There isn’t a single golfer in the world who would turn down a few extra yards from the tee, but most are unaware of how to gain more clubhead speed in an efficient way.
A lot of amateur golfers have likely heard the following at some point in their quest for better ball striking - ‘You’re losing lag’, ‘You’re casting the club’, or 'You’re releasing too early’. Very few are then given a training aid that will not only naturally improve their ball striking but help pick up clubhead speed. That is exactly why the GForce Speed Trainer (£119/$159) was designed.

When you're looking for clubhead speed and longer drives, traditional advice from coaches and social media has always been to swing harder and jump into overspeed training programs that demand explosive, maximum-effort swings and eventually take a toll on your body.
But the new GForce Speed Trainer has been created to show that the secret to effortless speed doesn't come from swinging out of your shoes. This clever training aid teaches the golfer to stop chasing swing speed the wrong way and start training the conditions that naturally create it.
The Real Reason For A Lack Of Speed
A lot of golfers lose speed, not because they don’t have the body to create it, but because the club releases too early in transition. An early release not only results in a lack of power but also weak, inconsistent strikes. The lack of resistance through the transition at the top of the backswing and the first half of the downswing is a major reason for a lack of power.
So what exactly is resistance? As your club changes direction from the backswing into the downswing, the club's momentum and weight naturally resist that change of direction. This loads the shaft, and that’s when resistance is created.

The GForce speed trainer boasts the same flexible shaft found in the rest of the brand’s training aids, with a progressive three-weight system on the end to help you feel resistance and train the body to move at different speeds. The resistance is most notable and easy to feel when all three weights are on the shaft.
To maintain this resistance, there needs to be a continuous pulling motion through the hands and arms. When you maintain this pull, your body naturally responds by continuing to turn and pushing against the ground to support and amplify the movement. This creates ground reaction forces which, when used in the right sequence, help propel speed to the clubhead.
When you lose that feeling of resistance, the structure of your swing collapses, the club releases early, and you are forced to manipulate your body positions to make contact.
The Secret Behind The GForce Speed Trainer
Created by PGA Professional and GForce Golf Founder Stuart Small, this is not just another traditional speed trainer. This is not just a case of overloading and overspeed training, where swing mechanics fly out of the window. The GForce swing speed trainer helps you time everything up in the swing and feel that resistance and load, needed to create effortless power.
It achieves this through two distinct features.

The GForce Super Flexible Shaft:
Unlike standard driver shafts or traditional speed trainers, this ultra-flexible shaft magnifies the feeling of the shaft loading and resistance. It provides immediate feedback on where the head of the club is, when you’re keeping resistance, and if and when you lose it.
The Progressive Three-Weight System:
Instead of going lighter to swing faster, the GForce system uses heavier weights to exaggerate the feeling of resistance through transition. Weights can be removed in order to train yourself to swing faster while still maintaining the load in the shaft and completing the 25 swing speed system.
The 25 Swing Speed System
While a lot of other speed training platforms have you performing crazy swings that you would never perform with an actual golf club. With the GForce 25 Swing Speed System, you make five swings with the single weight, five with two of the weights, and five with all three weights attached. As the weight increases, you experience a deeper feeling of shaft loading and resistance through transition.
Once completing these swings working up, you then work your way back down with five swings at each weight from heaviest to lightest.
The removable weight system helps you train the patterns and moving your body at different speeds.

Finally, you pick up your own driver, and you’ll notice how suddenly your club feels lighter, faster, and easier to accelerate. Because your body and brain have just learned to recognise and retain the feeling of resistance, you naturally transfer that feeling directly into your real swing, despite not having that extra weight on the end of a flexible shaft. You aren't consciously swinging harder, but simply transferring energy more efficiently.
Speed Without The Strain
For golfers who have plateaued with traditional overspeed methods, or those concerned about the physical toll of explosive training, the GForce Speed Trainer offers a safer, smarter path where you’re training to move the club more efficiently with what you already have, rather than breaking your body swing faster.
Because it focuses on progressive, controlled resistance rather than maximum exertion, it develops feel and awareness without the injury risk of swinging at 100% effort repeatedly. It is a highly repeatable, lower-exertion approach that is accessible to all golfers.

Experience The Difference
Pick up the GForce Speed Trainer, and you will immediately notice that it teaches you to feel the swing in a completely different way that both improves your movement patterns while picking up power and speed. Train the conditions that create speed, create resistance, and watch as effortless speed, greater distance, and improved control naturally follow.
The GForce Speed Trainer is available now. Experience a new way to train for speed, backed by a 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee. Try it for 60 days, and if you aren't completely satisfied, simply return it for a refund.
