Is it too early in the race to make a prediction? Given how far out they start calling the President victory, I think this will be ok. After my work over the past couple days with Alison, my own work on the range and some more in the studio tonight, I have made a prediction in my average and peak driver clubhead speed today. I know, it seems a bit premature, but I am THAT confident in what I’m doing that I’m going to call the horse now.
- Within 1 month
- Avg CHS will be up from 115 mph to 120 mph ( I did that one today already but want to maintain it)
- Peak CHS will go from a previous high of 129 mph to 131 mph - Within 2 months
-Avg CHS will go to 124 mph
- Peak CHS will reach 135 mph - Within 6 months
- Avg CHS will hover around 125 mph, possibly higher, up to 127 mph
- Peak will be 137 mph
Those are big numbers and fun to think about. It’s close to where I was last year when I could warm up at 124 mph and a “bad” slow swing was 118 mph. Using RS2.0 I’m training my muscles to fire in a different sequence and it will take time for my brain to learn what I’m trying to tell it to do, but I think these numbers are very achievable, so we will see!
Just for fun (and some subliminal motivation!), I plugged the numbers into OptimalFlight to see what 125 mph of clubhead speed with a solid strike and my current launch conditions would do.
125 mph of clubhead speed will give me 183 mph of ball speed!
Chuck,
These new changes with RS 2.0 have got you as giddy as a child with new toy. I guess its nice to renew interest in something you already love, especially when it lowers the pain factor.
It’s been a long time since I was excited about something in golf this much. I’m looking forward to pounding the snot out of the ball!
318 Carry? Average? Yikes!
He better be practicing….
OK Chuck, I’m going with you on this one…….
Just back from the range and got my AVERAGE CHS with certain clubs.
Driver: 115mph
3 Wood: 105mph
19* Hybrid: 101mph
4I: 94mph
7I: 86mph
I’m gonna use these as my baseline and compare over the coming months.
Neil, those numbers are world class, that’s awesome! You’re going to have fun when you break 120!
Chuck, I hit a few out of the screws and recorded silly CHS numbers on my red SSR. I’m at the range, the SSR is stationary the whole time( hitting off mats) so I don’t know what to believe with a few of my swings!!( I didn’t count these ‘anomalous’ recordings as they would skew the averages!!). Hit a few 120mph 4 irons and a 126mph Driver…???
Every once in a while it can pick up ball speed if the ball gets moved a bit back. I just don’t count them either.
