Dan Landman is the founder of Spoiler Golf and the inventor of the Spoiler OG Putter. The idea for Spoiler Golf came from putting with a wedge and, by extension, learning how pure the ball rolled from the leading edge of a Wedge vs the traditional “flat face” of a putter. Dan and Spoiler Golf believe a better roll of the golf ball unlocks a better putting experience, and so they set out to change the face of putting for everybody. Dan's suspicion of a purer roll of the ball coming off the leading edge of a club vs the face of a putter was confirmed with research measuring the skid and roll of golf ball. He and his engineer/designer doubled down on their efforts and built a number of "Leading Edge" putters. Eventually after much trial and error they settled on the Spoiler OG - a putter where form truly met function. Dan explains the Leading Edge technology as he introduces the Spoiler Putter. He also addresses: The importance of putting and the role it plays in lowering scores How the Leading Edge technology works How Leading Edge technology enhances focus and concentration on the process of excecution on the greens Impact location for success in distance control and accuracy Mitigating the yips with Leading Edge technology, and How the Spoiler gives instant feedback for quicker, more purpose-driven learning.

Sam Hahn, the founder of L.A.B. Golf joins #OntheMark to talk with Mark Immelman about the L.A.B. Golf putters and how their Lie Angle Balance technology can help golfers improve their putting strokes and make more putts. Hahn introduces the selection of L.A.B. putters and the PGA TOUR player that have changed their putting fortunes by using them. He also talks about: The hallmark of great putting - returning the putter face to “square” at impact, or perpendicular to the target line and how LAB putters make that easier. The research showing that 83% of a putt’s starting direction is influenced by the direction of the putter face at impact. What is Lie Angle Balance Technology and the design of LAB putters with elements like Weighting, Shaft design and angle, Grip alignment and style. The influence of Torque in the putting stroke, and on the putter face, and the elements in the LAB putters that reduce torque for more control. "Torque Hangover" in putting and grip pressure for putter face control. How Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) Technology makes it effortless for golfers to deliver a square putter face at impact.

Brian Manzella is a perennial member of Golf Digest magazine's 50 Best Teachers in America List. He is also a Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher in America. His 40-year+ teaching career includes a long tutelage under the late Ben Doyle, and a lengthy relationship with PGA Champion, and multiple PGA TOUR winner David Toms. Brian joins #OntheMark to illustrate the Alpha, Beta and Gamma Axes and how the golf-club performs in relation to them throughout the golfswing. His insights are a function of the 3D Golf-swing Research done by the Michael Jacobs team. Using the "Jacobs' 3D Airplane he describes and illustrates the 3 Dimensional Kinetics the club undergoes during the golfswing. He shows how and when the club is 'pushed or pulled' and when it is torqued. Very importantly he illustrates how research on over three thousand golf-swings has proved that a good ball-striker makes the sum of the 'Moments Alpha' or 'Rotaters' positive in the transition into the downswing. Brian illustrates the importance of this move in order to allay misunderstandings about shallowing the club in the downswing. He shows drills and PGA TOUR examples, like Rory McIlroy and Lee Trevino to galvanize his points and insights. He also explains how Sergio Garcia strikes the golf ball so well by describing how various hand-paths results in different Alpha, Beta and Gamma Forces and Torques. It may sound complicated but it is really easy to learn to 'tumble' and not 'flop' the shaft angle in the downswing to strike the ball more powerfully and crisply.

Reeves Weedon is a Fellow of the PGA, a published author and researcher. He’s also an authorized Master of the Golfing Machine, a TPI Certified coach and a presenter for the Nick Faldo series of golf. Reeves specialises in Biomechanics and the Prevention of Lower Back Injuries in golf. Recently his three-year research project (on prevention of lower back injuries - conducted at Michigan State University) was presented to the 37th International Society of Biomechanics in Sports Conference. Reeves joins #OntheMark to discuss "Weedon's Way" - his method of swinging a golf club. His "Lower Body Swing" is based on a fundamental fact of physics - all power ultimately comes from Ground Force and from pushing on the ground. His golf swing involves a whole body motion, powered by the appropriate use of the legs, hat does not require any compensatory moves to get the club on plane, or preserve loft, or create lag. Weedon's approach to using the legs to initiate the correct Kinematic Sequence promotes maximum clubhead speed for minimum effort by way of an efficient, timely transmission of force to the club. Unlike other golf swing methods, Weedon's "Lower Body Swing" directs the golfer’s attention to the movements that Physics prove powers the golf shot. This approach to swinging the golf-club makes use of two of the three largest muscles sets in the body - the Gluteus Maximus and the Quadriceps. Activating these muscles when swinging the club enhances power, consistency and most importantly reduces back injury and pain by enhancing the pivot and reducing tilts. Play with less pain and more power. Download this podcast or watch it on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/@MarkImmelman

Noah Wolf is the Founder and CEO of TOUR Aim Golf. An engineer by trade, Noah's golf was inconsistent due to limited practice time and poor range habits. He tried swing aids and alignment sticks but found them cumbersome and difficult to use. After fruitlessly hitting hundreds of balls, not paying attention to alignment and aim, he developed some bad swing habits. These translated into high scores and lots of lost balls. So, with the sole focus of making practicing golf more effective and efficient, Noah invented and created Tour Aim. He joins #OntheMark to tell the story about the TOUR Aim Alignment and Golf Swing Aid and how it came to prominence on The PGA TOUR. He, with the help on Mark Immelman, illustrates its many functions that help improve fundamentals like Alignment, Aim, Target Sighting and Acquisition, Swing and Stroke Path, and Swing Plane and Direction. He also talks about how the TOUR Aim took root in the Pro Game and how a number of Golf Teachers, including Sean Foley, and players, e.g., Justin Rose, tested TOUR Aim and began using it instantly. Improve your game by making your practice intentional and productive with The TOUR Aim. Further more, compliments of Noah, use Promo Code "OntheMark25" to get 25% off your purchase of a TOUR Aim.
