    Are you concentrating too much on your body and not enough on your hands? In this fascinating episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by Ethan Bramble of Stay Handsy Golf to challenge some of the conventional wisdom surrounding the modern golf swing.

    If today clicked, have a look at the Compact Club from Handsy Golf. It looks small, but it's heavier than your driver, and it lives by the sofa. A few minutes a day swinging that weight and your hands learn to swing the club. Compact your training, expand your game. stayhandsy.com/mindcaddy

    Ethan believes that golfers have become far too focused on body mechanics, ground reaction forces and complicated movements, while overlooking the most important connection of all: the relationship between your hands and the golf club.

    Together, Karl and Ethan explore why feel might be the missing ingredient in your game, and why learning to communicate with the club could transform the way you play.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • The missing link in your golf swing: Why so many golfers overuse their bodies and underuse their hands, and why this could be holding back your performance.

    • Rethinking the golf grip: Why a stronger grip might actually make the game easier, improve leverage and help the club release more naturally.

    • Feel is the language of the club: Understanding how your hands communicate with the clubface, control the strike and influence the flight of the ball.

    • What we can learn from the world's best: How Tiger Woods, Scottie Scheffler and Jack Nicklaus demonstrate the importance of hand awareness, feel and controlling the clubface.

    • The problem with 'lobster claws': Ethan explains common grip mistakes, finger positioning, grip pressure and why keeping your fingers connected can make such a difference.

    • The Compact Club and winter practice: Discover Ethan's Compact Club, a training tool designed to improve your relationship with the golf club, even when you're sitting at home or travelling.

    Could it be that we've made golf far more complicated than it needs to be? Perhaps the answer isn't another complicated body movement, but simply learning to feel the club in your hands.

    A thought-provoking conversation that might just change the way you approach your golf swing.

  • Master Your Mind: Unlock Your Hidden Golfing Potential - Karl Morris & Jim Waldron #433

    Master Your Mind: Unlock Your Hidden Golfing Potential - Karl Morris & Jim Waldron #433
    30 Oct 2026
    Get a personalised mental game plan with Karl AI. Start Your 7-Day Free Trial Now. https://mindcaddie.app.link/B8OMj7jVv6b What should you really be doing with your golf game this winter? Should you rebuild your swing from the ground up, sharpen the skills you already have, or focus on the mental game that allows you to perform under pressure? In this episode of The Mind Caddie, performance coach Karl Morris is joined by renowned golf instructor and mind-body specialist Jim Waldron for another fascinating conversation about how to get the very best out of your game. Together, they explore why winter can be the perfect time to make fundamental swing changes, how to build new movement patterns effectively, and why simply hitting balls at the driving range while thinking about your technique is unlikely to deliver the results you want. Jim shares his practical approach to swing development, explaining the importance of slow-motion mirror work, training one change at a time, and creating a clear memory of the correct movement before gradually increasing speed. But there's another route to improvement that could be far more effective for many golfers: learning to access the skills you already possess by experimenting with different focal points, developing better awareness and refining your ability to control the clubface. The conversation goes beyond the driving range, too. Karl and Jim discuss walking meditation, improving concentration away from the course, developing resilience, overcoming performance anxiety and learning to let go of the need to control every shot. They also challenge one of golf's most deeply ingrained assumptions: that you must play the course according to the par printed on the scorecard. What if changing your perception of a hole could transform your course management, reduce pressure and help you enjoy the game more? Whether you're planning a major swing overhaul or simply want to play better golf next season, this episode offers a wealth of practical ideas to make your winter training more purposeful — and your golf more enjoyable. Six Key Takeaways Why winter is the ideal time to change your swing: Discover why major technical changes are often best tackled in the off-season, and why attempting several radical changes at once can undermine your progress. The power of slow-motion training: Jim explains his method of using mirror work, exaggerated movements and gradual increases in speed to establish new movement patterns before introducing the golf ball. Stop thinking your way through the golf swing: Understand why verbal swing thoughts often fail at full speed, and how developing a reliable memory of the correct physical sensations can help you access new skills on the course. Find the focal points that unlock your natural ability: Explore how experimenting with balance, grip pressure, rhythm, clubface control and other areas of attention can help you discover what works best for your individual game. Train your mind away from the golf course: Learn how walking meditation and deliberately focusing on the external world can improve concentration, calm your internal chatter and prepare you to handle pressure more effectively. Rethink mental toughness, fear and even par: Discover why accepting uncertainty, letting go of excessive control and adapting your expectations to your current abilities can help you become a more resilient golfer and enjoy the game on your own terms.
