Club Speed Training | Rypstick vs. SuperSpeed

[@cluman1]

These systems work. It worked for me. The difficult part for some people will be the consistency of doing speed training 3 times a week. It takes a little while before you start seeing substantial gains so can see why people might stop training. For most of my fellow golfers, learn how to swing a club properly first. You will hit the ball further by hitting it straighter. Proper swing path then speed training. Having a 270 yard banana slice is not the ball flight you want.

[@justinstephenson9360]

I had an average swing speed (94-95 mph with the driver) and started super speed training in late Autumn. After 4-5 weeks I had picked up 5-6 mph but it also felt so easy, very much in control and driver dispersion at that speed was excellent. Then lock down hit in the UK and I continued with the training until an icy day when I fell heavily and broke a couple of ribs (nothing to do with Superspeed training and everything to do with my own stupidity). Now healed and am back in Superspeed training (3 weeks in) in time for golf re-opening on April 12th. Should be interesting to see if I kept the speed or even gained a bit. Optimistically I am aiming for 104-105 mph, i.e. a 10 mph overall gain, but more realistically anything over 100 mph consistent would be excellent

[@method341]

That's great mate, I am currently at 94 mph and looking at buying these. But they're so expensive!

[@bestpage]

​@@method341 My alternative fot these expensive things... Handy Speed Stick! More info ?

[@bestpage]

And... what was the result...?

[@ditrenh]

Don’t leave us hanging….what were the result?

[@GregSmith-pb3gh]

I got the superspeed for Christmas and I've been using it since February. Cant wait to see the results. I still prefer the concept of SS because you dont have to stop and change weights during your workout. With SS you just grab and go...

[@2ndswing]

Very nice! Both are great products it all just depends on what you want! Superspeed is great for grab and go but you need to have room for 3 sticks! Thank you for watching!

[@Phdportsguy]

Both you have to either switch a club or take out a weight. However, I think it’s easier to carry 1 stick vs. 3 to the range or the gym.

[@2ndswing]

@@Phdportsguy Very good point. They are both excellent to help us gain distance!

[@BlackjackCZ]

I have been using Super Speed since February. I picked up 6mph. The best thing about the speed training for me is it really freed up my swing.

[@chrisc353]

Have you seen a 6mph gain across all clubs or just driver.. particularly interested in what gains you've seen in your irons.

[@ReinoutSchotman]

Apart from Rypstick and Superspeed, you also have similar sticks from Rawspeed and Pure2Improve. I have the last brand and the shaft is sold separately from the set of 3 weights. I bought the regular, 85 shaft, which is 2" longer than my regular driver shaft and it feels stiff, like my driver shaft.

[@skateboardingover3047]

there's a nice crunchy sound every swing you make. I can only assume it's your vertebrae trying to escape your body.

[@nateroscoe8012]

ankle likely.

[@TGFarmsTX]

Just ordered a Rypstick. Pumped to try it out!

[@oVisionaire]

So, how did it go?

[@TGFarmsTX]

@@oVisionaire I love it. Have picked up a few MPH already. Up from around the 110 mark to 113-114. Better flexibility too. It's high quality and I just keep it in my bag now and loosen up with it before playing sometimes as well. Worth the buy!

[@hbyrdut]

The protocols are the same for both systems?

[@brentmundie]

Doesn’t the swing speed radar documentation say to position it about 45 deg open? So that the front face of the device is staring at your backswing. I think it might be measuring a little inaccurately because of its orientation.

[@iananddani]

It does say that. But I assume the numbers are still consistent and that's what matters. Although when it's orientated correctly I assume I am able to better find my release point

[@steveparker7335]

Which radar device are you using? I have seen the prg black that superspeed offers are there options?

[@2ndswing]

We are using the swing speed radar. We have not tested the PRG Black device from superspeed but no doubt it is a great product!

[@markk171]

I know this is off topic, but I will soon be going for some club fittings (driver is the 1st one)...how do I know before hand if a fitter is just selling clubs or if a fitter is actually going to look at my swing and determine if I need a new driver, look at attack angles, etc? Thanks guys for the Videos!

[@bertofehr]

If they put you on a launch monitor, check your swing speed, attack angle, spin rate, etc. And you try different shafts, then they're doing it right. If they just check your swing speed & say, "You're a Reg Flex, here you go"..Walk away..

[@markk171]

@@bertofehr Yep, unfortunately the closest club fitters to me is a 2 1/2 hour drive. I suppose I should call and ask them exactly what they do when doing a fitting...I would hate to drive that far then turn around and leave. :)

[@hildashubby]

Starting my SS regime today, I am hoping to gain some yards across the bag with a few extra mph of clubhead speed.

[@2ndswing]

Very nice! Congrats on your new Super Speed set! Let us know what those gains are!

[@theinformedsolution8869]

Any way to show the actual driver shot on the course?

[@christianbaath754]

I swing the green superspeed stick at about 130-132mph but my driver only 100-102 on trackman with a ballspeed of 150mph. I have been using a red and two different blue speed radars with similar results. How is it possible you can swing a driver with ball at the same speed as the green stick?!?

[@retired8123]

If the lightest stick weight is 275 g is that lighter than a regular driver? What is the weight of a regular driver?

[@madshansen5860]

310 g

[@bertofehr]

Average new driver head is about 200/210 grams. Add about 60-70 grams per shaft + around 35/50 gram grip.. Yeah, Math...

[@radidoc4832]

I have few old drivers and woods from my parents, ladies and senior. Thinking using them for speed training

[@kourt2469]

how accurate is the little blue radar device compared to the trackman readings for clubhead speed?

[@bertofehr]

Their okay.....Might be off a mph or two here & there. But if you're just trying to go faster every time, it really won't matter all that much.

[@j.w.matney8390]

I intend to use these at home, so rather then fiddle with the cartridges, I'd rather just pick up a different stick. I'm look forward to starting training this week. (9/19)

[@2ndswing]

Let us know how the training goes. I also plan on getting back into it at the beginning of my offseason in a couple weeks - Thomas

[@bestpage]

Do you use the Handy Speed Stick?

[@j.w.matney8390]

@@2ndswing It has been going well. I also have been doing flexibility/strength workouts at the gym. I am hitting the ball further and straighter without any equipment. I think it is good for older golfers to stay flexible and avoid getting the old man's swing.

[@chachifeere]

Did super speed for 5 weeks didn’t make a gain

[@annefilippobertozzi7601]

Weekend golfers trying to swing that hard, will end up injuring themselves. 100% Hit more often the center of the face, and you’ll never lack distance, at amateur level.

[@aaronmccardie8795]

Well what can I say, if you have natural swing speed for what ever reason that's fine ,but with most people it's what they feel comfortable with. But for me to swing 10,15 20mph faster feels am not in control its a natural rhythm you can't force its but that's my experience ,either you swing or move naturally fast it won't work its all about control if you can control it.

[@2ndswing]

Timing and Ball Speed is greater than club speed, but just know that more club speed can give potentially more distance - Thomas

[@iananddani]

nice vid

[@donsmnc5319]

The main point is either speed training system will help you improve your club speed, the same question remains from my standpoint, can you gain more club speed and still keep the golf ball on the planet, ie: fairway your aiming at

[@glenburr6755]

Yes, for me at least.

[@robertsmith8699]

No, lol

[@GRIFF22]

Good review, but having used the swing radar I can tell, which is confirmed by this video, that they're just not accurate. The number you had with the lightest superspeed stick confirm that, they're way out. If you can swing the driver at 115 then you'd expect 120-130 with the green stick

[@stevenjenkins3882]

[@bmwerik1]

Bacon is good for me….

[@Drslaughterhouse]

Doesn’t seem accurate you need a better radar

[@garryhulgan5267]

notice, how trim they are, most golfers are fat belly's

[@concentrationmusic6192]

No excuse..you can swing at lunch

[@2ndswing]

Yep. 5-10 minutes 3x a week is all you need. - Thomas

[@garryhulgan5267]

well, lose that counterweight on your belly

[@davidreid2301]

What a waste of money! Just use a club!
