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. 

I just go to a big open field in our neighborhood. Don’t have to worry about ruining my nice lawn.

Here is my Level 1 - Week 6 summary video.

I'm beyond excited to continue this journey.  Seeing the hard work validated on GC Quad was very satisfying and has me desiring to keep pushing the envelop of what this body can do!

I really want to see 180mph ball speed.  To do that I'm going to have to find the middle of the club face, stop sliding, and square it all up at impact. 

That is my goal for next time I get to hit on the launch monitor after Level 2.  What are your goals?

@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.

 

Thanks for posting that, it was really interesting.  I've already completed my swings today, but will experiment with this a bit next week.

Last winter I was swinging on concrete in my garage - at times I felt like I was unintentionally holding back a little - partly because of what @ChasingScratch mentioned about banging up the sticks and partly because the ceiling is just low enough that I am aware of it when swinging.  I think if you get a good sized mat you'll be fine.  Not sure why I didn't think of it for myself, I did nick the floor a couple of time (luckily I swing pretty slow, so no actual damage  ).  Too cold here in the winter to swing out doors late November until late March/early April.

Alright fellow spies!  Here it is!  My Level 1 Post-test video on GC Quad with stickers on the club face (ultimate accuracy).  The video starts with an overview of thoughts, then we get into the good (bombs), then the bad (push fades off the planet).  My fitter shares his thoughts as well.  I hope you enjoy!

I took the afternoon off and played with @MattF. Although I had a couple high flares off the planet (I love the phrase, @ChasingScratch, totally appropriate). As usual, the flares happened in exactly the wrong circumstances when there is nothing but trouble right. I started hitting some decent drives later in the round. The hole below was probably the best combination of shots I put together. It's been a while since I covered 513 with two shots, especially since they were exactly where I was aiming. I also birdied two holes today. I can't remember the last time I had more than one in a round.

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.
 

GOOD LAWD!
That is some serious distance! What’s your driver set up?

Thanks! Now if only my putter could catch fire I’d be scratch instead of ChasingScratch...

I had a very long day today. Got up at 6, drove 3 hours to southern Ohio to watch my oldest daughter compete at a fancy horse show, which meant I stood around in the sun for 4.5 hours. Then I drove home. I really had little motivation to do the protocol, but needed to do it to stay on schedule. I made every effort to have a much faster backswing, as @SuperSpeed Golf recommended. Numbers were basically the same right-handed and set some PB's left-handed. Timing was off on the step-change, but I'll figure that out. Given how tired I am, I consider it a success to reach "normal" speeds. I'll get another video on Monday and try to put side-by-side to see how much faster the backswing is.

By the way, after the round yesterday, my Arccos smart distance is up another 7 yards for a 20 yard total improvement. I'll take it.

Any more thoughts on PRGR setup from the group? I feel faster. Some of these swings just make an absurd whoosh, and I’ve seen 119mph with my driver once after the protocol. Typically though it always hovers at 110-111, and it’s making me curious if I’m not getting the proper aspect angle with the PRGR. Thoughts?

I’ve experimented all over the place honestly. Raised off the ground, at ball position facing me (never get it to read that way), but the one that seems to be the best now is angled 45* towards my front door a little behind where ball position would be.

So think of where you would tee up a ball with driver, then put it about 6” back of there and angled towards the front door about 45*

It’s either that or regular down the line position but I have to make a cut swing path.

Definitely better than trying to put all of that into words. Picture is worth a thousand words and all that.

Oh I was saying let me know if putting the PRGR in that position makes it read your swings more accurately. Not sure if I’m reading your post correctly or not.
