  • 059: Distance Wedges — Controlling Your Scoring Shots

    059: Distance Wedges — Controlling Your Scoring Shots
    Apr 21 2026
    If you want to score, you have to own your wedge distances. In this episode, Erik, Jayson, and Tyson break down how to build a reliable system for partial wedge shots. Whether that’s through specific swing speeds, a clock system, or calibrated feels, they discuss the importance of consistent strike, why small adjustments like grip, ball position, and swing length matter, and how different trajectories can produce overlapping yardages with different outcomes. The conversation also emphasizes feedback and repetition, along with developing a few “go-to” distances you can trust under pressure. The goal: turn wedge play into a strength by combining structure, feel, and adaptability.

  • 058: How Forces Influence Shot Shape

    058: How Forces Influence Shot Shape
    Apr 14 2026

    Can ground forces really change your shot shape? Or is their role overstated? In this episode, Erik, Jayson, and Tyson explore how forces/pressure shifts, the generated torque, and the point of application can influence ball flight, while debating just how much they actually matter. They discuss the small margins between fades and draws, why many golfers chasing a new shape may be applying the wrong magnitude or direction of force, and how other factors (like clubface and path) still dominate. The conversation also touches on why some players are naturally biased toward certain shot shapes and how forces may subtly support (but not dictate) those tendencies.

  • 057: Five Main Causes of an Overswing (And How to Fix Them)

    057: Five Main Causes of an Overswing (And How to Fix Them)
    Apr 7 2026

    What actually causes an overswing, and why do so many golfers struggle to control it? Erik, Jayson, and Tyson break down the most common contributors, including excessive trail elbow bend, over-rotating the pelvis, rolling the club inside, delaying wrist hinge, and swaying while tilting. They also discuss how factors like poor awareness, weak trail arm structure, or combinations of things can compound the issue. The conversation emphasizes that an overswing isn’t just “too long,” but often the result of sequencing and loading problems earlier in the motion. Understanding the root cause is key to shortening the swing without sacrificing speed or power. Original Twitter thread here.

    • Cause #1: Trail Elbow Bend (Over-Bend!)
    • Cause #2: Overturning the Pelvis
    • Cause #3: Rolling the Club Inside and Lifting Late
    • Cause #4: Wide Takeaway (Late Wrist Hinge)
    • Cause #5: Sway and Tilt
