Cruising speed

 

Stack session 14 was the last in phase 3 of the program and saw the use of 240g, 80g and 195g all at max intent.

The two 90mph speeds either side of the 93 and 94mph swings in the 195g set didn't see me push the needle in terms of overall gains but, there were gains on the 240g and 80g sets. Not only was this visible in the reps, with a 88mph and 105mph respectively, the set averages were up to 87mph and 104mph, both of which were significant gains.

I've noticed that if I become a little more mobile (small jumps up and down on the spot) as the rest period comes to a close before starting a new set I can get moving more quickly. This along with constantly trying to widen my backswing arc without swaying too much off centre seems to be providing a recipe for improvement.

And, whilst I've said it before, the gains aren't just showing up in stack sessions, I'm definitely longer off the tee. Now, some of this comes down to course conditions improving but, most of it is swing speed and more impressively the misses aren't as big now either.

Let's keep pushing!

The journey so far...

Welcome to my blog, a place that I'll use to collect all of my thoughts and explain my golfing journey. So, let's start at the beginning - I'm Matt and I'm a golfaholic BUT whilst I'm hooked this time around (excuse the pun), the same can't be said for when I played golf in my formative years. And, to that end I believe I picked up my first golf club around the age of 7, when my Dad took the family to the driving range so he could practice his own game. I don't remember much about my golf in between then and my teenage years but I do know that I took lessons when I was around 12 and began playing a little too. The problem was, I liked it but I didn't love it. There were other things in my life that I felt deserved my time, including football and school and so I can't say that I ever really gave it my all. I can also confirm that club technology has improved dramatically in the twenty or so years since I last played, which was late in my teens, as bac...

Break 80 is back...

It's been a while since I've posted on my YouTube channel, given the challenges posed by filming in windy conditions on a links style course. However, a few weeks ago I armed myself with the camera's and did just that, whilst also trying my arm at some on course commentary too.  Let me know what you think of this style of video, as I'm thinking it might be the way forward and already have a lapel style mic setup for future efforts, rather than having to talk into the phone off camera. It's also worth bearing in mind that since my last video I've taken nearly 3 shots off my handicap 14.6 > 11.9 which bodes well for when the weather improves...
