I'm glad you're in. You didn't want to wait until Friday for the deal?

If you're starting off with the 18 months (which is under $300), it doesn't matter I guess.

 No, I just did the deal you offered. The $30 off for 6 months.

I just emailed them seeing if they can change my choice. 😊

25% off the 12 month deal today, which makes it the same monthly if you want to look at it like that as the 18 month one.

I didn't get the bicep strap. The strap for the wrist is very comfortable. If I don't pay attention to it, for the most part I don't even notice I am wearing it. Way better than my Fitbit I use to have.

Well, I am glad I can confirm my sleep efficiency is good. I scored a 91% with my Oura Ring and a 95% with the Whoop. Both show over 1-1.5 hours of deep sleep over a total of 7 hours of sleep.

How is your recovery? Or do you have a few more days to calibrate that?

I need a few more days to get an accurate measurement.

The only thing I noticed about the wrist strap is that it dried my skin out really bad right there. I believe it was from sweating during workouts and what not but it dried it out bad. I moved it to the bicep and really never have a clue I am wearing it except when taking my shirt on and off.

Yeah I don't notice it even then, really. The time I notice it the most is once every 5-6 days when I have to put the battery on it for half an hour… and I'm wearing a sweatshirt. 🙂

just got my strap, and joined the team.  Really curious to see all this data about myself.

I switched wrists I wore it on. It was bothering me a bit. Hope that doesn't mess with the numbers. I don't think it would.

My recovery is pretty decent. 4 out of the last 5 days I had recovery around 80%.

I need to read up on how to improve my numbers. So far, I have just been watching the numbers to see the trends. My recovery today was 78% and I believe that is the highest it has been.

    • Day 199: did a stack session. 
    • As usual, this is difficult to answer without seeing your swing. So, my first suggestion is to start a My Swing Thread.  After that, my next best guess is that you fade (slice) your driver more than your 3-wood.  I once played with a guy who had such a glancing blow with his driver that I could out drive him with my 6 iron.  Get with a good instructor and learn to hit your driver properly. Even with 93 mph swing speed you should be able to hit your driver 210-230. 
    • I recently returned to golf and got a Swing Caddy SC300i. It has confirmed what I have suspected for some time - I hit my 3 wood as far as my driver. This is backed up by similar swing speeds of 93 MPH. I have had 6 months off golf and exercise, so my speed is down a bit on what it was. Driver is 12 degrees, D1, Cobra 70g stiff shaft. 3 wood is 15 degrees, D0, Cleveland Gold 65g stiff shaft. The 3 wood feels great to me and flies straight. The driver feels dead to me and tends to slice. A local pro thinks the shafts are both a little on the soft side of stiff (which suits for me). The only difference I can see is the driver total weight is 340 grams and the 3 wood is 320 grams. My question is what is going on? Surely 20 grams should not slow my driver down to the same swing speed as my 3 wood?
