What it measures
- With a ball: Club Speed, Ball Speed, Smash Factor, Carry Distance, and Total Distance — the five core metrics for understanding ball striking quality and distance.
- Without a ball: Club Speed only — which makes it the natural pairing for overspeed training sessions where you want to track speed gains between sets without hitting balls every time.
Why it works well as a practice tool
The PRGR's strength is in its simplicity. The built-in LCD display gives you the read-out immediately — no phone, no Bluetooth pairing, no app loading time. On the range or in a training bay, that frictionless feedback loop keeps practice moving. It is not a tool for detailed shot shape analysis or spin profiling. It is a tool for knowing your number.
Paired with the SuperSpeed Golf Speed Sticks Pro, the PRGR closes the feedback loop that makes overspeed training measurable: you run a training set, hit a ball, and the PRGR tells you whether the session moved the needle. The Force Board Pro + Speed Sticks Pro + PRGR combination is a complete speed training setup for home or range use.
