I'd be interested to hear what you guys think of the information in the article above.

I bought a Speedchain last winter and have not done anything with it yet. I am considering adding it my routine this winter and seeing what kind of speed gains I can make by next Spring.

Well.... I just bought one, still isn't delivered. But maybe we can see how we both do. I'll let you know when it's here and we can compare notes.

Is there only one place to get them...they seem pricey.

The chains do seem pricey but go to a Home Depot and check the cost of chain. Chain is expensive.

Skipper . . . Watched the video. Can you give us the LBG description of what this bad boy can do for our motion?

Can that thing lead to overloading?

Can you lock this thread so Mike O doesn't see that thing?

What are the merits of this training aid over the speedstik?

Thanks for the link. Looks dangerous, sounds very noisy. I'll just work on zone 2 alignments a little more instead. Safety first.

I don't think its that dangerous. Not much more dangerous or nosier than say using a Speed Stik or swinging a club.
When I was down at the Swamp, Yoda showed me how to use the the Speed Chain and it does teach you a lot. For example I have a habit of dragging the club way inside on the backswing but do that with the chain and you end up hitting youself with it and on the way through you can't whip it too much from the inside either as again you will end up hitting yourself.
For me it taught me how to really use my pivot (for a swinger the pivot is where all the power comes from) and I could really feel that I could trace that planeline really well. On the way through impact and to follow through I could really feel that I was 'dragging a wet mop' and I could sense the lag pressure in my number 3 pressure point.

Just wear your leather mask for protection.

Has anyone used this for an extended period of time and noticed a difference?
