There has been some discussion on overspeed training on this forum lately and since I just received the SuperSpeed Golf Training System for Christmas I thought it would be cool to chart my progress on the forum.

Here's some basic info on overspeed training from the SuperSpeedGolf website.

Overspeed Training Summary

Tools I'll be using:

SuperSpeed Golf Training Clubs

Swing Speed Radar

I will start by doing the following protocol every other day for 3 weeks:

SuperSpeed Level 1 Protocol

Baseline Numbers:


GameGolf Typical Drive: 263

Swing Speed (Last time I was in Erie): 100-105

I did one SuperSpeed training session yesterday (Christmas Eve) but unfortunately I did not record my numbers. Going forward I will post numbers after each training session. Also I will be in Florida to play golf in 3 weeks so I'll analyze my driver distance using GameGolf when I'm out there.

Tonight was my first time doing the protocol in 10 days due to weather, and was really surprised, hit a new  all time PR with the green club and it was in the last set of stationary swings at the end,

If you have old/unused shafts lying around, you can make your own speed sticks if you want for a fraction of the price. I had 3 shafts and I used washers that fit over the end of the shaft and us

Great, @cedrictheo ! I was wondering how effective the SuperSpeed system was, so I look forward to your progress.

I will be posting my fastest 2 reps from the sets of 5 (excluding lefty sets and sets from my knees)

Recorded Session #1

Regular Right Handed Swing:

Green: 132mph and 128mph

Blue: 124mph and 119mph

Red: 114mph and 113mph

Step Swing Right Handed:

Green: 133mph and 132mph

Blue: 122mph and 121mph

Red: 121mph and 117mph

So the green club is 20% lighter than a regular driver, the blue club is 10% lighter than a regular driver, and the red club is 5% heavier than a regular driver.

Recorded Session #2

Regular Right Handed Swing

Green: 128mph and 127mph (-4 from all time max)

Blue: 120mph and 117mph (-4 from all time max)

Red: 121mph and 120mph (+7 from all time max)

Step Swing Right Handed:

Green: 135mph and 133mph (+2 from all time max)

Blue: 130mph and 127mph (+8 from all time max)

Red: 130mph and 118mph (+9 from all time max)

I'm really happy to see the red numbers going up, as that is the club that is closest in weight to a regular driver (5% heavier).

This reminds me of the orange whip. It is also a bit like the Somax hip trainer.

Interested to see how this progresses too, in 2015 I simply want to be bombing it 300 yards, if I don't do it at my age I never will lol.

Recorded Session #3

Regular Right Handed Swing

Green: 132mph and 129mph (Tied all time max)

Blue: 122mph and 122mph (-2 from all time max)

Red: 123mph and 118mph (+2 from all time max)

Step Swing Right Handed

Green: 134mph and 133mph (-1 from all time max)

Blue: 128mph and 126mph (-2 from all time max)

Red: 122mph and 122mph (-8 from all time max)

Max numbers were down but the the differential between maxes and the other reps are getting closer so my average between the 5 swings would be higher.

Hmm... So my wife's driver is lighter than mine, then my driver, then my old driver which is a bit heavier.  Then I get that speed radar.  Seems I could do this with those.

Any drawback that you can think of to using actual clubs?

@cedrictheo ,

I would be curious to see what your regular driver swing speed changes are as well as the training speeds with the SuperSpeedGolf clubs.  Can you track those change as well?

@No Mulligans I think that could work. You are looking for roughly a 10% increase/decrease in weight lighter and heavier. Hard to say without knowing the exact weights. However I would guess most people could improve thier swing speed by measuring with the radar and doing sets trying to increase it.

@boogielicious I am following the superspeedgolf protocol which does not mention swinging a regular driver. My plan is to assess driver distance using GameGolf when I'm in Orlando 2 weeks from now to see how the training converts into distance on the course. I dont have access to a flightscope or trackman now but if you think it would be beneficial I could take a few swings at the end of my training session with my regular driver and no ball and post the numbers (I'd venture to guess they will be well over my on course speed meaning they will be just as indistinguishable to you as the speeds with the training clubs).

@cedrictheo , The SuperSpeedGolf sticks are also probably better for the switch over to swinging left handed.  My wife is not that excited about me using her new Callaway driver to work out with.

Is this SuperSpeed Golf protocol you are doing, is it every day?  Or, like other exercise routines, are there off/recovery days?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      I wonder if the Saudis all kinda chuckle when they ask Greg how he feels about 72 holes vs 54…😃
