I don't recall exactly when the second jump occurs - I believe some time late in the 2nd level (which is rapidly approaching)? What confuses me is that the green and red sticks have been mostly stagnant since the very first session. There have been a couple spikes, but after so many swings now, I believe they were bad measurements on the radar as I've never seen them again. There has been some consistent progress with the blue stick, though. While these things confuse me, all that really matters, I suppose, is progress with the driver on the golf course. I saw the first jump pretty early and my "before" swings are essentially the same as after now and on the course has worked out really well. My concern with the lack of progress with the sticks is whether I am delaying the second jump or if I'm totally stuck. I don't really know. That's why I'm going to reach out to Kyle at SuperSpeed.

@MaxEntropy thanks for sharing this with everyone. Just responded to the email which was very helpful. The videos especially gave us some troubleshooting ideas right away. Blake has done an awesome job here and wanted to circle back on that discussion on the speed of the backswing. Feel free to post a video Blake if you’d like but in short Blake was one of those that a faster backswing would really help. Remember it’s not for everyone as it can mess with timing but in this case we highly recommended to give it a go. 
Here is a video explaining it further. For those already seeing good gains with the protocols no need to add this but it could be helpful for some.

From the time I was fit into my Mavrik irons in March to now I’m seeing at least a 6-8mph difference. I was barely touching 70 mph and the majority of my fitting shots were around 68/69 mph. A couple days ago when I went in I was consistently hitting 76/78 mph on my 7 iron.

Very nice improvement

was not able to make it to the fitter as I said yesterday, I intend on going today and will get the list of what I tried. 

I messaged my fitter/coach and got the list of what we tried. 

I was in a Project X catalyst 55 lite flex 

Project X Catalyst 65 and 75 reg flex -  dispersion and feel of the 55 was why I came back for the fitting and did not get what I was looking for from these two.

Aerotech FC 80-  really liked the feel of this shaft and was in the running, but when I was working through eliminating shafts , I could not find anything that compared to the KBS 80 r steel I settled on. this was close. Pretty significant price tag difference as well. 

Tensei 60 -  hated the feel and dispersion , not able to say anything good about it, just did not work for me. 

UST Recoil ESX 460 -  another close contender-  went into the fitting wanting to go to this shaft based on some reading and research I had done prior to going to the fitting and it did not disappoint. really good option. 

6 different graphite  shafts including the one I use now,  spent a good hour going back and forth 5 shots at a time between these shafts and the couple steel ones and time after time the KBS 80 just won. I actually went in close minded wanting to stay in graphite and I wanted to the UST , but results and data changed my mind. hard to argue with what the GC was saying.

Really nice, I am glad you were able to get the best shaft for your swing, despite wanting something different.

For reference, here are the swings I sent to SuperSpeed:

Normal swing (120, 121, 120 mph) - 

Step-change (119, 119, 117 mph) - 

In the email, as above, Kyle suggested I aim to double the speed of my backswing so I get more of a "rebound" effect. He also suggested a couple tests to diagnose potential flexibility issues that may be hindering weight transfer and stability.

Stay tuned....

I just spent a little bit of time reviewing the data in the spread sheet, over 7 miles per hour faster speeds in average for the first round is absolutely impressive.

I know that are a lot more variants to be considered but by all means those are more yards off the tee.

First round with shotscope in the books. Bombs confirmed.

Awesome! Was dispersion as expected?

[B.Boston 9,372]

Haven’t checked in here in a while but I had something happen on the range yesterday that was most certainly a first for me...

Wish I could believe it was true!

My fastest dry swing with driver has been 117 with most actual hitting swings 108-111 max.  Now, I’m not ruling out the possibility that it was accurate, considering the tee doesn’t move and that’s clearly not ball speed... but I also doubt it.  However, there is now video proof on the internet (so it must be true!).  

Keep swinging fast guys!  I’m enjoying all the updates from the testers and feedback from SuperSpeed on this thread!

Nice! My PRGR read 165mph driver speed on the first ball I hit on it. I’ll take it. The Incredible Hulk speed is now mine!

It did seem to carry further than the others... but I’m really just happy it was straight! Haha

I've got to make this one of my next purchases, too many positive results happening!

Hey everyone! Just got my sticks today and started on day 1 of the first session. Saw some pretty cool gains right off the jump. 

A question I had...does anyone do their sessions on concrete? I managed to dig up a decent amount of grass by swinging as hard as I was trying to. 

Any other tips if concrete is a bad move?

[ChasingScratch 1,532]

Here are my top 10 swings from the GC Quad session.  By good, I mean the ones that didn't have 3,500+ rpm of backspin and weren't push-faded 50yds right of target.

I'll be finishing up my Level 1 Week 6 video and making a shortened video of the GC Quad session soon.  I've got to get some range time in to hit the middle of the face more often, otherwise all the speed is pointless.

This is sweet! What shotscope did you?

Can always snag a piece of carpet or buy a hitting Mat?

On a few days where the grass was still wet or was snow covered I did the drills on my driveway but swung the club over the grass.

I'm going to recommend a big fat NO on swinging on concrete.  People have reported hitting the ground on accident and that can really scratch up the speed sticks, not to mention bad vibrations (not good ones like Marky Mark said) up your arms, wrists, and hands.

That was my fear...

We are moving soon to a townhouse with no grass but a pretty large garage. Will probably pick up a strip of turf to put under the club but will stand on the concrete.
