The Science Behind SuperSpeed Golf
A Decade of Data and Studies from Real Golfers
RESEARCH-BACKED
Speed Training Proven by Independent Research
SuperSpeed Golf is the most studied overspeed training system in golf. Multiple independent studies including research by Dr. Tyler Standifird at Utah Valley University, Top 100 instructor Ron Gring, and MyGolfSpy have measured the effectiveness of SuperSpeed training across every demographic, from juniors to seniors, recreational golfers to tour professionals.
The results are clear: structured overspeed training increases swing speed, driving distance, and overall performance.
DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH
Meet Dr. Tyler Standifird
Dr. Tyler Standifird serves as Assistant Professor of Biomechanics at Utah Valley University and Director of Research for SuperSpeed.
His research focuses on the effectiveness of SuperSpeed training and its impact on golfers, from recreational players to tour professionals, helping refine the swing speed training protocols trusted by golfers worldwide.
SUPERSPEED RESEARCH
Research Studies by Dr. Tyler Standifird
Six studies measuring the effectiveness of SuperSpeed training across golfers of every age and skill level.
On-Course Speed Training Study
Recreational golfers were tracked across ~4 weeks of baseline play using Shot Scope V3, followed by 6 weeks of Level 1 SuperSpeed training.
Results:
✓ Swing speed +6 mph
✓ Driving distance +15 yards
✓ Fairways hit improved 41% → 51%
✓ Total score improved by ~2.5 strokes
Ground Force Study
Fifteen recreational golfers were measured with Trackman and force plates before and after 6 weeks of Level 1 SuperSpeed training.
Results:
✓ Club head speed increased by 5 MPH
✓ Ball speed increased by 11 MPH
✓ Carry distance increased roughly 22 yards
✓ Peak vertical on the lead leg during the downswing increased by 9.2%
Junior Speed Study
Nine junior golfers ages 6–14 completed a 5-week speed training class — 30 min dynamic warm-up, Level 1 SuperSpeed protocol, and 30 min of driver practice. Measured with PRGR radar.
Results:
✓ Swing speed increased by 8 mph
✓ Average yardage gain was 22.2 yards
✓ Highest driver speed increase was 15 mph
C Club Study
Eleven recreational golfers (avg. age 40, avg. handicap 15+) completed 6 weeks of the Level 1 SuperSpeed C Club protocol. Trackman measured pre and post.
Results:
✓ Club speed +4 mph
✓ Ball speed nearly +10 mph
✓ Carry distance +22 yards
Non-Dominant Speed Training Study
Ten golfers completed six weeks of speed training using only their non-dominant side (left-handed swings for right-handed golfers). Baseline and post-training data was captured with a PRGR Launch Monitor and Bertec force plates.
Results:
✓ Driver club head speed gained 6.4 mph (about 6%)
✓ Lead leg vertical force increased 13%
✓ Lead leg lateral ("braking") force increased 30%
✓ Gains seen even in players already swinging 109+ mph
Grip Strength Pilot Study
Eight golfers (3 female, 5 male; ages 22 to 85) completed four weeks of golf-specific grip training using the SuperSpeed Squeeze protocol: 5-second isometric holds, 10 repeated squeezes, and 10 progressive intensity swings, two sets per session.
Results:
✓ Grip strength increased 5 to 7% across both hands
✓ Driver swing speed gained an average of 2.0 mph
✓ Improvements measured in normal grip and golf-posture grip alike
✓ Just four weeks of short, accessible training

Independent Studies
Additional data collections conducted by instructors and publications with the same consistent results.
Senior Study — Ron Gring, Top 100 Instructor
Forty-seven senior golfers (avg. age 70+, oldest 89) were measured over four months of SuperSpeed training.
Results:
✓ Average swing speed gain of over 5% for all players
✓ Female golfers gained 6% on average
✓ Male golfers gained 5% on average
✓ No correlation between age and speed gains

Senior Speed Gains in Action
Jon Perkins documents speed training for his 72 year old father who has had declining speed for years.

MyGolfSpy Study
Nine testers completed two SuperSpeed training protocols over 12–14 weeks, grouped by starting swing speed.
Results:
✓ Slow-speed players improved 8.8%, or an average of 8 MPH gained.
✓ Mid-speed players improved 7.6% or an average of 8.3 MPH gained.
✓ High-speed players improved 5.5% or an average of 6 MPH gained.
2nd Swing Master Fitter Tests SuperSpeed
Thomas Campbell, Master Fitter at 2nd Swing Golf, documented his own 6-week SuperSpeed training journey in a 7-video series on YouTube — tracking his speed, distance, and on-course numbers from start to finish.
His results after 6 weeks:
✓ Average club speed +6 MPH
✓ Carry distance +15 yards
✓ Documented week-by-week on his fitting bay launch monitor
