010: Commonly Misunderstood Concepts in Golf
Episode 10
Tuesday, 13 May, 2025

In this episode, we dive into some of the most misunderstood ideas that golfers — of all levels — tend to get backward. We break down why your arms shouldn’t do much in the backswing but are crucial in the downswing, why the hands and club don’t just move straight toward the ball from the top, and how “lateral force” is not the same as swaying (and might actually help prevent it). These aren’t just swing tips — they’re deeper concepts that, when understood correctly, can change the way you move and improve. Hosts: Erik J.
