ejgaudette Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Great progress everyone. I have a leader board coming tomorrow as I have today off and will be heading to a Bruins game. Love to see the work. I also heard a good note from Sasho Mackenzie on the Chasing Scratch podcast to keep it all is perspective. Speed training is about the speed you will have in two years, if you gain 12 mph in 2 years that's is a big gain, but that means gaining 1 mph every two months. So keep up the hard work, small gains are huge and will pay off in the long run.

ejgaudette Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 Awesome updates every one. So here is our latest results and jumping out into the lead with massive gains is @GolfSpy MPR working with the stack. Next up is @THEZIPR23 followed by @Vegan_Golfer_PNW rounding out the podium here. Keep up the hard work everyone and the updates coming. We now see the new mark to shoot for and right now I would say the Stack is having a strong showing a system overall. Still thinking how we can score the systems but more to come.

GolfSpy MPR Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 For those competing, some good news: I'm stalling right now I've started my second Stack program, and I still sitting just over 100mph in Stack speed. I know I have more in the tank, and that my limit is mental/technical, not physical (which is why the Stack has me in the Neural Drive program). I had a 195g swing yesterday at 106mph (definitely jealous of @Getoffmylawn's number!). For me, I have to really concentrate on a wide, full backswing, a very loose transition, and late release. When I put that together, I can jump huge amounts over my average. Just gotta find that feel more regularly. In other news, Kirke's numbers are starting to inch up. He started his Stack at 65mph and finished Foundation at 68mph. He's now doing Full Speed Spectrum, and his distance potential is up over 170 yards. We're going into this season with the intent that, for the first time, he'll be playing from an actual designated tee (the most forward tees at our course). So he's pretty pumped at adding as much distance as he can.

You talked about the competing notions of a fast backswing vs the pause at the top of the backswing to maybe help with better sequencing. Today I experimented with allowing that pause to happen, and I uncorked these PB’s plus 2 more at other weights. So, thanks! It’s amazing how responsive Sasho is, had a similar experience concerning putting. Looking forward to following Kirke’s progress this spring.

For those who didn't see my posts on Twitter that we're referring to, I wrote this: Quote I love @TheStackSystem. But I remain convinced that the single most essential item for speed training isn't what you're swinging. The most essential item is a reasonably accurate speed measuring device. The immediate feedback as to what is and is not *actually* fast is the single most important factor in 1) pushing yourself to get faster and 2) knowing that you're getting more speed, not just more effort. An example: had a great DM chat yesterday with one of my favorite golf minds, @SashoMacKenzie. I was puzzled by two paradoxical pieces of speed training advice: 1) Taking a faster backswing often provokes a golfer to generate more force and speed on the downswing, but 2) For some golfers, the feel of a pause in transition helps organize the downswing and produce more speed. What was confusing me is that, while both of these are true, they probably can't be true in the same golfer at the same time. The pause mitigates the amplifying effect of the faster backswing. So the upshot: to find out which has a better effect for *you*, you absolutely have to have the feedback that a radar provides. Swing a stick, swing a driver, swing the "infinity data, AI-powered, @chasingscratch0 endorsed" Stack. But get feedback. ejgaudette, Vegan_Golfer_PNW, GolfSpy BOS and 2 others 5 Quote TS3 9.5°, Tensei Blue CBX E722 16.5°, Tensei AV RAW Blue 65 S Epic Super Hybrid 19°, Aerotech Steel Fiber FC HYB S C722 22°, Ventus Blue 8S CBX Iron-Wood 25°, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0 Epic Forged 7 27° 639 CB, Aldila NV 95 Graphite, 7–PW Diamond Tour Innazone 3.0 50°, 54°, 58°, Aldila NV 95 Graphite DF3, Counterbalanced 37", TPT shaft, Garsen Quad Tour 17" Full WITB with pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollingGreens Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 So I have been making steady gains each week. Orange whip is at 125 yesterday at green super speed was 109. The big question I am having is my driver speed prior was roughly 98, which should have set my baseline at 113 I believe for the green super speed. My question is, am I making true swing speed gains or am I just reaching what my baseline should be by learning how to incorporate speed?

I kind of think I understand what you’re asking… Your goal and the purpose behind speed training is to raise your overall capacity for speed. In other words, if pre-training your absolute max effort almost falling over speed is 100, and your “game speed” is 95, then the goal is to raise that max effort capacity so that your cruising game speed also comes up. So, post-training ideally your max swing is 108 (for example) and now you can comfortably play at 102. This is all kind of individual though; some feel perfectly comfortable playing at 95% of all out effort, some are at 80. The point is to raise your ceiling. Is that what you’re asking? cnosil, THEZIPR23 and JohnSmalls 3 Quote Driver: TSR2, Ventus Blue 6 S, 65g Stiff FW: TSR2 3w, 15, Ventus Blue 7 S, 70g Stiff Hybrids: Apex Pro 3H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Stealth DHY 4H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Irons: SMS 5-6, SMS Pro 7-PW, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Wedges: SM9 48 F Grind, 52 F Grind, 56 M Grind, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Putter: Sri-Hot 5K Triple Wide, Stroke Lab shaft Ball: Pro V1 Click here for my HONMA TR20 Official Review!

RichL85 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Decided to do a quick check in while I was at the range today and the weather has made things tough the last few weeks. Top speed is up a little bit to 111, so that's a positive. Took some swings at a few balls to see if raising the physical ceiling was going to affect my mental barrier and saw improvement there as well. Where I was around 95 for playing speed, I was pretty comfortable hitting in the 101-102 range today.

GolfSpy_SHARK Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Insanity training going well. Added in some weight training the last two weeks. I have this 15 lb bar and have been doing some rotation core work with it. Works well in the back rotation and getting reps in trying to lift and get that extra extension. Also the initial move to the downswing. Not sure if it will help with speed but we’ll see!

Bohnson Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Hope all is well! Hit a PR with the SS C club (140). Not sure how that translates to the driver, but fun to see.

edingc Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 During my fitting yesterday I averaged right around 110 MPH swing speed (Trackman), topping out at 113.2. Well struck balls were flying with about 165 MPH ball speed. I've remarked the past few weeks that I've lost some speed since early December as a result of trying to cut some weight I put on over the holidays. First, as to not lose sight of the forest through the trees, I went back and looked at my Trackman fitting from spring 2019 during the Epic Flash test here on MGS. At that time my absolute all out swing went 103, with the majority of my drivers sitting under 100 MPH. My max ball speed during that fitting was 148 MPH. So I'm obviously ecstatic to have added that speed over the past four years. Second, regarding my nutrition, my goal over the next few weeks is to slowly ramp up my carbohydrate intake in an effort to regain some of the 3-4 MPH I lost over the past month. I was reading a pretty interesting research summary on Stronger by Science, which highlighted the relationship of glycogen storage in type 2/"fast twitch" muscle fibers. I'm continuing to make some gains in the gym with weights, but the speed has stagnated/regressed a bit since the fall. Since the start of the year my wife and I have gotten back into being lower carb more seriously (we've been low carbers for over 10 years now, but splurged a bit this past fall/holiday season) and that has correlated directly with my loss of speed. I'm hoping by introducing a few more carbs I might capture some of that lost speed while still allowing me to work on body composition. Fun little experiment to take me through the end of this challenge.

JohnSmalls Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 For those of you that are having more success with a pause at the top, is this a Hideki like pause at the top instead of a fast backswing? ejgaudette and edingc 2 Quote Gameday Vessel Sunday 2.0/ Ogio Silencer Dynapwr Carbon | Hzrdus Smoke Black Mavrik 3w | Evenflow Riptide FG Tour F5 Hybrid(20,23) | MCA Fubuki Staff Model CB 5-PW | DG 120 Vokey SM7 (50, 54, 58) | DG 120 Studio Stock 15 -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 Classic Bag Jones Collegiate Clemson Stand Bag Eye 2 Laminate 1973 Staff Dynapower 4-PW Anser DUO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
