Speed Gauge

TEN MINUTES. SO SIMPLE!

IT'S ABOUT SCIENCE:
IF YOU WANT TO HIT HARDER YOU HAVE TO SWING FASTER!

CONTINUAL SWINGING is the KEY to increasing swing speed. Speed builds on speed, creating maximum speed, through the SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTUM.

SPEED = POWER         FASTER = HARDER

  1. Hold the SPEED STIK® with a standard baseball grip.

  2. Make 5 continual (non stop) swings with dominant side. Begin with slow swings, increasing the speed of each swing until achieving max speed by the 5th swing.

  3. Make 5 continual (non stop) swings with non dominant side (left side if right handed and vice versa). Begin with slow swings, increasing the speed of each swing until achieving maximum speed by the 5th and final swing.

  4. Make 5 continual (non stop), one arm swings with lead arm (left arm for right handed and vice versa). Begin with slow swings, increasing the speed of each swing until achieving maximum speed by the 5th and final swing.

  5. Perform the routine twice for a total of 30 swings. TEN MINUTES. SO SIMPLE.

SPEED GOALS

  1. Measure the speed of all three swings at least once a week.

  2. Attempt to increase the speed of all three swings weekly.

  3. Strive to minimize the difference between dominant and non dominant side speed.

  4. Strive to minimize the difference between the speeds of all three swings. Ten mile per hour differences is an acceptable goal. Example - 75 mph for dominant side; 65 mph for non dominant side; 55 mph for lead arm.

THE SPEED GAUGE

  1. The speed gauge will always register the highest speed of the continual swings.

  2. View the top of the red foam indicator for determining speed.

  3. The speed gauge "window" should "face" towards the pitcher when swinging.

  4. To reset the gauge, lightly tap the handle/grip end of THE SPEED STIK® on top of shoe.

  5. CAUTION: The speed gauge cannot be repaired or replaced. Although very durable, the gauge can be damaged beyond repair. Avoid making repeated contact with the ground or other objects when swinging THE SPEED STIK®. USE ONLY SPEED STIK SOFT TOSS BALLS DURING LIVE HITTING PRACTICE SESSIONS!
