What really rotates in a great golf swing, and how much should it? In this episode, Erik, Jayson, and Tyson break down the way four key things rotate that every golfer should understand: the pelvis, chest, forearms, and the shaft itself. From how the pelvis often feels more linear than rotational, to the chest’s spiral-like motion, to how forearm rotation influences shaft lean and clubface control, the crew dives into the mechanics and feel behind rotational movement. They also tackle common misconceptions like over-rotating the hips or neglecting the chest, and explore how a golfer’s awareness of each component can make or break consistent ball striking.

In golf, it’s not enough to just practice: you have to practice with the right kind of feedback. In this episode, we dive into why feedback is essential for improvement, how it can sometimes mislead you, and what it means to “complete the feedback loop” in your training. We explore how drills, technology, and even a coach’s silence can shape learning, and why finding the simplest, most effective source of feedback is often the key to lasting progress.

In this episode, we dig into three of the most challenging (yet critical) aspects of the golf swing. First, we explore the timing of the shifts: when to move pressure and mass back, and how to begin shifting forward even before the backswing is fully complete. Next, we tackle the start of the swing, including how the wrists, arms, and body coordinate to get the motion underway. Finally, we dive into the transition, that razor-thin moment when the club changes direction, momentum must be managed, and forces need to be applied in the right places… all in the blink of an eye. These three pieces represent some of the hardest moves for golfers to master, and we share our thoughts on why, and how players can start to get them right.
