THE SCIENCE BEHIND SUPERSPEED GOLF

ON-COURSE SPEED TRAINING STUDY

Dr. Tyler Standifird

On-course performance of ten recreational golfers was compared before and after a 6-week speed training program. Participants tracked rounds of golf using the Shot Scope V3, to measure distance and accuracy of all shots played over the course of about 4 weeks of playing. After completing this baseline assessment, players completed 6-weeks of the level 1 SuperSpeed training program. Post training measurements of on course performance were evaluated and compared to the pre training rounds.

  • Swing speed increased by 6 mph
  • Average and performance driving distance increased by nearly 15 yards
  • Players increased fairway percentage from 41% to 51%.
  • Total scores improved by about 2.5 strokes.

GROUND FORCE STUDY

Dr. Tyler Standifird

15 recreational golfers participated in a study measuring the changes in swing speed, ball speed, distance and ground reaction force as a result of SuperSpeed training. Golfers data was initially assessed using the Trackman while players hit a series of drivers at max capacity while force plates were measuring the golfer’s force during the swing. Following initial testing, golfers were taught the level 1 warm up and training and were instructed to conduct 6 weeks of training. Final data was found using the same initial baseline testing methods.

  • Swing speed increased by 6 mph
  • Average and performance driving distance increased by nearly 15 yards
  • Players increased fairway percentage from 41% to 51%.
  • Total scores improved by about 2.5 strokes.

JUNIOR SPEED STUDY

Dr. Tyler Standifird

9 junior golfers completed a 5 week speed training class to assess swing speed gains and distance potential. The participants ranged in age from 6 to 14 years old. Training in the class consisted of 30 minutes of a dynamic warm up followed by the level 1 SuperSpeed training protocol. Following this time, players would spend another 30 minutes working on driver swings with balls. Pre and post measurements were taken under the same conditions utilizing the PRGR radar.

  • Swing speed increased by 6 mph
  • Average and performance driving distance increased by nearly 15 yards
  • Players increased fairway percentage from 41% to 51%.
  • Total scores improved by about 2.5 strokes.

C CLUB STUDY

Dr. Tyler Standifird

A group of 11 recreational golfers participated in the study where they completed 6 weeks of the level 1 SuperSpeed C Club protocol. The average age of the golfers in the study was 40 years old and the average handicap was just over 15. Max intensity swings with a driver were measured both pre and post training following identical warmup conditions while golf club and ball data were collected using Trackman. Club speed, ball speed and carry distance all improved as a result of the training program.

  • Club speed increased by 4 mph.
  • Ball speed increased by just under 10 mph.
  • Carry distance increased by 22 yards.

OTHER SUPERSPEED STUDIES

SENIOR STUDY

Ron Gring, PGA Top 100 Instructor

47 senior golfers participated in a study measuring swing speed changes as a result of SuperSpeed training. The average age was just over 70 years old, with the oldest being 89 years old. Speed measurements were taken over 4 months training. Gains were separated out by female and male senior golfers.

  • Average swing speed gain of over 5% for all players.
  • Female golfers on average gained 6%.
  • Male golfers on average gained 5%.
  • There were no differences for age and speed gains, all players gained speed regardless of age.

MYGOLFSPY STUDY

MYGOLFSPY.COM

MyGolfSpy selected nine testers to try the SuperSpeed system. After the first six-week session, every tester experienced some level of improvement. They seperated testers by starting speeds and put them into groups of "slow", "mid", and "high". After completing two training protocols (roughly 12 to 14 weeks), the results from the testing pool pretty much mirrored SuperSpeed’s stated expectations.

  • Slow speed players improved by 8.8%
  • Mid speed players improved by 7.6%
  • High speed players improved by 5.5%
