  1. You'll get there, no doubt about it. I had trouble getting the speed I was seeing to translate from the range to the course. I think it has something to do with risk, on the course you're penalized for an errant shot. Once you make it to week 20 and start the ASD protocols, it's like a switch went off. I struggled with sequencing and did the ASD 2 protocol, which has been phenomenal! I still struggle with extra distance with my irons, but the driver has been a beast.

  2. Thanks Team bardle! I am not at all very versed on the intricacies of club fitting and wasn't sure if they needed to manipulate the swingweight of each club to compensate for the different heads. That's one of the things I love about this forum, there is something I can learn from it every day. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  3. I have a question for the one length guys and if it's something you're going to address in your stage one's you can save it for them. When you get fitted did they have you hit multiple irons? Say 5 iron, 7 iron, wedge, or does Cobra have a system to match the set based on your 7 iron? Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  4. Played 18 today, and while my swing is still not perfect I did manage to launch 4 drives over 240 one of which was a new personal best of 270. I was fortunate enough to get some roll going downhill, but I'm not complaining. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  5. I was able to get out and play 18 after work today, and let me tell you, the Epic Flash Sub Zero still brings the wow factor. My average driving distance was down compared to my last two rounds where I averaged 230. You can see, I missed a lot of shots left because I kept pulling the ball. Not to mention, there was this: I just straight up sent a worm burner down the fairway. A couple of guys let me play through and I caved to the pressure and just choked. My thought today was to test the driver in neutral on the sliding weight and the hosel in draw position. I was still hitting a baby fade when I wasn't pulling it, but it kept the slices to a minimum. I think one of the other testers who has a better swing than mine needs to test it out to give real results, but I'm honestly giddy with how it performed. I did come closer to an ace than I ever have in the 10th. I hit a 7 iron to within three feet of the flag. I gotta say I was both ecstatic and heartbroken at the same time. I guess since I was playing solo it was for the greater good, I don't want to have a heart attack without someone there to call an ambulance. I finally figured out how to fight my pull on the 18th, by moving the ball back in my stance a little bit. Then I did this: This is my longest drive ever! I'm not going to take all the credit for the shot because I was able to take advantage of the slope and the dry conditions. This driver is definitely staying in the bag.

  6. You got my curiosity up and so i read a post on the Callaway forum on their website and it says that the hosel adjustment would set the club more upright promoting a draw. They also noted that the effect would be more pronounced at max loft, so I would assume it would turn the club into more of a hook machine. I have practiced with the sliding weight in full draw (it's also where I play it) and the hosel in draw at the same time. I couldn't get consistent results, but I also was fighting my swing at the time as it was a hot mess. I'm planning on playing tomorrow and will set the sliding weight to neutral and the hosel to draw to see what happens. @edingc and@THEZIPR23 I hope both of you feel better before your next rounds.

  7. I didn't try any sort of knee pads, but I did pick up a kneeling pad at Lowe's early in the process. I think I paid $10 for it and it's definitely better than just placing my knees on the ground.@cnosil you're definitely a tougher man than I am. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  8. That's exciting! Nothing like getting boxes delivered, it's like Christmas in May. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  9. Great job@edingc! I've been mulling buying a push cart and it's nice to see such a great review of one. I really love the photos of how everything is fitting in the trunk of your Cavalier, those are pretty small cars. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  10. It's their Advanced Speed Development protocols, three different exercises you do once a week, starting week 20, to help you work on a specific deficiency in your swing. One is for lag, one is for sequencing, and the other is ground contact. They do have the videos on their website under Advanced Drills. They also have instructions on how to either have a professional diagnose your swing to determine which one to do, and they have methods to self diagnose. For example, since rev and I were talking ASD 2 which is sequencing I'll self diagnose. Go to the range with the radar and hit balls with your normal swing. Let's say you average 100 mph. Then hit balls using a half swing with the same effort and check your speed. If your speed isn't within 7 percent of your full swing, 93 mph in this example, then you'll want to do ASD 2.

  11. Welcome to the forum and thanks for the excellent write-up on the Stroke Lab putter! I'll be sure to keep tabs here and in the Official Review to see how is performing for you. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  12. I've actually gone from using 3 1/2" tees down to 2 3/4" to make up for how much lower I'm teeing the ball. I used to tee it high and let it fly now I tee it low and watch it go! I think the ASD 2 protocol is phenomenal, getting a feel for how the whole body works in concert to swing the club makes a huge difference in my game. Heck, it's the one Phil's doing every time I see him with a SuperSpeed stick in his hands. If it's good enough for Phil, it's good enough for me.

  13. Great round! I'm amazed by that putting handicap you posted, that's crazy good. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  14. If I can ever get my swing under control, the Sub Zero will be considered dangerous. I played nine holes after work and with the exception of the first hole, my driver was a weapon. I had to play the back nine at Chatata Valley and the 10th hole has always been a bane to my existence. The tee shot has to start right to avoid the trees that line a creek to the left. I hit the trees and got fortunate that my ball dropped down leaving me with a playable shot. The bad news was my drive was only 62 yards. It's no fault of the club, just my subconscious playing games with me. I did hit three drives that went 240, 251, and 253. My other three went 215, 208, 209 and they all felt like they came off the heel. None of them were punishing, just lost distance and was still left with decent shots. Overall, I had another day where I averaged 230. Granted, this is not accounting for the first drive. I do believe Flash Face might just be the real deal. My best drive of the day was a straight up block on the 18th that ended up in the 10th fairway but was good for 253 yards. Hit my 3 wood for my second shot, which left me behind trees and led to my shot of the day where I hit a low running 5 iron under the branches and hit the GIR. It's going to be rainy this weekend, that and the wife's birthday don't bode well for playing. Overall, I would call today a big win for the Epic Flash Sub Zero.

  15. Mike, first of all congrats on your new low score! That's awesome! I want you to know that I also struggled with pop-ups. I think the training might have led to a steeper angle of attack, for me, and caused me to hit high on the face. I tried lowering my tee height, shoulder angles, and ball position. It took a little time and a lot of frustration before being able to find good contact, but once I did, yowza! I'm dropping bombs and have more confidence in my driver than I've had in a long time. I have complete and total faith you'll get there. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to hear stories from you and the other testers of long drives and low scores.

  16. I've got mine set at 10.5 and am getting a high ball flight. I've struggled with REALLY high shots lately because I have a bad habit of hitting the top of the face. A setup adjustment that has gotten me more toward the middle of the face and the ball flight is still high, but with a more piercing trajectory. I have experimented with dropping the loft to 9.5 but really couldn't keep it under control. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  17. Congrats guys to all the big numbers that y'all are putting up!@cnosil @Trial& Error @B.Boston @tchat07 you guys are putting up numbers I'd love to see. I've been in the maintenance phase for the last couple of weeks due to golf season, driver testing, and just having to do things around the house. Spring time is definitely busy time. One note about the maintenance phase, it's awkward going back and doing the step change, my body wants to do the double step. Keep up the great work guys! It's definitely worth it when you start reaching parts of the course you're not used to hitting from. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

  22. I haven't tried swinging the light club before a round, but I do the dynamic warm-up with the heavy club progression at the end. SuperSpeed has put out their suggested warm-up routine: I haven't done this one, I guess I'm too lazy to put the two extra clubs in my bag. I do like the fact it has you swinging the light club at the end. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

  24. Shot my best round ever yesterday, 44/45 for an 89. I had six drives register over 240 yards with four of those going over 250. My longest drive of the day was 259. I'm currently in a maintenance phase due to the fact it's been a busy couple of weeks and playing and practicing with the Callaway. I'm more than happy with how SuperSpeed has really changed my game.

  25. Have any of you had a day where you were playing out of your mind? I'm talking one of those days when you exceeded your expectations? That was my day. I went to get in some quality time with the Epic Flash Sub Zero after work, expecting to play maybe 12 to 14 holes and I just couldn't bring myself to leave with the way I was playing. Shot a 44/45 for a personal best 89 on a par 71 course. Granted, it's only about 5300 yards, but it features narrow fairways and a few postage stamp greens. It's one of the reasons that I picked this course to test the Epic Flash, it may be short but it demands accuracy. The 473 yard par 5 7th has an uphill tee shot to a fairway that is only about 25-30 yards wide and a green that's 1600 square feet. I sliced the drive, I'm skittish of this hole due to the fact that I once pull hooked a drive that crossed the road and nearly hit a house. I was off the fairway, but still had a good line for my second shot. That's what I'm really loving about this driver, the bad hits still result in good opportunities. On the par 4 fourth hole I drive one 245 missing the fairway but was left with this: I was punished on one drive on the third hole when I hit one into the creek that crosses the fairway, I was a bit to the right and would have been close to the fairway if not for the water. I also hit one over the cart path that crosses on 17 and it hit the down slope on the hill. Overall, I hit six drives over 240 yards with a long of 259 and an overall average of 230 yards! Honestly, I wasn't hitting the ball great on the front, but once I got to the back things just got better. My last three drives all went over 250 and I thought I had a chance to drive the 18th when I hit it, but was just a little short. Of course, I was thinking this hole was 260 and not the 275 it was playing. I'm not complaining, I just stood there and watched it launch with a smile on my face. It was a good day.
