040: Short Game vs. Long Game - Why They've Got Different Goals


Listen Later

In this episode, Jayson leads a discussion on why the short game and long game often demand opposite movement patterns and why trying to use one swing for both can hold golfers back. The crew breaks down how power swings benefit from shallower, speed-producing patterns, while finesse shots thrive on steeper angles, slower ball speeds, and more precise control. They explore how setup adjustments change from long clubs to wedges, why grip variations can help around the green, and how to identify whether your motion needs more “shallow” or “steep” built in. The conversation highlights the essential skill of shifting between kinematic power and finesse, and why mastering both is key to becoming a complete player.
