Welcome back to the Macro Golf Podcast from Full Swing HQ.
Today we’re diving into a big one:
👉 What we’ve completely changed our minds on as coaches.

Golf coaching has evolved massively.
We’ve evolved massively.
And over the last few years — especially working together, screening players, and bringing fitness + technique under one roof — our perspectives have shifted in ways we never expected.

This episode unpacks those shifts.

• Why “just get strong and mobile” isn’t enough anymore
How we now bridge fitness and technique using force production patterns.

• Why power sequencing influences your swing more than mobility does
And why golfers who rotate hard, push hard, or extend early need different gym work.

• Why generic exercise prescriptions fail — and how individualised power work changes swings

• How force direction, timing, and previous sports shape the way people swing the club
…and how to rewire it with gym drills.

• How screening has completely changed the way we coach
What we see, what it tells us, and how it informs swing decisions.

• Why writing “perfect” training plans is less important than understanding the person
The plan only works if the player does.

• Why coaching is 90% communication and translation
Turning feels into cues, finding the right words for the right brain, adapting tools to individuals.

• Why awareness of target is one of the most powerful skills in golf
And how it transformed our own putting, chipping, and ball flight control.

• Why long practice sessions often do more harm than good
Focus, attention, motor learning, and why shorter windows work better.

• Why mobility training, stretching methods, and habit-building all had to be rethought

This is one of our most honest, reflective, and “inside the studio” conversations so far.
Coaches will relate.
Players will get clarity.
Everyone will learn something.
