When (if?) I feel I'm ready for speed training, I'm still leaning toward trying the Golf Slingshot, first. Partially due to the cost (±$200 as opposed to ±$350), but also due to its allegedly helping with timing.

This was the post from January.Hopefully you end up feeling the same yourself. Here is why I think that if people care:
1) # of sticks needed - to me the smaller # the better.
Superspeed - 3 to 4 (if you get the C part of the system)
Rypstick - 1
Stack - 1
Tie for 1st with stack/rypstick
2) Protocols
After the foundation, Stack starts to personalize the workouts for the areas you need help with (lead arm, trail arm, etc) where as Superspeed is 1 protocol for all (different protocols as you progress, but the same for whoever is doing them) and I believe rypstick is the same (please correct me if I am wrong here)
Stack wins
3) Recording results
With the app, I can just speak my results and they are recorded for me. Like all tech, there is some hiccups now and then, but it works pretty dang well. Superspeed I had a notebook and a pencil keeping track of things, but besides 3 (sometimes 4) sticks, swing speed radar I also had to take a pencil/paper to write things down. Think Rypstick would be the same as Superspeed.
Stack wins
4) Cost
Rypstick comes in at $189 ($273 if you add their radar)
Superspeed comes in at $199 ($379 if you add their radar/launch monitor)
Stack comes in at $349 (no bundle pricing for a radar, so add roughly $100 to track speed)
I would put the winners pretty clearly in that order, although from what I have seen/heard on the launch monitor/radar from Superspeed the bundle might not be bad.
So Stack costs the most, but I found it to be easier to manage than superspeed and found results faster than superspeed. But that is one person, other people definitely could have had similar results or the exact opposite.

Both systems are fantastic. I use stack, all of my HS golfers use SS. They’re both truly excellent.This was the post from January.
long time user of Super Speed I found when the "C" came out not only was it a different feel I also like that it is an every third workout changeup from the regular workout. Do your High School kids use the "C'?Both systems are fantastic. I use stack, all of my HS golfers use SS. They’re both truly excellent.
@Desmond wanted to ask if you’ve had any more revelations in regards to the lead arm speed being more as I’ve looked through most of the baselines through here and most have been trail dominant but yours and since mine was considerably different thought I’d ask.I started low to build up that potential
My left hand has greater speed than the right. I think that's an issue. I am a natural left hander that plays righty and I've sped up the right arm over the last year but it needs mo' speed. Well, everything needs more speed.
Next session in 2 days.
Starting "the Foundation."
The PRGR monitor works well as does the Stack App.

You are in serious improvement mode right now! Love it.Well, time to stop being lazy. I’m going to re-do my benchmarks to get ready and dive back into this again, especially since my physical swing has improved as much as it has the past 6 or so months.
Playing the best golf of my life right now, but, I want to push it and see just what I can get to. We shall see.You are in serious improvement mode right now! Love it.
Love it. I want to get on this train too..Playing the best golf of my life right now, but, I want to push it and see just what I can get to. We shall see.
I went on a vacation and got busy, then my ballstriking was really good so I wasn't motivated to pick it back up . Thinking I'll start again in the next month or so once our season is over here.Hows everybody doing on the stack system.....I think I may have hit my second set of gains finally, it has been 11 months. It does seem accurate that we pick up a set of gains in the beginning and then have to struggle 6-9 months for another set of gains.......hahaha im dreading to find out how long it will take to reach the third set of gains !
