DISTANCE IS ALL ABOUT SWING SPEED:
The faster you swing the farther you will hit the ball. The chart
below looks at different swing speeds and their relation to the
how far the ball travels.
Clubhead Speed Approx yard.
World Long Drive Champion 150 mph 375+
Men's PGA Tour 120 mph 300+
Ladies LPGA Tour 100mph 250+
Typical Male 90mph 225+
Typical Female 70mph 175+

drills correctly, will produce the follow residual benefits:
• Improve the efficiency of your golf swing.
• Strengthen all the golf specific muscles used in the swing.
• Increase your overall flexibility.
• Enhance and improve your sense of balance - an important
requisite to swing speed.
• Enhance and improve the dexterity and coordination between
the upper and lower body.
• Promote a feeling of explosive power and develop an aggressive
and confident mindset.
The Speed Gauge
Behavioral psychologists have determined that the learning process
is greatly accelerated in an environment that provides Instant,
Reliable, & Accurate Feedback The speed gauge, which is a critical
and integral part of The Speed Stik , provides you with this vital
information.
The speed gauge is easy to decipher because it is calibrated in
miles per hour (mph). To determine what your swing speed is, you
merely swing The Speed Stik and "read" the top of the
red indicator. To prepare for subsequent "readings", reset
the speed gauge by lightly tapping the handle-end of The Speed Stik
on the ground and you are set to go.
The speed gauge allows you to track your progress on a daily basis.
No guesswork involved! This positive feedback will serve to inspire,
encourage, and motivate you to do the drills on a daily basis.
FAQs
Q: How do I know which SPEED STIK is right for me - Red or Blue.
A: If you weigh over 175 pounds choose Red. For under175 pounds
choose Blue. If there is any question, choose Blue. You can create
more speed with a lighter object, Vijay begins his practice routine
with the Red SS and ends by swinging the Blue SS (3 minutes than
2 minutes).
Q: What is the difference between the Blue SPEED STIK® and
the Red SPEED STIK®?
A: Same length. Same outside diameter. Only difference is the weight.
Red weighs 24 oz whereas the Blue weighs 19.
Q: How do I reset THE SPEED GUAGE?
A: To reset the speed gauge, lightly tap the handle-end of THE SPEED
STIK® on the ground or the top of your foot.
Q: What is the metal piece that slides up and down inside the speed
gauge?
A: That metal piece is a reset button. It is designed to freely
slide up and down the inside of the speed gauge shaft. Its function
is to reset the red foam indicator that measures your swing speed
(many people assume the gauge is broken when they first receive
their SPEED STIK because they hear the reset button sliding up and
down inside the gauge).
Q: What is a SPEED STIK?
A:The SPEED STIK is a training device specifically designed to enable
you to increase your club head speed. Increased club speed will
result in more distance. Research indicates that a one mile per
hour increase in swing speed creates two to three yards more distance.
An increase of 5 miles per hour, therefore, would equate to an additional
10-15 yards. SS training leads to an increase of swing speed (and
more distance) with every club in your bag, not just the driver.
Q: Why should I buy a SPEED STIK?
A: Because distance matters and “Faster = Farther.” If
you swing faster, you will hit the ball farther. If you hit the
ball farther, you will score better. If you score better you will
have more fun. Having fun is a good thing. THE SPEED STIK® will
make all this possible.
Q: Why does it work?
A: Distance is directly related to swing speed. Tour professionals
swing the golf club around 125 miles per hour and hit the ball 300+
yards. The typical male golfer swings the club around 90 miles per
hour and hits the ball approximately 230 yards. The difference in
the yards is in the speed. Swing speed is a function of five factors:
Physical strength; flexibility; range of motion; balance and technique.
Irrespective of age, gender, and athletic ability, THE SPEED STIK®
combined with the prescribed drills, will bring about improvement
in each of the criteria that determines swing speed.
Q: How does it work?
A: THE SPEED STIK® is longer than a golf club and heavier that
a golf club. The outside diameter of THE SPEED STIK® is 1”.
Swinging THE SPEED STIK® in a continual manner (drill number
one) develops physical strength, improves flexibility, increases
range of motion, enhances balance and improves swing technique.
THE CONTINUAL SWING DRILL, IN TANDEDM WITH THE PRECISELY ENGINEERED
SPEED STIK, BUILDS “SPEED ON SPEED” AS THE SPEED OF EACH
SWING, GRADUALLY INCREASES, FINALLY CULMINATING IN MAXIMUM SPEED
ON BALANCE. One of the drills that speed runners utilize to increase
foot speed, is to run downhill. Running downhill forces them to
run faster. Speed builds on speed. The continual swing drill functions
on the same principal.
Q: Why are there two SPEED STIKS?
A: One size does not fit all. If you weigh less than 175 pounds
you need Blue. If over 175 pounds you need a Red SPEED STIK. The
Blue SS weighs 19 oz. and the Red SS weighs 24 oz. The serious golfer
requires both SS because the Red (being slightly heavier) will produce
maximum range of motion and golf specific muscle strength whereas
the Blue SS (being slightly lighter) will create maximum speed in
the swing.
Q: Is heavier better than lighter?
A: NO! The correct one for your weight is the one you want. THE
SPEED STIK® is all about creating maximum speed in the golf
swing on balance. You can swing a lighter object faster than a heavier
object.
Q: Is the SPEED STIK easy to use?
A: YES!! Pull the SPEED STIK out of the box, take it out of the
wrapper and start swinging it around your body in a continual fashion.
Six to ten swings on the dominant side (for most this means right
hand) then six to ten swings on the non-dominant side. Do two repetitions.
Begin with soft swings and build to maximum speed on balance. That’s
it! Workout over. 4-8 minutes, total time. The more you do this
the faster you will increase your swing speed. Twice a day would
be ideal.
Q: Can I use my SPEED STIK indoors?
A: YES! Since the basic drill requires the SPEED STIK to be swung
more around the body (as in a baseball type movement) than up and
down, high ceiling space is not required. Indoor winter workouts
actually produce better results because concentration is more intense
and focused as you are not anticipating getting to the first tee
or going to the practice range to hit a bucket of balls.
Q. Is it against the rules to take my SPEED STIK on the golf course?
A: No. (USGA decision 2001-496 It is not considered to be a 15th
club, therefore you can keep it in your golf bag during the round
and even in a tournament. You cannot, however, take it out and swing
it during the course of the round without incurring a penalty. Good
news is that you do not have to go to your car trunk or locker to
put your SS up after using it on the practice tee or just warming
up with it.
