The beginning

Born in a basement golf and fitness facility in the City of London, SpeedStix came about through the relationship between a keen golfer (Andrew) and a golf fitness coach (Mike).  Following  a strength and conditioning program that Mike had Andrew on for a month a quest for more speed was started.
Below are the numbers after the S&C program, but prior to the speed work:
And following the speed work, some new numbers:
It was then that the idea for SpeedStix was born.  Following a search for an affordable, portable speed trainer with a shaft and grip that “felt right” but coming up empty, Andrew put his brain to solving this for the regular golfer.  A few years later, SpeedStix launched.
