GolfSpy AFG Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 16 hours ago, edingc said: Played around with a few speed feels in the garage yesterday afternoon. I was able to hit 102 with the 6 iron and 117 with the driver a few times. Nothing sustained as of yet, but some thoughts on what I'm working on in this quest. A focus for me moving forward is going to be getting more width in my backswing. I think I can grab a few MPH with that, and I also think it might solve a few other problems I've been having with my swing. For example, notice how "narrow" I am at club shaft parallel, with my hands barely passing my thigh (sorry for the rear view, I can't film face on in my garage easily): Compare that to some of the higher swing speed guys out there (Rory, Drew Cooper, Kyle Berkshire): Just something I'm going to key in on over the next few sessions. Just a thought, but the images you posted kind of look to me like maybe you could benefit from more/earlier hip turn? I see what you mean and don't disagree that getting your hands wider would be helpful, but it also seems to me that you're seeing more daylight between hips and hands in the pros images because they (especially Berkshire) have turned their hips more, whereas you look maybe still parallel to the target line in your hips? Like I said, I'm certainly no expert, but maybe food for thought... ejgaudette and edingc 2 Quote Driver: TSR2, Ventus Blue 6 S, 65g Stiff FW: TSR2 3w, 15, Ventus Blue 7 S, 70g Stiff Qi10 7w, 21, Ventus Blue 7 S, 70g Stiff Hybrids: Stealth DHY 4H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Irons: SMS 6, SMS Pro 7-PW, Accra TZ 95 stiff Wedges: SM9 48 F Grind, 52 F Grind, 56 M Grind, 60 T Grind, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Putter: EV8 Ball: Pro V1 Click here for my Edel SMS & SMS Pro Irons Official Review!

GolfSpy AFG Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Last Friday I had to do my Stack workout on a somewhat slick basketball court floor, and my speeds really suffered and maybe my motivation with it. VERY relieved and excited to hit a new set PR of 109 with the 195g set today! This time through Full Speed Spectrum has been more of a grind, but I'm pleased to see I'm still getting some benefit from it. My Grit score is about to take a hit...can't do my second to last workout until next Monday due to Thanksgiving travel. Honestly though, not too concerned...I suspect the rest will do me good. We'll see. ejgaudette, Vegan_Golfer_PNW, edingc and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: TSR2, Ventus Blue 6 S, 65g Stiff FW: TSR2 3w, 15, Ventus Blue 7 S, 70g Stiff Qi10 7w, 21, Ventus Blue 7 S, 70g Stiff Hybrids: Stealth DHY 4H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Irons: SMS 6, SMS Pro 7-PW, Accra TZ 95 stiff Wedges: SM9 48 F Grind, 52 F Grind, 56 M Grind, 60 T Grind, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Putter: EV8 Ball: Pro V1 Click here for my Edel SMS & SMS Pro Irons Official Review!

Yeah, we'll see where this goes. Some of what I've been referencing also includes the height of the hands at P2 in relation to the belt line and hands in relation to feet (which is in relation to shoulders at address). I've barely rotated my shoulders or hips at P2 and my hands are well below my waist line. Pretty sure I'm just picking the club up and setting it (which was originally a band-aid given to me by my coach to stop dragging the club under and inside a few years back). Going to try the thought of pushing a 2x4 as far back as I can with the clubhead. Hoping to get in the garage again tonight.

THEZIPR23 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Finally jumped into my training yesterday, after an embarrasing display during the club championship. Started with fit for golf off season program and the stack full speed spectrum. Yes I can feel it today. The stack started me with a progress check and one thing was super interesting to me. Without a ball I was 110-111 cruising. With a ball 107-108. Probably normal for most people however in my past Stack sessions I was always the opposite. I did have an epidural for my bulging disc's about a month ago and for the first time in over 4 years I can actually move!! Truly believe 115 will be easy and may make a push towards 120. ejgaudette, GolfSpy_SHARK, Vegan_Golfer_PNW and 1 other 4 Quote Stealth 2+ 9 (Diamana PD 60 S 45") Stealth 2+ 15 (Diamana PD 70 S 43") G425 19 (Raijin 2.0 85x) G425 22 (Raijin 2.0 85x) ZX7 5-9 (KBS C Taper S) Vokey SM9 45 10 F (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 49 08 F (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 55 08 M (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 59 04 T (KBS 610) Spider GT Splitback 34" ProV1 #23 Twitter @THEZIPR23 "One thing Golf has taught me, is that my muscles have no memory."

Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Driver speed check at 112 today on slippery grass/clay. May check tomorrow on the range since I’ll be on more stable footing. Interestingly, my stomp averages are gaining. Using my heaviest setting I’m up to 110 on avg this week (105 last week) mid weight at 117 (109 last week) and lightest staying out at 129.

GolfSpy TCB Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 So... a question for those of you who have been through speed training... how long does it take to lose what you have gained? I ask because for various reasons (including most recently a copious amount of Thanksgiving Dinner and Desserts) I haven't done my protocol sessions for a little over a week. Plan to get back on the horse today... but almost afraid of what I will find... Just curious how fast the training gains are lost without the training sessions. My last session I touched 95 with my baseline driver... which was 4.5 mph increase since starting... ejgaudette, GolfSpy_SHARK, Vegan_Golfer_PNW and 1 other 4 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...

edingc Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 As expected, somewhat of a frustrating week training for speed. Definitely out of routine and while I did not overdo myself too much with Thanksgiving food, I certainly have taken care of myself better. I had a really, really good Stack and garage session on Monday working on those feels of getting more width. I hit a couple PRs for different Stack weights and was feeling really good. Of course, I followed that up with an absolutely terrible Stack and garage session on Thanksgiving Day, where I was somehow 5-8 MPH slower across the board. Frustrating. Anyway, today's session was much better again, but still have not really made much progress with the Stack. This has also been reflected in my actual swings, which are stuck at right around 114 MPH with the driver. I have seen a small uptick in 6 iron swing speed (99 MPH is a whole lot easier to obtain now - and I'm maxing out at 102 MPH), and my ball speeds have come up as well. I also threw in a few hybrids to finish off my session. I'm hitting the ball very well right now and am really excited about that. Minus a little left dispersion with the driver I've been very happy with my path/face control. But I also really, really, really want to get to 120 MPH!

Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 My speed at the range today was the same as Friday despite better footing. I wonder if I’m not gonna see my true gains until I transition out of muscle building in the gym to more power work? I am one month out from moving to more muscle building as I transition from off-season workout to winter strength which is mostly squats, deadlifts, bench.

I think it will be better time spent and then I can lift maybe towards the tail end of the winter. ejgaudette 1 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?

I have also been starting most mornings with some yoga as well and incorporating some core work to pair with the running.

GolfSpy_BOS Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 well @Golfspy_TCB has me a little scared about falling flat on my face in this challenge so I just signed myself up for Fit For Golf so we'll see if actually working out and stretching has a positive impact on my swing speed! I'm going to be starting a progress thread for that too, but I'm on vacation starting Friday so it may be a week or so before I really start getting into it.

Looking forward to hearing how this works for you. Get some baseline measurements if you can regarding your overall fitness...maybe weight and some strength numbers, or whatever you think is appropriate. Of course I'm interested in the golf improvement but I'm curious about FFG's overall benefits to general health improvement. ejgaudette, GolfSpy_SHARK, edingc and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: TSR2, Ventus Blue 6 S, 65g Stiff FW: TSR2 3w, 15, Ventus Blue 7 S, 70g Stiff Qi10 7w, 21, Ventus Blue 7 S, 70g Stiff Hybrids: Stealth DHY 4H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Irons: SMS 6, SMS Pro 7-PW, Accra TZ 95 stiff Wedges: SM9 48 F Grind, 52 F Grind, 56 M Grind, 60 T Grind, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Putter: EV8 Ball: Pro V1 Click here for my Edel SMS & SMS Pro Irons Official Review!

Bohnson Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Is anyone doing the superspeed with the blast motion sensor? I am getting some better numbers than I would expect for my left handed swings. Just wondering if it is accurate since the sensor is in the butt of the club.
