Idk why we're talking about SWAY GAP so much but that's what we're doing on the podcast this week.

And we have so much more on the newsletter.
​
​But first... Mayo Clinic survey update​
Thank you to everyone who took the Mayo Clinic wrist survey last week. We’re at 188 responses!

The researchers need 350+ for the results to really hold up, so we’re a little over halfway there.

If you haven’t taken it yet, golfers with AND without wrist pain both count. 👉 [Take the survey here].​

Why You Can't Stop Swinging Over the Top (and SWAY GAP is the answer)

The guys are back together and Luke and Justin can't stop talking about Sway Gap... Cause it's kind of a big deal.

It's a great pod. Here's some of what we cover.

  • Why your setup probably isn’t causing your slice.
  • A perfect position at the top can still produce a terrible swing.
  • Justin and Luke finally disagree, and it’s about the most common miss in golf.
  • The drill Luke says has never failed to fix an over-the-top move.
  • Why the best fix for your body might not involve your body at all.
  • Will the Vikings win the Super Bowl?!

🙌 Well Played: This Week’s Top Finds:

📚 New book I'd highly recommend. Been following Ben Meer for awhile and his approach towards systems and structure is really helpful. Looking forward to applying this to golf and seing how it all fits together.

🎥 Love a good training aid review video.

🛠️ RANDOM RECOMMENDATION: not golf-related, but adding a Find My iPhone tracker into my wallet has saved me so many times. I use this Ridge one. Buy it, and you'll thank me at some point in the future. 😂

New Youtube channel to check out - I got to know Scott this summer when he had me out to his home course of Tetherow in Bend, Oregon, to shoot some videos for his new channel. (Those will be out soon), but he just launched the first video here. Go give it a watch ​

INSIDER UPDATE: I played the same hole 100 times

This past month I’ve been working on a new video where I played a drivable par 4 at my home course a 100 times. The goal was to figure out if I should hit driver, 3-iron, or 7-iron off the tee.

I wrapped up the experiment, and now I’m talking to experts about what I saw. Then we’ll put it all together into a full video for the main channel.

​Here’s a look at the data:​

I’m curious what questions you have and what this makes you think about.

I want to cover every angle on course strategy, and on being aggressive off the tee versus laying back, when I sit down with the experts for the video.

Hit reply and send me your questions!

Play well,
Cordie
