So I finally caved and grabbed a Stack System back in March after watching my driver sit at 99-101 all last season like a coward. Paired it with the PRGR Black I already had for swing speed readouts, since that's the whole point, right? Numbers you can actually see move.
First two weeks were humbling. The app wants you to swing a weighted shaft at max effort for multiple sets and I pulled something in my ribs on day 4. Learned real fast that going 100% every rep is how you end up on the couch with an ice pack instead of on the range.
Here's the part I actually want to argue about. My PRGR reads about 3-4 mph low vs the Trackman at my indoor place. I see guys losing their minds over this constantly, posting "my radar says 92 but the sim said 96, is it broken??" Track the trend, not the number!! If you gain 6 mph on your own radar, you gained 6 mph. The absolute value is basically trivia unless you're getting paid to swing a club.
3 months in, driver is sitting around 108-110 and ball speed went 143 to 156 on my last sim session. Gains came in weird jumps too. Nothing for almost a month, then 4 mph in a single week. Bodies are dumb.
Anyone compared the Stack against Rypstick or plain old SuperSpeed sticks? And do you guys keep doing overspeed work in-season or shut it down once you're playing 3-4 times a week? I'm worried I'm going to lose the speed the second I stop.
