Used by golfers worldwide, gaining speed and distance has never been so easy. “Immediate results. My buddies have all commented I am hitting it farther on the course. I was skeptical at first but after a couple of weeks / training only a couple of times per week I could feel a noticeable difference in my swing speed. It works. I gained 8mph in just 4 weeks. The instructional video is easy to follow too.” – Evans, 40 year old avid golfer “Honestly I’m impressed. The way you can feel your own shaft load and unload and keeping things consistent I think is huge! You guys hit the nail on the head - The Speed Toad is freaking legit.” – Hunter, Professional Long Driver “Holy. Speed. I didn’t realize how effective the Speed Toad really is. It totally makes sense to train with actual equipment that you use day in and day out on the course. No such gimmick here. Pure speed and great feedback. I picked up 5 mph of club speed within 5 weeks and ball speed is back to what my college days were.” – Travis, Professional Golfer
