SpeedStix in detail
Speed Stix are a set of three weights and an adapter to fit on your driver or fairway wood shaft, turning your club into a set of golf speed sticks. Alongside our training program from a TPI certified trainer you can increase your club head speed by over 10 mph....that equates to 27 yards extra carry. Longer drives, shorter irons into greens, more birdie opportunities. Time to upgrade your swing to a super speed golf swing!
The body has alternating segments of stable and mobile joints. If it is working as it should, then the body is free to jump, squat, turn, push, pull, throw and chop – all actions that find themselves in an explosive swing. If any segment doesn’t perform as it should, then a compensation is made and power will leak and/or pain will be present. Our app will identify how this relates to you.
Work through our physical tests and record your findings for us to correct in the next section. Golf Posture Check, Pelvic Mobility, Hip Hinge Mobility and more.
From the comfort of your home, learn and then strengthen the three main areas responsible for a strong golfing body.
Learn how to use a combination of explosive jumps and throws to train your central nervous system to move faster at the key moves associated with high speed golf swings. All from the comfort of your home.
Your more powerful and efficient body mechanics can now be applied to the golf swing. We’ll take you through our speed progression programme which will transfer directly into swinging your clubs faster and hitting the ball further.

Distance vs Accuracy
The impact of driving distance and accuracy on scores: For a 20 yard increase in driving distance, a typical 100-golfers score will decrease by an average of 2.3 strokes per round. For a one-degree improvement in accuracy a typical 100-golfers score will decrease by an average of 1 stroke per round. Extra driving distance is worth more to high scoring golfers than low scoring golfers. The results below are based on a simulation analysis in a 2013 Columbia Business School working paper by Broadie and Ko:
Strokes per 20 yards: PGA Tour - 0.8; 80s - 1.3; 90s - 1.6; 100s - 2.3
Stroker per degree: PGA Tour - 0.8; 80s - 0.9; 90s - 0.9; 100s - 1.0 -
Trackman Combine
“Golf critics talk about technology making golf courses obsolete because of distance, but what they fail to clarify is that this only pertains to 0.1% of the golfing population. In truth, the vast majority of golfers are playing from tees that are too long based on their club speed and skill level.
If golfers are to continue playing the same length tees, then optimizing their driver distance is going to be key to enhancing their performance.
Because of the trends and correlations found in the TrackMan Combine data, it is possible to calculate the proximity to hole for nearly any handicap or approach distance with high confidence.”
By increasing your club head speed by 10mph, you can increase your driver carry distance by 27 yards.
Distance to target reductions from hitting your drive 30 yards further:
Yards left to pin: 224 -> 195 = 43’ closer
Yards left to pin: 202 -> 173 = 37’ closer
Yards left to pin: 184 -> 155 = 31’ closer
Yards left to pin: 165 -> 136 = 25’ closer
Yards left to pin: 102 -> 73 = 7’ closer
That means more greens hit, and more legitimate birdie putts.
