Thanks for sharing this very useful video. I must agree with this trainer's logic that he trains people to have the right sequences (forms) before hitting the balls. Most people do the opposit - hitting the balls, then the form and then speed.

Is this strength matrix available somewhere? I'd be curious where I land. 5'7", 160lb, don't do any strength training and max out around 117mph swing on Mevo+. I'd like to get over 120, but want to know where to focus.

[@cjfoshu]

Is there anyway to get the spreadsheet they used to calculate your potential?

[@jvelez1998]

I just started the Rypstick system a few weeks ago after working through the Superspeed program for 2 years. So far, I love the convenience of just having to operate with one club versus multiple sticks especially when warming up for a round. With my baseline swing speed already ranging from 116-118mph, I am curious to see how this product works and If it can help push my speed above 120mph baseline. Awesome video. Very inspiring.

[@beckmanchilds756]

The guy asking but you want more 😂 hey if the best in the world do it and want optimal speed then why not? I’d be happy to be ripping it 320 :3 but as a max perfect shot why not go for more! Wouldn’t it make it easier to hit 300+ with other clubs or sure swings? Im still an amateur to golf but now starting to keep track of my stats. Great content!

[@GRIFF22]

Excellent video. Interesting that he basically cherry picked different exercises from the superspeed program and went with those rather than advising to start with the basic exercises and work through the program...eventually getting to the heel lift and knee swing. I've got a very similar swing, quite steep and could probably eek out a few more mph with that heel lift. My only concern, having done some speedwork in the past, is that the heel lift becomes driver only and so you almost have a completely different wedge swing which can affect that aspect of the game.

[@rypgolf]

LG - I've got lots of good players that lift the heal on driver and lift it less on wedge shots. It's a fairly reasonable difference if trained properly. Keeping the weight more forward is key with short clubs and limiting center of mass movement.

[@swisstrader]

So lift the left heel on backswing?

[@ktomjr1]

[@brianmudd4964]

What kind of strength training do you pair with the overspeed? Squats, deadlifts, etc.?

[@rypgolf]

Brian, this all depends on what you need to do with your swing. If mobility and stability are solid we move on to strength quickly!

[@jumpguyty]

What weight of med ball were you using? Curious to try these. I'm convinced my numbers would be very high compared to what was shown (you did a great job btw), but if you're doing that and they say you should be swinging 120+, I want to know how much faster I should be swinging, because I'm at 130-133 rn, but I would have thrown that med ball through the wall with an overhead pass like that lol and likely could almost hit my head on the ceiling. This isn't some flex post, but more-so curiosity! Appreciate you letting me know the baseline med ball weight. Are they measuring in Feet/inches?/

[@rypgolf]

I've run Trackman and Foresight at the same time for years. So many differences between the systems but both are good. Indoors, foresight wins. Outdoors Trackman, but Trackman does not normalize as well as their algorithm claims, which is why so many tour players like Foresight outside. Foresight needs to correct their carry distance algorithm on low spin/high ball speed readings as these get ridiculously long.

Absolutely! The purpose of this training is to max out club head speed. Not concerned with ball speed until later in the training. Part of the process!

Paul, we are working golfers around the world remotely. Just get an 8lb med ball and send your numbers and your swing. We can create a plan for you. For free if you order a Rypstick.

[@ddeboy002]

but can you control it?????

[@AssociatedTechnology]

Not sure how this is unique in any way. This is essentially TPI training and speedsticks. There have been some complaints about the speedsticks (which is essentially this rypstick) causing hands and wrists to fling the club causing issues with ball flights and keeping the ball on your intended target line.

[@rypgolf]

Like any tool, the Rypstick can be misused. But 40+ PGA tour players are using it already so we know there is value in speed training. What makes us different is that we offer a custom plan that help you gain speed safely without compromising mechanics. We also offer a free swing assessment. Golfers like Cordie are easy, but many golfers will benefit from a more custom approach, which we can provide through TPI fitness and swing coaching. You are correct that we borrow ideas from others. Any why not? Good ideas should be used and improved on. Isn’t that the heart of innovation and capitalism? We also contribute own own line of research and expertise that is unique and proprietary. Send us your swing and we are happy to share our expertise!

[@golfsciencelab]

Love it!

[@AssociatedTechnology]

@@rypgolf so how do you respond to Korn Ferry tour player Luke Kwon and Rory not having good feedback on it?

[@AssociatedTechnology]

I also have no issue with innovation and capitalism.

[@rypgolf]

@@AssociatedTechnology I don't think either Luke or Rory have (as yet) used the Rypstick, but I think the point you make is valid. There will always be plenty of players forging their own way, but I think overwhelming science points towards the benefits of fitness and overspeed training working in combination. Look at players like Brian Gay that pick up 6+ mph and revive careers. Also, great trainers like Randy Myers are big proponents of overspeed training when used effectively with fitness. A huge part of our philosophy is helping our clients get stronger so that they can support the speed without increasing injury risk. As I mentioned in the video, golfers that are strong with a poor sequence tend to be the best candidates for speed gains, but almost everyone can benefit to some degree.

[@golfsciencelab]

What do you think @Rypstick Golf?

[@brentwinterbottom4671]

Hi I’m a TPI Certified health professional and personal trainer. Typically you want to see those numbers average between 18-22 (measured in feet for the throws and inches for the jump). I would predict your ball speed potential to be around 150mph and club head speed potential around 100mph. To really know if you need strength, you actually have to test strength (they didn’t in this video except grip strength) that would include push and pull strength tests and leg strength tests. Hope that helps.

[@rypgolf]

Peter, Brent is correct generally.... but seeing your swing will tell us quite a bit more. Email your swing to [e-mail] and I can give you more details on what your plan would look like. I can tell if you have a speed or strength problem pretty well from your swing.

[@bmos212]

Why are golfers are so jaded by the weight room, they always overlook the obvious, they try and gain all the speed using the same.body that is governed with limitations. In order to gain true speed you gotta build musculature to support connective tissue and bone. This is what allows you to sustain the sequencing on a fast swing. it's like putting a Ferrari engine in a Volkswagen and changing nothing structurally, and getting confused when you twist the fame and brake the motor mounts from over torqueing.

[@brianmudd4964]

[@bmos212]

@@brianmudd4964 I would first have to put you through a set of evaluations to assess your mobility, flexibility, and stability. Most golfers who I've trained lack stability, meaning they don't have the muscle strength to y support their swing. So I would work on a number of lower body exercises to build a base for a stable foundation. DEADLIFTS, SQUATS, compound movements. I would address your core, and shoulder mobility and strength. Once we establish a solid foundation then we would move to more progressive golf centric exercises.
