About this episode
Ready to stop renting swing changes and finally own your game? We dig into why so many golfers stall out despite new gear and endless tips, and we map a clearer path forward: study your miss patterns, track real data, and train skills that hold up on real lies with real pressure. The goal isn’t perfect positions; it’s predictable outcomes. We pull back the curtain on golf’s hype cycle and why “buying a game” rarely works. Then we get specific: where to place force in the swing, why stability beats late speed, and how neutral-ish path and face-to-path relationships build a shot shape you can trust. You’ll learn why consistent apex and land angle across the bag matters more than peak seven-iron distance, how to practice variability instead of comfort, and why the best players embrace uncomfortable reps because that’s where the nervous system rewires. This conversation also tackles the human side of improvement: accountability, useful stats, and the mindset to ride golf’s highs and lows without spiraling. We share practical ways to use tools like Arccos and launch monitors to reveal true carry distances, side tendencies, and gapping issues—sometimes even hidden loft problems. With objective feedback, coaching shifts from entertainment to performance, and your practice starts solving real problems instead of feeding your ego. If you’re serious about getting better, measure more, guess less, and commit to the unglamorous work that makes your pattern predictable.
