The Stack System - A Conversation on Gaining Swing Speed

[4zim]

Finished the full speed spectrum. Long interruption and the last two sessions had a significantly delay. 

What’s the difference between the Cruiser and Flex programs? I will likely do one of the two next as the golf season begins and my ability to stick to a speed program every 3 days is less.

Here is a description of all the programs:

Programs and Training TheStack is a personal swing-speed trainer for golfers. Initially, each golfer is piloted through a series of swing speed tests to generate a force-velocity profile of their current swing. Qualitative data is...

I think cruiser is meant for maintaining speed and flex can do more than that. But I'm just basing that on the descriptions that I linked.

Most importantly, I don't think the Mevo is all that accurate with the swings. Around maybe 20% of the time, I'm getting misreads or no readings. For a misread, I mean around 10 mph under what I would expect.

My experiment with the Mevo might be over after my last session. When it works, my instinct is that it's pretty accurate. But when it doesn't work, it's pretty terrible. I've had multiple times where 2 consecutive swings are 15 mph different. My 4th and 5th swings with 195 grams last night registered as 97 mph and then 112 mph. Finally, my set with 195 went from 106 to 96 between 2 sessions. Neither of those changes make sense. And there's 0 chance I actually had a 96 mph set with the 195 gram weight. 

I hope a future firmware update will make the Mevo better, but I will probably go back to the swing speed radar for now.

I ended up going with cruiser. I think your description is right and flex is a bit more demanding. Hard to fit it all in right now so cruiser seems better for me to sustain the habit during the season and while making technique changes on evolvr.
