SuperSpeed Golf Speed Sticks PRO

The SuperSpeed Golf Speed Sticks PRO is a set of three weighted training sticks with a weight kit and free app protocols, built to raise your club head speed through overspeed training.

Why it made the list

Speed training works when you follow a plan, and SuperSpeed gives you one. The Speed Sticks PRO replaces the brand’s original three-club set with three new sticks (light, medium and heavy) and an Inertia Matching System weight kit. You start with the lightest stick, move up to the heavier ones and follow guided sessions in the SuperSpeed app.

The routine is short. SuperSpeed recommends at least three sessions a week of about 10 to 15 minutes each, and says most golfers see measurable gains within five to six weeks. Its own app data shows an average gain of 11.1 mph, or 10.7%, for users who logged 25 or more sessions. Those are the brand’s figures, not ours.

What it does well

• Three progressively weighted sticks for overspeed and heavier swings
• Weight kit lets you match each stick to your own driver
• Five levels of guided protocols in the free app for iOS and Android
• Blue stick converts into a portable trainer for travel
• Works for men, seniors, ladies and juniors 14 and older

The weight kit is the main step up from the original set. Instead of buying a men’s, senior or ladies set, one box can be tuned for different golfers.

Who it’s for

The Speed Sticks PRO suits golfers who want more distance off the tee and will commit to a few short sessions every week. It is a good fit for seniors who have lost speed, for juniors 14 and older who are building power, and for any player who wants a proven plan rather than random swings.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you will not stick to a schedule, because the gains come from repeating the protocol. If you rarely hit the center of the face, fix contact first. More speed on a mishit does not add much distance. Golfers with back or shoulder pain should check with a doctor before starting.

Key specs, explained

Each stick has an aerodynamic head that cuts drag through the hitting zone. The Load/Torque Zone shaft is designed to promote lag and a good release point and to feel closer to a driver. The grip is a multi-texture design that SuperSpeed makes oversized on purpose, because it says most golfers use grips that are too small for top speed.

The free app includes the five protocol levels, more than 30 other protocols and speed tracking. SuperSpeed Premium adds deeper stats and a custom program for $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year. A launch monitor is optional, though SuperSpeed recommends one for tracking.

How it compares

The SKLZ Gold Drive Training Tool costs less and gives three weight settings on one shaft, but it has no guided program. The SuperSpeed Golf Ladies Training System is the brand’s three-club set for swing speeds of 85 mph or less. Choose the Speed Sticks PRO if you want the newest system with a weight kit and app levels.

Good to know

SuperSpeed lists the Speed Sticks PRO at $199.99, and PlayBetter has it at the same price. A bundle with a PRGR launch monitor costs $399.99. SuperSpeed backs the set with a 30-day speed gain guarantee, so you can return it for a refund if you are unhappy with your gains. Always warm up before a speed session.
