GForce Golf has released the GForce Speed Trainer, a training aid built around a flexible shaft and a removable three-weight system designed to help golfers feel and retain clubhead speed without maximum-effort overspeed swings.
What does the GForce Speed Trainer do?
The aid targets an early release in the downswing, where the club loses the resistance, or "loading," that the brand says generates speed and consistent strikes. GForce Golf says the trainer's flexible shaft exaggerates the feeling of that loading and resistance through the transition, giving golfers immediate feedback on when they hold it and when they lose it.
Where standard overspeed trainers typically go lighter to encourage faster swings, GForce's system instead adds weight to the end of the shaft to exaggerate the resistance feeling, according to the brand. The three weights can be removed individually as a golfer progresses.
How does the training drill work?
GForce Golf's recommended drill has golfers make five swings with a single weight attached, five with two weights, and five with all three, before reversing the sequence back down to the lightest setting. The brand says golfers should then notice their own driver feels lighter and faster to swing by comparison.
The pitch is speed built through timing and resistance, not through swinging harder.
Who created the GForce Speed Trainer?
The device was designed by Stuart Small, a PGA professional and the founder of GForce Golf, whose training aids share the same flexible-shaft design. The Speed Trainer is available now for £119/$159 and comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee.
