How much can you really trust what you see on a swing video? In this episode, Erik, Jayson, and Tyson break down the biggest limitations of 2D video and why it often misleads golfers and instructors alike. They explain how fixed cameras can distort key elements like trail elbow bend, knee flex, pelvis rotation, and the difference between shoulder turn and chest rotation. The crew discusses why camera angle and height matter so much, how poor visuals create faulty concepts, and why 3D systems offer clarity by measuring what the eye can’t see. The takeaway: 2D video can be useful, but only when you understand its blind spots and how to translate what you see into real 3D movement.

With winter golf trips on the calendar for many northern players, Erik, Jayson, and Tyson tackle how to approach these getaways without letting expectations ruin the experience. They discuss why most golfers aren’t “peaking” during winter trips, how to prepare your body, swing, and mindset ahead of time, and why simplifying to one swing thought can go a long way. The crew also explores how these trips can be used as a testing ground for winter work, what to prioritize when practice time is limited, and why short game and walking fitness often get overlooked. Most importantly, they remind listeners how to enjoy golf again: playing for the experience, not just the score.

This episode features John Graham, a PGA Tour and LPGA Tour putting instructor known for his practical, results-driven approach to putting performance. John joins Erik and Tyson to break down what effective putting training should actually look like and discusses why golfers often make putting far more complicated than it needs to be. They chat about how Tour players practice speed, line, and green reading differently than amateurs, how those habits have evolved over time, and which skills move the needle most for everyday golfers. John also shares simple, game-based drills—like ladder-style challenges that players can immediately take to the practice green to improve aim, speed control, and confidence.
