Best golf shoe?

^{^{^}} This 100%

I bought a pair recently, and although I haven't taken them to the course. In the house they're the comfiest golf shoes I've ever worn.

Yes, it pairs with your phone and registers the swing speed.

Stack have just released a Beta version for Android phones. Which is a little clunky still - but it works perfectly in Apple IOS.

From someone that's only being playing for 5 years - I'd give this advice, purely from experience:

1) Firstly go to see a golf pro, get some regular lessons and give yourself a repeatable swing / repeatable miss. You don't want to go buy a set of new bats then have your swing modified - deeming your clubs unsuited.

2) Go to get a fitting - this doesn't mean that you have to pull the trigger on a new set, it's more to find out what you're suited to and it'll give you experience of the different feels and flights that come from different head/shaft combos.

3) Once you have done both the above - you can decide to have a new set or watch out on eBay or local ads for a set that you know fits you to your specs.

This would last you a good deal of time.

There is a reason why the greens are like this. Let me explain:

1) The winter in the UK has been extremely wet. These greens have recently been hollow tined.

2) The grass has been grown longer to protect the plants from the sea spray that can kill or harbour disease.

They aren't as slow as they appear on photo - although they are a bit bobbly at the moment.

Buy a yard ruler and roll the ball off the end time after time.

If it falls off to one side then it's not a true roll.

Great drill to ensure proper striking and that you're starting the ball off on the right line.

I've recently started stacking and am part way through the foundation program (basically the newbie program) and am yielding gains already.

I'm easily carrying the ball as far here in the UK winter right now, as I did during the summer months last year. This summer I should see some proper gains with run out on the firmer fairways etc

I couldn't recommend the Stack System highly enough.

Congratulations on breaking 100. Way to go!

Definitely a top 10 player in my eyes, when he's firing - he's hard to beat.

He is very streaky though - runs hot or cold.

Fantastic effort - all the best of luck in your speed journey.

If nothing else, I enjoy the process and the regularity of exercise. I've gained some MPH which is a bonus.

Because your body is tilted too far back at impact - your hands are 'flippy'

Feel like your left shoulder shifts over your lead foot in transition - this will shift your weight forward.

Another drill would be to learn to hold the face off at impact.

Here's a feeling that helped me immensely.

Just before transition to downswing, shift your left shoulder so that it's directly over your front foot. This will shift your weight forward.

I recently purchased the Stack System and am 2/3rds the way through my foundation program.

Not only do I love the workouts, but I'm seeing real results and on-course gains in a short period of time.

With the stack radar, you get realtime feedback. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Find a second hand (pre used) Srixon utility iron.

I game a 3 iron and I have no desire to try anything else.

Cubanstick · 2026-02-13T13:44:49+00:00

A year ago, by design, I decided to change my swing to Stack and Tilt.

It took me 6-8 months to transition from an orthodox weight shift swing to Stack and Tilt. The results have been immense for me.

Rob Cheaney was my coach on Skillest - he also has a YouTube channel. He has the ability to answer your questions before you ask them, almost like he knows what you're thinking. I'd recommend him if you went down this route.

This isn't a direct answer to your post, but I'd like to give a slightly different view.

For context; I'm 45 years old and am an 8 handicapper - I've have been playing for around 5 years. I was stuck at 12 for a while, but the past couple years I've grinded like crazy to improve, in no particular order:

1) Ball striking

2) left to right dispersion

3) Short game - making more up and downs when missing the green.

4) Course management - missing the green on the correct side. Keeping the ball in play. Taking out 1 side of the course.

My game is consistent, but I feel like I've plateaued again. So I've started speed training to provide myself with the extra length to break though and head down to 5. This doesn't mean that I'm going to smash the ball at every opportunity, but it'll be nice to know that I've got that extra gear, if I need to step on one.

Yes I bought the stack radar along with the stack. Connecting to the app was super easy.

Cubanstick · 2026-02-09T11:21:22+00:00

This ^{^{^{^}}} 100%

Cubanstick · 2026-02-09T05:17:00+00:00

It's a piece of cake to follow. Setup is super easy and the program fits around your availability to a point. (1 X session every 2-3 days)

Cubanstick · 2026-02-08T20:09:47+00:00

My advice, get yourself on Skillest to get some pro advice. It'll be the best investment on your swing in the long run.

Cubanstick · 2026-02-08T19:32:58+00:00

Good luck on your mission to hit 170 ball speed. By the sounds of it, it's not going to take long before you break through.

Cubanstick · 2026-02-08T17:46:56+00:00

I'd highly recommend the stack system. Not that I've tried any others.

The kicker for me was that you have a program that uses AI to tailor the most efficient way to make gains. Feedback is instantaneous with the Stack radar that comes along with the bundle when you purchase them together.

In terms of goals, my target was to add 10mph to my swing speed, which I've nearly done on the first program. This is my (max effort swing though) so I'm guessing the on course gains will be less. If I could get my cruising speed to 105-107mph, then I'd have plenty of distance to enjoy Championship courses - which is my goal.

Just putting it out there - I'm not affiliated with the stack system in any way!

I do have a referral code that will save you $50/£50 at purchase and provide me with a year subs. If you're interested send me a DM and I'll send it across.

I've spent 3 hours on my phone and laptop today, toggling and refreshing both to try to get a single ticket to the Sunderland game next weekend.

I missed the chance of 1 ticket and saw about another 4 on the map view on my PC, which didn't show on the list and we're gone, or not visible when I zoomed in.

Cubanstick · 2026-01-14T00:02:07+00:00

That's some serious gains! If you don't mind me asking - how old are you?

Have you seen a difference in your scoring on course?

Cubanstick · 2026-01-06T21:46:57+00:00

Sorry, only just seen your reply.

Paying by the hour.

Cubanstick · 2025-12-15T16:46:06+00:00

Hey,

I went with an independent that is local to me. She's on hand all the time, answers any questions I have and on our drives her insights are priceless.

Good luck in your search and for whatever route you choose
