Popular Post ejgaudette Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hope the mods don't mind me taking and putting MGS in the title, but as mentioned by a coupe folks in the off season work speed training is a big theme. I decided lets turn it into a friendly competition so here it is. The MSG Off-Season Speed Challenge. The game is simple, before you start speed training, take 3 swings w/o a ball (my own rule since I can't hit balls in the winter and even March 1 will be too early) to get you baseline speed. Just post it in the thread and I will add you to the leader board. Then we will have until March 15th to get the speed as high as possible. In and around March 15 we get your new speed and the person with the largest percent increase wins (just pride not prizes). Of course we want to here about how the training is going through out the off season. Tips you have found, helpful videos, workout guides that you are using to reach you peak speeds. Would be great to get at least monthly check ins and I will keep an up to date leader board on here for folks. Thanks @Getoffmylawn and @Vegan_Golfer_PNW for hopping on board early. Let the speed begin so next year we can all be hitting bombs like these.

ejgaudette Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 I will also start with where I am at. I will baseline in a bit, but my goal is to hit a new personal best of 116 mph by the spring. To accomplish this I am using my super speed training with the PRGR as the foundational speed training. Also will be adding in workouts, trying to figure out if I can use some gym space and start some Fit For Golf training, if not I still have some weights at home I can use to work on things, though it will have to be modified. I plan to complete speed training 3 days a week and weight training 2 to 3 days a week as well. I also currently do daily yoga for core and mobility so I plan to keep that up.

RichL85 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Why not, I'll join in. I will get some baseline numbers tomorrow during my assessment. I'm probably going to also create a separate topic to document my newest investment into my game which should be starting tomorrow. Hoping for some extra speed is just a part of that, so we will see where it can go. I'll have a bit more of an idea what all will be involved in the process for me after the initial meeting.

Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 109 today. Ditto what you say @ejgaudette. 3 days a week of fit for golf (3 weeks into the offseason program). So far in maintenance mode for speed work but will start another 6 weeks in probably a month and then back into maintenance mode. Goal is to max near 120 with a cruising speed of 112-115 GolfSpy_BOS, GolfSpy TCB, ejgaudette and 3 others 6 Quote Follow my journey to enjoying golf and going low Driver: Epic Max LS TD Cat 4 60g 3wHL: Rogue ST LS 75x Tensei AV Blue w/ xlink 7w: Apex UW 21* MMT 80S DI: Caley 01X 18* with PGH Stiff plus 95g 4-AW: 0211 with Tour Stiff 2.5* up 3/4" long, Soft stepped, MOI matched Wedges Zipcore Putter:Directed Force 2.1 69*/35" in blue Ball: Prime 4.0 Shot Tracking: Bag: Vessel VLX 2.0 Grip: Lamkin Sonar + Midsize Glove: My Reviews: Caley 01X Driving Iron Review 2023 Max Swing Speed Training and Speed Progress: Current Speed 120 in the MGS Speed Challenge (updated 3/15/23) TAIII #2 Review here: TAIII Impact #2 Putter ) Zipcore Tour Rack 54/full and 58/mid (review here) 0211 2019 Unofficial Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy TCB Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Just did a little math to see what I'm up against... @ejgaudettebaselined at 104 and has a goal of 116 - that is 11.5% increase @Vegan_Golfer_PNWbaselined at 109 and has a goal of 120 - that is 10.1% increase So to stay ahead of them... I need 11.6% increase... so at my current swing speed of 90.5 - that means my goal is 101 mph. ejgaudette, Bohnson, GolfSpy_BOS and 1 other 3 1 Quote Titleist TSR3 9* (A2 setting) Driver - Graphite Design Tour AD UB-5 R1 Titleist TSR2+ 3 Wood - Graphite Design Tour AD UB-5 R1 Srixon ZX 5W Callaway Paradym 4-PW Titleist Vokey SM9 50-08, 54-10 & 58-08 Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport 2.5 2023 Titleist ProV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_BOS Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 too funny! we were sort of talking about some off-season speed tracking at our last mod meeting. I was thinking a Stack vs SuperSpeed thing, but this will work as well! I'm curious if we'll have anyone sort of try their own thing and see how that works out vs a program like the other two. You can count me in, but if I took my baseline swings right now I'd be down in @Golfspy_TCB territory while I'm on the mend for a small procedure and am not supposed to exercise. I wouldn't want to be accused of sandbagging. ejgaudette, GolfSpy TCB and GolfSpy_SHARK 2 1 Quote Qi10 - Terra Forza White | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | G430 3-Hybrid - Kai'li White 80s SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 Mezz Max | Pro V1x | Vortex Blade | Ghost Maverick Black Ops - Forum Edition | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy_BOS Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I'll have to figure out the best way for me to record my swings. The swing speed radar is probably less accurate overall (it seems to read about 3MPH faster than my Rapsodo does) but doesn't need to use balls. I now have a garage to do training in over the winter, and I've been looking at different fitness options anyway as I have some covid... and hell some pre-covid pounds I'd like to shed. Overall goal is going to be seeing ball speed over 160. I haven't hit that yet and I really want to. 158 has been the highest I ever got on Rapsodo with my average good shot closer to 153.

GolfSpy_SHARK Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 In! Thanks for coming up with this @ejgaudette I am much slower than last year or the year before. I have done some speed training and has for sure helped my day to day swing ill get some speeds this week maybe tomorrow before my round should be around 109/110. My goal would be to get back up to where I was but with control, 120. will be doing speed training and once my gym is set up will be doing mostly pliometrric drills with lighter weight, I feel my best when doing that and feel like I can easily get to the 120 range without any real heavy weight training. ejgaudette, sirchunksalot, GolfSpy TCB and 2 others 5 Quote Check out my reviews: G710 Irons Official Review I MC Shaft & V Series Putter Official Review 2022 Forged Tec's Official Review I Nitron Push Cart Official Review WITB: Weapons of grass destruction (link to WITB) Traverse is filled with all this shiny metal and tracked by RadSpeed 8* - MotoreX F1 6X SIM 3W - Project X HZRDUS Green U505 Driving Iron 17* - Project X HZRDUS Black SpeedZone 4H - Project X HZRDUS Black 2022 King Forged Tec's 4-PW - KBS $ Tape 130 48 (SM8), 52 & 60 (SM7) - Nippon Modus 125 S ER2VI PROV1X #19 Are you a veteran?

ejgaudette Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Glad to get some interest on this one so thanks @GolfSpy_BOS , @Golfspy_TCB, and @Lacassem. I will get those baselines into my sheet as they come in. Also great to see I have super speed, @Golfspy_TCB has Rypstick and if @Getoffmylawn gets in on the action we will have The Stack represented as well. So another fun sub-plot. which program makes the biggest jump. Look forward to following along with everyone and I think I might be sending another prize to the winner to up the stakes just a bit.

I use a PRGR, I got with my Super Speed sticks as a package set. They still offer this bundle. I find the PRGR to be pretty reliable without too many wild readings and when I have been on a Quad speeds were very close. I know @GolfSpy_BOS has the blue sport radar which tends to read a bit high and bit more erratic, though based on what you said @GolfSpy_BOS is you are only losing 3 between that and the Rapsodo with hitting balls you unit might not be that far off.

I also have the PRGR to check speed with. For the most part it is relatively close, but it does give the odd weird reading. It seems to pick up swing speed without a ball with very little trouble, sometimes the ball is what causes the problem. I've noticed it can also be a little finicky about interference from other devices. The numbers tend to be a bit more erratic if I have earbuds in listening to music for example. I have the SuperSpeed protocol I can follow, but I'm also going to be working with a separate program that I will go into some more detail on once I get the information on Friday. Will have to discuss whether the SuperSpeed protocol would be a good thing to follow or if I should focus on the changes that we might be making first. Going to require some work on my part for sure. ejgaudette and GolfSpy TCB 2 Quote Driver: Titleist GT3 w/ GD Tour AD VF 6S (Testing in progress) 3 & 5 Woods: Titleist GT3 w/ GD Tour AD VF 7S (Testing in progress) Hybrids: 19 and 22 degree PXG 0317XF Gen 4 w/ Project X Evenflow Riptide 80g Irons: 5-PW PXG 0311P Gen 4 w/ KBS Tour 120 Wedges: Indi 50 FLX, 54 FLX, 58 ATK w/ KBS Wedge 610 (Official Review) Putter: PXG Battle Ready Blackjack, 36.5”, Double Bend neck Titleist GT Long Game Testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin2win Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I was going to start my winter SS training next week, so this is perfect. I'm in. But I need to read the fine print clarifications. are we going for increase in cruising speed swings or just all out who cares if the ball leaves the property swings? Right now with gc3 hitting a ball I'm at 99, with radar and no ball I'm at 101. ejgaudette 1 Quote WITB: Driver: SIM2 Max 12° - Accra TZ6 M4 FW Wood: Gen5 0311 7w Fujikura Motore X F3 Irons: ZX7 PW-7i, ZX5 6i-5i Wedges: Zipcore 50°, 58° Putter: MySpider X Cart: Onewheel XR+ Ball: Z-Star Diamond/ Z-Star XV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assumption that actual playing speed will be less than the absolute top speed. The original post says average 3 swings without ball.

AndySP Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Very cool. I just did a baseline two weeks ago, does that count? I’m hoping to finally get over 120 by the time spring rolls around. Started getting better about adding in some strength/power so hopefully this is the time. ejgaudette and GolfSpy_APH 2 Quote g430 lst TS2 20* hybrid, New Level PF-2: P-7; 902: 6-5 hi-toe 51* and 57* M Craft IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I need to read the fine print clarifications. are we going for increase in cruising speed swings or just all out who cares if the ball leaves the property swings? Right now with gc3 hitting a ball I'm at 99, with radar and no ball I'm at 101. Well I can't hit balls with my speed training so no ball is fine and I was going pretty hard on the baseline yesterday so top speed works for me, still just average of 3 swings. 9 hours ago, AndySP said: Very cool.

GolfSpy AFG Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Thanks for starting it @ejgaudette! Sign me up at 109 for a starting swing speed. As to what the goal is, I think we're just after a new "without a ball speed" and the winner of this competition is the one who's new all out top end speed represents the biggest jump from their baseline number they post here to start. (Right?) I do have a few other questions...will there be a drug test? Cuz if not I'm about to start the horse 'roids to get this forum badge. Goal wise I'd love to hit a top end in the mid-120s...don't know how realistic that is but go big or go home right? And yes, I'm happy to represent the Stack, although I'm hoping to see @edingcget in the mix here too!

Also I cannot think of any better reason to roid up than for an MGS badge. And I might be procuring an even better prize.
