Steady...


Two more sessions in the book on the stack before I have to take another short break from the program, as I'm going away for a few days. Both sessions saw me continue to average 93mph with the 195g, equalling 102mph eSpeed and a distance potential of 283 yards.

And whilst I'm not shifting the needle in a meaningful way with the 195g there's still progress elsewhere, which will eventually bleed its way toward the main metrics.

Hitting 94mph in the first two reps of set 5 in session 6 I thought I was going to move things forward but dropped off by trying to go faster. I know this because I swung three more times afterwards and hit 94 all three times - next time eh.. 😂

Anyway, once I'm back from this break I'm going to smash it out of the park...

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...

Absolutely Stacked

We all know that we’re slowing down as we’re getting older but as someone who took up golf again in their 40’s I already knew I wasn’t swinging as quickly as I could. Of course many accept this decline in speed and resultant loss in yardage in their stride but I’m not as accepting, I’m competitive, I always want to see improvement, even if it’s slow. If you’ve read the main post on the site you’ll know that I caused my own problem with the driver at the backend of last season in many ways. However, I’m prepared to put in the work to get back what I’ve lost and add more speed to my arsenal. Afterall, speed training, which is what I’m undertaking, is essentially about raising your ceiling so that you can cruise at a higher level on course. In order to achieve this I’ve invested in The Stack System. Now, I didn’t do this on a whim, when I’m buying something, I make sure it’s going to perform how I’d expect and the results others have seen convinced me this is the route to take. The thing ...

Sweet sixteen

  My sixteenth stack session in the foundation program was at 240g, 80g and 195g, all at max intent and whilst I didn't break through any major milestones, it does feel as if over the course of the last few sessions I've found a level. I say that because my deviation is much tighter with the 195g at the end of each set... Set 10 - 97mph Set 11 - 98mph Set 12 - 95mph Set 13 - 99mph Set 14 - 96mph Set 15 - 99pmh Set 16 - 98mph And, as you can see from the session numbers themselves there's only a couple of outliers - the 81mph in set 1 and the 98mph in set 3, everything else is really pretty tight. Once again I'll press home the point about this all transferring to the course too, as both my longest drives and averages are well up on where they have been, even when I've been playing into some pretty strong headwinds.
