Guam135i Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Is there a way to train to increase some club head speed?

cnosil Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yes, the general recommendation is to do over speed training, improve overall fitness that includes some golf specific fitness items. There are reviews and opinions on this site for tools like Suoerspeed and the Stack system for over speed training.

Haro Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 When I found the “rhythm” of my swing I was able to harness my max swing speed. Video of my early swing was too “armsy” and the harder I swing with the arms did not translate into more ball speed Just more hand pain. I focus more on a spot in front of the ball for “swish” to happen and start the swing from the hips rather than from the arms and shoulder.

revkev Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 If you’ve never done any speed training you will almost certainly get faster by picking something and doing it for a while. What might be best for you depends on your physical conditioning ‘- if it’s not good - start there.

MaxEntropy Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I was an official SuperSpeed tester last year and in generally decent shape for my age (53). I found that the protocols by themselves were a decent "workout" for me, although I was going to the gym a couple times a week prior to the pandemic. These types of systems really work. I max'd out at 102 at the start ("cruising" speed on the course likely closer to 95-98) and at the end of the second jump I hit 120. On course and on trackman for fitting are in the 106 range right now, but I haven't been as faithful doing the workouts this summer. Others are trying the Stack system and Rypstick - you can find info on them in the unofficial testing threads. mherrera 1 Quote Driver: Epic Speed 9* (set -1) MMT 70X 3W: Tour B JGR Recoil 760ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-AW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 SW: RTX Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: TAIII Black 58* Putter: Scottsdale TR Senita Bag: BigMax Dri Active Lite Ball: TP5x or AVX (yellow) Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Testing Complete, Final Review Posted: Sub70 TAIII Forged Wedges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guam135i Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Where do i find these golf specific swing speed exercises?

MGS has done a product review of the superspeed sticks the past couple of years and several members have tried some of the other systems. TXG just did a video highlighting several of them Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
