Speed Stik Training Club

The Speed Stik is a noticable training aid for improving golf swing speed thanks to the television endorcement by Vijay Singh. The only problem I have with this training aid is the never-ending goal for the amateur golfer to swing it harder and harder, faster and faster.

Swinging a golf club as fast as you can does not necessarily mean you will crush your drives. In fact, the harder you swing, there is a good chance it will go less due to muscular tension and slowing down of the clubhead at impact.

I am all for training the body to perform at a faster rate, but not at the expense of golf swing sequence, timing and mechanics. The end-goal should be improved golf swing mechanics, a stronger body and higher golf swing speed. This combination can be deadly!

I swung the red speed stik over 20 times in succession, just like they told me to. I was pooped to say the least. Just like anything that you put effort into, you'll feel like you did something, but I kept thinking about ball contact and accuracy. Keeping it in the short grass.

I just don't know how by swinging this training aid as fast as you can with the pure goal of seeing that swing speed go up is the right approach. I mean...swing mechanics, ball to clubface contact, as well as swing sequence is all very critical. This is not worked on by swinging this club and can fatally ruin your golf swing (in my opionion).

If you are looking for other ways to increase your golf swing speed, taka look at the swing fan club.
