  • Golf expertise meets leading-edge tech, meets golf nerds — great pod! Can’t wait for more.

    Thanks guys I’m really loving this pod.

    The content feels like it’s right on the leading edge of golf nerding, latest tech and research. The interplay between the three experts is really clean and tight, and sometimes the powerful comments deserve a 2nd or 3rd listen.

    Thanks guys, Looking forward to hearing more

  • Fresh and Modern Views

    The conversations are well composed and informative. It’s so nice to hear high golf IQ instructors and players discuss topics in a way anyone can follow. I appreciate how they discuss opinions and aren’t afraid to disagree at times. I particularly liked the ‘drills i don’t like’ episode. I would like to hear them do a podcast on common golf misconceptions and why they’re bogus aside from drills. Well done guys!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

062: Michael Neff on the GEARS “Nipper Curve” and Lie Angle
Q: Why is it so difficult to explain the concept to the fitting world and manufacturers?
Because most fitting setups rely on traditional lie-angle thinking and impact-based measurements; GEARS provides a way to visualize shaft droop and its effect on face angle, but explaining the coupling between shaft droop, lie angle, and clubhead dynamics requires specialized measurement and education.
062: Michael Neff on the GEARS “Nipper Curve” and Lie Angle
Q: What kind of feedback have you gotten from the fitting community, and why aren't all fitters grasping at this?
Feedback has been mixed; many fitters and OEMs would adopt this if it mattered and if the broader fitting ecosystem understood the shaft- lie angle interaction, but the concept has been hard to communicate without a device that clearly shows the shaft droop and corresponding face angle changes.
050: Between Two Shots with Jason Novetsky
Q: What would be the first thing that you would ask someone to do on their own if they just want to improve the space between shots?
Start with fundamentals like routines and recognizing your mental traps that may distract you.
050: Between Two Shots with Jason Novetsky
Q: What's one or two of the biggest mistakes in between those shots that you are constantly trying to help players improve on?
A lot has to do with behavior between shots, such as visibly showing frustration or using self-deprecating language.
022: Listener Mailbag #1 - Shallowing, Compression, and Clubface Control
Q: What are the pros and cons of attending a three-day golf school?
Pros include dedicated learning while cons focus on cost and realistic expectations.
