You might be excited about the Ryder Cup, but I'm excited because we're kicking off our first podcast in the new alt putting series. 😁

Armlock, broomstick, wrist lock (anything of that sort). We're going to learn everything about them over the next month or two.

Today at a Glance

• The big problem with arm-lock putting.
• Why do golfers make fun of this?
• ☠️ Deadly early extension drill, literally.
• Out-of-the-box health essentials list.

Should you switch to Armlock Putting?

Welcome to our first episode in our alt putting series!

Our first guest is Marty Jertson, VP of Fitting and Performance at Ping and Co-Founder of the Stack. ALSO... someone who uses an Armlock putter.

​

​
Here's what we covered in this episode:

• The real benefit of armlock putting.
• The big drawback that makes lag putting harder (and Marty’s fix for it).
• Who should actually consider switching... and who shouldn’t touch it.
• The fitting specs that matter most: length, loft, and headweight.

I'll continue working to get the absolute best guests possible on the most interesting topics. All I ask in return is this: hit the follow button and leave a quick review wherever you listen to podcasts. That’s our golfer's agreement. If you’re getting value, that’s how you can help me keep this thing growing.

Firmly believe this will grow into something HUGE.

I think one of the biggest categories golfers are sleeping on is VR golf.

Until you put on the headset and hit some shots you don't understand just how realistic it is.

Sure it's easy to make fun of it and say it's not real golf. And your right. It's not.

But it's pretty dang fun and more like golf that you'd guess.

You can bend down read putts, you can manipulate the club face and hit different types of shots, when you set your club down behind the ball you feel the turf...

One of the my favorite aspects is "playing along" with tour events

You can experience the elevation changes and see what all the shots are going to look like.

I saw this week they even added in the grandstands at Bethpage Black.
