    Today I’m speaking with Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, co-founder of The Stack System, an innovative training tool that applies principles from the world of track and field to improve your clubhead speed in an efficient and measurable way.

    “I like to use the Stack to reinforce positive swing mechanics,” says Dr. MacKenzie.

    Listen in as he explains how the The Stack System targets the force of the grip to measure swing speeds, and how its personalized app offers real-time feedback and actionable data to the user, making the program an indispensable training companion.

    We then explore success stories and the transformative potential of The Stack System. With the top 5,000 users gaining an average of 12 miles per hour, and a recommended gain of 6-10 miles per hour from the 6-week foundation program, we discuss what golfers can expect from using the system over time.

    In the same vein, Dr. MacKenzie also addresses the minority of users who may struggle with lack of control over their swing speed, particularly at max-level, offering advice and solutions for overcoming their limitations.

    We then talk about how The Stack System can be applied in various training environments and climates. We focus especially on how it can be beneficial for female golfers looking to add aggression to their game.

    Finally, Dr. MacKenzie and I discuss the program’s Stack Putting System and how its progressive training structure can help you minimize your putting biases over time, whether you’re struggling with speed or direction.

    About The Stack System:

    TheStack is a golf speed training system used to biohack your clubhead speed. It’s been used successfully by Tour players at all levels and hundreds of amateurs of all ages and abilities. TheStack was co-founded by biomechanist Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, the research practitioner behind the world’s top golf coaches, and Marty Jertson, a golf generalist, a PGA of America member, and a named inventor on over 125 patents in the golf industry.

    142. Distance Series: HOW to Get the Distance You Want with Lisa Longball
    Jul 22 2024
    Justin Klemballa and I sit down with 8-time Canadian long drive champion Lisa Longball. Together, we unpack the three primary mistakes stopping women from gaining more distance in their golf swing and how to fix them! We also discuss Lisa's personal training schedule, why muscle memory is way more important than muscular strength, and the vital role of rest in achieving peak performance. We also explore the significance of tempo and having a mental routine alongside a physical one. Lisa shares her insightful personal experiences as a world-class athlete, including her triumph of hitting the longest drive in women's golf history, and what she did to gain the highest swing speed she's ever achieved. 3 Reasons You Lack Distance in Your Swing (and What to Do Instead) (06:47) Reason 1: You’re an arms lifter. Because women are naturally more flexible than men, it’s easy to think you’re turning when you’re really just lifting your arms. Lisa recommends looking at your body in two parts: the upper body and the lower body. During the backswing, start with your lead shoulder, forcing you to turn your chest turning away from the ball. On the other hand, during the downswing, maximize the coil and torque you’ve built up by leading with your lower body. (09:25) Reason 2: Your golf swing sequence is flawed or lacking. “Turn the shirt” on the backswing, freeze, then “turn the skirt” on the downswing. The best way to make this sequence second nature is by practicing dissociation drills, as well as training to move your weight to the instep of the back foot when transitioning from the backswing to the downswing. (18:43) Reason 3: You don’t finish the golf swing. Most golfers put all their focus on hitting the ball, so that once they make contact, they begin to decelerate and fail to maximize distance as a result. Your clubhead should be at its fastest not on the ball, but three feet past the ball. Always keep this in mind: Hit through the ball, not to the ball. About the Guest: Lisa Longball is an 8-time Canadian long drive national champion and has finished as high as 2nd in the world. She is an LDA Tour champion and Callaway Golf sponsored athlete. In addition to her competitive career, Lisa is a Golf Journalist for several publications including Inside Golf Magazine and has had her own column in Golf Digest Canada. Lisa uses her vast experience as a World Class athlete to be a successful keynote Peak Performance Speaker at conferences and conventions, is a Golf Entertainer for many corporate/charity golf tournaments across North America including PGA Tour and Champions Tour events and runs her own Golf School for Women both in Canada and the United States.

    Jul 18 2024
    Could your swing speed be holding you back? Join us for the second of our three-part distance series as Andrew Hannon and I uncover the essential steps to boosting your clubhead and ball speed. We discuss why it’s crucial to work with a swing coach to create a technique plan and set baseline metrics like your smash factor. We also stress the importance of setting realistic goals and using radar tools or launch monitors, such as the PRGR, to track your progress. You’ll learn how integrating high-intensity practice sessions can push your limits and help enhance your speed. Next, we talk training routines that can elevate your overall golf performance. Discover how to strategically blend gym workouts, short game practice, and speed training into your schedule for optimal results. We highlight the importance of balancing strength, mobility, and flexibility–and especially how these attributes impact female golfers. Finally, we delve into various golf speed training techniques, starting with the "Three Strike Method" and a comprehensive 15-swing driver practice routine. You’ll understand the benefits of consistent, high-intensity practice on the range and how it translates to faster, more reliable swings on the course. We also explore the benefits of training barefoot to enhance foot and ankle mobility as championed by US Open winner Wyndham Clark. Rounding things off, Andrew answers questions from our community, offering valuable advice to golfers at all levels! About Andrew Hannon Andrew is a golf fitness instructor who has coached multiple PGA and LPGA champions. He advocates for a holistic approach to health, emphasizing sustainable habits, nutrition, and a positive mindset. He’s a big believer in adapting the philosophy of better overall movement in individuals through mobility, flexibility and strength training.

    140. Distance Series: WHY is Gaining Distance So Important with Lou Stagner
    Jul 11 2024

    Could a mere 10 yards make all the difference in your golf game? Join us for the first of our three-part distance series as Lou Stagner and I discuss how gaining distance leads to lower scores!

    Drawing from 600 shots worth of data from the Arccos database, we break down real-world examples and insights showing the benefits of speed training and fitness programs aimed at boosting mobility and strength, giving you practical steps to add those vital extra yards.

    Imagine improving your strokes gained off the tee simply by increasing your driving distance by 5% year over year. 94% of golfers have done just that, and we're here to bust the myth that more distance means fewer fairways hit.

    With data from PGA Tour players since 1983, we discuss how speed training can actually enhance your swing mechanics, leading to straighter and more efficient shots. Our conversation shifts the focus from accuracy to the importance of avoiding penalties, to take your course management to the next level!

    Finally, Lou and I are talking custom-fitting and how homing in on your ideal club fit can improve your performance by leagues. From adjusting driver shafts to tweaking grip sizes, discover how minor changes can yield major improvements.

    About Lou Stagner

    Lou is a golf performance coach, the host of the “Hack It Out Golf” podcast, an assistant golf coach at Princeton, and the Data Insights Lead at Arccos Golf–the PGA Tour’s on-course tracking system of choice. A self-described “golf nut and data nerd,” Lou has become a thought leader in the golf data space by combining a lifelong passion for the game with his background as a business intelligence and analytics executive.

    139. From Local Greens to the LPGA Spotlight: 15 Year-Old, Ashley Shaw, is Just Getting Started
    Jul 1 2024
    I’m sitting down with JGAA junior golfer Ashley Shaw and her mom, Sylvia, to look back on Ashley’s remarkable journey from local competitions to the LPGA Founders Cup! Ashley recalls the moment she found herself leading the scoreboard during the tour, completely unaware of her live-scored triumph. Sylvia opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of caddying for her daughter, painting a picture of her unforgettable experience of watching Ashley claim her place among the pros. We also take a closer look at what distinguishes professional golfers from amateurs, from course management to club selection. Ashley discusses her mental approach to handling pressure while Sylvia shares her newfound caddying insights and the unique pressures of different competitive formats. Finally, Ashley gives us a look behind the curtain at her athletic upbringing, her multi-sport talents, and the tight-knit family dynamic that was (and still is) essential to her success. Meanwhile, Sylvia reflects on balancing sports with homeschooling and the rigorous planning required for junior golf events.

    138. Taking on Course Management to Break 80 this Summer with Scott Fawcett of Decade Golf (Part 2)
    Jun 24 2024
    I’m back with Scott Fawcett, founder of the DECADE Course Management System, to get the ins-and-outs of his unique approach to breaking 80 this summer! This time, we’re really getting into the weeds of course management strategy. Scott highlights the limitations of traditional stat tracking and the benefits of focusing on metrics that truly reflect your game, while examining the relationship between putting and overall scoring. We discuss the power of keeping a “mental scorecard” and why it’s so important to have a clear intention for each shot. For golfers averaging scores in the high 80s, tracking meaningful metrics like greens in regulation and redefining what constitutes a successful tee shot can lead to performance optimization. We dive into distance measurement next. Get Scott’s expert insights on using launch monitors with your specific golf ball to pinpoint true iron distances and eliminate outliers. Learn how PGA pros like Aaron Wise use this data to make strategic adjustments, leading to more consistent, reliable shots. Finally, we’re exploring how speed training systems like the Rypstick and TheStack can take your swing speed to new heights!

    137. Taking on Course Management to Break 80 this Summer with Scott Fawcett of Decade Golf (Part 1)
    Jun 17 2024

    In the first of this two-part conversation, I’m sitting down with Scott Fawcett, founder of the DECADE Course Management System, to learn his unique approach to playing golf with intention–beyond the swing.

    Listen in as Scott shares how the game's evolution places equal weight on both the mental and the physical, drawing parallels between golf and chess. Whether you're a club-level player or an aspiring pro, Scott’s Decade system offers a simplified approach to understanding the complexities of the game, helping you play smarter, not harder.

    We then take a deep dive into putting performance, breaking down the concepts of tracking putts and strokes gained. Discover the importance of walking off putt distances and why nailing long putts can dramatically impact your game. Professor Mark Broadie’s strokes gained method offers a nuanced, step-by-step approach that goes beyond just counting total putts.

    Scott and I end the first part of our discussion with our thoughts on the types of mental health challenges faced by golfers at all levels. We explore the emotional and psychological strains of the sport, using drawing on our personal experiences to highlight the importance of having a support system to keep you afloat. From Tiger Woods’ legendary mental resilience to the tragic story of Grayson Murray, we’re bringing to the surface the need for more mental health awareness in the golfing community.
