    Just listened to Sacho on a podcast and figured out you could see percentiles. See below

    Seems I am better at lighter weights relatively speaking - although some of the numbers are quite old now. 

    80th percentile for 195 in set terms.....91st in single swing terms (although looking at date I do 195 at end of every session and it musn't be counting that)

    That's interesting. I use the speed sticks and find I can swing the medium one almost as fast as the light one. Could never understand why

    Podcast is here. Very interesting for those that way inclined 🙂

    First program done. Nice gains if can transfer

    Progress check Sat and then next program suggestion.

    Even if only 50% of that transfers it'll be a huge gain. I use speedsticks last year. Loved the training. They are releasing an app now as well which is a lot easier. Stack well ahead in that regard.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,908 ✭✭✭alxmorgan


    I would certainly take 50%
    Yes the app is great. No thinking - just follow

    And the gamification is great. Real punch the air feelings when you beat your records

    Did Baseline update there this evening

    Driver speed up 3 mph which means 9 yards

    Not bad and if this was the progress for each program then I'd be delighted

    Next program = Neural Drive

    I'd love to try this but the apple only app is a killer because I am not forking out for an apple device on top of the price of the stack

    It's a fair point. I was lucky to get it working on a Mac as I am not iPhone either.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 474 ✭✭REFLINE1


    same, seems very shortsighted not have an android app as well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,908 ✭✭✭alxmorgan


    On the course yesterday and hard to say that any of the speed gains were visible but then can't expect that when you are not in the same postcode as the sweet spot 😊

    Did see one big one when I finally managed to hit it half decent but lots of work needed on strike methinks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,784 ✭✭✭redzerdrog


    I msged them initially and they said they would bring out a web based app but there is no sign of it how many years later so it obviously not priority for them

    Previous high single swing was 103

    Previous high set was 102 so nice jump

    sorry to revive an old(ish) thread, does anyone know if this is available in Ireland or just the website?
    seemed pretty pricey so if anyone has one of those codes laying about I’d appreciate it!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,050 ✭✭✭coillcam


    Buy it in the EU via here:

    https://thestacksystem.eu/

    Brian (PRO) in Newlands GC was mentioned here previously as selling them. No laying up's podcast has a code but try a bit of googling and you may find a better discount.

    Hi folks,

    Thinking of making an investment in this.

    @alxmorgan Would like to know if they made a noticeable difference for you this summer?

    Any other feedback from others welcome too.

    Thanks

    I couldn't get the PRGR working properly so haven't really done much with mine.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,908 ✭✭✭alxmorgan


    It definitely made a difference. I picked up at least 10 yards I would say
    I didn't quite get the transferance from speeds I saw using Stack to what I would see on course I would say

    I have been trying to switch it up a bit to solve this

    See this for ideas I am trying to incorporate

    I've never got the premium sub to the fitforgolf app but I've looked at the free stuff. It's really solid fitness content. No ridiculous routines and it's very accessible even if you're the opposite of a gym/fitness enthusiast.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 474 ✭✭REFLINE1


    If your ever thinking of shifting it on send me a PM i'd be interested.
