The SuperSpeed Speed Sticks Pro are the next generation of golf’s favorite speed training tool. Adjustable weighting adds versatility. Five levels of protocols keep training interesting and challenging. A proven way to get faster and longer.
Introduction
Launched about a decade ago, the original SuperSpeed training system brought speed training to the golf masses. Since then, SuperSpeed has birthed numerous imitators, but no other system is seen in the bags of as many Tour pros.
New for 2025 is the long awaited “sequel” – the SuperSpeed Speed Sticks Pro. This new set of training tools is an grip-to-tip upgrade that includes added levels of versatility and portability. I tested a set to see if you should consider making the switch.
Set Up & Ease of Use
The SuperSpeed Speed Sticks Pro don’t require any set up – pick them up and swing them fast. Like the Force Board Pro [review HERE], the Speed Stick Pro don’t come with any written instruction – you need to find the training protocols in the SuperSpeed App. The app is easy to use, and the Level 1 Protocols are included with your purchase. You need the premium app subscription to get access to more advanced protocols (more details on this later).
There is a weight kit included with the Speed Sticks Pro. I’ll discuss the function of this below, but I will note here that this system is very easy to use. The wrench is included, and the weights screw in and out without hassle. Changing the weights does take a minute because of the long threads, but that’s a safety feature – you wouldn’t want a 30 gram weight being flung from your training club at 100 MPH.
Effectiveness
At core, the SuperSpeed Speed Sticks Pro are not fundamentally different than the original training system [review HERE]. There are three training clubs of different weights, and you swing them according to the provided protocols to gain club head speed. Thousands of golfers of every age, gender, and ability level can tell you that the system works.
With that out of the way, let’s talk about what makes the Speed Sticks Pro different. Most importantly, they have what SuperSpeed calls the Inertia Matching System – adjustable weighting. The set comes with ten total weight plugs – 20 grams (3), 30 grams (3), 40 grams (3), and 80 grams (1). This allows you to personalize your training clubs based on the chart above or an assessment in the SuperSpeed app.
The other benefit of the Inertia Matching System is that it allows you to train with just one training club. SuperSpeed refers to this as the “Integrated Travel Version.” By using the blue club without a weight, with your standard weight, and with the 80 gram weight, you can simulate having all three training clubs. This is a nice feature for those that want to have their SuperSpeed with them at all times or those trying to keep their luggage under the 50 pound limit.
The weighting is not the only change to the SuperSpeed Speed Sticks Pro. They’ve made the “heads” more aerodynamic with a teardrop shape and three “air flow modulators” on the sides. The new grips are larger and less tapered with alternating sections of texture. I think the soft feel of these grips is great, and SuperSpeed claims that the larger grips will allow players to more effectively activate the muscles in their hands and forearms. The grips can be replaced if you don’t like them or want something smaller.
The final change is the new shaft. SuperSpeed training clubs have always had very stiff shafts, but the new versions are more thoughtfully tuned. The Load Zone near the grip is very stiff to encourage an aggressive loading of the shaft. Near the tip, there’s a softer Torque Zone which SuperSpeed says “promotes more optimal timing of club head release”. I don’t know that this change will fix your release, but the new shaft makes the training club feel more like a normal club rather than a piece of rebar with a dumbbell on the end.
Longevity
In my original review, I stated that longevity was the one weakness of SuperSpeed. The company has done a lot to shore that up with the SuperSpeed Speed Sticks Pro. The SuperSpeed App has five levels of Overspeed training, so you get more variety in your workouts. There are also notifications and badges which gamify the training and help you to stay on track.
With all that said, this is still a workout program. You will see “beginner gains” very quickly, but then your growth will slow down. SuperSpeed training also requires enough room to swing a driver at 100%. I think that SuperSpeed Golf has built a tremendous system, but you need to be committed to it if you want it to work.
Value
The SuperSpeed Speed Sticks Pro retail for $199. Please support Plugged In Golf and buy HERE. Especially with the new additions, I think it’s a great buy for anyone looking to add club head speed and play better golf.
To get the most out of your SuperSpeed Speed Sticks Pro, you will need the SuperSpeed App. The Premium membership is $10/month or $100/year. This unlocks all five levels of the training protocols, the physical assessment, and much more. Training with just Level One Protocols will work, but I think the added variety makes the Premium membership worthwhile.
Conclusion
SuperSpeed Golf took their time coming up with a sequel to their blockbuster training system, and I’m glad they did. The SuperSpeed Speed Sticks Pro are an improvement on the original system in every way, but they maintain the core principles that have helped thousands of golfers get faster. If you want to hit it longer with every club in your bag, start SuperSpeed training today.

Very informative review. But I guess it’s a sign of the times that once you buy something, you never finish paying for it. Similar to w/ many products, when you bit it, you have the “basic” version. But to get the full a& ongoing benefit, you need to download the app & pay a monthly subscription service.
Mike,
Thank you. And yes, I agree, I hate the fact that we never feel like we fully own things or are done paying.
Best,
Matt
