And more to the point, Wally has a teacher who actually WANTS him to get faster with no limits, unlike Barry who had Eobard teaching him, Wally also is over the trauma he had that would've been holding him back, unlike Barry. If you remember correctly, Eobard wanted Barry to get faster so he can help him get back to his own time period. He actually said those exact words in Fast Enough And Barry's speed actually skyrocketed under his guidance. Eobard was a major part of Barry's progress upon his transition to he Flash, and without him Barry probably wouldn't be nearly as fast as he is now. And Eobard has YEARS of futuristic experience as a speedster, whereas HR barely has any scientific knowledge whatsoever. So, clearly Eobard is the better teacher.

Man, I feel so wrong crediting this guy considering how evil he is. But even moreso dissing HR, cause he's a good guy. What I am saying is, Eobard only wanted Barry to get so fast, not any faster. Mach 2 was the limit of what Eobard wanted to train Barry because that is all he needed.

If Eobard had been like H.R and wanted Barry to go fast without a set limit of what he wanted the speedster to go, Eobard could've taught Barry how to go Mach 15 or whatever, but he didn't because he didn't need to for his plan.

H.R doesn't have an evil plan that requires his pawn to be fast enough to pull it off but slow enough to be beatable, he's just helping Wally.

I have little doubt that if he needed to Eobard could've trained Barry far more effectively than H.R is training Wally, but he didn't because that would entirely mess up his plan.

Never train your enemy to be more powerful than you if you are using them, that is a general rule for villains.
