Pretty sure it is just a ratio of length between the stack club and length of your driver. My driver was entered at 45.25"

I like that the App now shows your max speed at each weight during the session to give you a target to beat. Another nice to have detail to keep intention high with each set of swings. 

I would love to gain 5 mph if i can control a slightly longer driver. Right now playing a 44.5".

Anything I've ever read is max 2 MPH per inch increase, average 1-1.5 MPH and minimal for gain for some people. You would need to go to 46" or beyond to get anywhere close to 5.

Back on the gains train. Had driver going 107-108 on the radar with no ball after this session. Hoping I’m faster for the Titleist demo day at the end of May than the Callaway demo (95 mph). Going to take the recommendations from both of those sessions and do a driver fitting at the end of this season to compare with the releases from Ping and Cobra.

I was about 2mph difference on trackman between my TSi 2 vs. SIM Max, 0.5" difference but thats not a perfect comparison of course.

Up and down session last night with some new programming of 2 sets at light weights. Broke PB by 3 MPH at 80g and saw a large jump at 75g while using a new swing thought focussed on tempo. Unfortunately, it didn’t carry over to the driver benchmarking weight at 195g. 

After the stack protocol I did however make two swings with driver (no ball) and hit 110 on the radar both times which was a new top speed. Maybe I should get one of those Cobra FMax ultralight drivers. 🤣

Interesting to see your session 8 weights are significantly different than mine. Lots of customization happening within the app already it seems.

Kind of a frustrating session honestly. I couldn’t believe my 195g speed was the same as 220g, but I’m soldiering on. Will be interesting to see how the app adjusts to this mediocre session!

Fast day today, broke speed records by 7, 3, and 1 MPH at 235g, 120, and 195g. Didn't make the loosest swings at 195g as I was expecting to smash the record by 3-5 MPH based on other weights. Driver again topped out at 110 with no ball after the session. The pressure shift move in early backswing from AMG that @cnosil posted in his swing thread has been paying immediate dividends. 

The more I use the Stack, the more I feel it would benefit a wider population of golfers compared to SuperSpeed due to it's carryover to actual golf swings. Making 36 normal swings on your dominant side with forced rest gives you time and opportunities to make small tweaks to grip, stance, and other fundamentals to see what makes you faster. Compared to wondering if you planted a bit harder or stepped farther with SuperSpeed. Let alone worrying about losing the golf club on non-dominant swings and the number of missed reads I would get on those erratic swings. 

Between this technique change and speed training, my irons are averaging roughly 10 yards farther than last year - 150 yard 9 irons, yes please! Now I want to take a day or two off practicing in the hopes my body will have more time to remember the good swing 😂

https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/39282-cnosil-journey-to-a-better-golf-game/?do=findComment&comment=762301

Yesterday I shot a 39 with no birdies after bogeying the first 2 holes on a 9 I have never played before. It was likely my best iron play ever and first round since enhanced COVID restrictions started in Alberta. Quite amusing to see 5 straight singles playing 6 minutes apart, but finished the 9 holes in 1 hour 45 minutes which is faster than a 4some at this course. So a big win overall, compared to no golf in Ontario...

Especially funny to see people tailgating in the parking lot since 5 people can gather outdoors, just not while playing golf in the same group...

Swing felt good today, and I think I tense up for the 195g swings. All good, I’m happy with the trainer and hope to see it translate to the course!

Stage 3 transitions from “Full swing” to max speed for swing intention. Although I didn’t notice this until most of the way through my first set just about when the batteries died on my radar, which I will blame for the low speeds. 
Another round of personal bests which was also confirmed by a 112 and 113mph swing my gamer driver with no ball after the session.

I guess I completely didn't notice the full vs. max thing at any point, so I have been going pretty much max the whole time lol. Good to know.

It was difficult for me at the beginning to feel a “full swing” compared to a normal club instead of swinging the stack as hard as possible and I mostly swung close to top speed. I definitely pushed it harder today, but I was still focusing on my tempo. When I try to swing fast, my speeds drop due to poor sequencing of the transition. So that defeats the point. 
 

This I feel is a benefit of the stack, your getting realistic swing reps instead of happy Gilmore swings and doing the triple jump for super speed. 
 

Unfortunately, I need to make sure I don’t try to smash irons because it is giving me another gear. I hit an 8 iron 170 today, it’s usually my 160 club.

I hit up Sasho on Twitter about radar positioning and he was quick with his reply of “30 inches behind where you’d have the ball” which has been perfect! Swing and body felt good for tonight’s session and I’ve been using the time to ingrain the swing feels I’ve been working on as well. 
 

I continue to enjoy the straight forward structure of the training. It’s very efficient and the built in rest keeps me on track. My game has been a mess lately, so The Stack training has been nice to fall back on.

I should be done with Foundations by June and I’m curious to see if the app recommends the next training block or if I can choose what I want. We shall see!

It's been an interesting 2 weeks since my last post when I set an all time high speed. Speed was down after spending the weekend landscaping and adding a Fit for Golf workout along with the Stack. Then I got vaccinated during the week and was quite tired for 2 days including another low speed session. Was 1 day late on a Stack session and got docked 10+% in my grit score in the midst of potty training my 2 year old over the long weekend combined with snowboarding, more landscaping, and sneaking in 9 holes between 4 days of rain.

As any good OCD golf nut would, I spent a bunch of time watching Youtube videos. This time was from the guys at AMG which highlighted proper trail wrist action. Add in a little info on stance and setup from Adam Young on the Sweet Spot podcast about maximizing driver distance, along with some proper rest, and I am back in the 300 yard territory on the Stack app and carrying my gamer driver 250+ on the SC 200 in the garage. My last three 9's are 39, 49 (with a 9 on the last hole), and 40 as I begin to trust my irons are 10-20 yards longer with this new speed and committing to aiming for a draw shape (with everything but driver). 

At this point, 5 weeks into my training (16/18 workouts in the first "Foundations" program), I am 7 mph above my baseline speeds excluding my highest speed (+9mph). It seems easy to swing driver before my session at 105-106 with no ball and I am regularly hitting 110, peaking at 113 after my sessions. 

The next step is to try and free myself up to swing through the ball vs "hitting at it" and see if I can start closing the gap between 110 with no ball and my playing speed. My next in-person lesson is June 5 and hopefully identifies further tweaks for driver swing to turn the slice back into a playable fade. Driver dispersion is roughly 90 yards wide at 270 vs 50 yards wide for 2H at 230 right now. 

Setting personal bests in the Stack app, whether for a single swing or set average is as engaging as ever. I am eagerly awaiting to see what next program will be recommended based on my outputs. The software aspect (engagement/accountability, data logging, workout scheduling and customization) more than anything else, puts this system in a tier above any other speed training  product on the market until competitors develop some sort of app to go with their hardware. 

110 MPH seems like a reasonable goal for playing speed by the end of this season up from 95-100. If I am in that neighborhood, I plan on booking a driver fitting especially after gaining nearly 20 yards of carry with the Epic LS at a Callaway demo day where trackman clocked me at 95MPH on a slow day.

Today I completed the foundations program and it appears I have to complete a “progress check” which is the same protocol as the baselining when I first got the system. So, a few more days until I find out what next program is recommended. Fourth consecutive session at or above 300 yards of distance potential and a 107 calculated driver speed.

it was a balmy 80F in Calgary today and the shag ball speeds were up after the stack session. The drive below felt more like cruising speed than maxing out.

Second to last session in Foundations. Pretty solid start and was fairly consistent across the sets. 195g speed is still lower, and I really think I tense up during those sets. Regardless I’m happy I’m about to move to the next protocol!
