138: Fulfilling the Golfer’s Need for Speed with SuperSpeed Golf

Today I am very excited to announce our guests, Kyle and Mike from SuperSpeed Golf. We first had them on the show for episode 64 to talk about the benefits of “overspeed training,” and to this day that is still the #1 downloaded episode on the 18Strong Podcast!

For those who don’t know, SuperSpeed Golf is a golf training system aimed at improving the speed and efficiency of a player’s swing. The method is scientifically proven and tested and is one of the most widely used training methods for golfers across all skill levels.

SuperSpeed works with many of the best players in the world and amateurs of all skill levels. They offer many services including comprehensive on-going coaching, personalized game assessment and program development, distance learning, corporate experiences, and many more customizable programs. They have also appeared for speaking opportunities at many conferences, seminars, and events.

This is a super valuable episode with a lot of actionable takeaways. Make sure you stick around until the end, as the guys have some cool gifts for you guys.
