Hi Everyone

 

Im about to play my first round of golf for 2 years in a weeks time, and ive been working with the superspeed golf swing sticks to loosen me up.

 

Problem is, how useful are these sticks? its easy to swing anything fast when technique is irrelevant and theres no ball.

 

How effectively does this translate to a real golf swing?

I thought it had more to do with conditioning and not swing mechanics?

Thats kind of my point. Dont you run the risk of ruining your mechanics because you arent hitting a ball.

I could swing the sticks massively fast, but it wouldnt create a good golf shot

You’re not working on swing mechanics when you swing SuperSpeed. You’re building speed.

 By your logic, practice swings can ruin your swing as well. 
 

Learning to swing fast is a skill. You can work on speed and then work it into your swing over time.

Aren't the superspeed sticks meant to increase your potential swing speed? Is that your goal? Were me I'd be aiming to make good contact since you haven't played in 2 years.

Given these facts, I doubt speed is your primary concern right now.

    • Day 133: did a stack session. 
    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
