THE NAME OF TODAY'S GAME IS POWER

Today’s tennis is all about power. And the source of that power is racket speed.

Before today, tennis experts would have told you that the only way to increase your racket speed — and therefore increase the speed of your serves, forehands and backhands — is by “optimizing” your stroke technique and by increasing your physical strength by training off-court.

The reality is that even if you had “perfect technique”, most of you still wouldn’t be able to match the 130 MPH serves and 100 MPH forehands and backhands of the top players.

Why?

CONVENTIONAL OFF-COURT TRAINING EXERCISES MAKE YOU SWING SLOWER — NOT FASTER

Because all of the strength training you do in the gym is making your swing muscles slower, not faster. In order to hit a 100 MPH serve, you have to accelerate your racket to contact in about 1/10 of one second…

By contrast, most conventional conditioning exercises typically take 1 or 2 seconds to execute.

Do the math! That’s 10 to 20 TIMES SLOWER than accelerating your racket to contact. You’re training your muscles to move 10 to 20 times SLOWER than the actual movement — serving or hitting groundstrokes — whose speed you’re trying to INCREASE.

Train slow to make your racket faster? Impossible!

By definition, all conventional training (weights, medicine balls, resistance cords or bands, etc.) is too slow to help you train your body to accelerate your racket to contact in 1/10 of one second.

If conventional training makes you slower, then what kind of training exercise could you do to increase your racket speed?

THE 4 LAWS OF COMPLEX SPEED TRAINING

While sports scientists and conditioning experts have developed very effective training exercises and programs to increase linear speed — i.e. sprinting in a straight or diagonal line, vertical jumps, long jumps, etc. — no one has been able to develop effective methods to help athletes increase the speeds at which they can execute complex, multi-joint, multi-plane movements — such as throwing, kicking, paddling or swinging bats, clubs or rackets (versus straight-ahead movements such as sprinting and vertical jumps) — ESPECIALLY in highly trained, high level athletes.

The main reason why increasing the speeds of complex athletic movements has been so challenging is that no existing conditioning methods are both specific enough and (literally) fast enough to stimulate the body to perform at increased speeds while working against high resistance levels.

According to the physiological principles the body uses to generate “complex” speed, the most direct and most effective method to increase racket speed (or any complex athletic movement like bat speed, etc.) must integrate the following 4 elements.

1. Training the Exact Movement Pattern
In other words, you want to train stroke muscles, not bench press muscles. Training exercises must recruit the exact nerve pathways and muscles involved in a given movement.

2. Training at High Contraction Speeds
Training exercises must be executed at “event speeds” — meaning that the reps for any racket speed training exercise would be performed in only 1/10 of one second — or faster. You would tear your pecs or triceps trying to perform the bench press at this speed.

3. Triggering Exact Contraction Type
Again, you want to train the muscles that contract during your serve or forehand, and not those specific to the bench press. Training exercises must trigger the Strength-Shorten Cycle (SSC) that powers every complex athletic movement and directly stimulates the exact type of muscle contraction used to produce the movement.

4. Overloading Contraction Force
“Overloading” trains your muscles to produce more force to transfer to the ball at contact. Training exercises must deliver higher resistance (than those experienced during the actual event) to stimulate increased force production by the muscles producing the movement.

SpeedChains, LLC has created the solution to this long-standing challenge in athletic conditioning in the form of a groundbreaking speed training device called:

The SPEEDCHAIN™

SPEEDCHAIN™ TRAINING FULFILLS ALL 4 COMPLEX SPEED TRAINING LAWS

How does the SpeedChain™ increase the speed of complex movements such as swinging a tennis racket?

The SpeedChain™ works because it delivers on all 4 required training elements of complex speed development. It is the only speed training device that possesses the dynamic, variable resistance required to satisfy all 4 laws that will enable you to directly increase your racket speed.

Training with the SpeedChain™ achieves:

1. Stimulation of the exact movement pattern;
   
   
2. Execution of training exercises at high contraction speeds;
   
   
3. Activation of the Stretch-Shorten Cycle (SSC); and
   
   
4. Direct stimulation of the exact muscle fiber types of the movement while overloading the contraction forces.

Here’s how the SpeedChain™ stacks up against common tennis training devices:

The SpeedChain™ possesses resistance that is both light enough to enable you to first accelerate to high movement speeds, and then heavy enough at the release point or impact point to stimulate high force production by the muscles.

The result? Higher racket speeds and more power (high force at high speed!) for your serves, forehands and backhands.

PROVEN AND TESTED BY TOP-RANKED JUNIOR AND COLLEGIATE PLAYERS

We have seen remarkable results in tennis players who have trained with the SpeedChain™.

In a 10 week pilot study with top-ranked, competitive junior tennis players, we observed these remarkable results:

• After the very first SpeedChain™ workout, the players increased their serve and groundstroke speeds between 5 to 8 MPH
  
  
• After one month of SpeedChain™ training, they increased their serve and groundstroke speeds around 20 MPH
  
  
• At the end of the 10-week study, both players had increased their serve and groundstroke speeds up to 30 MPH

Have you ever heard about any training program that has PROVEN that it can increase your serve and groundstroke speeds in a matter of a few short weeks?

After the great success of this pilot study, we approached top US collegiate tennis teams to serve as early adopters of our training program to further prove the effectiveness of the training program.

The results achieved by the UCLA men’s tennis team (ranked #8 in NCAA Division 1) and the Boise State Men’s tennis team (ranked #25 in NCAA Division 1)  were virtually identical to the remarkable results of the pilot study. For example, collegiate players were able to increase the speed of their fastest serves over 15 MPH after just 8 WORKOUTS!

What’s even more exciting about the increase in serve speeds by these collegiate players is that this serve speed increase was achieved by highly trained tennis players — players who have been exposed to the best available training methods.

Sports science has told us that time and again that highly-trained tennis players CANNOT significantly increase their racket speed because they have maxed out their physical capabilities, but we have proven otherwise!

SpeedChain™ training has fundamentally pushed the frontiers of tennis training forward by proving that even highly-trained, high-performance tennis players can rapidly increase their racket speeds by using this breakthrough speed training device.

IMPROVE YOUR RACKET SPEED FASTER THAN EVER

Ask any certified strength and conditioning coach how long it would take to improve your movement or racket speed, and they will answer: “at least 6 to 8 hours of training per week for a minimum of 6 to 8 months.” Compare that to SpeedChain™ training where you do two (2), twenty minute workouts a week!

As we mentioned earlier, we have observed a 3 to 8 MPH increase in serve and groundstroke speeds in all players who have performed our workout program after the very first workout.  In fact, we have documented an incredible 14 MPH improvement in serve speed by a former NCAA Division 1 singles champion after his very first SpeedChain™ workout. After just one month (only 8 workouts total!!), you can increase your serve and groundstroke speed up to 20 MPH.

That’s just 8 X 20 minutes or 2 hours and 40 minutes of total training time over 4 weeks to increase your serve and groundstroke speed up to 20 MPH.

Now compare that with conventional, periodized training programs that take 240+ total hours over a 24 to 32 week training period to achieve only marginal speed improvement (typically between 3 to 8 MPH). SpeedChain™ training can deliver remarkable results up to 90 times faster than conventional methods. That’s not just twice or three times faster, we’re talking about 90 times faster when you train with the SpeedChain™.

If you’re short on time but want to maximize results, which training program would you choose? The one that takes 240-plus hours total or the one that takes less than 3 hours total (SpeedChain™) ?

Or, even more remarkably as we have observed with all our early adopters, you can achieve a measurable increase in your racket speed by training with the SpeedChain™ after just one, 20 minute-workout.

SUMMARY

Tennis today is all about power. Having powerful serves, forehands and backhands are the fundamental ingredients to success in today’s game.

And the source of all that power is racket speed.

Months spent perfecting your stroke techniques and off-court training using conventional conditioning methods will NOT increase your racket speed, especially if you’re a highly trained tennis player. In fact, conventional off-court conditioning exercises cannot and do not increase your racket speed, and will train you to swing your racket slower, not faster.

The SpeedChain™ does this by enabling you to perform our revolutionary speed training exercises using your actual stroke movements at high speed with the “overloading” delivered by the dynamic, variable resistance of the SpeedChain™.

Training with the SpeedChain™ will not only increase your serve and groundstroke speed like no other conditioning program in existence, you will achieve those unmatched increases in racket speed faster than ever thought possible.

Rather than spending hours and hours every week for several months waiting for measurable results, SpeedChain™ training takes as little as  40 minutes a week and you’ll see results from the very first workout.

TennisSpeed, LLC  has conducted over 2 years of extensive testing with top-ranked junior and collegiate tennis players to prove the effectiveness of SpeedChain™ training where players have increased their serve speed up to 20 MPH after just 8 SpeedChain™ workouts.

The SpeedChain™ has solved one of the great conditioning challenges of the athletic world by proving that we CAN increase the speed of complex athletic movements even in highly-trained athletes such increasing the racket speed of high-performance tennis players.

When you order the SpeedChain™, you will receive our special, proprietary training program that shows you, step-by-step, how to measurably increase your racket speed — most likely as soon as you complete your very first SpeedChain™ workout.
