Shout Out!

In 2022, I did STACK Swing Speed Training and improved my driver distance potential from 201to 232 yards.

Well I am BACK TO STACK! Before restarting STACK my driver distance potential was 182 yards (getting older!).  Now doing STACK, and using JP Guidry Training Sessions and  Mach 3 Speed Training Tools, my distance potential after 5 STACK sessions has jumped from 182 to more than 200 yards - and MORE IMPROVEMENT TO COME!!
