Was SuperSpeed Golf Training a HUGE Mistake for my Dad

[@miked6460]

Love that your dad took the challenge and I hope he kept training. I started a multi-system approach 2 years ago and now at age 71 I'm at 112 MPH max with blue and 116 max with green. I also use a Speed Whoosh at 133 MPH max. It's led to +30 MPH ball speed increase to 150 MPH on Trackman with driver and a 10 stroke drop in handicap. The key for me was 1.5 years of experimentation to find the right combination of nutrition/supplements and strength training to protect my joints and allow me to do max speed/overspeed training 100% pain free and with quicker recovery. In my experience gains will be limited by even slight pain.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Wow, great to hear all of that. Well done.

[@ronm2970]

Never too old to get better! I’ve noticed my swing has gotten quicker over the years. Not a full, nice tempo swing of my youth. I ordered some weighted swing trainers on eBay and I’m looking forward to starting a program this winter.

[@SuperSpeedGolf]

Thanks for the support Jon and GREAT work Bob! Can't wait to see where you're at after level 2!

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Thanks for a great product 😀 Bit worried he's catching me up now!

[@bobperkins2474]

Super impressed. Thanks 🙏

[@fwood1231]

Very inspiring. I’m 74, swing speed 86, carry 190. My driving is getting better but I’m going to try this out. I stopped playing for 15 years, terrible decision by the way, and started back about two years ago. Been a struggle but handicap down to 14.5 and trying to get to at least 10.0. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@barrywilson4130]

Congrats to your father, finding a few extra yards off the tee is always nice but 23 is amazing. Gonna give these a try myself.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

He did a great job - very proud of his effort.

[@JohnBlakeJr]

I am 69 years old. Changed a few things in my setup and observed positive results. This winter, I’m planning to stay active and this looks like an upgrade over my previous swing training device. Thanks for the video.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

No problem and good luck with whatever you do!

[@madorsey077]

I’m so happy for your Dad. I can tell he loves the game and those extra yards and improved trajectory are going to be huge for him.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Thanks, me too! That bit of re-gained distance definitely makes a big difference and adds back some of the fun!

[@akchoirboy678]

Congrats Dad! Excellent job for an old bloke!!! 🙂 I'm over 50 and bought the speed sticks for a family member, guess I need to try them myself!

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

He did great! Good gift, but yeah, I'd be sneaking a go on them if I was you :-)

[@Caddiesense]

Way to go Pops! Great progress!

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Thanks for the support - he's doing great!

[@MarkLiversedge]

Fantastic- I had to stop my training as got COVID but will get back on it, 20 odd yards is worth it !

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Do it!!

[@heathercannady]

Glad to have discovered your channel. I’m brand new to golf as a 40 year old and excited!

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Welcome!

What an awesome video!!! Way to go to you Mr Perkins and you too Jon. Bravo!!

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Thanks Neil, appreciate that!!

Congratulations Bob! That is terrific! God Bless.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Thanks for the good wishes

[@jamesbdavidson4540]

Great work I bet Bob's thrilled gaining that much,a real game changer✔️👍

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Thanks - he did great and yes is very pleased!

[@ptrckkear1]

Super great results. Congratulations!

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Thanks Patrick!

[@1985nyg]

That is a massive increase in carry. That’s awesome.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

He's done great! Thanks for watching.

[@ptrckkear1]

I am 71 and have used the Superspeed golf training. My results are similar after 10 weeks. At the beginning my driver wing speed was 85 MPH now it is 102MPH, with more accurate, smaller dispersion and lower scores.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

That's awesome - great job!! Keep up the inspiring work.

[@grandpagolf]

There are millions of ways to improve the golf club / club head speed, certainly not only with heavy sticks which can be harmful. Flexibility, mobility workout, for example, even at 72. And applying properly any sound technical advice, looking for better sequencing, "slinging the ball" training, and so on. There is no big secret, just a matter of dedication to the job. Not many senior golfers are really prone to train, that's the truth.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Yep, I'm sure that's right. Dedication the key to most things I guess.

[@scannon4492]

The point here though is would any of the things you suggested be a) as easily accessible b) take 30 minutes total a week and C) give you 23 yards carry in 6 weeks. Doubt it. I haven't bought the sticks or tried it myself, but the results are really impressive. He could probably find another 10 yards with time in the gym... But honestly, would he want to?

[@Fitennis60]

Nice. Great job dad 👏

Great move doing video with your Dad. Makes it harder for your wife to turn your backyard training area into a She-shed😂! Nice touch with the kids in the pool as a water hazard. 👍🏽

Really amazing work. 💪💪💪

[@garlandxx3400]

Please do a video on the Golf Forever training stick

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Not heard of it - will look into it. Cheers

[@stephenyoung9045]

Hi Jon, I stumble across this video and it's really insightful. As a senior golfer (mid 60's) I'm wondering if you did any injury prevention work w your dad prior to and during the speed training? Thanks again... Stephen

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Thanks. I didn't personally no, though he's been to see golf physio's etc. He is/was quite active by nature when he was doing this. If people have concerns then I'd definitely think they should get checks and an ok to do it. I think the guide for Super Speed says the same, along with building up to it.

[@stephenyoung9045]

@JonPerkinsGolf Thanks Jon... 😊

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

No problem@@stephenyoung9045

[@sjweaver125]

I currently have the regular speed sticks. I have had them for 4 years. Since that time I have turned 65 and have experienced some health issues. Is is possible to only purchase the yellow stick to add to my regular sticks so I can now practice with the senior sticks. Please advise how I can do this and provide a link to make the purchase of the yellow stick, thank you.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Hi Scott, let me check with the @SuperSpeed Golf guys for you!

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Hi Scott, I checked in with Super Speed and you can get just the yellow stick but you need to contact them directly to arrange it. Hope that helps. Good luck

[@martinblackmore4515]

How do you decide to get standard or senior speed sticks? My current club head speed with the driver is 94 MPH and I am 65 years old. Any advice? looks like they work so I am thinking of giving them a try

[@SuperSpeedGolf]

We generally recommend based off of what type of driver you are currently playing. If you are playing an ultra-light driver (shaft is under 60g) we would recommend a Senior Set for the best results. If you are playing with a standard men's driver (shaft is over 60g) with your swing speed at 94mph, we would recommend the Men's Set.

[@scottcampbell6006]

HI Jon, really appreciate the videos you've made on the speedsticks, and I think I'm going to purchase them. Only thing is your discount code doesn't seem to be working for me, would you have any idea why? Is it only for certain products perhaps, or has it expired? I'm trying to buy the men's set with blast speed analyser. Would really appreciate any help if you can give it. No point in spending more than needed. Thanks!

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Thanks and agreed! I just tried the code: jonpertkins and it looked like it was working - is that what you used? Can you tell me anything else that's happening? I'm happy to check with the Super Speed team for you. Cheers, Jon

[@rondarling751]

Do you have to also get the launch monitor? I use a Voice Caddie which doesn’t read a swing unless there’s a ball. Can’t justify having two monitors

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Hi, no you don't need to use a radar to get the speed. My experience is that it definitely helps as it makes you push more, but you don't have to do it that way.

[@robertllewelyn4902]

I have been a long time user of SuperSpeed sticks and have the same question as above regarding purchasing the yellow stick only as now aged 67. Hopefully SuperSpeed can help us out with a reply as long time supporters.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

I'll do my best to find out! Thanks for watching.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Hi Robert, I checked in with Super Speed and you can get just the yellow stick but you need to contact them directly to arrange it. Hope that helps. Good luck

Is it possible to get a discount code for the sticks please. Great video

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

No problem, there is a link in the description text below the video. Let me know if you have any issues though 🙂

[@CharlesFromage]

Didn’t you also do Force Pedals with your training last year. Just curious because I bought a pair recently since you seemed to think they helped. Not sure if they are additive or not?

[@CharlesFromage]

Also, while I have enjoyed all your videos, the moment you told your dad his gains and his reaction has to be your best 5-10 seconds of video to date.

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

@@CharlesFromage Agreed!!

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Hey Charles, yes I still use my Force Pedals just not all the time and I thought it might be overkill for my Dad. I find them great to go back to for the feeling they give. Some of their hitting drills are difficult early on though.

[@davidmcaloney8504]

Hi Jon, thanks for the video. I’m planning to purchase the speed sticks. When I click on your discount link though it directs me to their site but no discount is applied. They are charging the regular retail price. Do you happen to have a discount code? Thanks

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Hi David, I'll check with Super Speed and get back to you on what's happening. Thanks!

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Hi David, so the link should now work everywhere but also the code is: JONPERKINS Thanks

[@davidmcaloney8504]

Thanks so much Jon. That worked. You have to ask for the Australian site first and then add your name in the coupon section at checkout. Cheers mate. David

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

Your dad, like most people, has a fundamental misunderstanding of how the golf club works. The golf club is not a baseball bat. He's clearly attempting to move the clubhead in the direction of the desired ball flight and that's not how a golf club works. The golf club is a unique and almost magical tool when used properly. It's a lever, not just a stick, so it works completely differently than a baseball bat or tennis racket. Your dad could be flying the ball well past 240 if he was using the club properly. Also, speed sticks, when used as directed daily are basically just strengthening the abdominal muscles. When the abdominals become stronger they also become faster so an ab-roller will do the same thing without the risk of injury that can happen with speed sticks. Yes, I know someone who was injured using them and has never been the same since and now, years later, still can't play golf and no doctor knows what's wrong.

[@gilbertamthor5098]

I am 63 and just hit 124 mph club head speed last week. It takes way more than speed sticks

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Well done on your results
