mstuewe Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 6 hours ago, ejgaudette said: So new scoring system is up and scoring had been adjusted to the following system. Starting Speed * 0.27 + Speed Increase In looking at the data it looks like say getting to 36 points will be a good score. This will take @Golfspy_TCB needs to gain 12 mph, I would need to add 8 mph, someone @Getoffmylawn would need to add 6 mph and @edingc would need to add 5 mph while @AndySP would need to add about 3.5 mph. So I think it will come down to decimal points, so be sure to get that average of 3 wing accurate in March as it may decide the winner. I think this scoring keeps everything fair given this will only last 5 months and we have to span about 30 mph of starting speed .4 was just too high for the starting speed. Good luck everyone and lets go get it. I believe you didn’t account for multiplying the speed gains x 5. The formula is (current speed x 0.4) + (5 x speed gains) GolfSpy TCB and ejgaudette 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicerz Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 13 hours ago, Golfspy_TCB said: I have a quick question for those of you who have already been working through various swing speed protocols... the rest period between "workouts" is crucial from what I have researched (and makes sense based on working out more in my younger days...). How do you mix in your workouts with playing rounds? I try to get out and play at least 3 rounds a week.. most every Saturday/Sunday... so how would that impact the "rest" days? I know we are all in competition with each other here but was curious how you all approach this. My thought is to target initial speed workouts on maybe Monday and Thursday... so I have two days after the first workout of the week, and one rest day before my first weekend round. But then I would be coming of two rounds and the next day doing a swing speed workout. I did 2 speed workouts last week with a day rest between. I saw triple digits on the light weight rypstick at the end of the 2nd session, and saw a few mph increase on my Driver as well.. I played poorly over the weekend.... hope the two aren't related. I just decided to embrace the chaos and accept that some days I just won’t be feeling it and will have to power through. Yes that means I’ll have rounds where I just can’t get anything going right but I’ve started to realize that backing off during my tired rounds goes a long ways. Sure I lose some distance but I can always move up to a closer teebox and still have fun. For reference, I got back into the gym after an extended Covid break. That’s usually m/w/f, the Stack seems to be every 2-3 days, and I try to at least get nine in on weekdays w/ 18+ on the weekends. Sleep and nutrition have a bigger impact on me than doubling up training on a given day. ejgaudette, GolfSpy TCB and edingc 3 Quote Callaway Rouge ST Max LS 9* Driver w/ Mitsubishi Tensei Shaft Callaway Rouge ST Max 3W w/ Mitsubishi Tensei Shaft Taylormade Stealth2+ 3Hy Ping iCrossover 3i Callaway Mavrik 4Hy - Benched Mizuno JPX 923 Forged 5-AW TaylorMade Hi-Toe RAW 54-10 & 58-10 L.A.B.

edingc Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 First update for me on the final range day of the season. Looking like snow this weekend... I am about halfway through the Stack Foundations protocol and have been weightlifting, stretching and jogging a bit over the past couple of weeks since the season ended. I'm going to approach this by trying to keep my drives on the grid. Anything that is more than 30 yards left or right of target in the air is getting thrown out. I hit 24 drivers today on the Mevo+. My best three "in play" per my above rules were 116.8, 116.7 and 116 MPH. Average of 116.5 MPH, or a +2.5 MPH jump since starting the Stack. Impact did leave something to be desired as my ball speeds were less than ideal for the swing speed. Pretty sure I did set a new ball speed record on a slower swing, though: Can't wait to keep at it!

ejgaudette Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Today was one of those days were you just don't really have it. Just did not feel fast or up for the speed training, but I moved myself through it and paid attention to trying to learn what I can and say ok this is the speed for today still try to get that as high as possible, even if pbs are far off. I know I can sometimes struggle with that grind when the speed is not there and it is clearly a play for the longer term. I know we will all have those days and I know this challenge helped give a little motivation for that. So thank you everyone and tomorrow is another day to be faster.

GolfSpy TCB Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Just getting my legs under me on this challenge (pun intended). Not sure what the data means yet. Still trying figure out how to remove the governor on swinging fast... seems like it should be easier than it is. All that said, I'm seeing some gains... probably more about learning how to swing fast than building the muscles to support a faster swing at this point... it will be an interesting journey. Interestingly, after my baseline swings... I haven't been able to match my average with the beginning swings of each session yet. But I can see the protocol working as I increase the top speed with the driver from before using the RypStick in each session to after going through the protocol. As Bon Scott said... It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.

I don't discount the importance of strength and fitness (and it's something I'm working on quite a bit). But I think most of the benefit from swing speed training isn't the stick, the weights, or the specific protocols: it's the feedback from the radar. Gradually learning what is fast is so critical to getting faster. ejgaudette, Vegan_Golfer_PNW, GolfSpy TCB and 4 others 7 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 Inazone 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...
RichL85 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I was advised not to do any speed training for the first 6-8 weeks of the program I'm currently going through. Apparently I'm supposed to learn to swing correctly and use all of my body instead of just my hands before we start worrying about ramping up the speed. Realistically, I'm expecting to see a decent bump from the movement sequencing alone. My current issue is that my arms outrace the torso, so my chest rotation is from the arms pulling me around instead of the torso pulling the arms. We will see. I know I've been focusing on trying to keep my arms as patient as possible at the range and so far I'm starting to see an extra club or more of distance with a few recent tweaks. It's a struggle for me to fully click with the idea that swinging hard has nothing to do with swinging fast.

I do work through stretching and working up to a full swing prior to my speed protocol - with the radar measuring my Driver speed just before starting (which is where my beginning driver numbers come from in each session), but I may need to warm up more to your comment Andy. I also need to be better about giving myself a little break inside the sessions. I use the time it takes to swap out the weights as my "rest" but it may need to be a little longer, especially between weight changes. ejgaudette 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...

I know we are far from the oldest here (I am 34 as well) however especially in the last year or so I have noticed that my body doesn't recover like it use to and it also needs more time to just be ready. I am fortunate that I move for my work, but have had injuries to knees, back and groin this year that have slowed me down. Nothing serious, but all things that only a few years ago I would have shrugged off and pushed through and now they get a lot of care and attention as I fear making it worse. The range and golfing is the same. I give myself a extra 15 or so minutes to warm up and loosen up before hitting balls and make sure I won't overdue any particular body part prior to playing or any activity.

mpatrickriley Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Through two sessions, I'm gaining more than Kirke in our work with The Stack. I'm posting this because I never beat Kirke in golf stuff. The reality: two sessions is likely more noise than signal, and if I'm "gaining" more than him now, it's because he was more efficient to begin with.

AndySP Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 20 minutes ago, Golfspy_TCB said: I also need to be better about giving myself a little break inside the sessions. I use the time it takes to swap out the weights as my "rest" but it may need to be a little longer, especially between weight changes. I hear you. This is also something that the Stack does differently than superspeed (which I did last year). I think the algorithm updates the time between reps and sets based on performance, but no matter what the numbers are, I notice than when I get a bad/no read, and swing again without waiting the full time (20 sec-ish ?) I am a few mph slower. I think I’ve been around 2.5-3 minutes between sets lately. speed is so fickle though, and I’ve gotten unnecessarily disappointed in myself in the moment, only to find I’ve actually made real progress in retrospect.

I'm guilty of that as well. I really need to set a recurring timer to force myself into the time structure. Standing with the club or stick in my hand... 90 seconds feels like a half hour... haha. ejgaudette, AndySP and edingc 2 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...
ejgaudette Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Love to see all the progress everyone is all ready making. @GolfSpy MPR should I be adding you and Kirke to the leader board?
