SuperSpeed is the one training aid on our list that reliably makes you faster — not through a swing tweak, but through overspeed training, one of the better-supported ways to add clubhead speed. It works, with two honest conditions: you have to do the reps, and speed alone won’t make you better if your strike is off. It sits among the speed and tempo tools. Here’s the candid account.
What it is
Three graduated training sticks — light, medium and heavy — and a structured overspeed protocol. The principle behind overspeed training is that swinging a lighter-than-normal club faster than you can swing your driver teaches your body and nervous system to move quicker, and that new speed then carries to the real club. The three-stick, preset-session format takes the guesswork out of how to train. Those are the mechanism and the maker’s protocol; our scoring is in how we rank.
Where it shines
Actually adding speed. Overspeed training is among the more credibly supported methods for raising clubhead speed, and the structured SuperSpeed protocol makes it easy to follow instead of guessing. For players who commit to the schedule, the speed gains genuinely carry to the driver — more clubhead speed is more potential distance, full stop. If your goal is specifically to swing faster, this is the honest tool for it, and one of the few aids that changes a physical capacity rather than just a feel.
Where it stops
It only adds speed. SuperSpeed does nothing for accuracy, face control or strike — and here’s the blunt part: added speed can make a slice worseif your face and path are off, because you’re now delivering the same fault faster. It also demands commitment: you need to follow the protocol for weeks, and ideally measure with a radar or a launch monitorto know it’s working. This is training, not a gadget you wave twice.
SuperSpeed or a tempo trainer?
They’re often confused, and they do opposite jobs. SuperSpeed builds speed; a tempo trainer like the Orange Whip smooths rhythm and sequencing. Fix the strike and the tempo first; add speed once the ball-striking is reliable. We settle the choice directly in SuperSpeed vs the Orange Whip.
Who should buy it (and who should skip it)
Buy it if you already strike the ball reasonably and want more distance, and you’ll commit to the protocol for weeks. Skip it if you’re chasing accuracy or contact rather than distance — more speed on a bad pattern just puts the ball in the trees faster. Fix the fault first with a feedback aid, then come back and add speed.
