Radar stack speed and actual driver speed don’t match

[Thoroubred golfer]

I’m a 5 handicap. Shoot between 70 - 80. My driver club head speed with ball using flight scope is 90 to 92. Total distance around 250. I bought the cheap radar monitor and started the stack program. After 3 sessions shows my club head speed 73 with distance potential 212.  Any explanation?

May be carry numbers vs total. That could help explain some of it. 

What radar did you get with the stack system? 

I know the swing speed radar with superspeed had to be placed properly else you could get misreads easily and same went for PRGR. They need to be placed in the right spot consistently else results on them will vary wildly.

Thanks.  I’ll try that

It can also take several sessions to get used to the swing speed programs. 
 

keep at it and you should see the numbers jump up as you get more comfortable.

Yeah same question .. I believe on their website they list which radars they've tested & verified that work with their product....

I think there is definitely an adjustment period with the Stack. I was in a similar situation when I started but as I got used to swinging the Stack, it actually started going the other way. It was posted on another thread (Off-season speed challenge?) but there is a video floating around about why your speeds may differ. At this point, I'm actually faster on my driver again as I'm more focused on the swing and not trying to overswing which sometimes brings in some not so great swing mechanics.

Current Stats

Stack Speed: 102

Driver eSpeed: 106

Real driver speed (no ball): 112

On course, I'm not hitting the ball over 300 yards every drive but I'll get a couple that make the distance without wind help. Average on course is around 280-290.

Just finished Neural Drive yesterday; I'll do my Progress Check Friday (if I can dig out of the snow we're supposed to get).

Also, related to my last posts, Sasho MacKenzie pointed me to this video he did on transferring speed training to actually hitting balls: 

 

Found the video I was talking about
