After I’m done with Level 2, I think I’m going to stop recording swing speed. PRGR read my driver speed at 100mph yesterday..... yeah.... 100mph lol.

I need you to help me with my PRGR setup.  I had a range of 11mph in my green normal swings today (from 119mph to 130mph).  I also had red normal swings that topped at 113mph and one was only 111mph.  For green heel stomp swings, I had one read 117mph and one read 131mph.  When I did my last set of green normal swings at the end, one was 113mph and one was 130mph.  It just boggles my mind sometimes. 

When I finished my Level 1, I was swinging the green sticks at 141mph.  I find it hard to believe that I've lost speed.  I can't ever seem to get driver to read consistently either.  on GC Quad, it reads 122-124mph.  with PRGR, I haven't been over 120mph since Level 2 week 5...

So any tips on setup would be much appreciated and implemented. I'm thinking of using alignment sticks to play around with it.  I also do it out in a field, so maybe the grass interferes?  But I have it setup on the little stand I've always used.

I have been through level 1 myself with the PRGR monitor, and I have found flat ground that is clear works best. I have used my drive way (dirt) or a mossy section of my lawn to get the most consistent readings. I also have used and alignment stick to make sure that I am on the correct line and that I am not too far away from it, because I have noticed that car really affect the readings. I also agree that I want to try it on the course to see what is going on as I seem to hit no where near as far as I should given the speeds I am seeing, though I am likely slowing way back down to keep the ball in play. Good thing the season is almost over so I can stop worrying about that for a while.

When I was testing the first time around our SuperSpeed advisor challenged me to go play a round where I swung as fast as I could with driver no matter what.

I played 9 by myself at my club on a quiet day and used my personal LM on every drive - voice caddy at that time - quick set up.

I remember the last drive that I hit carrying 241 down the middle - I brought the device in to show the assistant pro whom I was often with on the range. His eyes bugged out,he grabbed my red stick out of my bag and wrote the contact info down to order.

Try doing that yourself - it’s the end of your season anyway - try a round that doesn’t mater where you go full Bryson on every driver swing - you may be stunned.

I intend to do this in all rounds played this winter so that it’s ingrained for when my league resumes - hopefully - next Spring.

Good luck

Yeah hoping to do just that for sure grab some balls and let loose to try to start to get the feeling of playing with the swing

I just smashed my radar yesterday on a lefty swing lol.  But I think it's a good thing for me too! I'm just going to keep doing the protocol's and make sure my mechanics are good, rather than chase the big number!

You may wish to reach out to SuperSpeed about that strategy - I suspect they would recommend you get a new device. The idea is to keep pushing yourself into figuring out ways to swing faster.

If you get to level 3 there are a series of mid week drills to help with swing flaws

Good luck

I went with SuperSpeed program from November until March 2 years ago. Had the radar and the whole program going. Did the program in my garage with all types of nasty cold weather outside.

Went to play late winter golf and that swing it as hard as you can mode did not work at all as I was all over the place., almost whiffed a few!  Took me about a month to get back to the fairway on a consistent basis. 

Plus everyone especially beware of a back injury from over-training in following their set protocols.  I had a deep low back/pain radiating into my piriformis muscle (truly a pain in the ass) injury that required rx/physical therapy for a month to get relief from shooting pain and plus be able to get back to swing the club. Before everyone replies "moderation" that is not  what they are advising in the protocols.

So I suggest be careful,...sold my SuperSpeed sticks on eBay and will never go that SuperSpeed route ever again looking for more distance. There are way more swing enhancements/static set-up stance changes you can do ie the very proven hitting with an upward angle of attack to get that 20 yards or more on your drives.

Sorry to hear that you had those issues. Just had a few questions with follow up as having gone through the protocols as a tester and someone who has had back issues before (mainly from work) did not find that to be the case.

Did you do the recommended stretches and warm up before each session? Also were you doing more then 3 times a week?

Obviously a single product may not be for everyone, but as this has been highly popular and proven to show man benefits for lots it would be good to learn more of your experience to pass along to others. I am also sure superspeed would be interested in knowing more specifics as they are extremely helpful on the forum and with other cs.

Again thanks for sharing and hope to hear more!

[RITZ]

I did my own stretching routine prior to doing this 3x a week.  Basic type flexibility stretches for legs/arms/shoulders/back.

A long stretching program prior to exercise is another topic that is debated in the work-out circles as not being of value as much as it is assumed as the control groups without stretching and those that did stretching did not show any higher significant value or results but that is another topic.  

In my view the repetitive stress on muscles swinging at the max swing speed over a period of time leads to break down.

Again individual results will vary.  Thanks for your note.

@Ritz, certainly everyone is different. Given the results the SuperSpeed is getting on tour along with the results from two different test groups here its pretty clear that overspeed training benefits a fairly large group of people.

We did have a fairly large variation within our test groups.

Good luck on your attempts at gaining some yards and I hope your back has healed.



In the meantime we’re hunkered down as Eta hits - as you can see I’ve made sure the valuable stuff is off the back porch and safely stowed away. We are in for a bumpy 8 hours.

We did, thankfully - sadly there is a ton of flooding in our county.  One of our church/school families lost just about everything - they had to evacuate their house at 2 AM through chest high water with two young children on their shoulders.  Very scary

That's sad. We had a ton of rain here at Kings Point but doesn't appear to have caused much damage.

Finally...... done....

I'll be reaching out to @SuperSpeed Golf to see about Level 3 and what I should do.

I'll be posting my final Level 2 Week 8 video today.

The PRGR says I'm slower, I just don't feel it.  I don't know when I'll be able to get on a GC Quad again, but hopefully I can see what's what.

Happy Masters Tournament to everyone!

Anyone else not really seen the translation to course after doing all these protocols? Maybe it’s just my mechanics but I’ve been hitting the ball pretty straight, if anything I’ve lost distance this year. Curious if anyone else has experienced this

From my experiences I had a speed jump early on - after 6-8 weeks of about 5 mph s and then it stayed flat on the course for a very long time up until the last week before our review - week 26 or so - I then had a big speed jump in the protocols and a few weeks later on course followed after Daisy from SuperSpeed challenged me to play a round swinging as fast as I could I picked up an additional 4 mph on course - I was regularly carrying driver over 220 when I was rarely able to carry it over 205 at the start.

Unfortunately summer hit, the weather got brutally hot and I stopped protocols - I didn’t loose everything but lost a good deal of what I gained.

Ive gotten all of it back by starting up again after the new year. I only did weekly maintenance over the summer but I never missed a week.

I also swing as fast as I can with driver still - SuperSpeed teaches you to swing faster but you do need to apply what your body learns in your sessions to on the course.

Good luck - I hope that rambling helps you carry some more speed to the course.

The biggest deal was my handicap dropping from around 9 to 4.6 today if that’s an encouragement -

My biggest thing is I can’t find the face when I swing as hard as I can LOL

I didn't lose distance, but during Protocol 1, it messed with my swing - specifically driver. I did eventually work it out. Overall I was pretty pleased with the progress and did add several mph to my drives.
