Max Swing Speed Trainer Review and Progress

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW 4,463]

Going to try to up my game by getting into some overspeed training to go along with Fit For Golf. The unit I am going to use is the MaxSwingSpeed trainer. It runs $99 MSRP and the creator is always running at least a 10% deal. It is a 5 weight system (Each weight is 50g) and the length varies from 41" to 43". Looking for some gains here and to present another option from Super Speed and Rypstick for others. Mine is arriving this weekend and my radar soon after. Then the fun will begin.

I won mine in one of his draws. I can attest I have seen increases in swing speed over the season. I am not gonna claim I gained 10 mph but beginning this season I was about 112 mph, now up closer to 116 mph

Interesting workout regimen .. hope it pays off for you!

That looks like a more affordable option than the Superspeed system.  Good luck.  I’d be interested in hearing about your progress and what you think of the product.

Day one. 34 degrees out and flu shot yesterday so sluggish.  After chatting with mike carrol from fit for golf I will only be doing dominant side swings. Some swings off likely do to prgr setup. The weights are super easy to swap out. The trainer for a steel shaft seems kinda flexy.

Warmer today by 15 degrees compared to Tuesday (balmy 48*). only a 1 mph gain from pre to post today. Granted one of the post swings I drop kicked so that really should count. Some could be prgr readings. If you take the fastest two it was a 4 mph gain. The weights seemed harder to use today. Don’t know if it was the dampness or what. As well I notice my driver feeling significantly heavier after the trainings. Thinking I need to put the stock 12g weight back in instead of the 18g I bought to add some forgiveness (max ls).

Remember this a journey and not a day to day gain. 

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW 4,463]

All relative so small uptick.  Slower today. I think some of the low readings due to prgr set up, I think I was too close to it today.  Need to maybe fine tune things a bit. Love this as a trainer. Afterwards it makes the driver feel super heavy still. Like a sledge hammer. I almost feel amazed I can top 90 with it afterwards, yet again, there was a 100+.  Pre avg for the week was 92 mph. Post workout avg was 96.

Yes, this one has me thinking about it .

Do you guys think my SC200 is accurate enough?

Yes since it’s all relative anyways

It seems pretty consistent but to be honest, I don't pay a lot of attention to the swing and ball speed numbers. A little more looking around the web suggests they are accurate.

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW 4,463]

Start of week 2. Same swings as week one. Tweaked my prgr setup after a suggestion from @twyatt700. These numbers are more realistic from what I see on the course. Was sub 40 again this morning. Getting used to the trainer. The screw pieces do seem to struggle going in the cold but that could just be my cold fingers.

That looks more like your swing speed! Also, I thought you're from Wisconsin!?  Isn't 40 degrees is a warm day in those parts

Which radar did you get?

Edit: never mind - just saw the SC200. I thought you needed to hit a ball to register.

Prgr

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW 4,463]

Another session in the books. I feel like this speed training is helping me control my swing better. This aid is so easy to use and at this price point I’m glad I got it. I hope my gains hold only doing dominate side swings. If they do, looking forward to the increase I have and pushing it further after the initial 8 weeks.

Week 2 in the books. First few readings off due to the prgr being a little low. If I can get close to my post swing speed consistently that would be great. Next week starts adding in side steps. Tweaked my back so hope I can still start this Tuesday.

Start of week 3. Doubling my swing volume. Was wet and drizzling. For whatever reason the prgr had a bunch of misreads, hence only two data points in post swings and some low points on other swings. Also whacked the trainer into the dirt on a side step (SS) swing. Held up ok but probably should try to avoid that. Maybe swings on a less slippery surface next time instead of wet dirt.

Back slightly sore still but felt good after loosening up. Big gains today. Starting to see it with my irons too. Some 7i carries were 170-180 on prgr. At my fitting, my 7i carry was 165 normalized.
