About to turn one year old! Say cheese!

Appreciate it Mike and Revkev. I was doing what's on the current website and was shocked at first by how sore I was since most people here said they did not get much of a workout from it. I then did the math and realized I had increased from 39 swings to 93 swings. I am glad they are changing up the protocols then because I've had to do 2 days in between each session because of how sore I was. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Shot a 39/44:83 today using my garage stored 10 year old PowerBilt Air Force Ones, remember the ones that were nitrogen filled instead of using internal supports. I was “getting away” from 8 months of Arccos tech just to clear my head and Wow! They still have the punch. I putted horrible, having a 30’ shot at Eagle on a Par 5, ending with a Par. Missed three shots at Birdie, settling for Par or Bogey. That said, I set up the old clubs with Arccos 360 sensors tonight and will play them for a month to see what happens.

Went to True Spec and this will serve as my 6 month update: Grant, Thank you for coming into our studio this afternoon. I hope you enjoyed the experience of a True Spec iron fitting and felt like we identified beyond a shadow of a doubt your Cleveland Launcher HB irons were the best overall solution for what you're looking for at this stage in your game. While you originally had some concerns about the lie angles of your current irons, the GC Quad report (attached) show that you're consistently delivering a neutral lie angle at impact. Additionally, you were hoping to find a setup that was more forgiving, and while certain combinations changed the dynamics of the ball flight, I feel confident that the numbers you're producing are optimal for your swing signature. Sure, the Callaway Rogue Irons gave you 3 more mph of ball speed, but they also launched 4 degrees lower and had a whopping 8.5-9.0 degrees lower dynamic loft at impact. While they fly almost 10 yards farther, they are coming in so shallow (38-39 degrees) with about 600 rpm of spin less that you won't have any luck stopping the ball coming into the green. The best combination of forgiveness, launch, speed, and consistency was achieved using your Cleveland gamers. Best of all, you got them from MyGolfSpy!! I'm really interested to have you back and get fit for a Driver. The XXIO line is notoriously very easy to hit, so I'm up for the challenge of trying to beat it and find a more permanent solution for your tee ball. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Bunch of new gear is coming out soon so next time you're in we should have some new toys! Thanks, SF True Spec Golf Shaun Fagan Master Club Fitter 413-454-2726 TrueSpecGolf.com The guys there were great and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I’m sure I will build a relationship with them as I round out other parts of my bag. I can provide monitor data if anyone is still paying attention to this thread. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

Looks like I’ll be doing a fitting for these on the 28th while I’m in Houston. Looking forward to it!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

And as often! Our puppy takes naps frequently - she'll just lie down and doz off. I on the other hand can't even take one nap a day. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

First level 3 protocol in the books. Given that it bumps us to 4 reps from 3 in each round it’s sort of like running the Belmont after the Kentucky Derby [emoji237] I realize that those doing the originals nap protocols make a bigger jump still to 5 reps at some point. That had to be a real shock to the system. I hammered the step backs dominant but wow we’re the non-dominant is new rough - which way do I go?[emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Not a scoring milestone, but .. hit most of the fairways in a 9-hole round and .. importantly for me .. that included a few solid shots with a driver (and - a rental set driver, no less)! Looking forward to reporting more good news as this season progresses.

I doubt it. I think this is a equipment junkie thing. I just don't see your weekend joe buying a $200 shaft for his putter. He'd buy a new putter over a new shaft. Heck, weekend golfers mostly have stock regular shafts in their drivers, which they care about a lot more than putters. To them, Distance is king!

Got the first 9-hole round of 2019 in yesterday; wife and I were down in Florida for a long weekend (attended a 2-day clinic given by Teresa and Sue of Nancy Lopez Golf Adventures; off-topic but VERY HIGHLY recommended - especially for couples, eg. guys who want to get their wives some non-competitive/non-threatening yet super-high quality instruction). I'm feeling like this season is going to be a year of really good golfing progress! So even playing with basic rental clubs (Strata) I was hitting fairways and hitting most of my second and approach shots decently. Not awesome but all playable. Very few wasted shots. One fairway missed was a 6i into a dogleg right that I didn't hit "fully" and it faded a bit and brushed the tree on the inside of the dogleg and fell under it. Only other missed fairway was with driver - into the morning sun and all carry across water on a dogleg left- and I just i-dunno-what with the first shot and pulled it low-left right into the drink.... Re-tee'ed shot was not spot-on but pretty darn good into the fairway across the water. Had a few other solid driver tee shots so feeling good about playing that club this season. The two Par 3s I hit straight online but short both times. Chipping around the greens was ok; the rental set had a 56 vs the 54 or 58 I carry. Putting was decent but distance control on the first putts was not great. Can't really blame that one on the rental clubs, though! Overall looking forward to happy - and successful - golfing this year!

Limped home to an 88 on Sunday and my handicap keeps trending higher as I kick out good scores from summer. I am finally trying to address my flipping & leaning back tendency on my downswing that leads to epic, hole-killing hooks, and the results just haven't been there yet. Early in the round my newer swing thoughts are working, but my setup/positioning is bad, for example I pured my 7 iron approach on the first hole but instead of my normal pronounced draw, this one started right of the target and just eased back a bit. A great ball flight that I would be ecstatic to use consistently, but missed the green because I aimed there, not trusting the new swing yet (and didn't get up & down). Then as the round goes on old tendencies come up and I start missing left again. #dreadedtwowaymiss GHIN has moved up from 5.7 this summer to trending 8.6. I need to fix this issue in 2019 because once I have kids the number of rounds I play will be dropping substantially and I'll have no hope, but man is it frustrating in the meantime...

Hello Mate's, I am from Michigan, USA and I am going to be traveling to Australia and New Zealand the 1st part of March for work. I would like to be able to get a round of golf in, I will be in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, then will be in Auckland, NZ. Can somebody recommend a nice decent priced course I could play? I would have to rent clubs also. I will be there for about 2 weeks. Thanks Sent from my SM-G965U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

First I want to thank all of you for the support through last year. I had some great success and some frustrating defeats. I made great strides in my swing and mental toughness and I still have a long way to go. This thread will be where I post my schedule and prep for the upcoming season, you can also follow on instagram @KCLeonardGolf. I have a very busy schedule this year with more high level tournaments than I played last year. I will be playing the VGA again this year. I have the SCGA Mid-Am, US Mid-Am, All Navy Tryouts, All Armed Forces(if I make All Navy), I plan on playing in 2 city Am events as well. First up is the SCGA Mid-Am qualifier on March 18th. I played my first practice round on the course yesterday and will be playing another in a few weeks.

That's very interesting. I wear progressives and I do golf with them , however, I believe it distorts the line for putting (at least that's my excuse). Let us know how you make out with them.

Update completed, can't wait to give it a try

That's very cool, I love that they didn't try to sell you on the rogues and admitted that your clubs are the best solution for you. Sounds like my kind of store

I use the layer approach too. Some form of cold gear shirt from ua or fj, Nike or Oakley. A polo on top of that and then either a cold gear jacket from ua or fj. If it’s windy a 1/4 zip between the polo and jacket. if not wanting to layer fj, adidas and puma have some good jackets

Can you call in a favor with Mother Nature to allow some warm weather around 1/21 so I can hit it before April

Just snapped this for you. Still looks brand new

The ATL has always been at the top of my list for a putter that will cause the wife to explode and I find myself sleeping on the couch for a week. And now with the stroke lab shaft available, I better go buy a more comfortable couch!

When I first stumbled upon this forum, I happened to notice in the intros to the testers on the first page Kenny B linked to then new protocols and warm up that the testers were asked to use - these are updates to what is currently on the SuperSpeed site, and I believe it was mentioned here that these new versions will soon replace what's currently on the SS site: An overview of the SuperSpeed Golf system protocols is provided here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8mxwr5vfa1ksvmf/Protocol Outline Packet.pdf?dl=0 The warmup routines are provided here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2918b36vvlj9vn1/Warm_Up.mp4?dl=0 I've been following these protocols.

Sorry I can't help with Sydney, the last time I played golf there was my first time playing about 29 years ago and a lot has changed since then.

I was slacking a bit today. Wasn’t going to do them. But then my 4 year old dared me to. So I did 150 instead. They are getting easier. Stick with it! 8 days in, only several hundred more to go.

You and me both.

Sorry to hear about that have a speedy recovery

Well, I hear that Molinari and Koepka are available....

Most sign with a brand when they turn pro and/or earn playing status on the euro/pga web/challenge tour. Most are probably shots in the dark outside of the high ranking college players

I was pretty disappointed that Jalen didn't play more meaningful snaps early. But there was a lot to be disappointed about in that game from a coaching/ preparing perspective.

I came to the same conclusion as Kenny early on in my training. Here is a snipped of the owners manual: "8. The display will flash if a duplicate of the previous speed is measured. It returns to stationary if a third identical speed is measured, etc."

So, 10 yards longer carry vs 0811X Gen1. 400 revs less spin. 109 swing speed, 1.46-1.51 smash factor (a lil under the weather!) ~9 degree launch, 1900-2100 spin, longest carry was 265 with 15 yards rollout. Funnily enough with the TPT swing speed went down to 106 (tho they use the changable shaft adapters, and it put the SW to D7, then had to tinker with the head weight). And the ball speeds stayed the same. AND Its the same story with Gen1 vs Gen2 - the 109 swing is ~3/4mph slower than my Gen1 and i’ve not lost any ball speed.

Back to my usual self rocking a 103 on Sunday in a sloppy wet mess, but it was a gorgeous day. I didn't have time to warm up and just never really found my iron swing. I was first off with 3 other guys, two of which started sipping SoCo at 8am..by the 18th it had become an...interesting round at best...

Got out today in 43 degrees after a day of rain. Sloppy wet mess, temporary greens in fairways but I was the only guy out there. I played 3 balls and here are my takeaways: ball compression doesn’t matter in cold weather and making all my wedges 36 inches long was a really good decision for me.

You know it is January

Played today - course was ridiculously wet for December. Weather was spectacular. After a brief discussion our group determined that we would leave the pin in. I will say that it didn’t take long to get used to it. I can’t say for certain but there’s a chance that I got big help from it and n my birdie putt on 18. Also I had great pace on my long putts all day. I attribute that to always having the pin it. Sometimes in the past I would forgo the tend - being able to see makes a big difference. Oh yeah, shot 76. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

I'm still dialing it in. I get the cable I need for my projector this week. At that point, it'll be moving obvious where I should align everything. That said, the results I was seeing were very much in line with expectations, as to left and right misses. My misreads have either been 1) no read at all, or 2) very implausible spin rates.

I picked up the Tommy Armour Impact No.3 putter yesterday. I have to say that I was skeptical of the comparison that it had gotten to much more expensive putters that are currently on the market. I had been playing a cheap Wilson putter for the last 9 years, so I was due for an upgrade. The no.3 is a GREAT putter! I took it to the practice green at my course and put it through the paces. It just flat out does what I expect it to do. My lag putts were spot on and I was making more from close range. I really hope this is a sign than this next season will be a breakthrough year.

I’m going for a fitting next Saturday. Putting it up against my TS3. It will have to seriously perform for me to purchase, but I’m curious to see how it compares. Will report back then. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

I went to the range today during lunch with one goal in mind: rotate the left hip behind me. I got a large bucket and hit everything from Sand Wedge to driver and early results are fantastic. Obviously, with the new move, my strike position has changed so I had a few wonky shots, but I saw very few high flares to the right. I was seeing a much better launch window with all of my clubs and I was generating much better contact with my irons. Even the distance in 40 degree weather with cold range balls was pretty impressive. I could easily tell by ball flight if I had rotated properly and that is a big part of getting lessons: understanding the changes you are making and being able to identify what you are doing wrong in the swing. I love the encouragement and feedback I am getting in this thread. It is really awesome to get engagement from the community like this. One thing I want to point out is a lot of people are saying "we have similar issues/swings". I think if you can take away anything from my initial post, where I thought I knew what was wrong with my swing, to my first lesson where I learned what the main issue with my swing was, it is that not all swing issues have the same root cause. Having a trained professional be able to work with me has allowed me to address the core of my issues. If I was by myself, I would likely have tried to fix my wrist angles or shaft plane without even addressing the main issue, which was my lateral weight shift and lack of rotation. I hope this thread inspires others to go get some lessons so they can better understand their swing, the cause and effects of their swing faults, and to get a plan to get better. After just one lesson, I feel like I am on a much better path towards consistency than I could ever have gotten on by myself. I will continue to do my drills and work hard over the next week and look forward to providing another update after my next lesson on 1/10

Sluggo, I play all winter in Texas where some days are in the 40's to mid-50's. I don't necessarily own or purchase any expensive golf specific "cool" weather jackets. I rely mostly on layers. On the coldest/coolest days I start with a thermal body layer*, then a long sleeve mock turtle, then a pullover fleece type qtr. zip jacket. Somedays if even a little colder I might wear a zip up heavy type sweater jacket thing that also protects my neck. There's a lot of stuff out there that works and doesn't cost much really. Just buy what you like and appears to be warm. Pretty simple really as the idea is to be warm but not bound-up. If wind is an issue look for a wind barrier lining on the inside of your jacket. If I can keep my core warm without much restriction I can play all day. * I personally don't like wearing these tight fitting thermal layers but they sure work. I bought mine at Academy for not much. Same concept as UA but without the high price tag.

I pushed a cart through BPB. It was tough but goddamnit it was AWESOME!

Shot good, -1 today. Real crisp ball striking day, putters rolling well. Just missed a few putts that would have made the day a fantastic day, but still quite pleased with the day.

I'll keep popping back in here proclaiming my love for these irons because for me, they just flat out perform. I won 3 of 4 greenies last Tuesday. My buddies said they were going to wrestle these clubs away from me..... Yup these puppies bark like a champion blue tic! I will say I'm disappointed that Cleveland did not option a 3 iron in the mix. I love the 4 iron and having the option of bagging a 3 would be heaven on earth! Well at least in the golfing scheme of things.
