    Blocking Out The Noise + We Got Fit For The New Titleist Driver

    In this episode of the Pure Drive Podcast, Brian Dunlevy is joined by the crew to break down their recent Titleist GTS fitting experience at Renaissance Golf Club. The guys dive into the latest driver and fairway wood technology, including new front-and-back weighting systems, performance gains, and what stood out most during their fittings. They also recap a competitive week of golf, including a Mass Open qualifier at Kernwood Country Club—covering course strategy, key mistakes, and the mental side of tournament play. Plus, a wild caddie story that highlights just how unpredictable competitive golf can be. The conversation shifts into practical insights for golfers, including how to handle difficult playing partners, stay mentally locked in during tournaments, and how to approach a proper practice round. To wrap things up, the crew talks PGA Tour storylines, swing quirks from top players, and makes their picks for the upcoming week.

    The Pure Drive Podcast Re-Launch

    Brian Dunlevy and the Pure Drive team officially relaunch the Pure Drive Podcast, joined by Pure Drive Drive Golf owner and Director of Instruction Adam Kolloff to share their unique perspective as teaching professionals. The show will cover a wide range of golf topics including PGA Tour news, lesson insights, equipment reviews, course discussions, and tournament prep—all drawn from their day-to-day experiences coaching 25–45 golfers per week. A major focus of the episode is common swing issues, particularly shanking. The group discusses how small technical changes can sometimes worsen contact for certain players (“delicate flowers”), and emphasizes practical, feel-based drills—like placing a towel or object outside the ball—to improve strike without overthinking mechanics. They highlight the importance of adaptability in coaching and using athletic instincts over technical overload. The conversation shifts into player development and practice strategies, including:  Prioritizing strike quality (avoiding fat/shank misses)  Using drills for low-point control (towel drill, fairway bunker practice)  Structuring wedge practice through both swing length and club speed  The importance of short game preparation before tournaments Adam recaps his recent NEPGA event, reinforcing the idea that players can perform well even when they don’t feel their best. The group discusses managing expectations, sticking to routines, and building confidence through experience. On the professional golf side, they touch on:  The Fitzpatrick brothers winning the Zurich Classic  Tournament insights and player picks for the upcoming event at Doral  Nelly Korda’s dominant win at the Chevron Championship and her putting changes
