Just wanted to post this and let you all know a little bit more about these. My first range session started kinda later than I wanted. I started with my 6...

I asked Martin Borgemeier a question on X about swinging left handed and he said he did not. He did not elaborate at all but I was surprised at his answer.

Walterjn

colej interesting. I know that the super speed swing stick program does recommend doing that. I was following their system when I made my own redneck version. It is awkward to do off hand swings at first, it does get better after a bit.

KCee

Walterjn I made my own SuperSpeed knockoff set and use it sporadically. It did seem to help me, but I'm not sure swinging lefty contributed.

It's probably good for muscle imbalance if you don't exercise at all other than golf I suppose, but no way I am swinging lefty while playing....bad things would happen. I actually can do some things lefty, but swinging a golf club is NOT one of them lol.

KCee Funny part is when I swing lefty people think I'm a lefty. I swing the same.

KCee

Typhoon Yeah but you're some sort of golf freak and I hate you for that

I had my right hand in a cast for 7 months not including PT after. No problem writing or using a computer lefty. Brushing my teeth lefty was really awkward. Swinging even a training club lefty feels absolutely horrible. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad though. People always say my swing looks really nice, but I can easily shoot 97 so looks are not everything.

Typhoon

KCee Hahaha... I think my lefty swing has no bad habits. I can hit a ball ok lefty too.

Walterjn

Typhoon I've tried that, I need more practice... a couple buddies said my left hand swing looked good, had some decent speed, I just couldn't hit the ball that well..

Walterjn

Well, after my day, I'll put that in the appropriate thread.
I pulled out my swing speed training for a quick session.
My 80% speed starting(one pineapple) off was mid 80s.. my 90% starting speed was low 90s. 100% starting speed was just over 100.
With both pineapples it dropped another 10 mph, as expected. My 1st swing ramping down was 113. My 1st swing with the bare shaft was 133, as was my 2nd. I didn't see a swing speed below 120 with just the bare shaft. My final bare shaft swing hit 138. Something is working here.... and I'm liking it...
Pics, just because...

Walterjn I'm open to any, and all comments

Too long, didn't read it. Hope it works for ya Walter. You certainly seem dedicated.👍

Walterjn

sdandrea1 just for you; TL,DR.
Swing speed is getting faster quickly.

Walter, when you get to Steve’s age you don’t buy green bananas either.

Had a quick session today, in between rain showers... outside temp was under 60, so it wasn't as warm as Wednesday. I started off well, 80% speeds 1st set were mid 80s. 2nd was low 80s. 90% speeds 1st ser were upper 90s. Then I went to get a quick drink, and when I went back at it my speeds were low. 90% 2nd set speeds were equal to my 80% 2nd set.
I felt like I was giving it my all, yet speeds weren't equal to my last session, they were slow.
My top speed bare shaft was 121, nothing faster... most were sitting around 113-115...
A little disappointing, yet I guess I should expect that to happen, exercise is full of ups and downs. It's never all gains, and no losses... 2 steps forward, one back...

@sdandrea1 😉 TL;DR started good, ended slower than I expected...

Walterjn Gotta love Geezer speak, next time use large font🙃

Walterjn

Bravopilot not sure if i can add larger text, i can BOLD it through..

So Walter, you’re swinging a bare shaft, just the grip, nothing on the other end?

Walterjn

Typhoon not a true bare shaft to that extent.
This shaft does have an adapter, screw, 2 steel washers, one plastic washer, one rubber washer, and a zip tie. The plastic washer, rubber and zip tie all came with the aeroswing. Those 3 items weigh in at 20 grams. Adapter, screw, ferrule, and washers weigh in at about 25 grams. So 45 grams more than a true bare shaft. Shaft is also about 45.5" long.
By bare shaft I'm referring more to lack of wind resistance devices. It's easier and faster for me to just pull both, instead of walking over and grabbing a true bare shaft. Hey, I'm lazy... 😁😉. Here the tip end ,so you can see what I'm trying to describe. Screw holds both steel washers, plastic washer and gives a solid base for the rubber washer. The rubber washer has the zip tie around it to keep it from moving on the adapter.

Walterjn Nice Walter, also serves to help with the riff raff while hauling horse around God's green acres.😎

Typhoon

Walterjn Good, I was hoping you weren’t swinging a shaft with no weight on the end.

I have a “Speed Whoosh” as well that I swing along with my Superspeed ones

Walterjn

Bravopilot nope, this assembly stays at home... I do have a couple of old worn out clubs in the truck that can be used as such to keep riff raff away.
