![]() ![]() The counterweight ball was loose, not fully screwed down. The ferrule, I guess you'd call it, at the joining of the two shaft sections was loose it needs a bit of glue to hold it in place.Ģ. ![]() almost like an extra wrap or two of tape underneath a standard grip (actually a welcome plus for these old fingers!).ġ. It also uses a slightly different style wrap grip on it (possibly an update to all OW products?) with slightly wider spacing between the wraps and small dimples for texture the material feels more synthetic vs the more rubbery grip on the original Trainer plus the grip on the LightSpeed is slightly larger around. Where they differ includes - LightSpeed has a smaller, lighter head uses a longer length of the thinner profile/more flexible shaft material and has a slightly larger/slightly heavier counterweight ball. same construction with an orange ball head, flexible shaft, counterweight ball on the butt end of the grip, etc. If you're familiar with an OW Trainer then you'll already be familiar with its slightly shorter, and of course much lighter, brother LightSpeed - eg. I don't plan on measuring my swing speed on an LM, now nor after a period of training my results. Additionally, being 64 now I'm hoping that with regular use it'll help me to maintain a decent clubhead speed over time. It would be nice to add, if I can get there, another 10% / 20 yards to my tee shots with my 3W. *while still swinging in control and making solid contact* (and, hopefully ha ha, towards my on-course targets). However - I'm not looking for outright speed but rather a little more let's call it "playable" clubhead speed with my woods, hybrids, irons. Obviously I hope to improve my clubhead speed - to improve both the distances I can reach off the tee and that I can hit a second shot, and also to increase the distance from where I can comfortably attempt an approach shot. I get close to 200 yd carry when I catch it right). Note: I have not used any SuperSpeed trainer and this mini-review makes no effort to compare/contrast them.ĭon't know my driver swing speed but based on charts I've seen online my current 3-wood (that I use off the tee most often tho technically it could be a 4W, I guess, at 17* loft?) clubhead speed should be hi 80s / close to 90 mph (ie. I'd been looking at SuperSpeed's "C" trainer, but then considered that since I'm already using - and am comfortable with - two OW training aids then their model of speed trainer may be a better fit for me. Recently I saw an ad for OW's new "LightSpeed" speed (of course!) trainer. I still use both of these frequently, and definitely feel that I'm still gaining benefit from both of them. and it quickly became one of my favorite swing training aids (and I've tried a LOT of different ones over the years) in fact, I liked it so much I added the OW "Compact" trainer shortly thereafter (basically a shorter version intended to simulate an iron swing). Orange Whip LightSpeed - Initial Quick Take.Ībout two or so years I jumped aboard the Orange Whip "train" (lol). ![]()
