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: What is THE 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: How do I know which SPEED STIK®
is right for me - Red or Blue?
A: If you weigh over 175 pounds choose Red. For under 175
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: 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: How do I reset
the Speed Gauge?
A: To reset the speed gauge, lightly tap the handle-end of
THE SPEED STIK® on the top of your shoe.
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: 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.
