Golf 4 Top Speed

[Placido Teofilo]

Workspretty good! Especially on the toughest settings (foam pieces velcro'd closest to club path)....lets you know immediately if you're making any mistakes on path either on takeaway, or downswing.

Definitely going to get a lot of use out of this at home over the winter! Grooving the swing until i can get back out in the spring up here in MinneSnowta!

My coach used one of these with me and I liked it so much I purchased one. It was instrumental in getting rid of a hook on my irons. Never have really used it with Driver, but from time to time use it with pitches. IMHO this and the Orange Whip are very good training aids and the only Ones I continue to use. Although the Orange Whip is more of a warm up tool.

Interesting...I hate to drop $100 without trying it but it looks like that is the route to go. I have a tendency to hang back and help the ball up in the air. I need to drive through the impact zone and hit down and compress the ball.

I bought one after taking a lesson with a pro using a flightscope. My major issue was my swing path coming too far from the inside. The speed trap set at the hardest config with all the foam pieces in has really helped me get a more neutral path and has really straightened out my ball flight. My misses have been much more manageable since using it. I try to take at least a few swings with it every day. I even use it indoors just practicing my takeaway and even a full swing in slow motion. It is pricey for what it is but I have found it to be very effective for me at least.

Hey there, was wondering if you ever found out the dimensions on this? I was looking to do the same didnt find much on google. Reached out just now on golfsimulators forums but checking here now too to hopefully find something so i can make the same. Let me know if you were able to find out the dimensions. I'd appreciate it!

To me this aid looks like somebody took the Fat Plate training aid and Velcro'd on some bumpers for the routing part. That's no bad thing, but it's the plate part that I would want and I plan to just make one out of a 12x12 Lexington sheet.

One word of caution... I saw somebody using this at the range, and the next thing they were running 15 yards onto the range to pick up one of the red bumpers. I guess they can fly off if you hit them too hard. Thankfully this was a small range so others stopped hitting when they saw him running on...

I forgot to mention that you also get the same feedback when you don't have centered contact, because you clip the edge of the channel. Whether bought or homemade, I can definitely see the value of this type of training aid.

Been using it for a few years, highly recommend it with or without the red Velcro posts. Improves my ball striking every time I use it. Start with the ball further from the Perspex edge and slowly move closer.

I made something very similar out of a sheet of clear acrylic from Lowes. It was about 15" long by 10 inches wide. I cut a slot like Porschefan's in his photo 4" from the front edge. I hadn't seen the Speed Trap but I saw Martin Hall show something similar made out of plywood on the Golf Channel about 10-15 years ago.

I set it up with trackman running and tried all 3 set ups and hardly saw a change in path numbers between the 3. To hit a straight ball you need to swing slightly left and it doesn't set you up for that.

The Swing Speed Trainer improves speed in the golf swing. It helps to develop a "Tour-like" tempo by allowing young golfers to swing faster versus standard weighted clubs. It will enhance the overall swing development. The Swing Speed Trainer is the same length as the UL Driver.

Standing on the first tee with players watching behind you is enough to make anybody from a scratch to a high handicapper like myself nervous. But on Wednesday, there was no time to think over the ball. I had 18 holes of golf and a whole lot of running ahead of me.

Before I get into the details of the experience, I wanted to set this up as authentically as possible. Speedgolf USA, the national governing body for the sport, has a certain subset of guidelines, but it almost entirely follows the USGA Rules of Golf.

Armed with the small golf bag that I used growing up, lightweight black shorts, and a gold Bruins polo trying the channel the energy from their record victory the night before, I was ready to give it my best.

My tee shot on 10 looked promising but landed in the creek separating the fairways, and I ended up with a triple-bogey. Not only did I hit into the second bunker of the day on 11, I hit above the hole, which was cut on top of the front slope, and naturally I proceeded to putt off the front. I reached the one-hour mark at hole 12, not sure if this entire thing was even worth it.

But when I was feeling lowest, I hit my best shot of the day on the 13th, an absolutely flushed shot down the middle of the fairway, setting up a simple two-putt bogey. I followed that up with a par on the short par-5 14th. I guess a second wind exists in golf too.

By the time I got to 17, my watch displayed 1:20, and immediately I thought 18 holes under 90 minutes has a nice ring to it. Another well-struck drive got me to the par-5, 18th with about 5 minutes to spare. Facing me was a forced carry into a dogleg left (my two worst nightmares). I took some extra time said some words of encouragement and *whack* a solid 7-iron shot that settled smack dab in the middle of the fairway. I was laying 3 looking straight uphill into the green. Time was running out and with my 52, I made good contact but sent it sailing over the green and into my third and final bunker of the day. This was going to cost me.

My feet splashed into the damp grass as I ran up the hill with just my putter and my sand wedge (55) in hand. No time to check the watch. I set my feet quickly, took a half swing and got it the ball to rest within 10 feet of the hole. Two putts later the ball dropped, and my head shot down to my wrist.

When it comes to hitting the ball farther, a lot of golfers realize that technique is important. In recent years, the larger golfing public is also beginning to recognize the importance of getting custom fit for their driver in order to maximize driving distance and their overall average golf swing speed.

As you can see, striking the ball consistently solid will help get you more distance out of your club head speed and improve your driving efficiency. If the average amateur had the same 2.61 yards/mph driving efficiency as the average PGA TOUR player, he would average 245 yards/drive instead of only 214 yards/drive.

In 2023, the median player on the DP World Tour averaged 301.08 off the tee. If we assume that they have the same efficiency of PGA TOUR players at 2.62 yards/drive, that would put their 2022 average swing speed at 114.92. That increase from 111 to 115 correlates similarly to the increase that the PGA TOUR made over the same time period since 2008.

Since we have to make some guesses about LPGA Tour swing speed data, here is what LPGA Tour numbers might look like assuming both the 2011 reported Trackman efficiency of 2.66 yards/mph versus 2.73 yard/mph, which assumes no increase in club head speed but factoring in the increased 2023 tour driving distance mean of 256.75 yards/drive.

As far as I know, Sam Attanasio has the current ball speed training swing at 243.0 mph, which would necessitate at least 162 mph of club head speed. Seb Waddell has a training swing on a Trackman at 169.6 mph swing speed.

EyeLine Golf has been one of the golf training aid space leaders for years, so I was excited to try perhaps their most recognizable product. This review will share my experience, best practices, and who I think the Speed Trap 2.0 might be appropriate for.

The Speed Trap 2.0 is a swing path trainer, providing instant feedback if your swing is too far out-to-in or in-to-out. Additionally, it helps with your low-point control by letting you know if you are hitting behind the ball.

The training starts with the baseplate, which has a channel cut out from the front-center. If your swing would be behind the ball at impact or too far to the heel or toe side, the club will strike the baseplate.

Next, the slanted rods are attached to the baseplate with velcro. Depending on what the golfer is working on, they can use two or four rods and have the slant pointed in different directions. If the swing path is too far offline, the club will strike one of the rods.

Like many golfers who get the Speed Trap 2.0, I immediately attached all the rods and tried to swing away. I stepped up to a practice ball with my backyard net, took an easy swing, and WHAM! I nearly jumped out of my socks with the noise of my eight iron smacking the baseplate. I checked the club, the training aid, and myself for any damage and was happy to find everything still in one piece.
