learned my balance is terrible - resetting to do another hard swing quickly wasn't nearly as easy as they make it look in the demo video. I might have to post a video of it for giggles so you can compare them and me.

Question for SuperSpeed: I assume I am still supposed to do the 5 before and after driver swings?

Really enjoyed your write-up and review.  It definitely resonated with me and I was surprised how much so.

I'm originally from Akron, Ohio.  I'm 54 and work out at least twice a week and am in better than average shape for my age, though I fight lower back issues too.

My swing speed hangs around 94-98mph, hitting 100+ every now & then.

I've  been eyeing the SuperSpeed system for a while - based on your review, I'm sold.  I'm hoping to win the one here on Sept 12th, if not - I'm buying it.

Thanks for taking the time and dedication to see it through to fruition.

Be sure to join in the fun here once you have those sticks. It helps to have an “accountability” group while doing the workouts.

Good luck and welcome to the couple from a member of the first tester group.

Had my second session of week 5 yesterday. Had a few normal green stick swings back up at 140mph and blue seems to be back up to the 131mph consistently with the normal swing again.

I’m planning on hitting on GC Quad on the 12th to see what’s what.

Also playing a round today (first round since June 30th with no practice in between). The course has a few holes where I can swing as hard as I want without any trouble, so we will see what I can do.

Glad to hear it! Like @revkev said, please check in periodically to let us know how you're doing.

I haven't been posting my results mainly because I'm still in the intro protocol for another two weeks and because I'm really more interested in what others have to say. I'm only five weeks in and I took a week off when my back was in some pain. I just want to share that I'm a senior in my late 60s and I've lost a lot of speed in the last several years. In July, I checked my clubhead speed with my driver and it was 75-79 mph. I even took out an old Callaway Razr Hawk driver that is my wife's old driver and only swung it at 78-79 mph! I looked at my old data from 2016 and found my 9 iron was 78-79 mph at that time. I got the Super Speed system and a Swing Speed Radar. I had a hard time the first session getting the GREEN club to 80 mph. Now five weeks in, I have the yellow and green club hitting 101-102 and the blue club going 99-100. I checked my Ping G30 and am swinging it around 89-91 mph. That's easily 10 mph +. Like so many have said, I find this system works, even for old guys.

[ChasingScratch 1,507]

Alright, played yesterday and I definitely was hitting the center of the club more consistently and squaring the face up at impact.  Fairways and course in general were soggy from all the rain we had so not much roll out on drives.

Highlights:

Hole 2: 170yd par 3: 8iron hole high

Hole 6: 190yd approach, 7iron long

Hole 7: 487yd par 5: only had 170 in (317yd drive right up the middle)

Hole 9: 391yd par 4:  70yd approach into the green (320yd drive up the middle)

Hole 13: 545yd par 5: 190yds approach into the green (355yd drive up the middle)

Now putting..... that's another issue lol.  Might be time for the Cleveland Frontline Elevado that I reviewed for MGS to make a return to the bag... That or I just need to actually practice some.

Sounds like SS is yielding some great driver results for you.

I had to put new brakes on the wife’s ride yesterday.  Took it to work, where the SuperSpeed system was waiting for me. So I worked on myself before working on the car, only fair right?

Got 130 green.

Today I went to the range, after some trial and error I adjusted my driver up to the 10.5° setting from the 9° setting.... I don’t think I have ever been so consistent and confident with the driver.  It is usually a aim fire and yell fore right for me.  But... today, it was landing on a blanket but maybe two car sized area.  Super impressed with the speed drills, but more so the accuracy that is coming along with it.

The lofting up slightly made them go out far enough that I lost sight of them. Too bad the course was overbooked and overrun, I would have loved to take it out there and see what I could have shot... maybe some afternoon this week.
