With the Rypstick Training App you’ll start to HIT LONGER DRIVES and SHOOT LOWER SCORES! SET YOUR BASELINE The Rypstick Training App will prompt you through a baseline test to determine your starting swing speed and will predict your carry and total, distance based on your clubhead speed. Setting your initial baseline is important to track your progress while training with the Rypstick and Training App. RYPSTICK TRAINING PROTOCOLS The Rypstick Training Protocols, designed by PGA Teacher of the Year, Dr. Luke Benoit, will transform your swing speed, helping you pick up MAJOR distance. The Rypstick is versatile unlike any other training aid, with a full-length shaft, 8 weight combinations, and an auditory swishing sound that helps you train your release point precisely where you need it. By training with the Rypstick for just 15 minutes, 3x per week, you can pick up 15-25 yards added to your driving distance. Every MPH of added clubhead speed, you’ll gain 3 yards of extra distance! The Rypstick Training App makes following the exercises easy and attainable. SWING FIX VIDEOS The Rypstick Team believes it’s important to not only hit the ball farther, but straighter as well.
