The SuperSpeed Force Board Pro allows players to train their balance and improve their swing in a variety of ways. Best for serious, committed players. Scalable difficulty makes it useful for all handicap levels.
Introduction
Close your eyes and imagine the driver swing of Rory McIlroy. Despite swinging his driver well over 120 MPH, he never looks off balance or out of control. Now think of your 30 handicap buddy who hits it nowhere. Does his finish look picture perfect, or is he flailing and stumbling?
The folks at SuperSpeed know that it isn’t a coincidence that fast, skilled drivers look balanced, athletic, and under control, while poor drivers…don’t. To help more golfers develop that body awareness, they’ve developed the SuperSpeed Force Board Pro. I tested one to see how much this trainer can help a recreational player look more like a pro on the tee.
Set Up & Ease of Use
When you unbox the SuperSpeed Force Board Pro, you’ll find the board, three pairs of attachments, eight yellow pegs, and a carrying bag. Notably, there are no printed instructions: you need to download the SuperSpeed App to get the training protocols. Level 1 Protocols are included with your purchase, but you need the premium app subscription to get full access (more details on this later).
Setting up the Force Board Pro is very easy. Each attachment has a rubber nub that fits securely into the holes on the board. The SuperSpeed App is also reasonably easy to use. When you create your profile, you input which SuperSpeed products you have, and the app puts those training protocols at the top of the Training tab. Once you select a training plan, you’re walked through it move by move with written explanations and videos.
Effectiveness
I think it’s important to start with a discussion of what the SuperSpeed Force Board Pro is designed for. Unlike the SuperSpeed training clubs [review HERE], the Force Board Pro isn’t really meant to give you big, “immediate” gains in club head speed; it’s meant to allow your body to swing faster. Our bodies are self-limiting because they don’t want us to hurt ourselves. For example, you may have the strength to swing the club 100 MPH, but you don’t have the balance or coordination, so your body limits you to 90 MPH.
The Force Board Pro is meant to help you develop the balance, body awareness, and coordination to maximize your speed. It can also teach you to use the ground more effectively, which is a potential source of big, short term speed gains.
There are two types of workouts for the Force Board Pro: balance exercise and golf swings. The balance workouts are quick and fun. Set the board to your chosen difficulty level and run through three or four movements. You’ll be done in ten minutes or less, and you can do them anywhere. As with any type of exercise, you aren’t going to see huge changes overnight, but you will see improvement with consistent effort. There are four levels of protocols, so you get a nice amount of variety.
The golf swing exercises require a bit more set up and are geared more toward learning, enhancing awareness, and improving your swing. There are four protocols: Lateral Force, Torque, Vertical Force, and Ground Force Training. Each one has a video that walks you through different board set ups and exercises. If you’re that player who is consistently unbalanced after a swing or if you feel like you have a ton of latent speed, these are the videos for you. These exercises are best done in a place where you can make a full swing, but you can do them with a shortened club, too.
Overall, I think the SuperSpeed Force Board Pro offers a unique combination of exercise and learning. This is an excellent complement or precursor to SuperSpeed training. Regardless of your fitness level, swing speed, or handicap, you’ll find things in this program that will challenge and teach you.
Longevity
As I’ve said about many fitness or speed trainers, the SuperSpeed Force Board Pro is not something you’re ever going to outgrow. Just as no one outgrows going to the gym, you’ll never be done working on your balance and coordination. The Force Board Pro takes that even further because every exercise can be scaled. Using the red attachments makes every exercise fairly easy. Using a single grey oval will challenge anyone who doesn’t work for Cirque du Soleil. Additionally, you can use the Force Board Pro just about anywhere, and the workouts are quick.
The longevity negatives are that there’s nothing fun or gamified about using the SuperSpeed Force Board Pro. There are leaderboards in the app that can help you stay motivated, but you need to be serious about your golf and fitness to use this regularly.
Value
The SuperSpeed Force Board Pro retails for $180 HERE. This is a bit above average in terms of price, and it’s not the first tool I’d recommend for speed training [that would be the SuperSpeed training clubs HERE]. I think that for a coach, this is a no-brainer to buy. The other target customer is the very serious player.
Also, to get the most out of the Force Board Pro, you will need the SuperSpeed App. The Premium membership is $10/month or $100/year. This unlocks all of the training protocols, the physical assessment, and much more. If you’re going to invest in the Force Board Pro, you need to have the Premium version of the app for at least a short time to learn all its functionality.
Conclusion
A complete speed training regimen needs to include balance, coordination, and golf swing improvements, and all of those elements are unlocked with the SuperSpeed Force Board Pro. If you’re serious about fully maximizing your potential on the course, this is a worthy addition to your practice set up.
