From Ball Flight To Forces A Smarter Way To Diagnose Golf Swing Issues

Send us Fan Mail

Your swing isn’t “broken” and it probably isn’t “perfect” either, so why do we coach it like every golfer needs the same fix? With Chuck on the road, I run solo and use a few timely topics to get practical about what actually changes scores: smart diagnosis, clear concepts, and equipment that matches the human holding the club.

We start with how I evaluate players in the lab and on the range: ball flight and dispersion first, then the kinematics of how the body moves, and then the kinetics of how you create ground reaction forces and pressure. Force plates and tools like Smart2Move can be a huge advantage, but not every problem is a force plate problem, and not every player learns best by thinking about their feet. I share how I try to coach the least invasive way possible by meeting golfers where they are, whether that means feels in the hands, a simple ball-flight task, or a graph that makes a pattern obvious in two seconds.

Then we shift to the gear that too many golfers overlook. I make the case for graphite and composite iron shafts, explain why “heavy and stiff” is often ego golf, and talk through the trade-offs that can impact spin, launch, and distance. We finish with wedges: why bounce can be your friend, why grind matters, and how turf and bunker firmness can change what belongs in your bag.
