Golf Swing Teaching Aids – A Review Of The Speed Stik
posted in Golf Training |
Within the golf swing teaching aids category, there are hundreds of products to choose from. I generally only pick out the golf swing teaching aids that are worthwhile as there isn’t time to go through all the mediocre ones. Today, I will give you a review of the Speed Stik .
I must admit, the first time I saw the Speed Stik I didn’t pay much attention to it. It looked such a simple device that I didn’t think how it could possibly help my golf swing. Now, I have a different opinion of the Speed Stik; when you take a closer look you soon realize how it can vastly improve your golf swing.
As you probably know, to be able to hit a golf ball further, you have to increase your golf swing speed. A lot of golfers have difficulty increasing their clubhead speed as they equate more distance with just trying to hit the ball harder. So, this is the first thing the Speed Stik can do for you – increase your distance by increasing your golf swing speed.
Did you know that the average male golfer swings at 90 mph which results in an average distance of just over 225 yards. The average female golfer swings at 70 mph and therefore can hit the ball 175 yards on average. If you want to hit the ball 250 to 300 yards, you will have to increase your swing speed up to 100 or 120 mph.
The Speed Stik is a weighted stick that is longer than a driver. It comes in two different weights depending on how much you weigh. Some serious golfers have both Speed Stiks; the heavier one to build up strength and flexibility, and the lighter one to increase their swing speed. As speed builds on speed, you will increase your speed gradually until you finally reach your maximum balanced speed.
How do you measure your golf swing speed? Well, the Speed Stik comes with a built in speed gauge. All you have to do is swing the stick and check the gauge to see how many MPH you can swing at. This way, you get instant, accurate, and reliable feedback to track your progress on a daily basis. This positive feedback will serve to inspire, encourage, and motivate you to do the drills on a daily basis.
What can the Speed Stik do for you? It will improve the efficiency of your golf swing, strengthen your golf specific muscles, increase your flexibility, improve your sense of balance, improve and enhance the coordination between your upper and lower body, and ultimately it will give you explosive power for more distance. But combined with the other benefits, your over all golf swing and confidence level will improve dramatically.
This is one of the most serious golf swing teaching aids on the market. When you realize that the like of Vijay Singh, Arnold Palmer, and Miguel Angel Jimenez all use and endorse this product. If it works for these guys it will sure help the average golfer to reach their full potential on the golf course.
Just imagine, if you buy The Speed Stik you will be just 15 days away from swinging faster, hitting the ball farther, scoring better and gaining more enjoyment from your golf game.
For the money and the effectiveness of this golf swing training aid, I have no hesitation in recommending the Speed Stik to every golfer that wants to improve. There is also a junior version available so that any boy or girl can get of to a great start with their golf game.
