Great to see some of you breaking through that plateau phase! It is important for the readers to hear that the plateau comes for most everyone but you will come out of it. @Jon Brittan We are looking for the SuperSpeed protocols to be done while the person is the most fresh physically and neurologically. If someone is pre fatigued from a gym program or playing a round of golf they typically will be slower training after. That being said it is not a black and white rule. We appreciate you bringing up this point. We want people to train when they feel the best and are getting the most out of the sessions. If later in the day is working better definitely stick with that but don't be afraid to experiment. @mpatrickriley We all have an athletic ceiling where our potential for speed will be at a maximum. We don't really know for sure exactly but we would guess most people are operating around 50-60% of their potential. This athletic ceiling is developed by what types of explosive activities you did as a kid and your unique genetic makeup. If you didn't do fast or powerful movements as a child it doesn't mean you won't be able to gain more speed, it just means you most likely will never be a Cameron Champ. Through the SuperSpeed training we can begin to tap into more of that potential by activating what are called Motor Units. At some point you will max out and won't be able to gain more speed. It takes some work to get to that max out phase though. The first 2 SuperSpeed training protocols will yield the biggest gains. From there the gains will be slower and smaller but still happen. The plateau phase can also be longer.

My wife and I had a 10am tee time today. It was 28º and cloudy, but the sun was supposed to come out by noon. They lied. We took our cart cover that we bought 2 years ago that fits the Yamaha rentals, but we have no heater. The guy in the pro shop said that two groups were about 30 minutes ahead of us and no one has a tee time behind us. It started snowing. Only a few flakes so we headed to the first tee. I was cold. We decided to play the first two holes, then decide if we would continue since the 2nd green was by the parking lot. It stopped snowing, so we continued on. I took this picture from in front of the #3 green looking across the pond back down the fairway. The pond was frozen... so were the greens. I made a mistake and landed my ball on the front of the 40 yard deep #5 green; went off the back. We finished the front nine and called it quits. I hit the ball pretty well, but there was no way to score today. Riding in a cart, even with a cover, is colder than I remember in years past. We have a 10am tee time for tomorrow, but I think I'll walk; much easier to stay warm.

Me Too! Luckily most of my marks at the range were dead center on the face. The ball flight with head/shaft combo is unreal. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Just got back from my first round in 6 weeks. Went 48-42 for 90. Would've been ok, but it was a tight little exec. with par 62. (Actually, it put me right on my handicap.) 5 penalties. They had been closed for 6 months to refurbish their greens and tee boxes. I couldn't get any sense of speed at all on the greens. 43 putts. I did manage a 5 hole run of pars, with one that should have been a birdie. Just lipped the birdie putt out. It was just nice to get a chance to play again after such a long layoff.

Saw them live this summer with my oldest. Such a great show. I tend to listen to instrumental stuff while I'm working. Here's one playlist:

A lawyer was standing in a long line to get tickets for a theatre play. Suddenly, he felt the hands of the man behind him, kneading into his back. He turned and gave the man a stern look, and the kneading stopped. But a few minutes later, he again felt the man’s hands on his back. "Excuse me," the lawyer asked, "But why are you touching my back?" "I’m a chiropractor," the man replied, "and I sometimes I can’t keep myself from practicing my skills." "Get control of yourself," the lawyer shot back. "I’m an attorney, and you don’t see me screwing the guy in front of me, do you?"

Those are nice! How do you like the V-soles?

The Chrome soft is interesting because I just picked up my re-shafted 9 iron and my fitter was extolling its virtues. I commented that it's a very good ball but that I don't like how soft it feels. The soft balls of today do not feel like Balata did IMO, they feel contrived, kind of like when you get flavored potato chips. That's my take - clearly they have their niche and the answer an objection to the modern ball feeling too firm for some - they just aren't for me.

Played my first round with my new Mizuno MP18 MMCs and Hogan TK wedges. Hadn’t been able to play for 3 weeks due to work and an unfortunate bout of gastroenteritis. Really solid to start, 1 over after 8, greens were slow after a minor tining but rolled ok. Very happy with the new irons, other than a couple of very poor swings they’re very forgiving and I love the ball flight. Ended up playing to my 9 handicap with a couple of very soft doubles after leaving it in the bunker Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

I started 2018 with a 24 handicap and a goal of breaking 100 three times. I am finishing 2018 at a 17 handicap, Shot a 90s score 18 times, 80s score 12 times, and a 70s score once. Excited for what 2019 has in store! Thanks for helping be a part of this ride!

A quick observation today... This morning at the club I tried the TS2 and the Cortex before playing. The TS2 was an 11.5* with Tensei Blue-S and the Cortex was an 10.5* with a Blue-R shaft of some kind. The Cortex was a non-starter due to the shaft. Everything was high and right. Everyone raves about the great sound of the Cortex but I didn't hear that through my ears. Now.... the TS2 was freaking awesome! I only hit about 6 shots that were each pretty much perfect in my book. The sound was great and the ball flight and trajectory seemed just what I prefer. And this was with Srixon yellow range balls. Loved the sound and feel. I had all my shots centered on the face in an area of about the size of a quarter. I took both drivers back to the pro shop and told one of the assistants, "I can play this club just like it is." Now the bad news... He said I had $125 on account and I can apply that to the club and also get the Christmas Sale discount. Hmmm? Fitting? What fitting. It fits! Honestly though, I think I'll get back out there next Saturday and take it on the course with a game ball, Then I'll see. Really see. Could this be the SLDR beater? Maybe.

Never be embarrassed by any club you carry if you can hit it and it helps you score. Now one of my running partners Checkers has been carrying and using one since they came out and like Ole Gray it has helped him tremendously. He did paint the green on his black because he said he could not stand the bright green. But being around here and seeing a variety of golfers of all skill levels and parts of the USA and Canada too for that matter I have seen quite a few in bags.

28* no way, you guys are tougher than me[emoji106] I’m rethinking under 45*! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

You can get a cart heater for about $50. at any big box store, however, at some point you have to get out and hit the ball which at that temp is not a pleasant experience. At that temp, I prefer staying home and practicing in my warm basement.

Only hit them at the range today. But they feel great. Will update once I get them on grass and see if it helps me dig less. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Having come across that, I got nostalgic and looked up more Steppenwolf stuff. I found one of my favorite wolf tunes with lyrics. It's a political (sort of) tune, but it's still relative today..... no matter what side of the fence you're on. I'm making no statement with it, so.................

I was cruising around You Tube and came across this. All of you "old" rockers should know who Goldy McJohn is...... key boardist for Steppenwolf. 69 years old and still playing..................... the classic.... The Pusher.

The chromesoft have always felt soft to me and I’ve seen 1/2-1club less with them than other tour level balls. TM has two really good ball in the TP line and I’m curious what the next gen is going to be like. I’m a titleist homer when it comes to balls but if I were to deity it would be to TM

That looks tasty!

Nice little care package. Covers a lot of ground. I agree with you on both the TP5 and Chrome Soft. Bridgestone Tour B JGR Driver and HF2 irons Pre Release Testing

This is the perfect place to say that my college buddies came to church last Saturday evening and brought me a care package that included toilet paper, a bottle opener, a cutter, a history fact book, a bottle of scotch, a regifted card and a box of Tp 5xs. I played with the Taylor Made ball this week and was suitably impressed. The only balls other than the Pro VIx that I’ve played a round with were a two piece as a part of the MGS challenge last Spring. I’ve played a hole or two with the Chrome soft x but honestly that ball is not my cup of tea, feels too soft and spins too little around the green for my taste. The TMag? I could game that one.

We are tracking our top numbers from each week and putting them in our charts. I went back over my book that I use to record daily and saw that the averages for each day work out to about 1-3 mph different. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I took some lessons that completely revamped my swing. Changed everything about it. Much more consistent especially with my irons. Now it is on me to be consistent in my play/practice to get better. Can't even explain how much the lessons helped my swing path, tempo, and striking. I still struggle with keeping my head down sometimes. Playing! I have a winter card at a local course. Cost $190 but no green fee from 10/1-2/28. I played four rounds in the first two weeks and got my money's worth. Have played about 8-9 rounds since i bought the card so 5 rounds and all other are completely free. Luckily the PNW ground doesn't freeze too often during winter. (Except this week.)

It was a day for a golf marathon. Played round 1 at Grand Cypress New Course in our first round of alternate shot format. Let’s just say it’s frustrating when you rip a drive down the middle and give your partner a simple 110 yard wedge in and he chunks it and dunks it in the moat right in front of the green. Ah well, might as well get the triple bogey out of the way on the first hole. But I will say that he redeemed himself on the 2nd hole by stiffing a wedge to within a foot for a tap in birdie. We ended up shooting 92 and are T30 out of 33 teams. At least we’re not dead last. We have tomorrow to make it respectable. So we finished at noon, had some lunch and decided to trek over to Orange County National where we played the Crooked Cat course. And in the interest of full disclosure, the tips are around 7,500 yards and I just laughed. Um, no. So the next tees up are 7,000. Uh, please no. So the next tees up are 6,500. Ok, now we’re talking. So I ripped a drive down the middle on the 480 yard par 5 first hole and had 210 in. So I pulled hybrid and put it pin high to about 20 feet and drained the putt for only my 10th eagle ever. What an exciting way to start the round. Here’s my scorecard. Here’s a few pics from the course. What a fantastic track btw. The weather in Orlando is perfect btw. It was 73 degrees and bright sunshine this afternoon. Fantastic day! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Let’s get er done. Eager to hear what they put you in.

I'm not really a put-clothes-on-my-dog kinda guy, but it is cold here, and my wife thought it would be cute. Given her expression, I think Rohan is in agreement with my basic position on dog clothes.

I have arccos 360 and love it, but if the MGS leaderboard takes off (as I suspect it will) I may have to make the switch. Really not a fan of wearing a watch while golfing, but I think I could make it work!

ever consider a 54/58* combo? I find those pretty flexible ... 58 can open up a bit and hit like a 60 but also allows you to play it from further away than a 60.

Top picture: three months ago. Bottom picture: this morning.

Indiana exposed the defense last week, and Meyer made the adjustment to use it. Unfortunately harbaugh didn’t look at Maryland’s plays from last week and make the same adjustments. Harbaugh will not change the way he runs a team, and it really cost them today. Harbaugh is no good. He cannot win the games that he needs to win. They were totally and utterly unprepared for the game.

Just a little update, I thought I was having issues with it not picking up shots but I realized that I was wearing the watch too far up my wrist

Used this club all summer and have to say that I love it. Have been playing for 30 years, chipping and pitching have long been a weakness. I know the proper technique, just can’t pull it off under pressure. In my experience every fatted or skulled chip just amps up the anxiety for the next one and before long you are dreading even the simplest of chips. In essence, you become a headcase. Enter Square Strike. Easy to setup with upright lie and short putter type length. Once you learn to just trust your putting stroke, in other words just smooth back and through with no real hit, it takes all the stress out of the shot. And it goes where you aim it. It is by no means perfect and if you yip it, you can still hit some impressive skulls across the green. But over time, I have seen so many good ones that I have gained enough confidence that now I am actually trying to make ‘em instead of just hitting the green. Chipping has improved to the point that I take the Square strike out of the bag at times. When I am on, I can get similar result with and 8 iron or U wedge. Invariably , however, I find myself wishing the Square Strike were back in the bag at times. It is also an excellent club for hacking out of the corn or any serious trouble where you just want to advance the ball. I have previously used the SmartSole or Niblick with success. I like the Square Strike better, because of its beveled leading edge. SmartSole was more prone to dig in my experience, although it produced some incredible spin on 60 yards knockdown shots. Initially I was somewhat embaressed to have this club in my bag. Even had a headcover on it. Seems though that everyone who saw the club in my bag wanted to try it and most people like it. It’s just a matter of whether you have room in your bag for a specialty club. In our usual foursome, there are 2 square strikes in play. Part of the fun is that whenever somebody hits a good one with it, the hole foursome says “Square Strike!” Yes we are nerds, but it is fun nonetheless.

From 2 very bored mathematicians: What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% And K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% But , A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% And, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103% AND, look how far ass kissing will take you. A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118% So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there. It’s the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top. Now you know why some people are where they are!
