Mark Crossfield joins Chris Finn on The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad for a real talk episode on what actually separates elite players from great amateurs—especially in your 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Mark shares why his “Senior Tour” journey isn’t really about chasing a dream… it’s about answering the question most golfers avoid: what are tour players doing that the rest of us simply can’t fake? They dig into the truth behind speed and aging (including the “41 cliff”), why over-practicing can backfire, and how rebuilding your engine through strength + mobility changes what your “game speed” feels like.

They also break down the trap of chasing a max swing, how to close the gap between “all-out” and “playable,” and why Mark has replaced range sessions with workouts—even though he admits he hates lifting. Plus: Mark gives a clear, no-hype breakdown of today’s golf tech stack, what launch monitors are actually worth buying, and why most golfers get tricked by numbers instead of getting better.

If you’ve ever felt like your swing is still “pretty good” but your body isn’t cooperating anymore—this one will hit home.

In this episode:

• Why TV “shoulder turn” isn’t really shoulder turn

• The real separator: speed + strength (not more reps on the range)

• Mobility breakthroughs (and the “brittle” wake-up call)

• The difference between max speed and gaming speed

• How to build a training routine that actually sticks

• Tech in 2026: what matters, what’s overkill, and what to buy

“Shoulder turn” is one of the most misunderstood phrases in golf.

In this episode of The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn breaks down what shoulder turn actually is—and what it isn’t—from a mobility, biomechanics, and clubhead speed perspective. Spoiler: what commentators call “shoulder turn” on TV usually has very little to do with the shoulders themselves.

You’ll learn:

• Why most “shoulder turn” is really thoracic spine rotation, not shoulder motion

• How limited T-spine rotation impacts clubhead speed, sequencing, and posture

• The connection between poor thoracic mobility and low back pain

• How insufficient rotation forces compensations like standing up, swaying, or sliding

• What rotation benchmarks matter based on swing speed and age

• Why hips and shoulders are prioritized first—and where the T-spine fits into the bigger picture

This is a practical, no-nonsense breakdown of one of the most overlooked contributors to both performance and pain in the golf swing—and why improving thoracic mobility can unlock speed faster than most golfers realize.

If your back or elbow pain “gets better” when you rest—but comes right back the moment you return to golf—this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn breaks down why golfers often get stuck in a frustrating loop of treatment, rest, and reinjury. He explains the real root causes behind recurring golf-related back and elbow pain, why many rehab plans fail to address them, and what a proper clinical assessment should include.

You’ll learn:

• Why limited hip internal rotation and shoulder external rotation are the #1 drivers of golf elbow and back pain

• How treating symptoms alone (dry needling, injections, exercises) misses the real problem

• The critical difference between being “pain-free” and being ready to return to golf

• Why return-to-play protocols are often skipped—and how that leads to reinjury

• What smart questions golfers should ask their physical therapist, chiropractor, or surgeon

This episode isn’t about blaming providers—it’s about helping golfers become informed advocates for their own health, so they can swing fast, play longer, and stay pain-free.
