My Swing Speed Journey

[Lucifer MorningStar]

It may not do your dodgy shoulder any favours.

Weirdly my dodgy shoulder has more issues when it’s not being worked. Swinging a club the shoulder is actually in a good place at the moment and I’m not convinced a speed stick would put that much more stress on it.

Plus with the physio we’re working on how I can keep the shoulder improving whilst playing and working.

How do people find speed sticks, I’m intrigued and considering some, I do a lot of gym work as I enjoy it and need it for work anyways so I generally have good ground work to generate speed. But also have a pretty lazy swing tempo so been thinking about getting a sped stick to go with the gym work and add a few MPH especially on driver ball speed.

As you very likely have high physical capabilities I’d be surprised if you didn’t get quite a lot of benefit from it. It’s all about breaking down the neurological speed limiter/regulator that keeps us quite a long way below our physical max.

I’m an occasional-only gym goer in an occupation that is atrocious for killing mobility/flexibility and have still gradually got decent gains (5mph and hoping to get another 5) despite taking it very gradually, recognising I’m no athlete. I’d bet your potential gains are both much higher and much quicker than mine.

I’ll take the compliment I don’t get many

Any recommendations on speed sticks to use. I’m not worried about all singing and dancing and I’ve never used them before so I wouldn’t know where to start and with what weights.

I really like my Rypstick, although I'm having problems with the app that all the tutorial videos are no longer working. But tbh, I don't think you necessarily need to follow a 'plan'.

I've been continuing with my kettlebell training and the latest speed session I did I was at 113mph, so pretty happy with how things are going.

So I could just araldite an old drill chuck on to the end of a shaft and give that a swing then?
