    Ep 250: The Stretch on the First Tee Is Costing You Speed | Myths Golfers Believe, Part 2 of 5

    Chris continues the myth-busting series by taking on a pre-round habit you’ll see at nearly every golf course: static stretching on the first tee. Chris explains why holding a stretch before you play makes you swing slower than doing nothing at all, and why a dynamic warm-up produces faster swings. He breaks down what’s actually limiting your mobility: in most cases it’s a neuromuscular or fascial restriction, not short muscles. With 93% of golfers over 50 failing at least one mobility test, he explains why stretching isn’t the fix, and lays out the three-step approach that is. He also covers why your body warm-up and your swing warm-up need to be separate, and why most golfers don’t play their best until the third or fourth hole. If you touch your toes for 30 seconds before every round, or you’ve been stretching for years without getting any more mobile, this episode is for you. In this episode: Why static stretching before a round lowers clubhead speed What’s really restricting your mobility, and why stretching doesn’t release it The three-step fix for failed mobility tests: soft tissue work, active movement, then load or speed How to warm up the way you move: dynamic, rotational, and progressive The wall test that shows why you can’t touch your toes, and how the hinge fixes it Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf

    Ep 249: Lifting Won’t Make You Tight - Training Without a Plan Will | Myths Golfers Believe, Part 1 of 5

    Chris kicks off a new myth-busting series by taking on the false belief he hears more than any other: that lifting will make you tight. Chris explains why your body restricts range of motion when it isn’t strong enough to support it, and why that loss happens so gradually that most golfers only notice when they see their swing on video. He breaks down the cascade P4S data points to: losing strength leads to losing mobility, and losing mobility leads to losing speed. He also covers why random workouts produce no results, and why the goal is to play golf at 80% of what your body can handle instead of redlining every swing. If someone has ever told you lifting will ruin your swing, or you’re lifting and feel tighter than ever, this episode is for you. In this episode: Why your body locks down mobility when it lacks the strength to support it The strength-mobility-speed cascade P4S sees in its assessment data Why “more” in the gym isn’t better, and what a plan built for your body includes How speed depends on strength and consistency depends on mobility How a 70-year-old can swing 100 mph without redlining Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf

    Ep 248: You Don’t Need a Better Swing to Shoot Lower Scores - Scott Fawcett, DECADE Golf

    Most golfers lose strokes to decisions, not swings. Chris Finn sits down with Scott Fawcett, founder of DECADE Golf and strategy coach to nearly 60 Tour players, including his first two students, Will Zalatoris and Bryson DeChambeau. Scott explains why generic strokes gained data can mislead amateurs, and what to track instead. In this episode, you will learn: Why strokes gained driving and approach numbers fall short without a daily course adjustment The Tiger Five: bogeys on par 5s, doubles, three-putts, bogeys inside 150 yards, and two-chips How the DECADE driver decision tree decides your club off the tee How to manage expectations on approach shots, and why lag putting from 20 to 40 feet is a key skill When to go for a par 5 in two and when to lay up How to get the most out of the DECADE app Scott qualified for the U.S. Mid-Amateur at 53. He shares the system behind that result and the honest lessons from his own tournament rounds. Download DECADE Golf in the App Store and use code PAR4 for 30% off.

    Ep 247: Why Golfers Over 50 Lose Speed (And the Hip Test 93% Fail)

    Golfers over 50 lose about 1 mph of clubhead speed every year. Chris Finn has yet to meet one who could not get faster. Chris shares what P4S has learned from a database of more than 15,000 golfers, including force plate data, 3D motion capture, and physical therapy records. He explains what that data means for your speed, consistency, and longevity in the game. Inside this episode: Why speed loss is not inevitable, and why slower golfers have the most room to gain The 4 rotary mobility tests every golfer should take (neck, trunk, shoulder, and hip) and what failing your lead or trail side means for your swing Hip internal rotation: the number one physical limitation nobody talks about. 93% of golfers over 50 fail it. A simple twist-and-tilt drill that gained live participants up to 10 degrees of trunk rotation in minutes Real client results, including a 66-year-old who added 3 mph training 15 minutes a day, four days a week The 3-step performance framework: assess, target what matters, retest Why speed training comes last, and why yoga alone will not fix your rotation -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf

    Ep 245: The 44-Yard Difference: What Speed Training Won't Tell You

    Anyone can gain clubhead speed. Chris Finn says a monkey could do it - swing your driver as hard as you can 10 times each direction and your speed goes up. That's not the hard part. The hard part - the thing most speed training programs skip - is durability. In this episode, Chris breaks down: Why overspeed training (systems like Stack) works, and who it's actually right for The real risk of chasing speed without knowing your body's limits first The data behind two golfers who start at the same swing speed: over 10 years, one gains roughly 30 yards while doing it right, the other loses about 10 miles per hour doing nothing. That's a 44-yard gap by year 10. The takeaway: speed is a tool, not a shortcut. Used on a body that hasn't been assessed for mobility and durability, it raises injury risk instead of lowering scores.

    Ep 244: Why "Just Do This Drill" Is Wasting Your Time

    Search "hip mobility golf" on YouTube and you'll find a hundred drills. The problem: if you fail a hip rotation test, there are at least six different underlying causes - from the TFL to the psoas to a bony block that no amount of stretching will fix. Pick a random exercise and you've got a one-in-six shot of picking the right one. In this episode, Chris Finn breaks down the three-layer framework P4S uses to figure out what's actually limiting a golfer's swing: Layer 1: Rotational mobility (hips, shoulders, thoracic spine, neck) Layer 2: Power output - and whether the problem is strength or elastic/reactive ability Layer 3: Swing efficiency (the "Easy 8") - separating physical limitations from intent and skill issues The takeaway: doing something is better than nothing, but doing the right thing matters more. Generic prescriptions - whether it's a mobility drill or a swing fix - skip the diagnostic step that tells you which of several possible causes actually applies to you.
