SuperSpeed Golf Speed Sticks Pro Review: The Next Evolution in Speed Training

When SuperSpeed Golf revolutionized swing speed training nearly a decade ago, they set the standard that every competitor has tried to match. Now, with the Speed Sticks Pro, they’ve raised the bar again—and by a significant margin.

What Are They?

The Speed Sticks Pro represent SuperSpeed’s first major upgrade to their original training system. At their core, they’re three precision-weighted training clubs (light, medium, and heavy) designed to use overspeed training principles to increase your swing speed. But calling them just “weighted sticks” sells them way short.

The Major Upgrades

Inertia Matching System This is the game-changer. The Pro version includes a 10-piece weight kit (three 20g, three 30g, three 40g, and one 80g plug) that allows you to customize each stick to precisely match your driver’s swing weight and moment of inertia. This personalization means the training translates more directly to actual driver gains. The blue (medium) stick can even function as a standalone travel version with interchangeable weights.

Improved Aerodynamics SuperSpeed completely redesigned the head with three air flow modulators, replacing the old cylindrical weights. The result? These are legitimately the fastest speed sticks ever made. You can feel the difference immediately—they cut through the air with noticeably less resistance.

Upgraded Shaft Technology The shafts now feature two distinct zones:

• Load Zone: Optimizes how the shaft loads during the downswing
• Torque Zone: Optimizes the release for maximum speed at impact

These aren’t just marketing terms—you can feel the shaft working differently through the swing.

Tour Pressure Grip The new multi-texture grip promotes optimal grip pressure points throughout the swing. It’s a small detail that makes a real difference in maintaining speed while staying in control.

Real-World Results

The proof is in the numbers. Golf.com’s gear editor added 10 yards of distance after six months of training with the Speed Sticks Pro. University studies show consistent club head speed increases of 5-8% within 4-6 weeks of regular practice (3x per week, 15-20 minutes per session).

The poster child is Padraig Harrington—three-time major champion and 2024 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee. At 53 years old, he’s the fastest he’s ever been, leading the Champions Tour in driving distance with 118 mph club head speed. He’s gained 15 yards off the tee since starting SuperSpeed training.

The Training System

The Speed Sticks Pro work with SuperSpeed’s app (iOS and Android), which includes:

• Free Level 1 protocols with lifetime access
• Five levels of overspeed training for variety and progression
• Comprehensive stat tracking to monitor gains
• Gamification elements like notifications and badges to maintain motivation
• Premium membership option ($10/month or $100/year) unlocks all protocols, physical assessments, and community    leaderboards

The training follows proven overspeed principles: you swing from light to heavy, reducing dynamic resistance and teaching your body to move faster than normal. The system works for golfers of all ages, genders, and skill levels.

Who Should Buy?

Perfect for:

• Serious golfers committed to adding distance
• Players who have the space to make full swings (you need driver-length clearance)
• Anyone willing to train 3x per week for real gains
• Golfers who want precise customization to match their equipment
• Tour operators and teaching pros who work with multiple players

Price

At $199, the Speed Sticks Pro aren’t cheap, but they’re a legitimate training tool, not a gimmick. When you consider that 5-8% more club head speed translates to 20+ yards of distance, a gain that helps at every level of golf, they become one of the most cost-effective performance upgrades available. You’d spend far more on a new driver. And when is the last time a driver upgrade resulted in a 20-yard increase? Not to mention, a true speed gain means increased distance with all clubs!

The premium app membership runs $10/month or $100/year if you want access to all five training levels and advanced protocols. The free Level 1 protocols work, but the variety in the paid tiers helps maintain long-term commitment.

The Bottom Line

The Speed Sticks Pro are what a sequel should be: improvements in every area while maintaining the core principles that made the original great. The Inertia Matching System, improved aerodynamics, upgraded shaft technology, and better grip combine to make these the most effective speed training tools on the market.

They require commitment and consistent work, but they deliver measurable, significant gains. If you’re serious about adding distance to your game and willing to put in 45-60 minutes per week, the Speed Sticks Pro will absolutely deliver results.

SuperSpeed took their time developing this upgrade, and it shows. The Speed Sticks Pro aren’t just incrementally better, they’re legitimately the next generation of speed training.
