Thanks for your video Mr. Golf Nerd. :) Here is what I have experienced to stir into the pot. I'm a fit 69-year old, 145 lb, 5'7" male who just finished the first program (Foundation) and just this morning completed my before and after. I gained 6 MPG - from 84 to 90 - which judging from videos from Sasho is about average. I'm happy enough with my gain (if I put my fantasy to the side), BUT what I'm very happy with is what I have learned and benefited from The Stack: - the core strength in my chest and shoulders went way up (never been stronger looking) - I learned that I I have a relatively slow swing speed (what?) - I learned that I am a very conservative, careful swinger and it took me a while to really open up (still haven't fully) - a very fast backswing gives me the fastest clubhead speed - I'm very flexible for my age so I've been turning way back BUT not turning back as much means faster clubhead speeds (losing energy at top I think) - learning that my swing speed is slow-approaching-medium has me now hitting low compression golf balls with great results - I've learned to snap my wrists though the ball for greater speed (I was long and slow before) - in fact, with the GRPR device I am now trying all sorts of changes and blowing away myths that were in my head - I have average athletic ability (very good up to average but gains after are hard). People who learn and move fast will get outstanding results - the equipment and the program are outstanding - unlike other guidance where you guess on reps, this takes all the decisions off your hands - it feels authentic - not overly marketed if you watch Sasho's videos on expectation management - importantly, I'm learning to stay in balance when I swing "really hard" - results and confidence on the course is way up (yesterday I had personal best distances on two holes) - I plan to get more speed and this is spurring me onto a learning path to be more efficient in my swing - even if I don't get much more speed it's gratifying to me that I have found where my natural/practical limits are (I've done the most I can do) Overall, this the 2nd best investment I have made second only to a series of 10 lessons at the start of the year. The Stack is better investment than new driver in my opinion. It takes 'grit' - the time and place and a sense of compliance which I have right now in my life. It's not magic. I plan to continue with programs for about 1/2 year then we'll really see - I will likely hit effort/benefit sweetspot by then, but I can also see doing this pre-season to prep. One thing is for sure. I am going to go crazy and swing out of my boots with the stack on my next program starting in a few days. That's the whole point, I've been slow to learn.
Good information, but you really need to un-cross your arms! I've used the Stack myself at 68 years old. I've gone from 93 to over 100 mph and picked up a good 20 yards distance. I expect that to really change my game this summer. We'll see...
Funny thing about starting a TH-cam channel, your first 10 to 20 videos are gone awful! Really glad you got some value out of the video, but I completely recognize that my early videos were really bad. Good luck on the speed training, it works. Have a great season and thanks for the comment.
Had you ever tried doing 2 days rest break between speed training sessions? I've seen Sasho recommend it for older golfers who plateau or aren't seeing gains
I workout regularly and am not working on mechanics (did a lot of work last two years). Am considering buying stack, but worried about injuring myself. Thoughts on injury potential. I am 54.
Honestly, I got hurt more this past offseason from lifting than I did with speed training. I really think the risks are pretty low. I have heard of folks getting injured with the super speed system, but at the time their protocols had a lot more reps than the stack system. So, overall, I’d think the risk is fairly low as long as you warm up first and are in reasonably good physical health.
Do you think swing training can help your game? Do you think the Stack System is worth the price tag? I'd love to hear your thoughts on swing speed training!!
I don’t keep a handicap, so it’s difficult to say for certain. My gut says it didn’t improve my scores as a result of stacking though. I don’t think stacking made it worse either, i just added distance to the same dispersions. This past season I started working with a coach to address some long standing errors in my swing. My take after both routes, get your swing in a good place, not perfect but mechanically sound and then add swing speed training. Thanks for the question!!

- the core strength in my chest and shoulders went way up (never been stronger looking)
- I learned that I I have a relatively slow swing speed (what?)
- I learned that I am a very conservative, careful swinger and it took me a while to really open up (still haven't fully)
- a very fast backswing gives me the fastest clubhead speed
- I'm very flexible for my age so I've been turning way back BUT not turning back as much means faster clubhead speeds (losing energy at top I think)
- learning that my swing speed is slow-approaching-medium has me now hitting low compression golf balls with great results
- I've learned to snap my wrists though the ball for greater speed (I was long and slow before)
- in fact, with the GRPR device I am now trying all sorts of changes and blowing away myths that were in my head

- it feels authentic - not overly marketed if you watch Sasho's videos on expectation management
- importantly, I'm learning to stay in balance when I swing "really hard"
- results and confidence on the course is way up (yesterday I had personal best distances on two holes)
- I plan to get more speed and this is spurring me onto a learning path to be more efficient in my swing
- even if I don't get much more speed it's gratifying to me that I have found where my natural/practical limits are (I've done the most I can do)

This is awesome!
It helped me. Driverspeed went from 93 mph to 105 mph.
That’s awesome! Did you use the stack?
Yes!
Thanks for sharing your experience with TheStack System. Very helpful.
My pleasure!! Thanks for the feedback!
My only gripe is I have to buy a golf radar with this
It’s a considerable investment upfront for sure!

@@TheGolfNerd Totally understand. Been there myself!
Had you ever tried doing 2 days rest break between speed training sessions? I've seen Sasho recommend it for older golfers who plateau or aren't seeing gains
Yes I have and I’ve seen some success doing it. Odd you ask, I just restarted my training today!!

Thanks. I bought one. Just did the intro session. Start the protocol Monday😅
@@RajSharma-yi9io I’d love to hear how it goes!

Nice job!
Thanks Kurt!!!
Has your handicap come down?
I don’t keep a handicap, so it’s difficult to say for certain. My gut says it didn’t improve my scores as a result of stacking though.
