Look really interesting and seriously thinking of buying.

I bought the Swing Speed golf over the winter but I was in the middle of lessons and I didn’t want to start until I was happy with my swing.
I got them in McGuirks for about 130 I think.
They should be the same as Superspeed.

The speed sticks are a training aid to increase swing speed only. They are no benefit for ur technique.
Many tour pros are using them most notably Phil Michelson

Pretty sure that Superspeed are claiming to have around 650 touring pros using their kit

what radar have people used before. The blue swing speed radar seems to be the most popular

I think, generally, yes, though their site. There are a lot of other sites that offer discount codes for the sticks. Practical Golf definitely used to have one.

As far as I know, they do offer a deal to do a combo of the sticks + that blue radar on their own site, which could be better value.

There are other companies that do imitations of the sticks, likely cheaper, so it might be worth taking a look around online

I didnt buy a radar at the time, but subsequently bought the SwingCaddie SC200+

Strictly speaking it's a launch monitor, but the "+" model also includes a swing speed mode, so it picks up the sticks without hitting a ball.

I picked that up on a deal where they were charging the same price for the model I bought that they were charging their older models

Phil (tee off and then decide what golf course you're playing) Mickelson? Not sure it's speed he needs.

How are these different to the orange whip, or the cheaper Vgeby golf swing trainer........?

Have been warned to do a stretch/warm up before each session.

I was doing it at the same time as a strength and mobility plan. Used to match up my superspeed sessions with the mobility days, so that made sure I was well stretched out before doing the protocols.

Don't know of anyone with too much swing speed to be honest?

I have them, and had gotten through about 8 weeks of the protocols before the things shut down. Now stuck with apartment living, so don't have space to make a full swing, so they're put away for the moment.

@BigChap, the focus with them is not about technique really it's about, in essence, normalising the speed. So you are swinging way above your normal controlled swing and it is basically tricking your brain in to thinking that faster is the new norm.

You should, absolutely be working on your technique separately with a pro, but this is purely about speed, not technique.

First time I measured, which was about week 4, as I didnt have a monitor, I hit about 116. The highest speed I'd gotten up to with the lightest stick, when I'd finished up was, I think 122-123mph. Cant remember the exact calculation, but I think that equated to roughly a driver swing speed of somewhere in the high 90s.

I was in the low 90s when I was fit for my current driver originally, so was around about a 4-5 mph gain I think.

Was hard to gauge the benefit playing winter golf in bad conditions unfortunately

Pretty sure they do mention the importance of maintaining technique with the acquired speed.

I would say to get full benefit of the training you would need to have some sort of measuring device to track your improvements and gameify it a bit for yourself.

I wonder what the impact is on the shorter element of the game? Does a faster swing at wedge level of club translate to better results?

From speaking with trainers/golf pros I believe it will in the 6-12 week term increase swing speed which should hopefully increase distance across all my clubs.
No benefit to shorter clubs really but extra distance off tee wouldn't go astray.
I will update (my numbers) maybe weekly if I can

Does technique not play a huge part in how fast you can swing a club - would be slightly dubious on these used in isolation without some coaching etc?

Seemingly not. Obviously good technique can only help but these sticks can improve speed of all swings

Ya looks very straight forward to increase speed.
I bought them anyway should be here tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing increased distance with the driver hopefully
