  1. In a long overdue update, I’ll share quickly a few latest & greatest tidbits. I have my first tee time of the year this coming Sunday, and I’m excited to get after it! 1) I just took a 3-week vacation and had some (probably needed) time away from the gym and the Stack. As a result, I canceled the Neural Drive Stack workout I was in, and re-baselined. My driver speed was a respectable 110, but certainly not where I need or want to be. I’m allowing for some severe traveling fatigue and jet lag (I did this baseline at 4 AM), but I’m hoping to see big improvements on these numbers, and quickly. 2) A BIG emphasis going forward will be optimal timing of speed training. I’ve done waaay too many sessions first thing in the wee hours of the morning and the speed always suffers. Whenever possible I’ll be slipping out of the office midday for a lunch hour workout, and will schedule the sessions for the latest possible time within the Stack recommended schedule. Coupled with better sleep and dedicated cold plunge use, and I’m confident in optimized speed training as a result. 3) I did my first Fit for Golf “Velocity” workout (from the beta version of the app update) and it’s truly a transformation of how I’ve been training. Even more reason to be excited about optimized training and speed results. I could go on, to include re-shafted irons and a new custom-fit putter inbound, but suffice it to say I’m excited. The goal: cut the handicap to 3.5 this year, and see 116+ driver clubhead speed.
  2. I have every intention of sticking with my TSR2 with a Ventus Blue 6s. That said, I can see kicking some tires, especially with a new Ventus out.
  3. Just got back from a looong family vacation (some FL resorts and a cruise). Which means now that that trip is over, it’s okay for me to start getting excited for this one! Got to start taking a closer look at these courses for starters. Can’t wait!
  4. I’m almost certain you’ll tinker with the shaft 2-3 times during the season though!
  5. FWIW, I plan to take a little different approach for variety’s sake and incorporate Stack Putting for testing as much as I can.
  6. I usually game the SuperStroke Flatso 1.0. It’s available with the Array, so I went with it again. I liked the Edel stock grips fine, but it was one area where the fitter didn’t really care and said to go with comfort and familiarity, so there it is.
  7. I’ll add one more wrinkle to this discussion of build specs. If you recall from my original review, I ordered my irons a degree strong. I just had them re-shafted and bent a degree flat at Club Champion, and they checked the lofts and they were off. Inconsistent across the set in fact, but all standard loft or even a little weak in some cases. Still a big fan, just the first real negative I’ve experienced, and can’t say that’s unique to Edel versus any other OEM. Perhaps just a good lesson to have your lofts and lies checked.
  8. Congrats gents! @Hoyoymac, solid intro and so impressed to see your interest and dedication to this one. Can’t wait to see these things in action at Kingsmill!
  9. Nice. Post some pics when it gets in, and add a profile pic while you’re at it!
  10. Picked up my re-shafted, re-gripped, and re-fit Edels. Accra TZi 95g shafts, and the clubs have all been flattened a degree. Can't wait for the season to start!
  11. My intro is up. I didn't post much beyond a minor sneak peek about the fitting itself...that will be its own thread update in the next couple of days. Waaaay too much to unpack from that awesome experience to jam into an intro post.
  12. With the app update around the corner and in our testers hands soon, I thought a few peaks at the "old" app that is getting updated might be interesting to some. To be honest, I've always thought it was a great product, so to hear an improved experience is in store has me pretty excited. Here's a few screenshots from the In Season program, which asks you to focus on using light weights but use them rapidly, in other words focusing on how quickly you can move the weight. The second screenshot shows you how data entry works as you progress through each workout. The app also tracks and pushes you "attaboys" post workout as you increase your weights and reps. As to the workout selections, the app gives you a menu with text descriptions describing the intent of the program and some prescriptive information so you can decide if it's right for you. Here's an example of the daily Mobility workout description and tutorial. THIS is one of the main areas of improvement in the new app that our testers will experience. The new app will have a diagnostic tool which (while optional) will quiz you on your goals and background to point you to the appropriate workout you should be in. The new app will also place a very heavy emphasis on aligning your training with where you are in the golf season. It's going to be a much improved product and I can't wait to see our testers get into it!
